It took me 8 months to try out this fantastic iOS 17 feature

It has taken me quite a while, but I’ve recently had a chance to try out a feature in iOS 17 that, until now, I had forgotten even existed. I’m talking about StandBy mode, and I feel a bit silly for having passed it by for so long, as it’s really good.

Related Like many of the best iPhone and Apple Watch features, it activates automatically when the conditions are right. In this case, the phone needs to be placed on a charging stand so it’s angled and upright and in landscape rather than lying flat on a surface. Provided the phone is locked, Standby activates immediately, and if it’s in a dark environment, the display glows red, just like the special Night Mode on the Apple Watch Ultra 2’s Wayfinder and Modular Ultra watch faces.

Anker’s charging dock I’ve used various charging docks for the iPhone and Apple Watch over the years, but many are quite big, or in some cases, the charging block or system generates some unwanted noise from the electricity flow or a fan. These irritations soon stopped me from using them. The Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station is very compact and, so far, completely silent, making it ideal for a small bedside table.

What it’s like using StandBy mode The Anker charging dock introduced me to StandBy mode. It was a happy coincidence, too, as StandBy is on by default in iOS, so it popped to life once my docked phone locked itself. I don’t need notifications or my calendar view overnight, so I’ve stuck with the map-style option that takes up the entire screen. It’s just bright enough in Night Mode to see the time, but not so much that it lights up the entire room with a spooky red glow.
