Apple Daily | iPhone 17 Models to Feature 24MP Front Cameras, iOS 17.6 Adds Wallet Support in Canada, Australia

**iPhone** Support for Apple Account Cards in the Wallet app is now available in Canada and Australia, requiring an update to iOS 17.6. The feature allows users to add and view their Apple Account balance for purchases.

All four iPhone 17 models expected next year will feature a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, an upgrade from the current 12-megapixel cameras. This enhancement is expected to improve image quality and provide more flexibility in post-processing.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to have larger battery capacities compared to previous models. Leaked figures indicate a 9.25% increase for the iPhone 16 Pro and a 5.74% increase for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially offering more sustained real-world usage on a single charge.

**iPad**

**Mac** Apple's latest beta versions of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 introduce Apple Intelligence features, currently available to developers. These features include advanced writing tools, a revamped Siri, and enhanced media management capabilities. Some features are postponed to later releases, with a full rollout expected by 2025.

**Others** The United States Department of Justice has sued TikTok and its parent company ByteDance for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), alleging the illegal collection of data from children under 13 without parental consent.

Apple's first foldable device may not hit its previously expected 2025 schedule for mass production.

Apple is pressuring Tencent and ByteDance to remove loopholes in their apps that circumvent Apple's 30% commission. Apple has threatened not to approve future updates to WeChat and Douyin until compliance is met.
