Apple recently released their latest software update for the iPhone range. It's named iOS 17 and is available to download now on iPhone Xs and later models. The update comes alongside the latest iPhone 15 release, which are also available now.
Below are the standout features of iOS 17:
StandBy Mode
A new full-screen experience for your iPhone. When your device is on charge, be sure to turn it on its side. This will turn your iPhone into a smart display, which will enable you to view glanceable information.
This includes an array of useful things such as: Date, time, incoming calls and various notifications. StandBy is also incredibly customisable, and you will be able to display your favourite photos, get the weather forecast, check on Live Activities and loads more!

All you have to do is bring the two iPhones close together and watch the information transfer across – like magic! Just make sure you have the AirDrop receive feature enabled for it to work. |
