And Bloomberg said on May 24th local time, 'Apple is launching a new interface for the iPhone that displays information such as calendar events, weather and notifications in the style of a smart home display, one of the new features included in the iOS 17 software update. We are planning as part of it.'
The new interface appears when the iPhone is locked and placed horizontally, and according to people familiar with the project, the concept is 'to make the iPhone more useful when placed horizontally on a desk or nightstand.' That's right. ``This move is part of Apple's broader push to embed live information in a wider range of software, an approach that includes the Apple Watch's new interface,'' Bloomberg said.

A person who spoke to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity said the iPhone's new interface uses bright text on a dark background to improve legibility.
Apple will announce iOS 17 at its annual developer conference ` ` WWDC 2023 '' scheduled to be held on June 5, 2023 local time, and will release it to consumers in the second half of 2023. Bloomberg reached out to Apple for comment, but a spokesperson declined to comment on plans for iOS 17.
Bloomberg predicts that while Apple is working on a new horizontal interface not only for the iPhone but also for the iPad, changes will be made to the iPad later than the iPhone. Apple is also exploring other ways to turn the device into a smart home display, such as a low-cost tablet that can be magnetically attached to a wall or stand.
It's unclear what the new iPhone interface will actually look like, but a few years ago, an image was created that predicted that 'the iPhone's nightstand mode would look like this.' It may look similar to this.
Curious how they'll pitch this. You're gonna want some sort of stand for it. Guessing they're working with Belkin on new stands or even on their own vertical MagSafe stand?

A lock screen smart display like mode coming with iOS 17. That sounds like the Google Pixel Stand but doesn't require Apple hardware. That would be great! https://t.co/6GJXYwGaEA pic.twitter.com/pml4h1LSgD
