These iOS 17 Features Won't Be Available at Launch

Apple is expected to release iOS 17 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-17/) in mid to late September as a free software update for the iPhone XS and newer. The update includes a wide range of new features, but not all of them will be available right away, according to Apple's website (https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-17-preview/).

Below, we have listed three features that Apple says are "coming later this year" as part of a future iOS 17 version, such as iOS 17.1 or iOS 17.2. Apple has already been testing iOS 17.1 internally for several weeks, according to our MacRumors analytics logs, and the update is likely to be released in late October based on precedent.



<h2>Journal App</h2>

An all-new Journal app will allow iPhone users to reflect on their day and memories, complete with text, photos, music, audio recordings, and more. The app will provide personalized suggestions based on recent on-device activity.

If you send content like an image or video to another user via AirDrop, the transfer will be able to continue over an internet connection if you leave AirDrop range, so long as both you and the recipient are signed in to an iCloud account.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: iOS 17 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-17/), iPadOS 17 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipados-17/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forums: iOS 17 (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-17.241), iPadOS 17 (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipados-17.242)</div>
