Will have to remember to put my phone on its charger horizontally tonight for standby mode! What a time to be alive.

Try it now, plug it in, rotate it for few seconds and watch it light up.

Bet you it runs faster though!

Safari is snappier.

What’s a good charger to do this?

I take it a one of them MagSafe stand type chargers will be needed so it’s a bit more secure when it’s on its side.

Both mine and the wife’s phone in standby are showing a time zone 8h behind. Very useful.

EDIT you have to edit the clock from standby to change the city, it defaults to Cupertino and doesn't follow the system time of the phone. Quite un-Apple like.

Find My on my iPhone 14 Pro has somehow lost all my AirTags during the update to iOS 17. When I open the app and go to items it displays 'Add Item' but no actual items.

It seems to have sorted itself overnight.

I'm on a 14 Pro and is it just me or is iOS17 super fast? Either they've changed the animations or it's a placebo but it's opening up apps quicker than before...

Mine definitely feels quicker.

Yeah the full release is a lot smoother than the beta.

Has anyone managed to get contact cards to work? Mine is setup yet still doesn't show when calling someone else and if they call me.

I think they have been successful in adding nothing major that interests me, most underwhelming OS change in a while

The bit I was looking forward to most is not coming until later on - the Journal app.

I use the Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe charger. They’re not cheap but it’s a decent charger.

So after using it for a few hours what are peoples views on iOS 17? Seems stable to me but there are not that many major changes I can see in my daily workflow. I think the macOS 14 update will have more of an impact on me on a day to day basis.

The biggest thing is the new AirPod Pro features. Conversation awareness is amazing.

Not noticed a difference yet apart from a new notification sound.

I put my phone on the charger horizontally last night next to my bed and it was showing me the time +5 hours lol, I was too tired to look into it.

Ah thanks!

That seems a weird thing, especially for Apple.

No doubt it'll be patched in the first update.

Don't LiE .

I like the new notification tones. Elegant.

oh Just noticed - new ringtones too.

Did the same to mine but the night stand clock doesn’t show, just shows my normal desktop?
