What to Expect in iOS 17: Lock Screen, Apple Music, App Library, and Control Center Updates

Apple’s iOS 17 is set to include a variety of new features and changes across the Lock Screen, Apple Music, App Library, and Control Center. According to a Weibo post from the same account that accurately leaked the iPhone 14 in Yellow, potential iOS 17 features include font size options for the Lock Screen, a button to share custom Lock Screen designs with other iPhone users, viewing Apple Music lyrics on the Lock Screen, simplified Apple Music design changes, manually renaming App Library folders, Control Center design changes, and a flashlight brightness slider that can be freely adjusted like the volume slider. While these changes may not be groundbreaking, they will still bring meaningful improvements to Apple’s iOS. Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 during its WWDC keynote on June 5, with the first beta version being made available to developers moments after the keynote. A public beta is likely to be available in July, with the update widely released in September around the time of new iPhone launches. Overall, iOS 17 is positioned to be a modest update that focuses on stability and performance enhancements.
