The iPhone is more than just a phone nowadays. But, it is stilla phone. It's meant to make calls and send text messages.
And at WWDC 2023, Apple showed the company can still bring some big updates to those core features with its new iOS 17.

It's kind of like call screening but the transcription shows up in real-time on your iPhone screen as the caller is leaving their message. Users can choose to pick up the call while seeing the transcription come through – once they can confirm it's not spam or a telemarketer.

Contact Posters provides a full-screen, personalized, customizable design that users can create for individuals on their contact list. Fonts, photos, background colors, and more can all be changed around for each contact in your list.
The iPhone's Messages app is also getting some new features. First up, audio transcriptions for audio messages. Audio messages in the Messages app have become pretty popular over the years and this latest update will likely increase usage with those who may not have been sold before. It's exactly what it sounds like: Messages will now transcribe your audio messages in plain text, for moments where you can't listen to the audio.

Speaking of catching up, Messages will also have new search filters in iOS 17 in order to make it easier to find old messages that users might be looking for. There's also a new menu design in messages, so users can easily find their most used and favorite Message apps and widgets.

Using this feature, users can choose a live photo in Messages and it will automatically remove the photos background and turn this looping moving image into a Messages sticker that can be used right from the Stickers library any time.

Check-in will track a user's location in order to let friends and family know if they've arrived home or the location they're headed to. If a user suddenly stops progressing to their location, Check-in will automatically let friends and family know that too.
Phone and Messages apps might have received the biggest new updates, but there's some interesting upgrades for other core iPhone apps too.
With iOS 17, FaceTime can now leave video messages with callers who don't pick up their FaceTime call.

If large files, like a big photo album or video file is being shared, Airdrop will continue to transfer the files even if one of the iPhones move out of range. Share activity apps can also automatically link up via Airdrop now too. And a new Namedrop feature is coming alongside Airdrop which allows users to share specific contacts information such as phone numbers and email addresses.
