After the presentation of iOS 17, many of its novelties will reach the iPhone compatible with the system. However, not all functions will be available on all phones compatible with this new version of the system. So in this post we review the most striking ones, which they will only be present in the most recent models of the iPhone.
These are the functions that are currently shown officially
Whenever Apple presents a new operating system, it reviews the most important and striking functions. But new functions always end up being discovered that, even if they were omitted from the presentation, are made known as we “tinker” with the device. On the company’s official website, they take an overview of the new features they have unveiled.
However, just as we have new features, these include new small print that is important, and that as users, we must know, if we hope to have each and every one of the new features of iOS 17 on our iPhones. So, there are three standout features that are only going to be on certain models.
FaceTime Live Reactions
Although the most important improvements of this service will reach all phones compatible with iOS 17, as is the case of using FaceTime on Apple TV, the truth is that there are others that will only be present in the most recent models.
