The iOS 17 public beta launched in mid July, and since its release, I’ve been experimenting with some of my favorite iOS 17 features, particularly Standby Mode. This cool new perk transforms your iPhone into a smart display, squeezing out more usefulness out of your device — even when you’re not engaging with it.
However, if you haven’t whipped out a sleek, swanky stand to support your iPhone during Standby Mode, you’re not using the feature correctly. After all, one of the key advantages of Standby Mode is that it allows your iPhone to double as eye-catching tech décor. In other words, your iPhone will look better than ever on your nightstand, fireplace mantle, or wherever you choose to station it while it’s charging.
