Apple begins distributing iOS 17… What has changed < Information Media < Text of article

[디지털투데이 황치규 기자]Apple will update iOS 17 for the iPhone XS and subsequent models on the 18th (local time).

iOS17 provides new experiences such as updates to communication apps, easier sharing using AirDrop, and smarter text input. According to the company, iOS 17 allows users to leave video and voice messages through FaceTime. If the other person does not answer your FaceTime call, you can share what you wanted to say by leaving a video or voice message. You can record video messages using the front or rear camera and use video effects.

The sticker experience has also been refreshed. Users can create live stickers by tapping on objects such as people, animals, or objects in a photo to separate them. Apple explained that this allows users to collect all of their stickers in one place, including live stickers, Memoji, Animoji, emoji stickers, and third-party sticker packs.

NameDrop is a new AirDrop sharing method that allows you to share contact information by bringing your iPhone close to each other or bringing your iPhone and Apple Watch together. Each time you share, a username and contact poster is automatically sent, and you can select the contacts or email addresses you want to share with it. You can share contacts using AirDrop or start SharePlay to listen to music, watch movies, and play games together, Apple said.

In addition, iOS17 also updated the auto-correction function. The company explains that the auto-correction function corrects errors more accurately by utilizing new language models for the English, French, and Spanish keyboards.

The standby function provides a screen experience where various information can be viewed at a glance even when the iPhone is placed horizontally and charging from a short distance away. Starting on the 18th, Apple users can subscribe to the new iCloud Plus plan for 6TB for 44,000 won per month and 12TB for 88,000 won per month. Apple explained that these plans are suitable for the 48-megapixel main camera function installed in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, which enhances the iPhone camera experience with high-definition photos and 4K video.

Along with software updates to iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10, new health features such as mental health and vision health were introduced to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
