A week after releasing iOS 17.6 beta 4, Apple is nearing its official release with an RC version now available. Unfortunately, this is one of the less exciting updates for the iOS 17 cycle, mainly because all supported iPhones will get iOS 18, which is set to be released later this fall.
For now, attention is turning to the imminent release of Apple Intelligence. Expected to be available in beta for iPhone 15 Pro, Apple is adding several AI features for its devices, including:

Writing Tools: Users can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps;

iOS 18 release date: When to expect the public launch

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced it would release iOS 18 to the general public this fall, and the update would bring new features, like customizable home screen and upgrades to Messages, to your iPhone. But the tech giant brought a feature to your iPhone that could make your phone calls sound much better when it released iOS 16.4 more than a year ago.

Apple's Hidden iOS Trick to Make Your iPhone Calls Much Clearer

As the iOS 18 beta continues, Apple's still investing time into fixing up iOS 17. Compared to iOS 17.4 and iOS 17.5, which both had over 30 new features and changes, iOS 17.6 is a relatively small software update for iPhone. But there are still some important things to know about.

iOS 17.6 Has 12 New Features and Changes for iPhone You Need to Know About

Apple announced significant updates for the iPhone with iOS 18 during last month's WWDC event. In addition to a customizable home screen, Control Center, and lock screen, iOS 18 will give users a Photos app overhaul, new Messages enhancements, a new Passwords app, and many artificial intelligence (AI) updates under Apple Intelligence to enhance app functionality.

Last weekend, one of our nation's worst fears was realized in this divisive political climate as shots were fired at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In the hours and days following the incident, the story unfolded, identifying 20-year-old Thomas Crooks as the shooter.

As the story developed, it was learned that multiple law enforcement officers had been briefed that Crooks was seen on the roof outside the rally's security zone. The New York Post reported that Crooks was even identified as a person of interest an hour before the shooting took place.
