Apple Introduces iOS 17 with Major Upgrades to iPhone
Experience
Overview
Apple has recently announced the launch of iOS 17, which introduces major upgrades to the Phone, FaceTime, and Messages applications, making the iPhone more personal and intuitive. This version also provides an easier way to share information with AirDrop, intelligent text input, and new experiences with Journal and StandBy. Apple has deeply considered the features that users rely on every day and ensured that this release is jam-packed with updates that will make communication easy and fun.
Major Upgrades to the Phone Experience
The Phone application, being central to the iPhone experience, receives significant upgrades with personalized Contact Posters that provide a new way for users to express themselves. Contact Posters can help users customize how they appear and choose the most beautiful treatments for photos or Memoji, as well as eye-catching typography and font colors. Contact Posters also provide users with a new way to express themselves and bring a completely new look to incoming calls.
Live Voicemail
Live Voicemail gives users the ability to pick up while the caller is leaving their message and see real-time transcription even as the caller is still leaving their voicemail. Calls identified as spam by carriers will be instantly declined, and the Neural Engine technology ensures that transcription is done on-device, making it completely private.
FaceTime
FaceTime now supports audio and video messages, making it possible for users to share a moment that can be enjoyed later. New effects can be activated through simple gestures, making FaceTime even more expressive. Apple has extended FaceTime to the biggest screen in the home, allowing users to initiate video calls directly from Apple TV and see friends and family on their television.
Messages
Messages gets significant updates in iOS 17, including an all-new stickers experience, which adds the ability to create Live Stickers by lifting subjects from photos. Search gets more powerful and precise with search filters that make it possible for users to start a search and add additional filters to find what they are seeking easily. Users can also reply inline simply by swiping on a text bubble, and sharing their location will update in real-time right in the conversation.
Easier Sharing with AirDrop and NameDrop
AirDrop makes it easy for users to share files with colleagues or send photos to friends in seconds. NameDrop, on the other hand, allows users to easily share contact information by bringing their iPhones together or by bringing an iPhone and an Apple Watch together. With the same gesture, users can also share content or start SharePlay, making it easier than ever to listen to music, watch a movie, or play a game.
Improvements to Autocorrect and Dictation
Autocorrect receives a transformative update with a transformer language model for word prediction, making typing faster and more accurate. Text recommendations will now appear inline as users type, making it easy to complete whole sentences or add entire words by tapping the space bar. StandBy gives users a full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to be viewed from a distance when the iPhone is on its side and charging.
