![]() ![]() The Task Switcher hasn't seen any updates - you see app cards and swipe them for closure. You can use a haptic touch to access additional controls. The Control Center, which has customizable and (some) expandable toggles, is called with a swipe from the right side of the Dynamic Island. The pane was unified with the lockscreen in iOS 11, and that's why you can have different wallpapers on your homescreen and notification center. The Notification Center is summoned with a swipe from the left side of the Dynamic Island. It's a pity this Today page cannot be disabled, as we found it mostly useless. The old widgets come right after the new ones, should you choose to use some new ones. Here, you can also use the old third-party widgets that still need to be optimized for newer iOS versions. You can put the same widgets and stacks you can on your homescreens. The app sorting depends on the App Store tags the developer has used upon uploading the apps. The sorting is also an automatic process, and you can't edit the categories or move apps in different categories. Apps are added automatically to the App Library upon installation. The App Library is an app drawer, which is always your rightmost homescreen pane. For example, if you have a Home widget, you can turn on/off devices straight from the widget. The widgets are now interactive - you can tap on some of them and change things without going into the app. You can stack widgets of the same size on top of one another, and, optionally, they can rotate automatically. There are three widget sizes supported by iOS - 2x2, 4x2, and 4x4. Widgets can be placed on any of the homescreens and the Today page and coexist with app icons. And you can create and automate your own, of course. There are different Focus modes like Work, Personal, Driving, Gaming, Do Not Disturb, among others, highly customizable at that. And in addition to all other ways of switching between Focuses, now switching between lockscreens also changes the Focus mode. The Focus functionality is here to stay - you can assign a Focus mode on each lockscreen preset you create. You can't opt out of Today and App Library, though. You can hide specific homescreens - you may have a page that's full of games and hide it when at work or hide a page of work/school apps when on vacation. There are two specific screens - the leftmost is the Today page, while the rightmost page - App Library. Your apps usually populate the homescreen(s) and widgets. You can also pair your homescreen look with the lockscreen and change both in one go. This way, you can easily change the look of the homescreen/notification center depending on your mood or work. The neat thing is that you can build a couple of different lockscreens and switch them on the go (tap and hold, then swipe). There can't be more than one row of widgets. You can customize your lockscreen by picking from some cool wallpapers and adding a row of widgets (up to four). ![]() You can get past the lockscreen via Face ID or PIN if you've opted for secure unlock. There is also a Night version with red colors. It is sort of a landscape Always-on with a bigger clock and calendar. It activates during charging when the phone is put into landscape orientation. Hence, in typical Apple fashion, you don't even get the option to decide for yourself.Īt least the new optional Standby mode is present on the iPhone 15 Plus. Apple apparently deemed always-on display at 60Hz too wasteful towards the battery. While it does have an OLED display, it can't toggle its refresh rate down to 1Hz like the Pro models can. The lockscreen on iOS 17 follows a familiar logic - it's one with the Notification Center and houses your notifications (privacy options are available), plus shortcuts for the torch and the camera.ĭon't bother looking for an always-on display option on the iPhone 15 Plus, though. Overall, the UI is still based on homescreens populated with apps and widgets, App Library for your less important apps, and Notification and Control Centers. Notably, the Pro models have the new Action key instead of the traditional alert slider, which necessitated a new customization interface. Naturally, it is almost identical to that of the Pro models, but there are some differences for once. Let's take a closer look at the iPhone 15 Plus' iOS 17 now. It brings a new Standby mode, highly customizable Contact Posters, Password sharing with friends, offline maps in Maps, updated Messages with automatic SMS code deletion, and interactive widgets. The new iOS version may be the most insignificant update ever, no matter what Apple may try to sell you. All new iPhones come with Apple's iOS 17 out of the box. ![]()
