In the beta version of the long-awaited iOS 17, it is now possible to observe this new arrangement of icons. Currently, the “contacts”, “keyboard”, “speaker”, “mute”, “FaceTime” and “add” buttons occupy the central strip of the screen, while the power off button is located at the bottom.

One of the motivations for this change could be the introduction of the “Contact Poster” feature, a functionality that displays the contact’s photo occupying the entire background of the screen instead of a simple dark background. Therefore, harmonizing icons becomes crucial to maintain a more pleasant and functional visual aesthetic.

In turn, the new button arrangement may initially seem somewhat unexpected to users accustomed to the previous arrangement. However, the Apple believes that the adaptation curve will not be difficult to overcome for those who already know the iOS operating system.

While Apple has yet to provide an official confirmation on the iOS 17 release date, it’s reasonable to expect the company to follow its usual pattern, releasing it between the third and fourth quarter of the year, alongside the equally anticipated iPhone 15.

It turns out that, in fact, Apple’s next generation of smartphones is generating a lot of speculation. Rumors suggest significant changes to the devices, such as the adoption of the USB-C port to replace the Lightning standard, processing options that can reach 2 TB and, consequently, a higher price.

It is estimated that the value can reach almost R$ 20 thousand in the national market, which indicates the company’s commitment to offering cutting-edge resources to users willing to invest in technology state-of-the-art. As Apple continues to innovate in terms of both software and hardware, iOS 17 promises to be another step in evolution.
