iOS 17 Control Center 
Apple first introduced the Control Center in the iOS 7 and kept the same looks until iOS 11. Since iOS 11, we have not seen any notable changes till date. According to source, Apple will make a lot of changes to the Control Center in the iOS 17. It is rumored that Apple will redesign the control center and introduce more customizability. The source has also suggested that the iOS 17 will bring custom accessibility settings. This will allow for more control over the user interface of the iPhone.
The new mode will give users the flexibility of replacing the typical lock screen and home screen with more UI elements. Users can now have the option to remove the dock, set larger icons for apps and a lot more. Other changes that are possibly coming with the iOS 17 include additional notifications settings, more focus filters, car key improvements, updates to the camera app, Health apps etc.
The source has also made some bold claim about the iOS 17. He says that Apple will focus mainly on improving the stability and performance of the iOS. For this reason, there is a very high possibility that the new OS will support devices like the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and the iPhone X. Previously, we reported that the iOS 17 will ditch these devices. However, the leaker has claimed that these phones may still get the next update.
