Apple is preparing its next big update to fix major issues in iOS 17. Last week, the company released release candidate builds of its upcoming iOS 17.1 update to developers for final testing. This tells us that an update will be released soon. Apart from various OS bugs, iOS 17.1 will include the main features that Apple announced at its WWDC 2023 event in June. We now have the iOS 17.1 beta release date that users should be excited about.
Apple plans to release iOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, watchOS 10.1, macOS Sonoma 14.1 and tvOS 17.1 tomorrow.
iOS 17 was released to the public with tons of bugs and issues. The company released subsequent minor updates to fix some of the issues, but most are still under the hood. Users complain about UI bugs, random shutdowns, iPhone auto-locking, battery drain, and more. iOS 17.1 seems to be a major update since the release of the platform, restoring stability on both old and new iPhone models.
If Apple continues with its plan, iOS 17.1 could potentially be released on the date Tuesday at 10:00 AM PT. As mentioned earlier, Apple has already sent out release candidate builds of iOS 17.1 to developers, meaning the launch could happen anytime this week. Note that Apple usually releases software updates on Tuesdays. If the company releases the update tomorrow, you should prepare your device.
The iOS 17 release has plenty of features, such as AirDrop bulk transfers over the Internet in case someone moves away during the file transfer process. However, it seems that iOS 17.1 will not bring the expected Journal app to the iPhone or iPad. Apple will release another update in the coming months that includes a new Journal app for better productivity on iPhone and iPad.
Apart from iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, Apple will also release the new watchOS 10.1, tvOS 17.1 and macOS Sonoma 14.1 updates to the public. All of these updates include major bug fixes and performance improvements for a smooth user experience on Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV. We’ll let you know as soon as updates are available for all compatible devices.
watchOS 10.1 in particular will be a big update, as it will support NameDrop and allow users to share their contacts on the fly with the Double Tap feature. The Double Tap feature allows users to initiate features such as answering a phone call or summoning the Smart Stack. All of these major updates will be available to the public tomorrow.
