Apple unveiled iPadOS 17 today at WWDC and will roll out the beta to developers immediately, looking forward to a public beta next month and a fall release for the masses.
The new iPadOS 17 gets the customizable lock screen, first introduced last year with iOS 16, which gives users the ability to customize the wallpaper, choose different widgets and play with font styles.
The lock screen will now also support live activity widgets: a food order, travel plans, or game achievements.
Apple has promised to improve Stage Manager, the feature that allows users to open multiple app windows at once, with more flexibility in resizing and positioning windows.
