      The cost of many upgrades this early in the cycle is bugs. Many hold off until we get to the X.1 version.

        There are few bugs that are showstoppers big enough to not have the latest version on my phone. It’d have to be something huge like banking not working or no network connection at all.

        Or if carriers supported it. As far as I know on Australia’s biggest carrier supports it. So you might think “just sign with them?” And the irony is I’m signed with one of their subsidies and use their network and don’t get it…

        I just wish Apple would approach an on-device solution that’s not dependent upon carriers.

    Yes - the new widgets are great. I have yet to encounter any bugs… other than poor battery life for the first few days which is normal whenever they make major changes to the OS.

    Obviously there are bugs, but they’re not widespread. You should be fine.

    No. Too many nice updates and features. Try to roll back to iOS 6. Last time iOS was good.

    Maybe. It entirely depends on if you’ll be affected by the bugs that exist. I’ve personally only encountered one annoying bug. A Safari regression that blocks scrolling on video elements. Some of the new features are pretty cool.

    I only updated because I got a new watch and it forced me to update to iOS 17. Losing MDC/KFD and JIT wasn’t worth it

    MDC/KFD allowed for a lot of cool jailbreak like tweaks like theming with notifications and no shortcuts banner, dynamic island and iPhone X gestures on older devices, up to 10 apps sideloaded on a free developer account ( up from 3 by default) and a lot of other cool things. Here’s a list of most thing you could do with MDC and KFD

    JIT allows for a lot of cool stuff like running Minecraft Java edition, emulating Wii and PS2 games and other stuff. JIT isn’t gone from iOS 17, but Apple changes the way to get it, so people need to reverse engineer it again.

    Can anyone else not swipe left to right to go back in messages? It’s the only app it doesn’t work for me.

    As with any software release, I usually hold back until things are resolved. My apps work, I’m happy that they do, and that’s good enough for me.

      I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for providing very practical advice. I’m a maniac that jumps right into the fist developer beta, and I’ll attest to Apple’s OSs being pretty solid at launch, but the risk for bugs and compatibility issues is higher with a new big release.

      We literally just saw Instagram and Uber overheating everyone’s phones for 2 weeks. It made global news.
