Apple announces iOS 17
On June 5 (local time), Apple announced “iOS 17” at the developer conference “WWDC 2023”. A developer preview will be available to members of the Apple Developer Program starting today through developer.apple.com. A public beta for general users will be available at beta.apple.com next month. The official release is expected this fall, and will be provided in the form of a free update.
communication
“iOS 17” strengthens communication tools such as “Phone”, “FaceTime”, and “Messages”
“iOS 17” strengthens communication tools such as “phone”, “FaceTime”, and “message”.
For example, until now, when you received a call with the “Phone” app, you might only see the name of the other party, but with “iOS 17” you can design a “contact poster” and display it on the other party’s terminal. You can express your personality with photos and Memoji.

In addition, it has a “live answering machine” that helps you decide whether to answer an incoming call. When someone leaves a voicemail message, it’s transcribed in real time. Even when you are hesitant to answer the phone, such as during a meeting or while traveling by train, you can check the business. Live voicemail transcripts are processed on-device, ensuring complete privacy.
The FaceTime app will also let you leave audio or video messages in case the person you’re calling isn’t available. Also, “FaceTime” is supported on Apple TV. It is also possible to carry over the continuation of the call started on the iPhone to the Apple TV and share it on the large screen TV in the living room.
The Messages app gets a redesign, with support for new emoji stickers, the ability to extract the subject of a photo to create a Live sticker, and safety confirmation to let family and friends know when you’ve arrived safely at your destination. .

AirDrop
A new sharing method, “NameDrop,” will be added to “AirDrop,” which allows you to easily share files. This allows you to easily share contact information by simply bringing iPhones closer together, or iPhone and Apple Watch. The aforementioned “contact poster” can also be exchanged.

You can also use the same gestures to share content or start SharePlay to listen to music, watch movies, or play games when your iPhones are nearby. Later this year, the ability to complete transfers over the Internet will also be supported.
stand-by
“Standby”, which is newly installed in “iOS 17”, is a function that provides various information in full screen while charging the iPhone in landscape orientation. It can display a beautifully styled clock, favorite photos, a set of useful widgets, and more, making your iPhone look like a smart speaker with a monitor.

By the way, in “iOS 17”, the voice assistant responds only with “Siri!” without calling “Hey, Siri!”.
journal
“Journal”, which is newly added in “iOS 17”, is an application to make it a habit to keep a diary. It leverages on-device machine learning to intelligently curate photos, people, places, workouts and more from recent activity so users can reflect on their day. You can also set a notification to write a diary at a set time every day, which is perfect for people who quickly get discouraged following starting a diary. If you use an API called “Journaling Suggestions”, you can also suggest diary suggestions from third-party apps, so you can expect support other than OS standard apps.

The contents of the diary will be protected by the application lock function and end-to-end encryption. Even Apple can’t snoop on your diary.
Other improvements include improved auto-correction and voice input, an expanded Health app, a Maps app that supports offline maps, and improved privacy and accessibility.
Compatible devices are “iPhone Xs” and later, and the following models will not be able to upgrade from “iOS 16”.
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
