iOS 17.2 et son cousin sur iPad sont arrivés en Release Candidate (build 21C62), c'est-à-dire les probables versions finales. Si Apple suit le même calendrier que l'an dernier, le lancement pour le grand public interviendra la semaine prochaine. Au fil de leur développement, plusieurs modifications ont été remarquées et on dispose aussi d'une toute nouvelle app de journal intime.
Il y a du changement dans les réglages de son et de vibrations ; quelques options en plus dans Musique et FaceTime ; de nouveaux filtres pour les contenus sensibles ; on profite d'un renforcement de la sécurité des échanges dans Messages et des positions en plus pour les Memojis. Enfin on dispose d'une app supplémentaire avec Journal, dans laquelle on consigne ses réflexions sur des événements du quotidien.
