Hello everyone,

I know that iOS 17 has came out in the past couple of days, but I’m really curious about downloading a new software. Please, can you provide any suggestions on if I should upgrade to iOS 17 or not? Here are some things I would like to know:

1. How is the performance of voiceover? Is it glitchy, or does it run smoothly?

2. Are there any specific bugs in VoiceOver I should avoid?

3. Should I download iOS 17 or wait?

Any and every feedback will be helpful in deciding whether if I should download iOS 17 or not. I just don’t want to download it on my main device if it’s really glitchy and doesn’t help me at all.

Thanks

I would say wait on this one. It doesn't fix or add enough to make the hassle worth it and there are some really nasty bugs that are showing up.

If your phone is working, great with no bugs, there’s nothing urgent or exciting in the new version of iOS in that case, the most important thing would be to keep the stability. If you are having any problematic bugs, in iOS 16 though it might be worth getting one of the new, relatively minor bugs in order to get rid of some much worse ones. so in that case I would update. It’s all about how stable and happy you are with your phone. it’s all about gaining and losing do you potentially gain more than you lose for me, it was definitely worth it.

But honestly there's not much to see here. Sounds have changed for notifications but apart from that, there's nothing new.

I'd update for the sake of it but don't expect anything.
