When your iPhone is in landscape orientation and put on a charging stand, the new Standby orientation feature in iOS 17 converts it into a digital bedside display.
At WWDC 2023 earlier this year, Apple unveiled iOS 17, which has a number of intriguing new features. An enhanced reminders feature, reacting with your hands in FaceTime, discovering recipes from a photo, sharing location in the iMessage app, a new sticker drawer, and NameDrop for contacts are just a few of the intriguing iOS 17 features.
The company’s future feature also has a function dubbed “Standby Mode” that, when activated when the iPhone is put on a charging stand in landscape position, transforms the screen into a digital bedside display. The Standby Mode on the iPhone may be used to display widgets, photographs, and the clock, as well as to listen to podcasts and music.
