Live Speech offers a way for people who can't speak to have their words spoken in person or on the phone. Accessibility updates: There's a new feature called Assistive Access, which adds a customizable interface to make the iPhone easier to use for people with cognitive disabilities.You can now save an area of a map to your device and use it when you don't have an internet connection, including turn-by-turn navigation. Offline maps: Google Maps has had it for years, but Apple has finally caught up.CarPlay gets SharePlay: On a road trip? If the car has CarPlay and everyone inside has an iPhone, anyone can control the playlist.

Also new is the ability to tap the stem of the AirPods Pro (first and second generation), AirPods (3rd gen), and the Digital Crown on AirPods Max during a call to mute and unmute. If you start speaking, Conversation Awareness will automatically lower the media volume, reduce background noise, and enhance the voices in front of you. This is a blend of Apple's Transparency mode and Active Noise Cancellation, so you can block out annoying sounds but hear important ones. Adaptive Audio: If you have the second-generation AirPods Pro, there's a new listening mode called Adaptive Audio.There are quite a number of small improvements worth noting: When you head to Settings > StandBy > Display, you can choose between Automatically, which will turn the display off when the iPhone isn't in use and the room is dark, After 20 Seconds, or Never. The latest update adds a bit more customization. Prior to iOS 17.1, anyone using an iPhone with an Always-On Display (iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max) would have to tap the screen whenever they want to turn the feature off. Be sure to check out our Best Apple 3-in-1 Chargers guide if you want to take advantage of this feature. If you specifically place it on a MagSafe charger, your iPhone will remember your preferred view. You can have it show the clock (with different clock designs available), photos from your library, or interactive widgets. This enables any iPhone to turn into a more useful display while charging in landscape mode. Apple is going even further with StandBy. Google Pixel phones have a feature that turns them into a smart display when placed on one of Google's own wireless chargers.
