Following the release of iOS/iPadOS 17.5 Developer Preview Beta2 on the 17th of this month, Apple today pushed the iOS/iPadOS 17.5 Developer Preview Beta3 update to iPhone and iPad users!
The updated version number is 21F5063f, and according to the document, this update does not add any new features, but judging from the release notes, this time Apple has added a new installation method for embedded SIM cards, and provided a new installation link, which may have card data with an eSIM QR code to install on a new iPhone. However, it should be noted here that this link only works for iOS 17.4 and above.
Highlights of this update:
As expected, the iOS 17.5 Developer Preview Beta Update brings a long-awaited and significant change to EU users: downloading apps directly from the developer's website.
However, there are a few specific conditions that developers who want to make their apps available for download through their websites need to meet certain criteria:
- First, developers need to be a member of Apple's Developer Program for at least two consecutive years and have at least one million first-time installs in the EU in the past year.
- The second is to go through Apple's notarization process and publish a transparent data collection policy. For eligible developers, Apple will provide APIs to help them make app downloads available through websites.
- Apps downloaded through the developer's website can also be backed up, restored, updated, and more, and the experience is basically the same as downloading from the App Store.
At the bottom of the battery page, the previous [Charging Optimization] option is finally no longer a foreign tourist, it has learned to speak Chinese, which is a big boon for those of us who are not very good at English!
The horizontal screen battery BUG is still there
In the previous version, when playing landscape video, the battery level displayed in the upper right corner is still inconsistent with the battery displayed in the notification center, and it seems that it will be carried over to iOS 18.
There are also some netizens who found that they couldn't install the uninstalled system native App, but my 15PM didn't find this problem for the time being, and it may be in other models that this situation exists, which is an exception.
Update recommendations
- If you're already an iOS 17.5 beta user, you can choose to upgrade.
- If you're not running the iOS 17.5 beta, then I personally don't recommend you to upgrade and wait for the final test data to come out before making a decision, after all, it's easy to upgrade, but it's hard to downgrade.
Well, that's all for today's sharing, I hope it will help you. Remember to follow us for more secrets of iPhone!
