As we approach WWDC 2023, more and more iOS 17 details have started to emerge. We recently got a glimpse of what iOS 17's lock screen changes will look like, and now have information about the interesting new features we're likely to see next month. Here's what you can expect.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has provided details on the upcoming iOS 17 features. And what can catch anyone's attention is the smart display feature. This will essentially convert the locked iPhone screen into a smart display to show relevant information like notifications, weather updates and more in a much more accessible way.
The intention is to make the iPhone "more useful" when it doesn't really do anything. This will mimic what Google's Nest display and Amazon's Echo displays offer. But there will be some conditions. Firstly, this will work in landscape mode and will use the Always-on-Display (AOD) feature. That means it will be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro models.
It is suggested that the new smart display feature will display information in bright colors against a black background to make details more prominent. It will be an extension of the lock screen widgets introduced with iOS 16.
