APPLE has already been the subject of multiple leaks ahead of the introduction of the next generation iOS 17 as well as a few highly anticipated gadgets at its developer conference, WWDC 2023. Apple is expected to issue a software update with a bevy of new add-ons to make it easier for customers to conduct day-to-day operations while also upgrading the user interface for iPhone users, as it does every year.

According to a report Apple plans to send out the features and add-ons listed below to all iOS 17 eligible iPhones.

1. Journaling App:

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the company is already in plans to introduce a journal application which is currently codenamed Jurassic. The application will reportedly be a pre-installed application and will be a mental health tool that can help users with depression and anxiety. The report further suggests that it would help you plan what your day looks like and even remember the special days.

2. Health Upgrades:

Apple is already one of the pioneers in health applications and gadgets and is now expected to roll out a few add-ons including the AI-powered health coaching services and is currently codenamed Quartz.

Further, the company is also expected to roll out a mood and emotion tracker which would let the user track their current mood with speech and words the user would use.

Additionally, there are reports that suggest Apple would roll out its Health application to iPad as a part of iPadOS 17.

3. New App Store:

One of the first rumour which suggested that Apple may allow side-loading is one of the major updates that Apple may bring with iOS 17. As per EU law, Apple is expected to bring the side-loading option with which the users can install the application from other sources as well. However, it might come up with a threat to privacy as it would be opening up the device to a lot of viruses on the internet.

4. Apple Watch May Connect With More Than One Device:

With the forthcoming iOS 17 and WatchOS 10, Apple Watch, which is now designed to pair with only one Apple device, may be able to connect with many devices. However, it remains unclear how Apple will be able to do so.

5. Apple Library:

Customizable categories may be added to the Apple Library, which debuted with iOS 14. It was previously restricted, but according to the source, Apple may allow users to tailor their libraries with iOS17.

6. Share Lock Screen With A Friend:

According to the report, the company is also planning to introduce lock screen customisation with which the user can share the lock screen with their friends simply by replicating the wallpaper, emojis, colours, fonts, and widgets.

7. Custom Accessibility Mode:

According to the report, the new mode, which is scheduled to be released soon, would allow users to restrict their iPhones to fewer programs and less functionality, making it the ideal option for battery saving and parental controls.

8. Control Centre UI:

The company has not made any major changes to the control centre from iOS 11. However, the company is expected to make some changes now.

9. Apple Music Changes:

Apple Music is also getting a lot of focus from the company in the past few upgrades. As per a new report, the company is expected to roll out a new add-on using which the users would be able to view the screen lyrics directly on their iPhone’s lock screen. Additionally, the application will now focus on the new images and graphics more than the text.
