iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 Highlights:

  1. StandBy: A Dynamic Information Hub: iOS 17 introduces StandBy, a game-changing feature that transforms your iPhone into a dynamic information hub while it’s charging. With StandBy, you can view live activities, notifications, and widgets on your lock screen without having to unlock your device. It’s customizable, allowing you to choose which widgets and notifications you want to see, and it adapts to different times of the day.
  2. Interactive Widgets: Both iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 offer interactive widgets that provide more functionality right on your home screen. You can perform actions or access information directly from the widget, such as sending messages, making calls, or taking notes. They also support drag and drop for seamless data transfer between widgets and apps.
  3. NameDrop: Effortless Contact Sharing: iOS 17 introduces NameDrop, a feature that simplifies contact sharing. You can now share a contact by simply telling Siri the name of the person you want to share, eliminating the need to open the Contacts app or type anything. NameDrop is compatible with various apps and even works with AirDrop for nearby sharing.
  4. Contact Poster: Personalized Posters: iPadOS 17 debuts Contact Poster, a creative tool that lets you craft personalized posters for your contacts. Powered by AI, Contact Poster generates posters based on a contact’s name, photo, and interests. You can further customize these posters with themes, fonts, colors, and stickers, making them perfect for birthday cards, invitations, or casual fun.
  5. Live Voicemail: iOS 17 enhances the Phone app with Live Voicemail, allowing you to listen to voicemail messages as they are being recorded by the caller. You can interrupt the voicemail to answer the call and also read transcriptions of your voicemail messages, making it quicker and more convenient to manage missed calls.
  6. Audio Message Transcription: iOS 17 introduces audio message transcription in the Messages app. This feature converts audio messages into text, enabling you to read messages in noisy environments or discreetly. You can edit transcriptions and switch between audio and text modes effortlessly.
  7. Stage Manager for Video Calls: iPadOS 17 introduces Stage Manager, a powerful tool for video calls. It grants you greater control over your camera and microphone settings, allowing adjustments to zoom, focus, exposure, white balance, noise cancellation, and adding filters or effects. This feature works seamlessly with popular video call apps.

  • A new Health app for iPad to track health and fitness data and share health information.
