Apple has already sent the invitations to the lucky winners for the WWDC23 which will begin on June 5, the day when you will have an important appointment with us, which we will come to tell you about all the news at the software level that the Cupertino company will present .
These are all the novelties of iOS 17 that will be presented on June 5 at 7:00 p.m. Spanish time. Do not miss them, because we are going to show you all the curiosities that have been known in recent weeks and that will help you know in depth the next operating system for your iPhone.
First thing: accessibility
Apple wants to convert iOS17 on the world’s most accessible operating system, and it’s hard but rewarding work. We’re all in favor of Apple focusing its development on making it easier for those who for one reason or another have barriers to using iOS, so now is a good time to mark a before and after. .
In this sense, Apple has baptized as Assisted access to all those features that keep the iOS user interface to a minimum with the intention that only the most basic and necessary functions appear, enlarging the size of the buttons and making it easier for the elderly and disabled to interact with your iPhone and iPad .
Although gradually this adapted user interface is being extended, when it is launched, it will be able to be appreciated by users who need it in: FaceTime, Messages, Camera, Photos and Music, what Apple considers to be the most relevant apps for everyday use.
Still in the orbit of accessibility, Apple will officially introduce Live speech and personal voice, which gives your iPhone the ability to record and store certain phrases with our own voice, in this way users with speech limitations will be able to communicate more quickly and naturally both in face-to-face conversations at times live, as well as any type of FaceTime call, video or audio only.
Mental Health
As we learned several weeks ago from a leak in the The Wall Street Journal, the Cupertino company was working on setting up a new application with a codename “Jurassic”, designed to help users track their daily life, analyzing their behavior, something like habit monitoring.
This application, which will also serve as a diary, will allow us to write notes, audios, save images and provide us with mental and physical health advice.
Although we do not yet know its final name, the application will be halfway between a traditional newspaper and an integration with the Health application, which willIt will allow you to access information from the motion and location sensors of our iPhone and Apple Watch, it will therefore also analyze and determine what our daily habits are.
Apple Cards
The Cupertino company continues to work to offer Apple Maps as a real alternative to third-party services such as Google Maps and Waze. The reality is that due to the lack of content, updating and functioning, Apple’s option is still very far from those who use Google Maps as their source of information.
In this sense, with the arrival of iOS 17, Apple wants to turn its Maps application into an option of your choice, taking into account that it will have a much more interactive lock screen guidance system than that seen so far, showing us both the route and real-time notifications while we have the screen locked.
Health and wallet
Both of these apps will also receive a major overhaul with the arrival of iOS 17. Unfortunately, in the Wallet app, these innovations will focus on Apple’s proprietary card, which will add a new in-app button to Apple Cash Savings, will add a search engine at the top as it already happens in many other apps such as Settings, and even a button that will allow us to access all the movements made with all our cards.
About the app Health, The Cupertino company has pledged to bring it to iPadOS as well, where users can easily check their fitness. In the same way, new features will be added such as emotion tracking and visual condition control, two health aspects that until now had not been explored by Apple.
Lock screen and app library
The iPhone lock screen will also get some changes, or at least some added features, and that’s We can adjust the size of the text displayed on the screen. We can also easily share the design of our lock screens, which we can do for the moment with the spheres of our Apple Watch with a few light touches.
As for the application library, a section that Apple has quite limited since its launch, we will finally be able to change the name of the folders, although the automatic assignment that iOS does is quite successful, nothing like being able to customize it to our liking and win, that’s why it’s ours.
Other news
