Here are the iOS 17 features Apple didn’t announce on stage

Apple’s toptechtrends.com/2023/06/05/apple-headset/”>Vision Pro headset dominated the headlines at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) event on Monday. But Apple is also going to launch a major update to iOS later this year. The upcoming toptechtrends.com/2023/06/05/with-ios-17-apple-introduces-new-journaling-app-refreshes-communciation-apps/”>iOS 17 update will introduce many “nice-to-have” features like personalized call poster, StandBy mode, live voicemail, and improved sticker experience.

And Apple didn’t mention many of the new iOS features on stage due to lack of time. Here is the list of things that didn’t make it to the keynote:

  • Apple is building on its computer vision prowess by introducing recipe search with iOS 17. Users will be able to tap on toptechtrends.com/2023/06/05/ios-17-can-suggest-recipes-for-similar-dishes-from-a-photo-on-your-iphone/”>a food item in an image and search for similar recipes.
