This is a welcome change! Hopefully now Standby mode will actually be useful as a nightstand clock. It only took Apple well over a year to realize that some folks wanted the ability to set the "Always on Display" to actually stay always on...
Got a tip for us?

Much better for me then 17.0.2 ,,public version destroyed my battery like russian tank 😂
Edit - StandBy made it through the night. 10/4-5/23 PDT
StandBy quit working during the night on my 14 Pro - pressing the side button woke up the phone, but I had to remove the phone from the charger and replace it to restart StandBy.

The included cable is power and data, blogs can call it just a power cable because it’s just 2.0 so it’s not ideal to transfer larger amounts of files.
Also all USBC cables has data capabilties just the regular iphone 15 in just 2.o the cable it comes will still transfer just not fast
USB-C port
On the iPhone 15 Pro models, however, the USB-C port supports faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s, provided you're using the right cable. The USB-C cable included with iPhone 15 Pro models supports USB 2 speeds, so a higher-spec cable is needed for faster
Full-featured USB-C cables that implement USB 3.1 Gen 2 can handle up to 10 Gbit/s data rate at full duplex. They are marked with a SuperSpeed+ (SuperSpeed 10 Gbit/s) logo. There are also cables which can carry only USB 2.0 with up to 480 Mbit/s data rate.
Is anyone having issues with getting their local music libraries on their phones after going to 17.1?
My phone is now committed to cloud music and no matter what I do, I cannot change that. I've been on the phone with two Apple techs doing screen shares (Mac and iPhone) and there is nothing that they could do either.
One of them (nice as she was) was pretty insistent that that's "the way it is now" — your local library is to sync with Apple Music (the service) and if you want to listen to your stuff, you're gonna have to stream it. Now I know that's not the case. At least I hope it's not. I've got a lifetime's worth of music-- a library that I've curated exactly as I want it to be. But I don't have access to that library on my iPhone now.
I wonder if I can access an old iPhone backup (pre 17 beta) via Time Machine? Has anyone looked into that?

I have an XR (no always on display) and standby wakes with motion or bumping the phone or nightstand. Plugged in and resting on a stand (no wireless charging). Not had an issue with it.
And share your experienceLOL
Thanks a lot for the info … install 17.1 dev. beta 2 today.
I haven’t loaded this round of betas but did get a message in feedback to a request say ing there has been changes.
Can someone confirm if this has been implemented?
Request:
When adding a photo shuffle to the Lock Screen editor you should be able to select an album that automatically adds all photos in the album to the Lock Screen.
Thanks.

There’s an install guide at the top of page 1 which might help your situation as you will know exactly what you want to do and the right outcome for your phone.
Otherwise I have a million questions to ask you to then safely give you a correct response to help.
Install the beta if you’re not experiencing the “overheating”, otherwise give the 17.0.3 a try. This beta may not have the fix but subsequent beta should include it eventually.
so I download the file click option and restore and select the file? I don't mind if I completely wipe the phone. everything is in iCloud.
The fallback method, which generally works, hasn't been working for many of us trying to get back to a non-beta release.
