The developer previews also now include a disclaimer intended to discourage malicious AirTag use by emphasizing that the smart-tags are linked to one's Apple ID on activation. On that note, iOS has been able to inform the user of the accessories detected around them now, the 15.4 betas have conferred the ability to specify what they are ( AirTags as opposed to AirPods, for example).
The company is up to iOS 15.4 beta 4 at this point, which means users on this update channel should see an updated Find My app, which offers more granular Find My and Tracking controls intended to address the recent AirTag abuse controversy. Now, Apple has released 3 further betas in a process that has culminated in the appearance of features that might render some users more content while using their mobile devices. IOS 15.4's first beta is the one that finally added Face ID with a Mask feature, as well as improved 120Hz support on iPhones 13 Pro.
This new device will most likely be Apple’s replacement to the ageing Apple Watch Series 3, which Gurman says may (finally) be discontinued this year.3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4 The updated wearable will likely feature small-scale changes, such as an improved chip and battery life. Gurman also notes that Apple will likely announce a new, second-generation Apple Watch SE this year. Also, the Apple Watch Series 3 may finally be retired. I wouldn’t expect any major new health sensors this year, besides the possible inclusion of the oft-discussed body temperature feature. But look out for major updates to activity tracking and faster chips across the board.
I’m looking for three new models this fall: an Apple Watch Series 8, an Apple Watch SE and an Apple Watch geared toward extreme sports. I think this year will be the biggest in the history of the Apple Watch since the original model. Gurman has previously reported that the device will offer extra impact-resistance and protection to appeal to users who want to wear an Apple Watch but fear to do so because of the environments they would wear it in, where it is important the device would be robust and durable enough to withstand daily use, similar to Casio’s G-Shock watches. The new rugged Apple Watch, dubbed the “Explorer Edition” is said to be targeted towards athletes, hikers and others who would use the device in extreme sporting environments. Touching on Apple’s rumored new “Explorer Edition” Apple Watch, Gurman believes this new wearable may make an appearance this year.
