Apple announced the rollout of iOS 17 for beta developers at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event on June 5. Apple iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 are bringing a new feature - Screen Distance - that will protect users’ eyes when the phone screen is held too close, as per reports.
The company claims that the opt-in feature is designed to lower the risk of nearsightedness and any form of risk to the eyes in users.
Screen Distance feature is integrated with a TrueDepth camera that powers Face ID to measure the distance between the screen and users’ eyes. The feature will send prompt alerts to users to move their device farther away if they are holding their device too close, more than 12 inches (30 cm).
