Apple's iOS 17.2, the latest version of the operating system for its iPhones, is now available in Software Update – but some last-minute changes mean it's missing two key features that were previously promised. The missing features aren't going to massively impact your day to day phone usage, but it's still disappointing if you were waiting for them to arrive.
The first feature that Apple's dropped is the new collaborative playlists feature in Apple Music. This Spotify-style feature has been promised several times for iOS 17 and was enabled in the early iOS 17.2 beta versions, but Apple has now removed it and updated the release notes to say that the feature has been delayed. As this is the last significant update to iOS we'll see in 2023, that means the feature isn't coming until next year.
