Apple's iOS 17 update introduces a new feature allowing users to reset their iPhone passcode if they've changed it within the last 72 hours and remember their previous passcode. This can be done by entering the old passcode after an "iPhone Unavailable" message appears from entering the incorrect passcode five times. The feature is a relief for users who forget their new passcode but becomes ineffective after the 72-hour window, after which the only option is to reset the iPhone entirely. Additionally, an upcoming feature will prevent thieves from performing sensitive actions even if they have the iPhone and its passcode.
iOS 17 is set to introduce six significant features that will enhance the iPhone user experience. These include RCS support in Messages for better communication with Android devices, app sideloading in the EU due to regulatory compliance, a next-generation CarPlay with deeper vehicle integration, collaborative playlists in Apple Music, AirPlay functionality for hotel room TVs, and the expansion of satellite-based roadside assistance outside the U.S. These updates, confirmed by Apple, are expected to roll out in 2024 and pave the way for the subsequent release of iOS 18.
To extend your iPhone's battery life during New Year's festivities, consider disabling haptic keyboard feedback, turning off proximity AirDrop sharing, using offline maps, disabling Live Activities, turning off the Always-On display (for iPhone 14/15 Pro models), utilizing Focus modes to manage notifications, limiting apps' access to location services, and enabling Low Power Mode. These tips can help reduce battery drain and keep your iPhone running longer during extended use.
Apple has added the Dogecoin Ð symbol to its iPhone keyboard in the latest iOS17 upgrade. Users can access the symbol by pressing and holding the D button on their iPhone keyboards. This development comes after Dogecoin received support from various high-profile figures and made headlines for upcoming missions to the moon and space, as well as its appearance on the Tesla CyberTruck page. The inclusion of the Dogecoin Ð symbol on iPhones is expected to further boost the popularity and price of the meme coin.
Apple is blaming a software bug and certain apps like Instagram and Uber for causing the iPhone 15 models to overheat. The company is working on an update to the iOS17 system to address the issue and is collaborating with app developers to prevent system overload. While Instagram has already released an update, Uber and other apps are still in the process. Apple assured users that there are no safety concerns and that they can continue using their devices until the software fix is issued. The overheating problem is not related to the phone's casing or the shift to USB-C. The issue could potentially impact sales as Apple has been experiencing declining sales in recent quarters.
Apple has released its latest operating system, iOS17, for iPhone users, offering a range of new features. Live Voicemail transcribes messages in real-time, allowing users to decide whether to answer a call or let the caller leave a message. FaceTime now allows users to leave video messages and offers new expressive effects. Siri can be activated by saying "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri" and can process back-to-back requests more efficiently. The NameDrop feature makes it easier to exchange contact information, and users can design custom images for caller ID. Autocorrect has been improved with a language model for better word prediction and sentence-level autocorrections. StandBy mode provides glanceable information when the iPhone is charging, and a new Journal app for reflection and gratitude will be available later this year.
