Apple Announces iOS 17 With 'StandBy' View, Journal App, Siri Changes, and More

[krifor03]

Perhaps, but Musk has been pretty nasty to Apple so it might just be a big finger for him.

this is true

And in those moments where you just wanna type a ducking word. Well, the keyboard will learn it too when it comes to speeding up your. View transcript

iphone x support? sideloading support??

Since they mentioned the Neural engine several times , I really think they are going to dump the 8 and X

 

[dontwalkhand]

Sigh, I was hoping for the new Wallet app!

 

[sdm1985]

It’s a sad day when a headline feature is ‘pets album in folders’. Big fuss over multiple timers…

 

[3rdiguy]

Why no StandBy for iPads?

 

[Biga173rd]

The leakers got it all wrong. Very disappointed with this update. The most requested suggestions turned down.

 

[Biga173rd]

Looks to be a decent update. I still want to be able to put icons wherever I want and multi tasking. Not sure those will ever happen….

I was hoping for that too. This is a mediocre update. 😴😴😴

Now you will see naked bxxches when you get spam calls…nice

I know right. This is going to get spammed hard

 

[3530025]

Sideloading where? Perhaps not advertised on WWDC because it's EU only feature, so US market don't get jealous?

 

[Insane.J]

What was the stand they used for the Standby feature?

Twelve South Forté

Now you will see naked bxxches when you get spam calls…nice

Seriously.

Craig: "We're making big improvements to the phone app."

Me: "Finally! Native caller ID! A much better UI! Call recording!"

Craig: "Introducing contact posters!"

Me: "...****."

Shared passwords is really useful.

Not so much when someone can steal your iPhone, change your deets / access your life with just the passcode & can now also access others' deets that have been shared. Sure I could use a password manager but for the majority, disappointed to see that this hasn't been recognised nor dealt with effectively.

 

[DotCom2]

Did they say anything about the wallet app? If so, I missed it.

 

[alexandr]

So wait, is it clear whether Standby will only work when the phone is charging, or will it work if the phone is just sitting horizontally?

 

[alexandr]

Did they say anything about the wallet app? If so, I missed it.

That is a great point — I don't think they did.

 

[CaryMacGuy]

Will Standby work when an iPhone is connected to CarPlay? I have a Magsafe dash mount and it would be really awesome if I could use the Standby now playing screen in conjunction with CarPlay (I could have Maps on CarPlay and the now playing screen on my iPhone screen).

 

[dontwalkhand]

Did they say anything about the wallet app? If so, I missed it.

It may not receive any updates at all or the updates are so minor they just don't care to make a mention of it.

 

[sleeptodream]

Looks like the leaks were way wrong. No customizable control center, no wallet improvemnets. We just got better sharing, a journal app, improved keyboard, and standby mode? Very disapointing update.

The bump sharing, standby mode, and improved keyboard are features that will get used all the time. I also really like the profile cards. Considering how much development is being done on visionOS right now, I think this is a pretty nice update, considering it’s free and all

edit: Also the shareplay in the car feature? Super cool. I was so sick of handing my phone to people while driving so they could put music on, since you can’t connect new bluetooth devices while driving. I hope it works well!

 

[ThomasJL]

So this isn’t a Snow Leopard-like update that will focus on bug fixes, performance, and stability?

iOS 16 is the buggiest iOS release ever, even now with the latest version, 16.5. I think I’ll pass on iOS 17 until it reaches it’s final version next year, around September 2024, shortly before iOS 18 is released.

 

[garranhado]

iOS 17 is a minor version.. nothing special, don’t understand the justification for iPhone 8/8plus/X drop.

 

[trud0t]

Nothing about getting rid of the damn green bubbles. Is there a sticker for being an obstinate tool bag and not improving Android texting?

Are you really that perturbed over the fact that Apple doesn’t really care for Google’s iteration of their idea?

I’m not an Android fan, but who cares.

Green peeps on my phone aren’t that close to me anyway.

 

[trud0t]

iOS 17 is a minor version.. nothing special, don’t understand the justification for iPhone 8/8plus/X drop.

Yeah, it seems quite odd especially when the 6S was given the crazy run it had. No major UX features that warrants the device drop.

 

[DamoTheBrave]

iOS 17

AI or smarter Siri? No. Split Screen? No. Notification Sync across devices? No.

Apple: Here are more stickers !!

Siri does now do follow up replies without additional context. That's pretty significant in terms of usability.

tired of those grimmick things of personalisation, e.g. contact card, personal voice, etc, and those cosmetic improvement like customised lock screen, making emoji. while they put effort in making contact card, why didn't they upgrade the old contact app, in particular improving its integration with other native apps, like making it to support POI　in addr fields, so that contact with POI typed addr could be located on apple map?

there are some nice tweak to improve productivities, transcription of voice msg in both phone and imessage.

so far, a bit disappointed not to hear many updates on Map, Photo and Calendar apps which i use mostly in daily life.

some may be excited about the new upcoming journal app. however, i am skeptical how far it is diff from the little nice Note app, and why didn't they make it as a feature upgrade to Note app.
