Apple announced this Monday (05), during WWDC 2023, the future version of the operating system for the iPhone. iOS 17 will be the next major software update for the brand’s cell phones and will feature several productivity improvements, as well as unprecedented features that promise new ways of interacting with the device.
The new version of the operating system will change the way users activate Siri and will bring several improvements to AirDrop sharing and new ways to communicate in iMessage and FaceTime. In addition, there is a new usage mode that turns the iPhone into a “smart display”. Check the details below.
New design for incoming calls
Apple is introducing new “Contact Posters” for the Phone. With this feature, users will be able to customize how their contacts appear on the screen, bringing a new new look for incoming calls. It will be possible to select photos or Memojis, in addition to changing the typography and font colors for each friend or family member.
StandBy
One of the highlights of iOS 17 is a new mode called “StandBy”. This is a new user interface that automatically appears when the phone is charging in horizontal orientation (landscape mode). This function uses the iPhone’s always-on display to serve as a “smart display” similar to the Amazon Echo Show.
With StandBy, users will be able to access quick information — such as date and time and weather — or more frequently used features of the system, such as the calendar, lyrics and live activities of compatible applications. You can also preview some of your featured photos and choose from different customizable clocks.
