Apple has announced StandBy — a new feature that turns the iPhone into a sort of smart display when it’s docked on its side. The company announced this new trick onstage at WWDC 2023 while debuting iOS 17, which is expected to arrive this fall. StandBy comes with iOS 17 and kicks in automatically when your iPhone is charging and horizontal. It’s designed to be seen from a distance and can display the time, Apple Home controls, the weather, Apple app smart stacks, and other features. At night, StandBy adapts the screen to lowlight, taking on a red tone to help you sleep.Apple says StandBy will auto-surface the right info at the right time, such as showing you your schedule before your meeting starts.
Interactive widgets are coming to the iPad, including the Apple Home widget, where you can tap to turn lights and off.There was no mention of StandBy coming to the iPad, where it would be really effective as a smart display. But Apple did announce it’s bringing interactive widgets to the iPad — saying you can now control things like smart lights directly from the Apple Home widget on the iPad.
