TechCrunch: Despite claims by some that iOS 6 is less than a stellar update, it seems Apple’s latest release of its mobile operating system is being adopted quickly by users of iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
As Apple has made iOS 17 beta 4 available to registered developers, a couple of iPhone users are observing several exciting modifications.
Apple has rolled out the public beta versions of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10, enabling users with a compatible device to test the most recent features.
17hr in and still no comments??
Here is a comment. I have been a loyal iPhone owner since the first gen iPhone, but Apple dropped the ball with the past 2 releases. Both the 4s and the 5 are not even caught up with the current Android phones that have been on the market for the past year! So, like many other iPhone owners, I will be jumping ship in favor of a more robust, feature rich phone from Samsung (Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy S3 or S4). It infuriates me that all the Apple iSheep are touting how great the iPhone 5 is when it has nothing that hasn't been available with even a better screen for over a year! See ya suckers!
If I was still using the old, well past its sell by date, operating system I would be in a hurry to upgrade asap as well in the hope that I could feel better when around owners of Samsung and Sony premium smartphones which seriously show the i-phone for the fashion accessory it is!
I only feel sorry for the poor souls when they realise that even with the new update they will still feel inadequate leading to more pointless bragging about i-branded features that are either meaningless or the same as something else done better and more openly on android devices.
Personally, I have an Xperia S and loving it
Upgraded the OS the first day, now if I could do something about my newly shortened battery life...
