Those familiar with the usual performance of Amazon Alexa on their Echo screens, will know that you can have a drop-down list of connected home functions, which is always available, and which allows you to interact with all the devices you have synchronized in your centralized virtual. assistant, how could it be otherwise.
At the moment it is an option that we do not have available under any iOS alternative, something that will change with iOS 17. And it is that the new version of the operating system that Apple will present the first week of June will allow users to enjoy a lock screen that will display information from your HomeKit devices in real time while charging.
According to Mark Gurman, analyst at Bloombergthe Cupertino company is working to offer this alternative, and certainly there is not much left for us to verify, and that is that, as we have already said, next June 5 at 7:00 p.m. Spanish time (10:00 a.m. in Cupertino ), We will be able to learn iOS 17 in depth thanks to WWDC23.
In this case, when the iPhone or iPad is connected to a MagSafe port, it will allow you quick and easy access to the system which will quickly display all Apple HomeKit functions. As we said, this is something we’ve seen before on Google Nest or Amazon Echo devices, so it’s no surprise that Apple wants to add this option to your iPhone. However, it would be much more interesting if Apple implemented this functionality on the iPad, allowing us to connect our iPad to a power source and use it as an interactive accessory hub, is this possible? We do not exclude it if we take into account that one of the most striking functions that iPadOS 17 will supposedly integrate is precisely the customizable lock screen.
