      It’s amazing in 17! Noticed first time typing. Especially on the iPad I make substantially less mistakes. It’s a smack in the face change.

      Yes! Sharing of AirTags!

      Finally I won’t get notified a million times that there’s an AirTag in my partner’s bag.

    The first couple betas had super speedy spotlight searching. This current beta has a basically broken spotlight. I’m hoping by the time 17 is released that spotlight is super speedy again. It’s been really slow for me on 16

    The battery life. I heard it was miles better than 16. Also, allegedly, keyboard autocorrect was fixed. Allegedly.

      I’m still not 100% sure how this works, but I’m excited for it with my wife in long car rides.

      I assume this only works with Apple Music, right? Been considering switching from Spotify for a few months now, but so far there’s not really anything that would justify the switch.

        Unfortunately yes—anyone in your car can scan a QR code and help add to your queue, but it only shows up when using Apple Music

    Video voicemail when using FaceTime. I don’t use FaceTime often, but this has seemed like a no brainer enhancement to FaceTime for awhile.

    Opening up the browsers to allow ones that don’t run webkit would be nice.

    I rather miss being able to use Firefox and its plugins on mobile.

    I never answer my phone so having voicemails automatically type out will be a great addition for me!

    Wife will be happy. Mother will be happy.

        From what I understand the “grid” where you can place app windows has been greatly increased, so it’s almost like you can place the apps where ever instead of it choosing the worst places on its own.

          It’s nowhere near a desktop OS but it is a nice improvement. I definitely hate using it less since the betas.

            I use my iPad for about 90% of my computing needs at this point, so I’m eager for the extra functionality when I have it extended out on an external display.

    Better voice to text. I’ve been acting like a boomer a lot more recently by dictating things into text fields and judging from the accuracy of the LLM models like whisper, I could seriously see myself using voice to text for everything that doesn’t need to be spelled out.
