StandBy is similar to Nightstand mode for the Apple Watch. When you put your phone in landscape orientation on a charger, it activates a full-screen display with at-a-glance information like your calendar, clock, weather details, and even Live Activities. It's truly best with the iPhone 14 Pro's always-on display, but it works on older iPhones if you tap on the screen.

AirDrop   + NameDrop  

AirDrop gets new ways to share in iOS 17 — namely NameDrop. This feature allows users to easily share contact info by simply bringing their iPhones together, or by bringing an iPhone and Apple Watch together.

Widgets on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen are now interactive, which makes them much more useful. You can check off Reminders, control music playback, activate HomeKit devices, and more, without having to open up an app.

Contact Posters

This will let you personalize how you appear in calls and on your contact card. You can customize your poster with images, fonts, and colors. This works with Call Kit so it can be used in third-party VOIP apps.

Live Voicemail

If someone calls and leaves a message you will see a live transcript as they speak. That way you can see if you want to pick up or not.

Autocorrect is using a new machine learning model that can better predict what you want to say. You can more quickly complete words just by tapping the space bar, and in some cases, fill entire sentences. When a word is corrected, it's now underlined, and you can tap it to revert back to the original word you typed if autocorrect makes a mistake.
