Those who installed it early have updated with the latest version every few weeks since then, encountering new bugs and features with every install.

Apple pushing iOS 17, iPad OS 17, and Watch OS 10 to users

On September 18, 2023, Apple began pushing updates for iPhone, iPad, and watches. All three software versions offer a variety of new features for users to enjoy.

On the iOS and iPad side of things, users will get the ability to view Apple Maps Offline for the first time. There’s a massive update to Widgets too, as iOS 17 allows users to interact with them directly instead of going into the app to make changes.

This allows for easier access to smart home controls, like letting you turn off the living room light without opening an app. For more features, check out our roundup.

For Watch OS 10, there is the addition of Cycling under the workouts and a new widget stack alongside a few upgraded watch faces.
