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.

This iOS 17 feature will make it easy to avoid spam calls

Live Voicemail is a new iOS 17 feature that lets you see live transcriptions of voicemails as they are being left by callers. You don’t have to answer calls from unknown numbers—the phone will do it for you and show you what the caller is saying in text form. You can then decide if you want to pick up the call or not. Spam calls detected by carriers are automatically rejected and won’t appear as Live Voicemail. Apple claims the transcription is done by the Neural Engine on your device, so it’s fast, accurate, and private.
