However, this feature won't be included in iOS 17, so users will need to go through some additional steps to use it.
Apple has introduced the DockKit framework, which allows the iPhone to be converted into a camera for tracking pets.

However, it requires the purchase of a motorized stand.
With DockKit, users can capture photos and videos on their iPhones while it is mounted on the stand.
It includes the Animal Body Pose API technology for tracking and identifying animal poses.
According to the company, developers can use the framework to create real-time applications that automatically identify and track objects within a 360-degree radius.
The solution also enables control over the movement of the stand, allowing users to monitor other objects.
Apple emphasizes that pet tracking is not an official feature included in the iOS 17 update.
The company has only provided the necessary tools for creating and launching such cameras based on the iPhone.
More details will be revealed in the coming days.
It is worth noting that Apple introduced rotating holders for the iPhone back in 2011, but they never became part of the company's signature ecosystem.
