“With every year comes a new version of iOS and this year will likely be no different,” Chance Miller writes for 9to5Mac.
“In 2017, we should expect iOS 11 to be previewed over the summer with subsequent developer and public betas and a release to the public in the fall,” Miller writes. “It’s also likely that we’ll see a less significant iOS release during the spring with iOS 10.3.”
“One important thing to note is that it’s hard to speculate on Apple software. We don’t as often see leaks concerning iOS, primarily due to the fact that it’s tested entirely inside Apple, whereas hardware is designed by Apple and later prototyped and manufactured by companies abroad,” Miller writes. “But with the hardware leaks from the supply chain, of which there have been plenty, there’s a lot of clues about what to expect from iOS in return.”

MacDailyNews Take: A full-blown Dark Mode, please!
Seriously! The white background is very 1990’s. they should have switched to a dark background and an e-ink look long ago. As soon as they do, everything will look ridiculously dated. You know, though, MDN, you guys could always give it a head start by redesigning your website and app’s asthetics in a similar fashion. Pioneer it, innovate! 🙂 I’d love if MDN’s app were soooo good that it wound up on a “best of iOS design” list someday.
Agreed, MDN… Near-blind user NEEDS dark mode to use iOS. Inverting the screen 500 times a day is tiring.
Hopefully not too many bugs on release.
I would love an app that shocks Tim Cook’s nipples for every time my Mail crashes, every time I can’t find what I am looking for in the app store and every time I hear his meager quivering voice on stage. The man in not full of ideas and most of all lacks the passion. Come on the only thing you can say that has been new to come out of Cupertino are wireless earbuds and a touchbar on the macbook. Where is all that R & D going to? Apple is incapable of walking and chewing gum. They are turning into the company Steve Jobs labled Microsoft as. The sales people have taken over the store. Sad days ahead.
Come on MACDailey just use Night Shift and you can have any color of screen that you want. Bells Palsy left me with dilated eyes. So I have the screen at a nice amber color. It works perfectly
I agree that Apple desperately needs someone with expertise in readability and efficient GUI design. Not only is the gray on white painful to read, and the skinny font absolutely unacceptable for anyone with eyes older than a teenager, now Apple hides so many things that a person has to stop and swipe in all directions to accomplish the simplest tasks. Want to scrub through a podcast? Good luck with that. The microscopic scrubber bar is an exercise in frustration. Want to move the cursor on an iPhone text entry box? Sorry, no easy way to do that, must dink around for 2 minutes attempting to do so while iOS takes horrid guesses selecting entire words and phrases. Need to fill out address forms? Well with all that deep Maps experience, Apple can’t let you just type in a postal code to auto-populate city and province. Oh no, you have to scroll through the whole list to fill out every field. And is TouchID replacing the password? Nope. Apple seems to want to use it only for unlocking the device and Apple Pay, instead of automatic password entry for every single password you have to type a gazillion times a day.
And yet as slow as Apple moves on making iOS more efficient, Apple is even worse on the Mac. Sure would be nice if Apple could innovate the Mac at the same rate it attempts to update iOS. Night Shift is just one example where Apple is inconsistent. Why introduce a great technology and then implement it on only one device?
