iOS 17 allows those who wish to download geographic maps to view them offline. We already knew that. But something new has just been seen with the beta version currently being tested. We can thus see that Apple Maps automatically offers you to download the content, when you search for a route whose destination is located in an area poorly covered by the mobile network. Clever!
It is apparently just at the bottom of the screen that the option would appear, optional for the user. To take advantage of this, you will of course need to have sufficient memory on your iPhone. Which is not given to everyone, because remember that even the most recent high-end models are limited to 128 GB for their basic version.What could change with their successors.

The iPhone, your ally even in the forest
This new tip clearly presents itself as a major security asset for profiles such as hikers or explorers. A value proposition which is, of course, not without echoes of satellite connectivity. Available on all four different iPhone 14 models, this solution allows you to call for help even if the traditional mobile network is not available.
The functionality has already proven itself,by saving the lives of several people internationally. Unfortunately, Apple has clarified that this tool will become chargeable shortly. Other brands offer devices connected via satellite, notably Garmin.
With this, we know that Apple Watches can, thanks to their gyroscope and accelerometer, detect falls. And this time, there is no need to invest in anything extra to be eligible: the three versions of the connected watch available today are all natively eligible.
iOS 17: release date
The official release date of iOS 17 in final version has not been precisely disclosed by Apple. However, we know that users will be entitled to it in the fall, at least that is what the developer assures. This should then deploy the operating system at the same time on hundreds of millions of iPhones across the globe, regardless of the country.
