Hi Siegard 

In Belgium I am hearing complaints of blind beta testers that randomly edit 
fields toe dit tekst are behaving extremely sluggish.

Onderwerp: RE: IOS 17, is it worth it?

Caroline, you have to realize that the first public beta was only just released 
a few days ago. This is the third beta since iOS 17 was released and between 
now and mid September, when iOS 17 will be officially released, there will be 
at least another 5 or 6 more beta releases with fixes.
My sighted wife accidently installed it on her iPhone 13 Pro since she didn't 
realize that she was installing a very early beta version so I decided to also 
install it in case she ran into issues and at least I could hopefully help her 
then. The main issue I experience right now is that particularly in the Weather 
Office app which I use here in Canada, Voiceover sometimes goes silent as if 
you were to do a 3-finger double tap, i.e. you still hear the clicks and tones 
when you swipe, but there is no speech. I then have to turn Voiceover off and 
back on with a triple press of the side button. Apart from that everything is 
actually amazingly stable and I have a feeling this will be a decent initial 
release.
In fact, the issue where if you use a Siri voice for Voiceover you sometimes 
get this little hickup where it seems Voiceover restarts and focus goes to the 
top of the screen seems to be gone. This is where if you have screen curtain 
turned on you get a sort of glitch and then Voiceover says "screen curtain on" 
as if it was restarting.

If I keep hearing this sort of thing about 17, I'll just skip it and wait for 
17.1.

I agree if you aren’t going to report things don’t join the beta.

I would definitely move up to 17 when it comes out, and I’d always say IOS 
updates are worth the upgrade, including for VO users. As Sieghard says, 
whether you want to try a beta or not is more dependent on whether you want to 
participate in the beta process than getting access to any new features. In 
other words, I don’t think you should join a beta just to get fixes or new 
features. You should only do it if you want to be part of the testing process 
for these features.

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.

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.
