Apple announced the new version of the iPhone operating system, iOS 17, at the WWDC 23 event it held last week. New features include mainly NameDrop, StandBy mode, more Lock Screen customization options and improved smart keyboard. However, not all of these features will come to all iPhone models supported by iOS 17. Here are the iOS 17 features that will come to old iPhone models…
iOS 17 features coming to old iPhone models!
First of all, it should be noted that the iOS 17 operating system will not come to all current devices. Because the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X, which represents the birth of the notched design using the same processor, will continue to remain in the iOS 16 version.
However, Apple’s record-breaking iPhone 11 series and all models released after will receive iOS 17 and many features that come with it. However, there will not be some innovations that we will see in the iPhone 15s due to the screen, processor and design differences between the devices. They will still support everything we see at WWDC, though. Here are the iOS 17 features that will come to old iPhone models!
Live voice messages
Live Voicemails are changing the way users interact with Visual Voicemail, allowing them to access messages from the messaging list to emails without having to dial a number. With iOS 17, voice messages are transcribed in real time on the Lock Screen. However, although this feature will work with any iPhone running iOS 17, it will initially only be available in the US and Canada.
3D reactions on FaceTime
FaceTime brings many new features with iOS 17. For example, users will be able to leave a video message, such as a voicemail, when someone calls. There are also new 3D responses that detect your hand movements and display effects such as hearts, confetti and fireworks. For this, iPhone 12 or a newer model is needed.
FaceTime on Apple TV
With iOS 17 and tvOS 17, users will be able to initiate FaceTime calls on the big screen by connecting their iPhone to Apple TV wirelessly. This feature will come to all iPhone models that support iOS 17. However, you must have a second generation (2021) Apple TV 4K or newer.
