Apple is rolling in with an all new iOS update. The next best Apple iOS 14.5 is said to be out by this April and it is bringing so many features and upgrades.
One of them is unlocking your phone through your Apple watch.
Here are the new main features and upgrades included in Apple iOS 14.5:
-
Unlock your phone while wearing a mask with your apple watch
The biggest flex of iOS 14.5 is that, users can now unlock their phone without removing their masks or typing in the passcode on the screen.
The idea is to basically bypass Face ID to unlock the iPhone. Your Apple watches will now unlock your iPhone. Sure this seems as an efficient tactic to make all Apple users buy their Apple watches too but given the pandemic, this seems like a fun solution although expensive. However, this new feature still requires your face or passcode.

App Tracking Transparency
Apple is finally changing its game completely. The iOS 14.5 features the app tracking transparency. Basically, its functioning includes permissions for other apps that seek to track users from across other websites or apps. This has obviously not been taken well by Facebook who will now need permissions before accessing your advertising ID.

Battery recalibration
Apple iOS 14.5 is going to include the nifty battery recalibration feature. This new feature sports the ability to infirm the users about the health status of the battery life and help in recalibrating the maximum battery capacity.
