Apple has improved the battery information in iOS with iOS 17.1.
In the latest beta, there is more information in the battery menu settings than before. For example, it lists how often the battery has already been charged.
Currently only on the iPhone 15
However, only the iPhone 15 provides this data. It is currently unknown whether Apple plans to make this information visible on older devices.
New loading inhibitors are also only available to a limited extent
The Charging Optimization feature also only works on the latest devices. The feature disables charging iPhones to more than 80 percent battery level.
…and this is what else is new in Beta 2 of iOS 17.1
In Apple Music It is possible to set favorites. These are then used by the algorithm to make better suggestions for broadcasters in the future. And also AirDrop was improved.
From now on, AirDrop transfers can also be carried out via mobile phone providers. And that too NameDrop-Feature that allows contact information to be shared between devices is now available.
Interestingly, the new ringtones that Apple released in iOS 17 have disappeared in iOS 17.1. They will probably appear again in the next beta. What is still not there is the new one journal-Digital diary app. iOS 17.1 supports the N64 Switch controller for games and has a new dynamic Flashlightsicon received. Finally, there are other little things:
- Wallpapers can now be expanded to fit the screen width if they don’t fit
- The Wallet app now supports bank accounts with balances in the UK
