iOS 17 development in full swing, but don’t pay attention to this bogus rumor - 9to5Mac

Apple has pushed updates to some of its open-source documentation referencing iOS 17, while the software version is also increasingly popping up in 9to5Mac’s analytics.

On the flip side, there’s a bogus rumor making the rounds that claims to offer details on what’s new in iOS 17…

Meanwhile, 9to5Mac has seen a sharp uptick in iOS 17 usage in our Google Analytics data since the beginning of December, which regularly happens around this time of year.

iOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, iPadOS 17, and tvOS 17 are set to be announced at WWDC in June and released in September and October.

Because of Apple’s focus on the Reality Pro headset and its software, Bloomberg has reported that iOS 17 will feature “fewer major changes than originally planned.” The same will also reportedly apply for iPadOS 17 and macOS 14, which Gurman says is code-named “Sunburst.”

Separately, a bogus iOS 17 rumor (that we won’t even bother linking to) is making the rounds this week.
