You can update your iPhone with iOS 17 on Monday. Here’s what to know:
As the tech world moves from the hype of an Apple event to the demands of the pre-order and release cycles, the backbone of the company’s technology is set to receive an update.
After opening the pre-order for the iPhone 15 on Friday, iOS 17 is the latest in the release pipeline coming off the “Wanderlust” event. The new operating system wasn’t mentioned in the video presentation, but details were released the same day.
The update for the operating system will include additions and improvements across Apple’s flagship products as well as the AirPods.
What’s new with iOS 17?
Live voicemail screening: The new operating system will allow users to read a transcript of a voicemail in real-time and decide whether to pick up the call.
Standby mode: iPhone users will be able to put their phones into standby mode while the phone is charging on its side. In this mode, the phone can function as a clock, shuffle through photos, or operate widgets.
FaceTime update: Users will be able to project calls to an AppleTV device. The iPhone or iPad will serve as the outgoing camera, but incoming video will be seen on the larger screen.
