One thing you have to remember is that if you put iOS 17 public beta or any early public beta on your primary phone that you have to be willing to expect problems. This could be small stuff, but it could also mean that certain apps you use crash and are unusable until the developer updates them or something in iOS 17 is changed. It May mean more battery drain and this is certainly something I have read about in connection with iOS 17. Another issue some people seem to experience is that the Messages app is very sluggish. Also, ifyou do go ahead you should be willing and able to send feedback to Apple when you run into an issue so they can look into it and if you feel it concerns a particular app you should also contact the developer of the app to let them know. One thing I heard about for Voiceover users is that drag and drop currently does not work; this seems to have been fine in the first developer betas and may possibly have only been introduced in this first public beta release although once again, it may not be an issue for all users.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Friday, July 14, 2023 7:12 AM To: 'cwc' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: IOS 17, is it worth it? Hi all, I read an article by Kim Komando about the public beta being out now. She obviously didn't talk about any accessibility aspects of 17. I am just wondering if 17 is worth the upgrade or not for VO users. I haven't used betas in IOS before but was kind of toying with the idea this go round. Have any of you tried it yet? Is there anything in 17 worth our serious consideration? Thanks. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN) USA -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
