The upcoming Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 is set to take place on June 5th, and the highly anticipated announcement of iOS 17 is expected to take place during the event. Leaks suggest that Apple’s latest operating system for the iPhone will bring significant changes to the company’s apps and wallpapers, among other updates.
According to tipster @analyst941, iOS 17 will introduce a new grid view for wallpapers. Users will be able to quickly delete wallpapers, rearrange their order, and share or duplicate them with ease. The new grid view will display 9+ wallpapers at once, allowing for greater customization and personalization.
Meanwhile, Wallet is also set to undergo significant changes, with a new layout featuring a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen to enable iPhone owners to easily access their cards, cash, keys, IDs and orders. Apple is embracing a grid layout for health metrics, making it easier for users to track their progress towards their fitness goals.
Beyond these updates, iOS 17 is also expected to bring changes to the Control Center, making it more customizable and allowing users to select what’s shown with greater granularity. The Dynamic Island feature, which was introduced in 2022 with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, is set to become more useful with additional functionality – making Siri less obtrusive when activated. Finally, Apple is testing an active widget experience for the Home Screen and Today View, although it’s unclear whether this will be included in iOS 17.
Overall, iOS 17 is shaping up to be a significant update for the iPhone’s operating system, with many exciting features to enhance the user experience. Keep an eye out for further updates at the WWDC 2023 event.
