5 Things we learned this month
Apple VR could be the next big thing Apple news
Rumours are still flying around that Apple could enter the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). There has long been speculation that Apple could release a pair of lightweight glasses for consumers in the future. Think of something similar to Google Glass. In the meantime, we could get our own Apple VR headset for entertainment, gaming, and communication. Think of something similar to the Oculus Quest 2. This month JPMorgan Chase Securities Technology Industry Analyst, Yang Weilun, reports that Apple may release headset products with VR and AR in the first quarter of 2022.
iOS 14.5 will enable you to unlock your iPhone with your Watch iPhone & iPad news
Apple released the first developer beta for iOS 14.5 in February, and rather than being a minor update, it looks like it is packing some major new features. So far it looks like iOS 14.5 will enable dual-SIM 5G support for the iPhone 12 lineup, allow you to unlock your iPhone with Apple Watch on watchOS 7.4 beta when you’re wearing a mask, bring support for PlayStation 5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers, may have Apple Card Family Sharing, and some code suggests a financial health feature is coming to Wallet.
Being able to unlock an iPhone with your Apple Watch is a feature that could make life a lot easier when you have to wear a face mask. Currently iPhone users have to enter a passcode if they can’t unlock their iPhone with Face ID, and that gets frustrating very quickly. The ability to unlock a Mac with an Apple Watch has existed for some time now, so it’s about time the same functionality was ported to iPhone.
But what about people who don’t have an Apple Watch? Well, there is a rumour that Apple is bringing back Touch ID to the next generation of iPhones, in addition to Face ID.
