There’s no single must-have feature in Apple’s latest iPhone OS update, but a lot of little improvements make it worth getting excited about.

For me there is one must have. I’d like to be able to sideload some apps without the weekly refresh. Can any beta testers say if this is a thing as they said may be?
Is Altstore working on Sonoma or iPadOS? I see it is in iOS 17, but I’d like not to be limited to one device.
I’m usually down to update right away, but my add free YouTube is pretty key to my sanity at the moment.
There’s no third party app store support in iOS 17 or iPadOS. I wouldn’t expect something like the altstore to get better until third party stores are officially supported.
Altstore works fine on iPadOS17, just needed to reinstall Altstore.
What’s altstore? I got an iPhone yesterday, first once since my iPhone X, kinda out the loop
It’s currently the best way to sideload content. You simply download the program to a computer which acts as a server that refreshes your apps. You have to refresh once a week. Sidestore is a fork that spoofs a macbook pro and allows you to completely untether from a server. You still have to refresh once a week.
StandBy is what I’m most excited about. Having a little info station next to my bed which I can quickly glance at when I wake up or before I go to sleep sounds great.
I’m loving it. I just wish I could leave it on without having iPhone 14. Mine stays on for less than a minute before timing out.
Even plugged in?
Yeah, Standby comes on when I have it plugged in and horizontal. It only shows for about 20 seconds for me on iPhone 12 before it fades out to a black screen. I can wave my hand for it to come back shortly for another 20 seconds or so. I’d like it as a bedside clock more if it stayed on longer.
From what I’ve read, there’s an Always On function in settings for iPhone 14 that doesn’t seem to be available for older phones
Oh damn. That sucks. I only have an XR. Oh well. Still not enough of a reason for me to upgrade.
Been on the dev beta since day 1. Standby mode at night time is (edit ) awesome. It’s bright when you first put it on the charger but then dims not long after then goes dark. Then it detects motion to turn on dimly. So you can wake up and wave your hand near ish your phone and it turns on briefly so you can check the time. Way better than fumbling for my watch.
Anyone running the public beta? How is it? I’ve heard it’s fairly stable. Interested to hear more feedback. Thanks.
Only bug I get is the keyboard sometimes disappearing. Leaving the app and coming back fixes it.
Anyone got the grocery list working for them? I can’t find out how. First tried in my native language, then tried in English, to no avail.
you gotta create new list and in the creation options choose that it’s grocery. works for me in english
