Apple is expected to unveil iOS 17 at WWDC in June this year, offering a range of enhancements and new features, such as a next-generation CarPlay experience, changes to Siri, support for sideloading and alternate app stores, support for Apple's mixed-reality headset, and more. We talk through some of the areas where we feel Apple could bring meaningful changes and improvements to the iPhone, with particular attention to generative AI, Spotlight, Siri, Shortcuts, notifications, Apple Music, the Health app, Apple Fitness+, and Control Center.

We also discuss some of the latest news, including the rumored "in-air" typing experience on Apple's mixed-reality headset, the two second-generation headset models that seem to be in the pipeline, and the gradual transition to under-display technologies on the iPhone.

Safari need a fullscreen button please 🙏


Apple also needs to consider bringing back "Landscape Mode" on iPhone. Not sure why they decided to get rid of it. I miss this OS layout.

PLEASE GOD PUT THE FLASH ON/OFF/AUTO TOGGLE BACK ON THE TOP LEFT OF CAMERA APP. INSTEAD OF BURYING IT IN THE TRAY. I USE IT ALL THE TIME. PAIN.

It used to be there. Now the flash icon on top left only toggles flash auto/off.

I need the ON option back up there
