There are more details about some of the updates toAppleservices that are coming with the launch ofiOS17 for theiPhoneand the respective updates foriPad,Apple Watch,Apple TVand Mac. While some of these were mentioned among the fire hose of info that formed theWWDC keynote, some are new.
While not directly part of the OS, these services form part of most people’s routine when using their devices, and so will be a welcome upgrade. These include Apple Maps, Podcasts and Apple Music.
While this year’s announcement spent a lot of time on the newApple Visionheadset and newMac devices, there were still plenty of updates to the operating systems that will launch later this year alongside a potentialiPhone 15.
Apple Maps gets EV charging data
Apple Music becomes easier to share and sing along with
It got a brief mention at WWDC, but the new SharePlay function allows multiple users in a car to control what music is playing from their devices. The system works with CarPlay and will let all passengers choose the songs.
Song Credits in Apple Music will provide more details on the tracks to explore with data on the musicians and instruments behind the tunes. While for those wannabe stars, Apple Music Sing will work with Continuity Camera to put you on screen while you sing along to the lyrics, with a range of filters to make you look the part.

Daily puzzles on Apple News+
If you like to start the day with a crossword, Apple has teamed up with The Puzzle Society to bring daily crosswords and mini crosswords to Apple News+ subscribers.
Apple Podcasts dive deeper
An all-new ‘now playing’ screen will grace Apple Podcasts, with dynamic backgrounds and enhanced controls. There’s new episode art to give more info about the shows or episodes, while Apple News+ subscribers can bring their audio stories into the Podcasts app too. The same is true for subscribers of apps like Calm, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal.
Check ID with Apple Wallet and repeat payment with Apple Cash
The process of being able to authenticate IDs will be possible using Apple Wallet, iPhone to iPhone. When an ID is presented on Apple Wallet, the business owner can hold their phone up to it to authenticate it instantly. Great for small businesses checking age or other details, though presumably this will be limited to US driving licences for now.
Those wanting to make regular payments will be able to do it through Apple Cash soon. The service will allow weekly, bi-weekly and monthly options for payments between friends or even paying your rent. You can also set an auto top-up for your Apple Cash balance.
All of these service updates are expected to be available in the upcoming Beta versions of iOS 17 soon.
