With Apple announcing the date for WWDC 2023, the hype around iOS 17 is building up. Previous reports had revealed that iOS 17 would only bring about minor changes and not any substantial features. But recently, Apple analyst Mark Gurman stated that the iOS 17 update will bring some ‘nice to have' features. In his Power On newsletter, Gurman revealed that Apple originally intended iOS 17 to be a ‘tuneup release'. But Apple has now changed its strategy regarding the iOS 17 update, which has been codenamed Dawn, and it will now arrive with several new features.

9to5Mac recently conducted a poll where it asked users which iOS 17 features they would want the most. With over 7000 votes, the results of the poll have made the wishes of iPhone users clear.

According to the poll, the most requested feature was a complete redesign of iOS with 27.79% votes. Users wished that Apple would completely overhaul iOS 17 instead of just minor changes.

With AI and AI models like ChatGPT and Google Bard making the headlines these days, naturally the second most requested feature was Siri and AI improvements. 25.69% of the voters wanted Apple to introduce AI and deliver improvements to Siri with iOS 17.

13.96% of the voters wanted more lock screen customizations. Apple introduced lock screen customizations last year along with the ability to add widgets.
