The Hangover #WWDC23 It still goes on, there have been many novelties that Apple has presented such as a new, more sophisticated watchOS, great novelties in iPadOS and, of course, the new virtual reality glasses that have left absolutely no one indifferent.
We thoroughly tested iOS 17, we therefore bring you all its news with precision and openly. Discover with us everything you need to know about the new firmware of your iPhone and why all these functions will change your life.
Reminders: shopping list
The Reminders application is still one of those affected by the renovations, the integration of Artificial Intelligence helps you produce more and better. Personally, I haven’t used third-party options for notes and reminders in a long time, Apple’s work is palpable.
In this sense, Apple has introduced an improvement so basic that we do not understand how it had not arrived before. Now the Reminders app will allow you to create a shopping list that is to say, it will identify which products are in order to organize them according to their typology, therefore, it will be easier to locate your targets in the supermarket and you will save time.
The real automatic corrector
The autocorrector, why deny it, was one of the pending tasks of the Cupertino company. Little or very little has been seen in this aspect since iOS 17, and performance was below the competition.
This has come to an end Apple has improved its automatic correction thanks to the Neural Engine, this will allow you to easily obtain more and better results. After our first tests the improvement is evident.
Also, now if you do a long press, you will be able to choose the “Insert” option, which will allow you to share a password or contact in any text box, amazing. Forget that “Olaya” corrects you every time you want to put “Beach”.
21st century contact cards
We already know that the basics exist until Apple makes them a necessity. That’s what happened with AirDrop and contact cards. Now Apple is going to let you share a contact card with any user just by bringing your iPhone closer to theirs.
The novelty ? Well, this contact card will include a photo, a personalized poster, and all the information you want, hassle-free. We will be able to choose what type of information we share and how. This will display in full screen whenever we receive a call, creating a unique experience in which you are in charge.
And this is not the only improvement of Airdrop, that with this approach it will allow you to share in real time the music you listen to, the content you play and thousands of other things, it only remains for the developers to adapt it correctly.
Safari improvements
Safari It’s always slightly updated with each iOS release, no wonder considering that Apple’s web browser is the most used on its devices, and one of the most used in the world.
In this sense, Apple has improved the user interface of the Private navigation, by blocking access with a code or Face ID.
Home redesigns (HomeKit)
The Home app has already been integrated into Matter and the rest of the technologies. It’s the home automation powerhouse par excellence, but there’s always room for improvement.
So things, Apple has improved the design of shortcuts to home devices, which we can control from the control center, showing a lot more customization options and settings, so we can interact quickly.
Usage time: screen distance
Apple has focused a lot on the health, and the reality is that the excessive use of screens negatively affects our vision.
To avoid it, Apple has added a control system that will warn us when we use the iPhone too close to our eyes, which promotes visual diseases such as presbyopia or eyestrain. The settings are in use timeand they are easy to configure.
Health: monitor your mood
In line with the above, now is the time to stop focusing on blood oxygen, beats per minute, and the exercise we are doing. Mental health is also important, and Apple knows that very well.
To do this, a new feature in Health for iOS 17 allows us to monitor our state of mind, carry out an exhaustive control and detect any transient disorders such as depression.
Messages: new design and customizable stickers
The Messages app has a lot to do, especially if it wants to compete with WhatsApp, the market-leading messaging service.
However, small steps can lead to success. Now Apple has improved the user interface, doing away with text box extensions and integrating a complete and efficient sticker creation system that works like a charm.
Apple TV: The controller is slightly renewed
tvOS has a lot to say, and we told you about it here in Actualidad iPhone, however, the redesign that the control built into iOS has undergone is remarkable, making it lighter according to the usual user interface, but without any feature changes.
Maps, also offline
Now the application of Maps from Apple will allow you to download a specific area of the map, store it on the device, allowing you to navigate even without a network connection.
StandBy, what you expected
Apple Watch’s night mode and various always-on display features have finally gotten the respect they deserve.
If you place your iPhone horizontally in a MagSafe charger, you will be able to take advantage of a suitable Control Center that will show you both the time and certain time-related information, the Home app and even the calendar. This screen will acquire a reddish tone in case the light sensor deems it, helping you sleep better.
what’s to come
There are still many features Apple didn’t include in the early beta stages of iOS 17, and in iPhone News we’re only talking about what we’ve tested, with our most sincere and comprehensive review. . In this direction, the Journal app or deleting “Hey Siri” to invoke the virtual assistant are features that we have not yet been able to test.
