iOS 17 will be released in September with a variety of new features, including upgrades to Messages, major improvements to autocorrect, and more. However, some of the new iOS 17 features that were previewed at WWDC will not be available until later this year.
According to Apple’s website, there are at least three features in iOS 17 that won’t be included when the initial update is released in September. First is the highly-anticipated Journal app. Using the Journal app, Apple says that iPhone users will have a new way to “appreciate life and preserve memories.”
At WWDC, Apple also touted a new feature for AirDrop that will finish sending transfers over the internet [that won;t be available when iOS 17.0 is released]. This means that you can initiate an AirDrop, then move away from the other device, and the transfer will continue. “Content you share over AirDrop will continue to send securely and in full quality over the internet if you leave AirDrop range and both you and your recipient are signed in to iCloud,” Apple explains.
Last but not least, Apple Music is finally set to gain support for collaborative playlists with iOS 17 this year, but the wait’s not over just yet.
MacDailyNews Take: The new Journal app, AirDrop upgrade, and collaborative playlists will be available “later this year,” according to Apple.

Wait, so Nico is CALLING his mom, and not texting?
Very much not believable.
Bah like always tout it on the video, then walk it back when it don’t work right. It’s not ready for primetime till next year. Promises, promises. Hey have you thought about all the other shit(features) they showed over the years that NO ONE EVER USES ANYMORE? Why? Even Apple can’t design customization into their os, because it’s too complicated. Lazy. Apple used to be for the normal people and they would rave about it, now its only for rich people and status. The developers were kick out the door and there is no energy for the ecosystem anymore.
