The iPadOS 17 system was released at the WWDC23 conference in June, and the latest news says that the system will bring more lock screen customization features to iPad users. These features have been provided to iPhone users in the iOS 16 system released in September last year, but iPad users have not been able to enjoy them.
According to Twitter user @analyst941, iPadOS 17 will include the following lock screen customization options:
lock screen widget
Preset wallpaper templates
Color adjustments, filters, and Picture Styles
wallpaper depth effect
Clock style customization
Wallpapers based on focus mode

It is noticed that @analyst941 had previously accurately predicted the Smart Island function of the iPhone 14 Pro, so its revelations have a certain degree of credibility. However, he also said that the iPhone 15 Pro will use new solid-state buttons, and later changed his words to say that the feature will be postponed to next year’s Pro models.
Whether iPadOS 17 will really bring these lock screen customization features, we still have to wait until the WWDC23 conference to reveal the answer. According to previous news, the system may drop support for the first-generation 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the fifth-generation iPad.
