I've been on the betas (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, audioOS, Air Pods Pro 2 firmware) since they dropped. The first few were train wrecks, but the last 3 or 4 before RC were gold. Minor issues but they flew. RC dropped and literally every device suffered somehow. It happens every other year where something they add back in before it GMs. Dogs the build on launch, I don't know. I was hoping RC was RC and we would get a GM; different build.
As for the features, yeah, HUGE huge HUUGGEEE boost to gaming. Most of my Windows games play well enough or in most cases flawless through Apple's GPTK and Sonoma with upgrades to metal, gfx.
iOS 17 is phenomenal and I love the StandBy screen, bought a new stand specifically for it lol. watchOS too, big improvements, especially on UX, UI is bigger and cleaner, more focused on controls.
