I'm very happy with iOS 17.2; however, when I updated my Apple Watch to 10.2, the VoiceOver voice reverted to Samantha, and I cannot change it back to Zoey enhanced. I spent almost two hours on the phone with Apple Accessibility and the problem still hasn't been resolved. I know some people like the Samantha voice, but I can't stand it. I hope someone can figure out a fix soon. I also updated to macOS 14.2 and I've heard great things, but I haven't done a whole lot with that yet. I'm still "getting my feet wet" where the Mac is concerned.

I am absolutely stunned to report that after testing virtually every aspect of all of my must-have native and third-party apps, I have not yet encountered a bug. And, as painful as it is for me to admit, I think Apple has done a splendid job with the new version of the native TV app for iOS, iPad OS and, yes, dare I say it, even TV OS. I also updated my Apple Watch Series 7 to Watch OS 10. Again, I can not find a bug. In fact, the hap tic time works consistently using the same gestures I've used since the feature was introduced many years ago. I have not yet had the opportunity to use a Braille display with the latest OS so cannot comment on that aspect of the OS. However, I will say that all of the VoiceOver glitches that I experienced, when having two active E SIM cards installed, has been completely resolved. Speaking only for myself, I am absolutely delighted with iOS 17.2. I am running the OS on my beloved 1GB iPhone 14 Pro Max. Before installing the OS I: 1. Made a full backup of the device on my beloved Windows 10 PC with the latest version of iTunes. 2. Backed up the device to iCloud. 3. Closed every app via the App Switcher. 4. Disconnected any non-crucial devices from my primary network. 5. Disconnected all of the sub-networks from the primary network. 6. Rebooted the device, twice, and allowed it to sit idle for 2-minutes. This insures that the device has full acquisition of the network. 7. Downloaded and install the OS, OTA (over the air).
