But the iOS 17 user guide still has not been released. Maybe it will be in time for 18?

That’s a good point. I almost forgot about the new Journal app.

Me too, that was the biggest thing I have been waiting for. Well that and some homekit things. I have been trying to get more info about the journal app but nothing more that was in the presentation.

It’ll be shipped via the App Store, so not in tandem with an OS update.

I hope it’s not being quietly canceled.

I was really excited about Favorites in the Music app… until I learned it’s just replacing “Loved.”

I thought they’d have a third type of system:

Favorites / Suggest More (Love) / Suggest Less

It’s sort of like that now, but it’s:

Favorites (Loved) / Suggest More (Added to Library) / Suggest Less

Oh well!

Love and favorites would be super redundant and confusing for the average user IMO.

That’s why I never explicitly said it should have both.
