iOS 17.5 Beta Version Update: Easier Repair Status Switching and Quartiles Mini-Game Expected
Before the iOS 18 major version update is officially released, iOS continues to improve its functions with small versions. Following the launch of iOS 17.4.1 at the end of March to fix minor errors such as podcast verbatim, currency conversion, Siri, etc., a new update is set to be released in the near future – iOS 17.5. Among the features tested according to the beta version, several major updates were discovered.
One of the most significant updates in iOS 17.5 Beta 4 is the introduction of a repair mode, making it easier to switch to repair status. Previously, when sending an iPhone for repair, users had to turn off the Find My Device function before the phone could be serviced. However, with the new update, users may only need to put the device in repair mode without turning off the search function. This change aims to reduce the risk of unwanted access to the device in case it is stolen, as well as eliminate the waiting period usually required to disable the Find My Device function before repair.
Additionally, Apple News+ is expected to introduce a new feature called Quartiles mini-game, following the success of daily crossword puzzles added last year. The game involves combining parts of words to form complete words, offering a fun and engaging experience for users. Unfortunately, Apple News+ is currently only available in select countries, so users in other regions may have to wait to access the new feature.
Overall, the upcoming iOS 17.5 update promises to bring convenience and entertainment to Apple device users. Stay tuned for more information on the official release date and additional features included in the update.
