On the first day of WWDC, developers typically get access to the first iOS beta release. This year’s WWDC event is set for June 2023 at Apple Park, and it appears likely that Apple will announce the release of iOS 17 Beta to developers at this event. What Can We Expect From the iOS 17 Beta?Īpple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is where they typically announce new software updates and beta releases, including iOS 17 Beta.Of course, we'll need to wait and see for certain if this change does come to pass. That means no iPhone prior to the iPhone 11 series would work nor would any Apple Watch before the Apple Watch 6.īad luck if you're an iPhone SE or Apple Watch SE user as neither of these models boast the U1 chip.
The result of dropping NFC would mean only Apple devices with the U1 chip would be able to take advantage of the feature once iOS 16.4 is installed. And it's better from a security standpoint too. It can better gauge the distance between iPhone and car. If Apple were to implement this change, the reasoning is pretty simple: UWB is a newer and more accurate technology than NFC. According to 9to5Mac, these drivers may lose access to the feature and instead be shown the error message: “car is not compatible with this iPhone/Apple Watch model.” That could pose a problem for those with cars that are NFC-only compatible. However, code spotted in iOS 16.4 by 9to5Mac (opens in new tab) during the beta process seemd to suggest Apple could drop support for NFC in Car Key going forward. Since the feature was introduced in 2020, it has relied on NFC (near-field communication) and Apple's own UWB (Ultra Wideband) to bridge the connection with the vehicle.

They can quickly understand how recently a new episode was published, and identify “early access” subscriber episodes that are made available to them as part of their subscription. Listeners can see how many unplayed episodes are available for them at the top of each show page and from the Recently Updated section of Library.
What’s more, the episode dashboard has been made clearer. Up Next (and Recently Played) will also be available to view when you’re using Podcasts with CarPlay. Episodes saved to your library will already be added to the queue, but you’ll be able to touch and hold a show’s artwork to remove it. Up Next is also being given extra functionality. Listeners will be able to browse the channel and discover new shows on iPhone, iPad or Mac. This means a provider can have all their podcast offerings in one place. The divisive Apple Podcasts app gets a bit of an update with iOS 16.4 and will now feature a section devoted to channels.
