During Apples special Wonderlust event, the company confirmed that the
iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 updates will be available to iPhone and iPad users on
September 18. The new version of iOS has been under beta testing since June,
when it was announced at WWDC 2023, and comes with many new features.
Whats new with iOS 17
iOS 17 introduces a new feature called Contact Posters, allowing you to
personalize how your profile appears during interactions with other iPhone
users.
With Contact Posters, you can add a picture and set unique typography, font
colors, and various other elements to make your Contact Poster uniquely
yours.
For FaceTime audio and video calls, Apple has introduced voicemail support
for the first time. This means that when you call someone, you can leave a
message.
Similarly, when someone calls you, they can also leave their own voicemail.
FaceTime in iOS 17 also comes with 3D Reactions, including hearts, balloons,
fireworks, laser beams, and rain.
iOS 17 also brings enhancements to AirDrop. Notably, the new NameDrop
feature simplifies sharing your contact details with other iPhone or Apple
Watch users by simply bringing two devices close to each other.
Additionally, you can activate SharePlay for activities like video, music,
and games by holding two iPhones in proximity.
Another major new features coming with iOS 17 is StandBy. When you place
your iPhone horizontally on a charger, it shows a custom interface with
easily accessible widgets for time, calendar, alarms, and more. And now,
Home Screen widgets are fully interactive.
On the iPad, iPadOS 17 brings a new Lock Screen experience, new drawing
tools when using Apple Pencil, support for external webcams, and more.
Availability
Both iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 will be available to download on Monday, September
18. iOS 17 is compatible with iPhone XR and later, while iPadOS 17 requires
an iPad with an A10 Bionic chip or later.
