In iOS 17, improvements will be made to the Wallet and Find My apps. This was reported in the podcast The MacRumors Show by a well-known insider Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.
The analyst noted that he would compare iOS 17 to iOS 15 in the sense that it will focus on updating the main system applications, and not on revolutionary changes or outstanding new features like widgets in iOS 14 or redesign of the lock screen in iOS 16. In particular, the Cupertino company plans to significantly upgrade the options that are associated with the user's location.
According to him, the ability to download applications not from the App Store will be available only in the European Union in accordance with local legislation. Apple plans to solve this problem in the same way as in the case of the Netherlands, where the company was forced to allow third-party payment systems in dating services. In other countries, the function will be limited.
As for the large-scale update of watchOS 10, he did not hear any information confirming the presence of application folders in it.
Gurman also suggested that macOS 14 would not be a "groundbreaking or significant" update. Instead, in his opinion, Apple will focus on simply enabling support for features that have appeared in other operating systems.
