iMessage has new features that make communication easier and more enjoyable. Apple cleaned up iMessage apps by moving them into an expandable menu. It'll show your most used apps first. Search filters get more refined to help you find what you need quickly and accurately. 

There's also a new catch-up arrow that lets you jump to the first unread message in a conversation. Inline replies are also just a swipe away. As for live location updates and audio message transcriptions, you can access that within the chat.

Apple has discontinued support for iPhones X, 8, and 8 Plus in iOS 17, ending the hopes of many users who wanted to keep their 2017 models updated for another year. While iOS 16 dropped all devices older than the iPhone 7 and the first-gen iPhone SE, this is the latest crop of older iPhone devices to get the boot. Similarly, iPadOS 17 will no longer support the first-gen iPad Pro and fifth-gen iPad from its support list.

StandBy is a new feature that lets you use your iPhone as a smart display when it is charging on its side. You can customize StandBy to show different clock styles, photos, or widgets relevant to the time and place. You can also interact with StandBy using Live Activities, Siri, calls, and notifications, all designed to be easy to see and use from a distance. At night, it switches to a red tone so it won't disrupt your sleep. It is easy to bring up StandBy anytime by tapping the screen, and on iPhone 14 Pro with the Always-On display, it is always available.
