Early this morning, IOS17.5RC quasi-official version arrived as scheduled, only a week after the last beta version, IOS17.5 has gone through four beta versions, and the official version is expected to return next week, friends who want to experience the new version early enough can upgrade to this version, because it is the same as the official version next week.
At the same time, Apple has also pushed the quasi-official version of other devices.
- tvOS 17.5 RC (版本号21L569)
- iPadOS 17.5 RC (版本号21F79)
- watchos 10.5 RC (版本号21T575)
- IOS16.7.8 RC (版本号20H343)
- iPadOS 16.7.8 RC (版本号20H343)
It should be noted that if you choose to upgrade to IIS17.5RC, you will not receive the update push for the official version to be pushed next week.
IOS17.5RC IS GENERALLY MAINLY ABOUT PATCHING VULNERABILITIES, AND IT ALSO BRINGS FOUR MAJOR UPDATES TO USERS.
1. Added "Maintenance Mode"
Before the update, when the iPhone needs to be repaired, you need to turn off the "Find My iPhone", you can't check the location of the iPhone during the repair process, and the user can't supervise Apple's repair process.
For specific operations, please open "Find My iPhone", in the device list, select the iPhone that needs to be repaired, and then "Remove Device", the iPhone will automatically turn on the "Repair Mode" in a few days, but you can find its location throughout the process.
It should be noted that it should not be turned on casually, unless it really needs to be repaired, because once it is turned on, it cannot be turned off on a third-party device.
2. Added the function of "Allow Editing Contacts".
Before the update, you could not edit the contacts in the [Limit Communication] in Screen Time, and you could not manually edit the contacts that needed to be limited.
After the update, there is a new "Allow you to edit contacts" setting item on the [Communication Restrictions] settings page, which can be set according to the actual situation.
When you use it for the first time, there is no such setting item on the settings page, so you can open it according to the following method.
Press the path to open the setting item [Settings]/[Screen Time], turn on "Lock Screen Time Settings", and you need to set a password after selection, and you can set it after you set it.
3. Added App sideloading function
After the update, EU users can not only download and install the App through the third-party App store, but also download and install the App on the developer's official website, because this function is not turned on for domestic users, so it is directly skipped here, and it is useless to talk too much.
Fourth, podcast improvements
Before the update, when using the podcast app to play a program, the color of the widget on the desktop will be different from the program cover, and there is no connection between the difference, and the playback interface and widget display are not synchronized.
After the update, the color of the widget can be synchronized with the cover color of the broadcast program, and it will change with the change of the program, which is finally not so abrupt visually.
In addition to the above obvious improvements, there are some very minor changes, which are not verbose here, and it also has some bugs, perhaps it is an isolated case, and not all devices will trigger again.
- The probability of the mobile phone not being able to answer the call, when a call comes in, the screen touch suddenly fails, and it can't be sliding, and there is no solution at present.
- After switching apps in the background, there may be a touch failure in an app, and it can be restored to normal after turning off the screen.
At present, only two bugs have been found, if friends have found other bugs in use, please reply in the comment area to add, thank you!
【Conclusion】IOS17.5 relative to 17.4.1, there is no substantial increase in functions, the stability and performance of the system is not obvious, whether to upgrade, friends decide for themselves!
