Apple fans, mark your calendars! WWDC 2023 is set to take place in June, and it’s expected to bring some exciting announcements about iOS 17. One of the most intriguing rumors so far is that iOS 17 may introduce a redesigned Control Center, which would be the first major change to the feature since iOS 11.
iOS 17: Details
According to an anonymous leaker, who previously shared information about the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island, iOS 17 will feature performance and stability upgrades and a revamped Control Center. Although the leaker didn’t provide any specific details about the redesign, it’s safe to assume that the new Control Center will likely offer new functionalities and a refreshed look.
Since its introduction with iOS 7, the Control Center has become a beloved feature among Apple users. With a simple swipe down (or up, depending on your device), you can quickly adjust Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, brightness, and volume. You can also access additional functionalities like Focus, Flashlight, and Screen Recording and customize the Control Center to add more features.

However, after over five years since its last major update, iOS 17 could finally bring much-needed changes to the Control Center. It could enhance the overall user experience and make the feature more convenient and easy to use.
In addition to the rumored Control Center redesign, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hinted that iOS 17 would bring some other “nice-to-have” features. Although we don’t have any specific details on these features, it’s always exciting to speculate about potential new functionalities.
Of course, as with any rumor, it’s best to take this information with a grain of salt until we hear something official from Apple. It’s also worth noting that the leaker suggested that some older devices, like the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, may not be compatible with iOS 17, while certain iPad models may not get iPadOS 17.
With all this in mind, it’s still too early to say what iOS17 will bring. We’ll have to wait until WWDC 2023 to get the full scoop. However, if the Control Center redesign does come to fruition, it could be a major highlight for iOS 17 that many Apple users will surely appreciate.
