Mobile app development has become an integral part of businesses in Singapore as it enables companies to reach out to a larger audience and provides convenience to customers. Singapore has seen a rise in mobile app developers in recent years, with many companies offering iOS app development services. With the upcoming release of iOS 17, there is a buzz among mobile app development companies.

iOS 17 is highly anticipated, as previous versions have introduced many sought-after features. The previous iOS 16 update, released in 2022, added a range of improvements including a battery percentage indicator and haptic feedback to the default keyboard. Users also enjoyed lock screen customization options and widgets, as well as the ability to use AI to separate the foreground and background in photos and drag and drop them anywhere. The update also included a continuity camera feature, allowing users to use their iPhone as a webcam.

While iOS has been praised for incorporating long-requested features from Android flagships, some features have been notably absent until recent updates.
