Latest News from Apple

December 22, 2021 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No Comments

Every year, we follow the innovations that Apple introduces to the world of technology with great interest. If we are playing games on touch screens at sites like casino Vulkanbet without any problems today, we owe it to Apple. That’s why we follow with interest the new technologies developed by this legendary company, and we are confident that millions of people around the world are doing the same. To help you out, we’ve put together the latest Apple news as we approach the end of 2021.

Apple Watch Series 7

Watch Series 7 now has a rounded corner design, and we can say that it looks much more aesthetic. Battery life remains unchanged (approximately 18 hours), but the device can now charge 33% faster. This model is also the first Apple Watch with IP6X (dust resistance) certification. In other words, you can use it more comfortably in outdoor activities, and the screen is 50% thicker and durable than the previous model.

There are two models in this series with 41mm and 45mm cases, and both run WatchOS 8. This operating system has new dial designs, new features to automatically track cycling workouts and more advanced sensors. It can also track breathing during sleep and offers a swipeable keyboard.

If you think these are not very innovative features and are disappointed, be patient: It is known that Apple will add many more features to this model in 2022. These include even a thermometer that can determine the optimal time for fertility. Likewise, additional features are expected to be added to sleep tracking.

Apple Wallet

This is a simple innovation that can make daily life easier: Apple Wallet users can now add their ID and driver’s license information to their wallets. You no longer have to carry them with you, and every device that has your Apple Wallet installed will also have a copy of your ID or driver’s license.

In order for this system to work, official institutions must also support this feature. Currently, Arizona and Georgia have announced their support, and the states of Connecticut, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Utah are expected to do the same. In other words, this feature will be available in the US first but may become available in other countries in 2022.

AirPods 3

AirPods 3 were never mentioned at the organization where the iPhone 13 series was introduced, but that doesn’t mean Apple forgot about them. According to many different reports, AirPods 3 is currently in production and will be available for $159 before the end of 2021. (The release date and prices are, of course, subject to change.) AirPods 3 are expected to feature fitness tracking, motion sensors, and noise canceling. The device will support spatial audio and offer better battery life.

iOS 15

At the time of this article, iOS 15 was ready to go: you can install it on any iOS-powered device right now. iOS 15 has many interesting and useful innovations. To briefly list the most important ones:

  • Spatial audio technology can now be used in FaceTime calls. In other words, the voices are heard as if they are coming from where the speaker is on the screen. You can also block out background noise and prioritize your own voice with the Sound Separation feature – this feature can be further enhanced using artificial intelligence technology. One of the most remarkable innovations for FaceTime is that people using Android or Windows devices can now join the call via their browsers.
  • Notifications now use a Focus system. This means that notifications are automatically filtered based on what the user wants to focus on at that moment (work, entertainment, sleep, etc.). For example, if you select Work Focus mode, you will only see notifications from your colleagues. Notifications have also been redesigned and now include larger icons.
  • Safari browser now supports extensions, and new tabs are placed at the bottom of the screen. This way, you can switch between tabs more easily and group them. The Safari start page is also now more customizable.
  • New Privacy Control features offer more options to protect your personal information. For example, you can now prevent the sender from knowing if you have opened an email. Likewise, senders can no longer see your IP address unless you ask for it. In addition, Siri now processes voice commands in-device, further protecting user privacy.

iPad Mini

The new iPad Mini model is quite an impressive device: it has an 8-inch Liquid Retina display and uses the new A15 Bionic chip. This makes it 80% faster than other models. Cellular models have 5G support, and all models have a USB-C port. The device still uses TouchID, but the sensors are placed at the top of the screen. In this way, the iPad Mini can use a full-screen design. Thanks to the 12MP front and rear cameras and Smart HDR technology, it is possible to take great-looking photos regardless of the light level.
