iOS 17 Concept Design Shows Landscape Mode and Split-Screen Multitasking on iPhone
Apple is set to announce its forthcoming updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and more at its WWDC 2023 event on June 5. Apart from software updates, the company is rumored to have a few surprises in store, including the larger 15-inch MacBook Air. However, the highlight of the event will be the company’s iOS 17 update for the iPhone. Although it’s not clear what iOS 17 will bring to the table, a new iOS 17 concept from Basic Appe Guy imagines Landscape mode and Split Screen multitasking on the iPhone.
The concept designer shows how Apple could potentially make use of the larger display on bigger iPhone models to offer Landscape mode and Split Screen multitasking. The iOS 17 concept shows how one app takes half of the screen while the second half handles video playback. Additionally, any other apps can be opened, allowing users to operate two apps simultaneously. The Split Screen multitasking interface would remain the same but can be used in portrait as well as Landscape orientation.
The designer also envisages Landscape mode in the latest iOS 17 concept, showcasing what it would be like to use the platform sideways. While iOS did feature Landscape mode, the feature was removed with the launch of the iPhone X, which housed the biggest display on any iPhone back when it made its debut.
Landscape mode on iOS 17 would be a handy feature for users who dock their iPhones while working. Widgets are arranged neatly and work the same way as they would in portrait orientation, while the apps maintain the same layout, with the dock rotating apps in the same order.
While the concept is neat, there are no concrete details if Apple is indeed working on these features. Therefore, it’s best to take the news with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, iOS 17 will be a major update considering the number of features it will bring to the table. One of the significant changes is the revamped Control Center and fresh Apple apps, including the Journal app. WatchOS 10 is also expected to become the biggest update since the debut of the Apple Watch.
Overall, Apple’s iOS 17 update has generated considerable buzz among users, who are eagerly waiting to see what new features the company will offer. The WWDC 2023 event is expected to be a significant one, with plenty of surprises in store. Stay tuned to Pokde.net for extensive coverage of the event.
Pokdepinion: This is actually pretty neat. Kind of hoping to see something like this later at WWDC 2023, though I wouldn’t put my hopes up just for it.
