Apple releases iOS 17 and iPad 17
Apple is releasing the iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 operating systems simultaneously at an event titled "Wonderlust" on September 18.
The launch seems to be slightly different when compared to previous years.
That's because the technology giant from Cupertino, the United States always releases Apple's operating system for the iPhone and iPad gradually.

Last year, iOS 16 was released first for the iPhone on September 12. While iPadOS 16 arrives on October 24, 2022, or almost a month after iOS 16 launched. Apple claims the launch time difference is due to issues related to Stage Manager.
Based on the latest leak from Apple analyst Mark Gurman, iOS 17 will feature a Standby mode, new AirDrop capabilities, interactive widgets, a journal app, and other improvements.
iPadOS 17 will come with a customized lock screen, Safari profile, Health app, and more.
