  • Fewer iPhone owners are upgrading to iOS 17 than for the iOS 16 update

    Like others I waited until after the first or second update to iOS 17.

    I regret that I did and in retrospect I probably should have stayed with 16. 

    I have had several issues with 17/17.3 that the updates to 17 resolved. However there is one that still has me sorry that I upgraded.

    Upgrading to 17 resulted in the loss of audible (tones) notifications for messages. This included one that I had been using since 2009! On a variety of occasions I would get the audible for one message but not for any others. Going to settings, turning off notifications for messages, shutting down the phone then restarting and turning message notifications back on resulted in the same behavior. 

    Two sessions with Apple support—one via text the other via phone—have not found a solution. Neither has a visit to the Genius Bar in the nearest Apple Store (200 mile round trip).

    The new features of 17.3 and its unintended consequences (being charitable and keeping it clean) doesn’t encourage me towards further upgrades in the near future. Sorry I can’t go back to 16!!!
