With a tap, your cycling workout can now take over the entire display-nice for people who like to attach their phone to their handlebars. You can now sub your iPhone for your specialized cycling computer, since the device can now connect to Bluetooth-enabled accessories like speed and cadence sensors. WatchOS will continue its focus on health, and especially cycling features. And because it’s WWDC, it’s also time for new watch faces, like a Snoopy and Woodstock face where Snoopy catches Frisbees once you’ve started your daily Frisbee workout. For example, you can now scroll through World Clock to see the best time to call your friend in Tokyo or London. The design of key apps has also been updated. Machine learning will identify which widgets are the most relevant at different times based on your location, your calendar, and other factors. With WatchOS 10, you can now twist the crown to reveal your most useful widgets and notifications. The Apple Watch is the best-selling wearable computer, but that small screen has always been a little difficult to navigate. With WatchOS 10, you'll see a short stack of relevant widgets when you twist the watch's crown. Stay tuned, as we’ll be looking at all the new top features in iOS 17 soon. Arguably the best feature, however, is that the Photos app can now recognize your furry friends. You no longer need to say “Hey,” and you don’t need to repeat “Hey Siri,” when you’re making back-to-back commands. Other important improvements include changes to Autocorrect to make it more accurate than ever, as it can fix more types of grammatical errors and even offer predictions inline as you type (like Google’s Smart Compose in Gmail). You can cycle through widgets in this mode, along with clock designs and live activities, and even show off your photos. Also new is Standby, which turns your iPhone into a smart display of sorts when you put it in landscape mode on your bedside table or desk. It will prompt you to make new entries based on what you’ve been interacting with on your phone recently, whether it’s a podcast you listened to or some photos you shot. There’s a new Journal app coming to iOS this year it encourages you to string together some words about your day. A new feature called Check In lets you share your location and battery status with a friend or family member and sends them an alert when you arrive home safely-or diverge from the route. There are similar small upgrades in Apple’s Messages app, like the ability to swipe to reply inline, see audio message transcriptions under the message, and use inline location tracking. Speaking of which, you can finally leave a message in FaceTime if the person you’re calling doesn’t answer. If the content is important, you can answer the call as they’re leaving a voicemail. (Remember those?) Now, when someone’s calling, you can tap the voicemail button and see their transcription in real time. There are a few nice changes to phone calls.
