Apple is set to release iOS 17 later this month, featuring a new feature called Standby. Standby turns the iPhone into a smart display when it's locked and charging. Users can view widgets, photos, and other information on the screen. To enable Standby, the iPhone must be running iOS 17 and placed on a wireless charger. Users can customize Standby by choosing different widgets, rearranging them, and using their own photos. Standby also supports Siri, Live Activities, and notifications. Standby mode only works when the iPhone is locked and charging, in landscape orientation, and cannot be used for other purposes.
