In a significant strategy shift, iOS 17 will incorporate the “most desired features” from iPhone lovers.

According to a recent report by Bloomberg, Apple may have changed its plans for iOS 17. Initially, the company was focused on improving performance and fixing bugs rather than adding new features. However, the new report suggests that Apple has changed its mind and is now planning to include several new features in iOS 17, making it one of the most exciting releases in years.

Gurman mentions that these new features are among the most requested by iPhone users, although he doesn’t reveal what they are. It is speculated that the features could include multiple users, custom icons, multiple timers, multitasking, and separate volume controls for media and calls, among others. Gurman suggests that these features will be smaller in scale, as iOS 17 lacks a major improvement like last year’s revamped lock screen.

While Apple has not yet announced the official release dates, it is expected to unveil the next version of iOS at the WWDC keynote in June, with the full release coming this fall. It is unclear whether iPadOS 17 and macOS 14, which will also be announced at WWDC, will follow the same strategy as iOS 17. Overall, this new report has made the wait for iOS 17 much more exciting for iPhone users.
