Apple released iOS 16 a few months ago, but the excitement for iOS 17 has already begun among users. Industry analysts are speculating on iOS 17’s new features, compatible devices, and its release date and time.
It goes without saying that iOS 17 will be released for all users in 2023, but what will be the exact date or time? In this article, I am going to discuss the expected release date and time of iOS 17.
iOS 17 Beta Release Date & Download
Traditionally, Apple will host the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2023. The exact date of the event is not disclosed, but it is likely to be the first week of the month.
At WWDC in June 2023, Apple will announce iOS 17, its features, compatible devices, and all other key information about the update.
Apple will release the IOS 17 beta for developers on the same day as the announcement of the event or the following day. In my opinion, WWDC 2023 will start on June 5, 2023, and the iOS 17 beta will be released on June 6 or June 7, 2023, for iOS 17-supported devices.
This has been the pattern for previous iOS releases, and it is expected that the same will be true for iOS 17.
These are just speculations, as Apple can make changes to its schedule. Once the iOS 17 developer beta is released, users can download it after signing up for the developer account.
iOS 17 Release Date and Time in 2023
Apple announces its upcoming iOS update in June and releases the official version for the public in September, after the iPhone launch event.
So, if we see the iOS 16 and iOS 15 patterns, Apple will release iOS 17 in September 2023. We can expect it in the third week of September 2023.
In terms of features, there are many rumors and speculations about what iOS 17 will bring. Some of the expected features include dual apps, improved lock screen widget support, split screen, and a redesigned iMessage app.
These features could have a big effect on the iOS ecosystem and on how people use their devices.
Summary
Even though there are still a lot of questions and doubts about when and where iOS 17 will be released, it is likely that the beta version will be released in June 2023 at the WWDC event and that all users will be able to get it in September 2023.
