Apple has introduced a new "screen distance" feature in its iOS 17 to promote healthier screen use. The feature tells users when they're holding their device too close to their face. So when Apple announced a new "screen distance" feature for iPhones last month, I was immediately intrigued. It's supposed to help combat eye strain and promote healthier viewing habits, alerting you when you're holding your device too close to your face. Click on "Screen Distance" and turn the feature on.
