Apple’s Innovation iOS 17.2 Brings ‘Pad-Like’ Upgrade


Apple made available the first developer beta of the next iOS 17.2 update. Apple introduced several new features and enhancements in the update at WWDC 2023

The iOS 17.2 beta alludes to the speculated “pad-like” gadget that Apple uses to wirelessly update iPhone software while the phone is still in its original packaging

Employees can use the gadget to update their iPhones to the newest firmware version from Apple without having to first activate the device

[{"selector":"#anim-d997a0be-0957-4c66-9278-f6c260eced78 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a3766de-c987-4382-b4fd-8c652e3b365a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Instead of letting users manually upgrade their iPhones using the Settings app, the firm assumed control of the software update procedure

[{"selector":"#anim-4157794a-83ef-4489-82c9-b2f73d1b3a78 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-abeaa8c5-c9a6-4114-aad4-e793e3a09527","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-139.02439%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be7bfcfd-efea-4b1b-88b0-b7933c395893","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea0ed4aa-f8b3-4e2b-820e-3099a05204ea","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

These frameworks allow an iPhone that is switched off and still sealed in its box to install OTA updates wirelessly But in order for these frameworks to update iPhones wirelessly, they also need a special hardware

[{"selector":"#anim-a194bb5d-39ea-41d6-9062-16749a526b76 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.808563975722041%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8bf2d7fe-4973-4c3f-9c19-1a83db5f03b1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.27472%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d87247c-5229-44d9-818a-ea7bcd4d5330","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6e877f2-2d4c-4989-88d2-5e3a091ea540","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The most recent software update for the iPhone would be installed immediately by the machine Although it’s for Apple employees only, users can’t get it However, users will benefit

[{"selector":"#anim-90538fe9-32ee-4129-a0ab-acc4cd666097 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12340f1c-fffa-4240-ae8f-4a4c4915cff2","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d414e73b-4ed3-4c4b-b95e-4a874b4c200e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In particular, users have attributed the iPhone 15 Pro’s overheating bug on Instagram, the A17 Pro CPU, and the device’s new titanium coating, which has sparked criticism

[{"selector":"#anim-3e1fb28d-65a6-4d14-a64a-386d0587016d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8672215-7dac-46cd-b426-c399cb0b60bc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(126.19926%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60eca07b-9b67-4af4-91f3-afdb62044e69","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a54f7812-16c8-4fc0-bda4-584d7f7facbb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

For Apple Music members, iOS 17.2 includes some new features like collaborative playlists and a brand-new “Favorites” playlist that is created automatically based on the songs you’ve designated as favorites

[{"selector":"#anim-2768f609-99e2-4e44-acae-30a1423e057b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-29.184418619887836%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b1cf83f8-c717-4b90-91fb-a57e11b80208","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c625659-969d-44d8-8260-c4d344331654","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-55737686-a25c-4050-af87-8631d061d973","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Journal app, a new Translate option for the Action Button, and a few new Home Screen widgets are also included in the update

[{"selector":"#anim-2fa462e8-e33e-45a0-9926-02fffef93e43","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]
