iPhone as a Desk Clock

With the new “Standby” view in iOS 17, you can now use your iPhone as a deskside clock.

Announced at Apple’s WWDC conference, the feature activates standby when you lay your iPhone on its side while it’s charging. Provides at-a-glance information such as time and incoming notifications via swipe-able widgets.

Apple didn’t say if Standby is a special exclusive feature of iPhone, but it’s probably more useful on the iPad’s larger screen. But either way, it seems like a smart move to take advantage of a device that was left on your desk.
