The new iOS 17.3 update from Apple is currently in beta phase, as the company released the RC version last week. iOS 17.3 will focus on fixing some hidden bugs and introducing a new device protection system after theft for the iPhone. It’s worth noting that the update will not be as extensive as iOS 17.2, as it brought many new features. This means there will be fewer beta versions of the operating system.
If you’re experiencing issues and eagerly awaiting the release of iOS 17.3, you can expect the update to be available on Tuesday, January 22nd. Previously, we thought iOS 17.3 would be released for all compatible iPhone models by the end of January. However, if the update is not ready and Apple’s software teams encounter problems, the company may need another week to release the update.
Since the release of the RC version last week, there is a high chance that the update will be available on January 22nd or 23rd. Potentially, there might be only one release for the RC version. If the company decides to introduce a second release for the RC version of iOS 17.3, the final version will be released on January 29th. However, it is doubtful whether Apple will release iOS 17.3 in the same week as the public release of VisionOS and Vision Pro on February 2nd.
VisionOS by Apple is an entirely new operating system that the company will initially release on its own. This means that the company may deem it appropriate to release the rest of the updates before it. However, beta versions of VisionOS may be combined with iOS 17, watchOS 10, macOS 14, and tvOS 17. The company is potentially continuing its beta testing with VisionOS to prepare the system for the final release. We expect iOS 17.3 to be released within two or three days.
