Apple will announce iOS 17 in about a month, and the details are leaking out at a furious rate. For those who can’t wait, here’s what we already know about the next major update to the iPhone operating system.

She plays a frustrated young scientist in the early 1950s who gets fired from a lab, takes a job as host of a TV cooking show and “sets out to teach … a lot more than recipes,” according to the streaming service.
