StandBy is a new feature that lets you use your iPhone as a smart display when it is charging on its side. You can customize StandBy to show different clock styles, photos, or widgets relevant to the time and place. You can also interact with StandBy using Live Activities, Siri, calls, and notifications, all designed to be easy to see and use from a distance. At night, it switches to a red tone so it won't disrupt your sleep. It is easy to bring up StandBy anytime by tapping the screen, and on iPhone 14 Pro with the Always-On display, it is always available.

Two new iOS 17 features will make calling and sharing contacts more fun and convenient. Contact Posters let you customize how your contact card looks when you call someone, with options to add photos, Memoji, and stylish fonts. It reminds us of the lock screen revamp Apple has done to the iPhone. The Contact Posters also work with third-party apps and show up on the lock screen of the person you’re calling. 

Meanwhile, NameDrop lets you easily exchange contact information with another iPhone or Apple Watch user by tapping your devices together. This'll be a convenient way to pass around a digital calling card. You can choose what details to share, and your Contact Poster will be sent along with them.
