Tap the table/nightstand and it will briefly wake up like the nightstand mode on the watch.

I’ve seen previous discussions re: using automations to operate a smart plug in a similar scenario: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/shortcut-to-turn-off-smart-plug-when-phone-is-charged.2350306/
Yanking it off the stand is difficult enough from the angle I’m coming at it in bed that it deters me from using it once it’s on there. The stand I’m using has a pretty aggressively strong magnet and it requires two hands if I’m lying down.
Same as you. Used it during beta a few times, but now I don’t bother. Don’t see a point.
Still having issues with that restore. If you can share your method that worked, please do.
I've just gone through most of them to hear what they sound. like. I don't think they're any louder, and the default alert tone is still rubbish and audibly low.
Finallly, always-on in standby actually means always-on and not almost always on! I’ve waited for this! Now let’s hope they decide to embed alarm functionality into standby.
I found a new feature with beta 2:
Safari randomly crashes while I’m typing a comment here. It’s happened 5 times so far. Can’t figure out what causes it.
UPDATE: figured it out. Any time I touch a word that has been autocorrected, Safari crashes. 100% of the time. And with iOS 17, accidentally selecting autocorrected words happens constantly now, as it will always select a word instead of repositioning the cursor, such as when I decide I want to reword something.

I don’t have a alarm clock so I use this every night, I really like it
There was a speculation that it got something to do with the firmware/controller of the charging circuitry in iP15 series. They can control the charge limit even if the OS is not running. In older phones you could probably introduce this feature too but it wouldn’t work if the phone is turned off. I don’t know if this explanation is true or false. Your guess is as good as mine.
Iphone 15 pro and 15 pro max seem to not overheat at all now. Not even when charging.
On my 14 PM, the tones are definitely louder than they were in 17.0 - I can actually hear them now. Still too quiet but at least on my device the volume has increased a bit.
Play/Pause music works when doing a workout. And my phone crashed when leaving this comment. Never seen safari crash on an iPhone before.
Doesn’t make sense in my opinion because the iPhones doesn’t have a real loading when turned off. As soon as you start loading the phone turns on and the OS is booting.
Wow, that sounds super annoying. So one always has to use the space bar now to reposition the cursor?
That still doesn't make a lot of sense, because you can have a shortcut be triggered on a certain battery percentage (there's just no action to turn off charging then).
iPhoneOS went away a very long time ago 😂
With regards to texts tones/tones, ringtones, just curious to if this software brings back the option to select custom ringtones, text tones/tones. Prior to iOS 17, I was able to choose some custom ringtones, text tones/tones that I added on to my iPhone years.
With iOS 17 I cannot see them in the list of text tones, ringtones/tones.

Anyone else not getting message alerts on iPhone 15 Pro. Only seem to get them if i'm not wearing my watch.
That’s normal. You should get the notification in the Notification Centre but no sound will play if your wearing your watch
I don’t let my phone charge over night. This is how you get a low battery health.
