00:00 The next version of Apple's mobile platform is iOS 17.
00:03 It's gonna be coming out soon
00:04 alongside with the iPhone 15 later this fall.
00:07 And I'm gonna run through some of the coolest features
00:09 I've been checking out right now.
00:10 All right, so the first thing you gotta check out
00:12 is standby mode.
00:13 You have access to all these widgets.
00:15 You have a clock, one calendar,
00:16 you can customize it if there's even one for a photo shuffle.
00:19 And it's just a nice way of actually accessing
00:21 some of the features without actually using the phone.
00:24 Name drop, it's another cool feature
00:26 you gotta check out with iOS 17.
00:27 And it's also really simple because all you gotta do
00:30 is just place both phones next to each other.
00:32 You'll see this animation pop up,
00:34 and then from there, the information is exchanged.
00:37 So messages in iOS 17 is getting a subtle change
00:40 with the addition of live stickers.
00:42 Go to your gallery, from there,
00:44 you wanna just do a long press.
00:46 It's gonna isolate the subject.
00:47 You have the option there for adding a sticker.
00:49 It'll do that.
00:50 Once it's saved to the gallery,
00:51 you could pretty much use it everywhere.
00:53 You just go to stickers,
00:54 and then you could just choose your live sticker.
00:57 Here in iOS 17, Apple introduces video visual lookup.
01:00 Go to your photos app, and then from there,
01:03 as it's playing, you wanna pause at the exact location,
01:07 do a long press.
01:08 You can hit the option for lookup.
01:10 And then from there, it's gonna identify what it is
01:12 that you're trying to look up.
