I am a devout member of the Android congregation and have been for some years, for a variety of reasons I won’t go into here. Needless to say I’ve made it very clear that I have no intention of leaving Android, especially given Apple’s wonky and inconsistent take on the back button.
But during the course of the WWDC 2023 keynote I found myself very intrigued by the new features that were coming to iOS 17, to the point where I actually felt myself thinking “oh damn, I wish I had that feature on my phone.” Will they be enough to make me switch platforms? Not at all, but these seven iOS 17 features are doing a great job of trying to tempt me back to iPhone after a 12-year absence.
