Apple iOS 15.4’s rare approach: Arise, Face ID with mask and Universal Control
Your Apple iPhone will soon unlock even if you are wearing a mask. Soon, if you wish to wait for the final release of the iOS 15.4 software sometime in the next couple of weeks. But right now, if you feel brave enough to try the public beta version of iOS 15, which is now available. Yet, iOS 15.4 will be bringing a lot of new features and functionality, to the extent that you wouldn’t normally associate with periodical updates.
This is what is on the menu. Universal control if you have an iPad, all third-party apps taking advantage of the 120Hz ProMotion display, custom email domains in iCloud, the Emoji 14 bundle, adding notes to iCloud Keychain passwords, updates to Shortcuts app automations, scan text in notes and reminders app, in addition to the Face ID upgrade that now works well with face masks.
The way Face ID, the facial recognition feature in iPhones, works is that it uses the TrueDepth camera that’s looking at you to match your face against the face that you saved when setting up facial recognition on your new iPhone. It’ll deploy infrared project thousands of invisible dots on the face of the person trying to unlock the iPhone to analyze and match the facial features as well as depth. Till now, anything blocking the sight of your full face, would mean Face ID wouldn’t complete the authentication.
Third party apps on your iPhone 13 Pro models will start to look a lot better if the support for 120Hz refresh rate is rolled out as expected. Tasks such as scrolling, viewing media and transitions will look a lot smoother.
The Universal Control feature, which is part of the iPad OS 15.4 beta for the iPad family, will introduce the much-awaited multitasking upgrade. You’ll be able to keep your Mac (any Mac, be it a MacBook or iMac, as long as it is running macOS Monterey 12.3 beta) and an iPad next to each other and use the two as extensions of each other. The Mac keyboard and mouse, for instance, can control the interface of the iPad too. Moving apps will be simpler and faster, while file transfers will be instant.
