iOS 17 — The Boring Update We Desperately Need
Spoiler alert: It’s not feature-packed, but it’s crucial
Every year, Apple fanboys eagerly anticipate the month of June. Why June? Because that’s when Apple showcases the preview of its operating systems for all its major devices.
The Worldwide Developer’s Conference, also known as WWDC, also known as Dub-Dub-Dee-Cee, is an annual Apple event dedicated to the pre-released operating systems. This event typically covers all the major operating systems such as iOS, iPadOS, macOS, TVOS, and HomePodOS.
Apple enthusiasts from all around the globe tune in at 10 AM Pacific time to spectate this magical event.
However, this year’s WWDC might be a disappointment to a lot of users expecting cool new features to be added to the iPhones. Unlike in the past, this year, Apple’s priority isn’t iOS, but something much more exciting.
Apple is focusing on a brand-new operating system
