![]() ![]() Less obvious is just how many phones Apple plans to release.įor the last three years, it's been four models, with the larger iPhone 14 Plus knocking a mini iPhone out of the lineup in 2022. We can be pretty sure that new phones are coming in the fall. OK, let's turn our attention to the star of the show - this year's iPhone 15 release. Whatever the case, expect more iOS 17 details to trickle out ahead of WWDC 2023. At any rate, that could cause Apple to scale back its iOS17 plans. And Apple's foray into the virtual world may require so many resources, Bloomberg's Gurman claims that it's impacting work on iOS 17. The rumored Apple VR/AR headset figures to be a major focus this year, with rumors pointing to a preview of the device in the spring. There's one possible wrinkle, caused by a product outside of Apple's smartphone business. (Given that widgets have dominated two of the last three major iOS updates, this one might be rooted in reality.) We'd expect enhancements to Dynamic Island as well, particularly if that feature makes its way beyond just the Pro iPhone models. Other rumored changes sound like they're more in the vein of wish lists with many online Apple watchers clamoring for interface improvements, notification enhancements and interactive widgets. According to the report, Apple could have something in place allowing for outside apps by the time iOS 17 rolls around, though one rumor suggests the feature will be trotted out in Europe first. Leaker Majin Bu has suggested the Messages app is due for a revamp, with a new look, a chat rooms feature and additional capabilities that tap into augmented reality.Ī more recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims that Apple may open up the iPhone to third-party app stores, ending its App Store monopoly in response to the Digital Markets Act in the EU. IOS 17 rumors are less pervasive than iPhone 15 rumblings at this point, largely because Apple develops its own software in-house without any loose lips in the hardware supply chain to spill details about unannounced features. This year's event likely takes place in June, with a public beta of iOS 17 to follow. But we'll know about the software update's feature long before then, given Apple's habit of previewing the new version of iOS at its Worldwide Developers Conference. ![]() One thing we're pretty sure will happen is the release of iOS 17 just about the time the iPhone 15 is ready to make its debut. ![]() iOS 17: What's coming to the iPhone in 2023? All we can say is that Kuo's track record is solid enough to put the launch in doubt. (Counterpoint: Maybe their would be more demand if the cheapest iPhone didn't look like a holdover from 2017.) Kuo followed up that report with a more definitive forecast: he says the iPhone SE 4 is cancelled. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple might postpone the iPhone SE 4 - or cancel it altogether - to save on the costs of producing a device when there's just not that much demand for cheap iPhones as of late. IPhone SE 4 renders (Image credit: Jon Prosser/Ian Zelbo)Īdd to that the fact that Google and Samsung are likely to produce new versions of their well-regarded midrange phones, and Apple risks getting shut out of that end of the market if the iPhone SE spends the year on the bench.īut a new rumor claims it just might do that. ![]()
