Sorry for the dumb question. So in the USA we’re not going to get alternative app stores?

Correct

Fairly certain they pushed out another RC yesterday though. Seems odd they pushed it out the next day when they had to update the RC.

Nope, they did for the other OSs but not iOS

It just showed up on my iPhone.

Seeing your avatar made me think…

No update from the RC? I have been having some SYSTEM MEMORY RESETS on the RC. This causes random reboots.

Seems like they rushed this out. Typical.

UPDATE: This build is newer than the RC. Let's see if the above is fixed.

We won't get alternative app stores until Congress starts threatening Tim Cook.

I had the latest beta, and this version is still letting me download it. 🤔

Here in the uk we also got about app changes in changelog tho it doesn’t apply to us lol

Same.

Build 21E219

I use Overcast as my primary podcast app, but I now use Apple Podcasts for listening to more technically detailed podcasts. The transcription feature works well and very useful.

My other favorite changes:

• Settings | Face ID & Passcode | Stolen Device Protection | Require Security Delay -> Always
• Music recognition, if I can ever find where that is on a crowded Home screen
• Settings | Phone | Call Blocking & Identification | Business Call Identification | Business Connect ID -> On

This update switches the 24 hr clock format to 12 hrs.
I had to flip the switch back to 24 on iPhone/iPad.

Edit:
I stand corrected. This final release fixed the 24 hr/12 hr bug present in RC.

Wow, so they had time to squeeze in the new emoji! They usually don't pay enough attention to that.

 

[Reeneman]

I had the RC installed but got an update anyway

Slightly newer build than RC

 

[Hails09]

Just showed up for me, Im on RC

Same as well

 

[whadzinaname]

Carrier update for T-Mobile as well. 58.1.

 

[Octavius8]

No Bluetooth fix for support “legacy” devices?.

 

[swiftapplefan]

Baby le the games begin

I am still shocked that the App Store and Browser changes are iOS only with no changes for the iPadOS. This makes those changes not that great for folks like me who just prefer having all the same apps on all devices.

 

[TigerNike23]

No ipsw file available yet for those of us who do full iOS updates via PC/Mac

 

[Kaptajn Haddock]

Safari seems snappier now.

 

[Scottsoapbox]

I don’t see how all these changes on a forced deadline do not introduce a lot of bugs.

I’ll keep 17.3.1 until at least 17.4.2.

Carrier update for T-Mobile as well. 58.1.

Carrier update for Verizon as well
