"iOS 17: A Game-Changing Update for iPhone Users"
StandBy is a new docking mode in iOS 17 that turns the iPhone into a widget machine when it's charging and rotated to landscape orientation. It allows users to see a full-screen clock, calendar, photos slideshow, music controls, activity progress, weather, and more. While it doesn't require a special accessory to work, using a charger and a way to prop the phone upright on its side enhances the experience. StandBy is a promising feature, but it still needs improvement in terms of app support, landscape-to-portrait rendering, brightness control, and integration with the rest of the iPhone experience. Nonetheless, it is considered the most useful new iPhone feature in a long time and has the potential to inspire developers to create better widgets.
