This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The no.1 thing I’m looking forward to is improved autocorrect.
Yeah it used to be terrible. Now it’s somewhat usable (used it in the beta for a while). It’s still bad if you type in multiple languages though.
Autocorrect and swipe to type aren’t great in other languages, my phone also has a tendency to switch keyboards randomly so I’ll start typing a message to someone whom I’ve never spoken anything but English to and every word is redlined wrong
Should also allow the use of iPads as an external monitor for game consoles and the like. I’ve tried it out in beta and it seems to work like a charm so far.
Only info I can find says no lightning iPads :(
How do you do this?
This should cover you, keep in mind it seems it is only for usb-c only iPads. It also requires a dongle or two and may not be the cleanest looking of setups. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/05/how-to-use-your-ipad-as-a-game-console-display-video/
Yo what? Does the controller stay paired to the console or do you have to pair it to the iPad?
I hate the idea of having to re-pair controllers.
Console
Oh man I’m getting an iPad just so I can sit on the couch and play video games while my kids watch cartoons.
I’m looking forward to updating. My one concern is is SideStore will still work with iOS 17. I need my Delta Emulator.
Apple will need to allow sideloading natively to comply with EU law… so any day now you should be able to sideload any app directly
I am so waiting for this but there has been no news on that front. Also I’m in the US, but I home they make it available worldwide.
Altjit doesn't work on iOS 17 right now. So you might want to wait.
Looks like there’s a workaround… https://faq.altstore.io/how-to-use-altstore/altjit
Actually it’s still broken apparently.
Are you an alt or a bot?
Pshh, could a bot go through your comment history and make fun of your thick bathroom walls?
looks like there's another comment with the same text. If that's your other account and you want to keep it private, you might want to look into that
What if you’re my other alt account and I’m arguing with myself?
Installed all the OS’s RC (release candidates) today; all are very smooth but watchOS 10 (on an 1st generation Apple Watch SE).
I haven’t noticed anything odd with iOS 17, yet.
This StandBy feature sounds like a fantastic way to ensure phones are always in AFU mode and easier to compromise
The devices are still locked. It’s fine.
I wish CitizenLab would revisit this topic (or visit it at all, ot sure if they have) about BFU vs AFU mode now. Unless content has CompleteProtection, i believe certain important things can be accessed regardless or lock status if you've at least unlocked from boot once...
I know lockdown mode is supposed to prevent unauthorized usn accessories from connecting but the devil is always in the implementation and I'm not super certain Apple hasn't fudged the details in some small nuanced but very real way as some people will likely come to find out. A little bit conjecturey but there's reason to be skeptical.
Huh, you have a valid point. I haven’t tried it yet, but it probably doesn’t access/unencrypt too much more than the regular lock screen, given thats its just a glorified alarm clock with notifications. Ironically, some of the most private stuff (photos, notes) don’t have CompleteProtection, so that’s a current gaping vulnerability. And yes, if the FBI really wants your data, there are RAM reading tools for iPhone.
Here is a stackexchange thread about AFU/DFU/CP if you didn’t know.
I think the main important thing is to ensure USB accessories are disabled and also to allow for automation actions that don't require user confirmation like shutdown and reboot that can be triggered by actions like connecting a charging cord
Yeah, unfortunately iPhones don’t have a option to ask each time a USB cable is plugged in (has to unlock first), which is a feature I love in macOS. You can turn on a feature disabling USB Data after an hour of not unlocking on iOS though, which I do.
I just wanna recognize your comment. I can't quite parse it yet but I will
