When it comes to the gaming department, oh boy, you’re in for a real treat. It’s still great to know that when India gets a green light from network companies, our hardware will be ready. One of the most anticipated features in India’s smartphone market today is 5G and Apple is finally ready, however, India isn’t. Also something new, is that Siri will no longer be a woman’s voice by default. This is something we usually see with their annual updates, instead of mid year. Something we’re certainly looking forward to goof around with, as usual. On a much more refreshing note, wee see tons of new emojis with this update, 217 to be precise. With this update, your iPhone isn’t looking for your Face-ID with a mask, it’s looking for just face with a mask.

However, there’s a twist here that we’re not particularly happy about. Apple new with with the iOS 14.5 is that, if your watch and iPhone are in close proximity, you’ll be able to unlock the device by just turning on the screen. This actually makes it a much easier to get through the day especially because the Face ID can’t recognize us with that mask on. Next, unlocking your iPhone while wearing a mask, with your Apple Watch. While some of us might be okay with apps using our data for targeted advertisements, others aren’t. This is the same reason why we keep seeing these oddly specific shopping ads, they tend to track our user behavior even after we use exit the app. This choice matters because, even in the subtlest of ways and without our knowledge, our user data might have been sold to third-party companies. You’ll very soon start seeing a prompt from apps asking permission to use and share your data. Privacy is on everyone’s mind these days, but with iOS 14.5 and its much tighter rules, we might be getting more control over the situation. We’re quite familiar with their digital user data fiasco, however, they’re not the only tech corp biting their nails right now. Good ol’ Zuck wouldn’t be too happy hearing with this one. Let’s talk about Apple’s new ‘App Tracking Transparency’. There’s obviously much more, but these are the ones getting most of the attention. Which is a digital necessity considering the ‘rona lifestyle. In our opinion, Apple hits two birds with one stone – First, giving us the much-needed transparency of how applications manage our personal data and second, allowing us to unlock our iPhones while we still wear our mask. Aiming at providing better control over private app data and an important Covid-19 lifestyle feat, here’s everything you need to know about it.
