Apple’s Plan for Your Laziness – iOS 17 features Dawn or Dusk?
Hello, folks! We’ve got some juicy tidbits about Apple’s latest experiment in technology. This is something that we’ve lovingly named “iDawn” (and by ‘we,’ I mean me, sitting in my mom’s basement with a half-eaten sandwich). Ready for the IOS 17 features? Let’s dive in!
The tech overlords at Apple are working on a new feature for their upcoming iOS 17. According to Bloomberg Mark Gurman, codenamed “Dawn”. But considering the direction we’re headed with our screen addiction. Should we be calling it ‘Dusk’ instead? After all, with this update, our iPhones are set to become even more of a distraction, if that’s even possible!
Here’s the gist: Apple plans to turn your iPhone into a smart-home display when it’s lying flat. This means that while you’re trying to focus on that boring conference call. You can get distracted by weather updates, calendar appointments, and a flurry of notifications. Goodbye productivity, we barely knew thee.
The Lazy Person’s Dream: Glance at Your Phone for Insignificant Details
For those too lazy to pick up their phones (guilty as charged), this feature is a dream come true. You can simply glance sideways at your device, now turned into a mini-billboard, flashing your life’s insignificant details. Oh, and it apparently will use a dark background with bright text for ease of reading. Because nothing says “I am working” like squinting at your phone lying flat on your desk!
Apple’s grand idea doesn’t stop at iPhones, though. They’re planning a similar feature for iPads and exploring the idea of a low-cost tablet that magnetically sticks to your wall. Because who needs paintings or family photos when you can have a live feed of your emails instead?
Apple’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man of Technology
The upcoming software also includes significant changes to the Wallet app. Which let’s face it, is mostly full of expired coupons anyway. And if your social life wasn’t already suffering, there’s also a new journaling app in the works for taking notes and adding a ‘stronger social element’ to your device. Who needs real friends when you can have a digital diary?
Apple hasn’t confirmed any of this, but let’s be real – it sounds just like something they’d do. Apple’s always been the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man of technology. They are always ready to save us from the horrendous inconvenience of…uh…picking up our phones.
So, is this Dawn or Dusk for Apple users? Well, I’ll let you decide while I casually check my iPhone lying flat on my desk.
(And don’t worry, I’ll be sure to update you on how many times I get distracted while writing the next blog post on the new iOS 17. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!)
Until then, keep your phones closed, and your distractions closer!
