Apple is set to release the final version of iOS today, which will become accessible for iPhones around the world. This long-awaited update will be compatible with iPhones from the XS series or later and will bring a host of new features, including interactive small gadgets, Standby Mode, Contact Posters, and many more.

Beta testers had early access to iOS 17 and now the eagerly anticipated full version is set to be released to the general public. Several noteworthy features have generated excitement among users. For instance, FaceTime receives an upgrade enabling users to leave video voicemails. NameDrop facilitates contact sharing by simply bringing phones close together. Additionally, a new journal app is now available for the more literary and organized individuals.

Apple has also improved autocorrect to better understand user intentions, sparing them from accidentally typing "ducking" instead of another word, according to a report by Mashable India. A media report from USA Today suggests that the new StandBy mode update will be a convenient addition to iOS 17. After the update, your iPhone will turn into an Amazon or Google smart home display when placed on its side while charging, mentions the report.
