In less than two months, we will contact you with the first details of the iOS 17as well as other new Apple systems, in WWDC23. Until then, we will still follow a few more rumors related to the systems, in addition to those that have already been disseminated so far.
Combining these speculations with expectations regarding the next generation of iOS, the Ukrainian designer Kostiantyn Konovalov conceived one more iOS 17 concept that covers the most diverse areas of the system. Their designs include both features thought from the ground up and reworked versions of some aspects of the system.
Part 1.
An interesting point that Konovalov included in his concept was the long-awaited (and unlikely) ability to freely move icons and widgets around the home screen. Another novelty, this one with a slightly greater chance of being integrated into iOS 17, is a higher level of editing for the App Library, so that you can modify the folder names and the way they are organized (manually or automatically).
For the locked screen, the creator had interesting ideas. We can observe the display of song lyrics, the possibility of sharing screens and even wallpapers with Memojis that move according to the movements of the face detected by the TrueDepth camera — an idea that is quite nice and that it would not be surprising if Apple actually turned it into reality.
Another possible change contemplated by the concept is a new Control Center, which has been the subject of rumors recently. Contrary to what was said by one leakerin the sense of new features requested by users, the designer thought more about a rearrangement of the available options, in addition to an equalizer for music playback and a new feature for the flashlight.
We also have other insertions as a kind of Split View for iPhone, something already present in Android devices, in addition to the expansion of landscape mode for smaller devices and the fusion of apps Telephone, Contacts e FaceTime into one, which is a rather interesting idea, though not all that likely.
in relation to Apple Music, he thought of a new possibility of sorting albums, as well as displaying more detailed information about tracks. He also envisioned creating a widget to control music playback directly from the Home screen.
Other changes that are in the concept are personalized backgrounds for iMessage, search for messages by terms and more options for Memojis. At the Maila new interface was created and the possibility of organizing emails into categories and inserting signatures, in addition to the integration of Apple News as Safari and a new design for the card transactions area in the app Portfolio (Wallet).
The designer finally thought about creating a “Converter” application, including the capabilities of the Siri and the function Live Textand expanding the keyboard extensions present in iMessage to use the keyboard in all areas of iOS, as well as a more complete interface to adjust text formatting.
As we can see, Konovalov really mixed speculation with expectations. Some points are more likely to be included in the next version of iOS (like the ability to edit the Apps Library and revamped Control Center), while others (like keyboard extensions) are harder to materialize.
We’ll find out the real news at WWDC23. What are your bets?
