If things seem all clear a week after the update becomes available, then upgrade with confidence. My advice if you're worried about battery drain is to wait to update iOS 17 - though only long enough to see if there are persistent complaints about battery drain or any other bugs. Whether that's because of the iOS 17 update itself or because I'm spending more time on my phone to test and write about iOS 17, I couldn't say. In my testing on an iPhone 12, I've usually been able to get through the day without needing to do a quick recharge, though there have been some times when I get the Low Battery warning more frequently than usual. On the bright side, Apple is usually pretty quick to respond to such issues, often releasing a patch within a week or so to address that problem.Īs for iOS 17, it's difficult to say if the full update will trigger the usual round of battery concerns. It's true that battery drain complaints usually pick up around the same time that a major iOS update drops. I'm not worried about bugs, but I don't care for a drop in battery life or anything else that might disrupt my regular iPhone use (Quitting out of the app and relaunching Messages usually fixes this issue.) Instances of both bugs have gone down with each subsequent iOS 17 beta update. Another bug that's popped up for me at least has been the on-screen keyboard going missing on occasion in the Messages app. The most persistent problem I've run into is that some widgets on my home screen don't always work as expected - widgets for Weather and Fitness sometimes don't include information like the current temperature or my current move data. It helps that the bugs I've run into so far have not been of the show-stopping variety. Nevertheless, if you're the sort who's not put off by the unpredictable nature of early software releases, feel free to download the iOS 17 release the moment it becomes available. If that's your attitude, I'm wondering why you haven't already install the iOS 17 public beta. I am a Viking who dines on danger and laughs at the unknown I fear no software bugs and need to be an early adopter. Your new iPhone will ship with iOS 17 on board no matter which iPhone 15 model you wind up buying. Like the person who already upgraded to the iOS 17 beta, you've already made your choice. That means any fixes will get to you first as will features that won't ship until later iOS 17 updates like the new Journal app. Even better, they'll continue to arrive as betas before the general public downloads them. Here's some good news, assuming your experience with the new software has been as positive as my iOS 17 beta hands-on time: If you're running the iOS 17 beta, you've already upgraded.Īpple is going to keep sending updates your way, even after the full version of iOS 17 ships to the general public. I am already running the iOS 17 public beta Regardless of when the iOS 17 update arrives, here's a look at whether or not you should update to the initial release based on your personality type. Who should update to iOS 17 and who should wait If we had to guess, we'd circle the week of September 18, with the iOS 17 update likely becoming available in the early part of the week. That would place the release sometime between the end of the Apple event on September event and the likely iPhone 15 ship date on September 22. And since Apple likely doesn't want a bunch of iOS upgraders hitting its servers at the same time people are trying to set up their new iPhones, you'd expect the iOS 17 update to arrive just ahead of the iPhone 15 ship date. Based on Apple's usual time frame for releasing products after their launch event, we anticipate that the new phones will start shipping on September 22.īecause the iPhone 15 will ship with iOS 17 pre-installed, you'd imagine that the iOS 17 release would be timed to coincide with the arrival of the new phones. We expect the Apple September event to feature the debut of the iPhone 15 models, with Apple also announcing when those phones will go on sale. But Apple tipped its hand when it set a September 12 date for its next product launch.
