"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.

Maximizing the Potential of iOS 17 StandBy Mode with MagSafe Chargers and Customization Tips

Apple's new StandBy feature uses the iPhone's always-on display to turn it into an information hub while charging on a dock. It displays clock faces or widgets, including smart stacks that update in real-time, making it useful for things like music or game scorecard widgets. The feature responds to its surroundings by dimming itself in the dark and is power efficient. It will be available as an iOS 17 feature and works with wireless chargers, but it's unclear if it only works with Apple's chargers or any third-party wireless charging dock.
