Apple plans to turn locked iPhones into smart displays with iOS 17

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:34:12 GMT

By Mark Gurman | BloombergApple Inc. is planning a new interface for iPhones that shows information such as calendar appointments, the weather and notifications in the style of a smart-home display, part of a flurry of new features coming in its iOS 17 software update.The view will appear when an iPhone is locked and positioned horizontally, operating similarly to dedicated displays offered by Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc., according to people familiar with the project. The idea is to make iPhones more useful when they’re, for example, lying on a person’s desk or nightstand.The move is part of a broader push to embed live information in more parts of the company’s software — an approach that also includes the Apple Watch’s interface. The new view is one of several changes planned for iOS 17, codenamed Dawn, which will be released to consumers later in 2023.

Lena Gonzalez, D-Long Beach, cited research on how pollution from oil wells that leaks into the air, water and soil increases the risks that nearby residents might develop cancer, respiratory illnesses and birth defects. And it would have given the more than 1 million Californians who live within 3,200 feet o...
