WWDC is one of the events that as an Apple lover I always look forward to, since it is the event with the least leaks from journalists because all the development takes place in Cupertino, it is not like the iPhone or the Mac that are produced in other countries and from transactions, we get more information. Despite the fact that this event has featured the Apple Vision, other soperating systems have been very continuous compared to the previous generation. Specifically, we refer to iOS 17 and we are going to analyze why it has been the big disappointment from WWDC.
stability and continuity
All the rumors pointed out that the presentation of iOS 17 would be one of the most decaf of the entire WWDC, because Apple would focus its efforts on correct all the problems that the previous version had given it and improve system stability and optimization.
As a consequence of this priority objective, the novelties have been very few, but the problem is that many of them do not provide added value to the userand that they are functions that can go in a minor update and not as an official presentation of one of the most important operating systems of Apple.
What has been missing from iOS 17?
The best way to analyze that iOS 17 has been a very “no more” update is that, we only highlight two functions that can add value to your iPhone. Specifically, we refer to the function standby and the Diary appand that the latter is an improvement of the resources that the photo app itself generated automatically.
The rest of the features, such as stickers, proofreading aids, and a new animation for calls, are fine, but they’re not great either. It is true that the pro vision They were going to take over the entire event, but users who are not going to buy this product want to enjoy other news. Therefore, from the writing team of La Manzana Mordida we are going to highlight some novelties that would make this new generation of iOS 17 a great update.
- Split screen: There were strong rumors that the iPhone screen could be divided into two different sections in the same way that occurs in the iPad, especially with the presence of two large models such as the Plus and Pro Max versions.
- New icons: It was rumored that Apple wanted to give the iPhone icons a nice makeover, since we’ve had a similar design since iOS 7. 10 years later, it’s about time Apple gave iOS a makeover like it did with macOS Big Sur.
- Siri: Apple’s virtual assistant is several steps behind direct competition, so Siri was expected to take a leap forward both in features and in the inclusion of artificial intelligence. However, it seems that Apple continues to mature this technology, developing its own path.
- Third-party app store: Apple seems to be working on a third-party store alternative to the App Store, a third-party store that breaks with the “monopoly” and that Apple will be forced to implement by obligation to avoid abusive practices denounced by developers.
