Η Apple ξεκίνησε τη διανομή των iOS 14.5 και iPadOS 14.5, με τα νέα μεγάλα updates να φέρνουν σημαντικά νέα χαρακτηριστικά πέραν του “πονοκεφάλου” στη Facebook και στους άλλους developers που θα πρέπει να ενημερώνουν και να ζητούν από τους χρήστες τη συγκατάθεση τους για να μαζεύουν τα δεδομένα τους (App Tracking Transparency).
Ανάμεσα στα νέα χαρακτηριστικά που ξεχωρίζουν είναι η δυνατότητα ξεκλειδώματος του iPhone με το Apple Watch (από το iPhone X και Apple Watch 3 ή μεταγενέστερα μοντέλα), η υπόστηριξη δικτύων 5G σε dualSIM, η δυνατότητα επιλογής διαφορετικής μουσικής υπηρεσίας ως προκαθορισμένη για τον ψηφιακό βοηθό Siri, η υποστήριξη των AirTag και Precision Finding στη σειρά iPhone 12, η υποστήριξη τηλεχειριστηρίων Xbox Series X/S Wireless και PS5 DualSense και πολλά άλλα που μπορείτε να δείτε συγκεντρωμένα στη λίστα που ακολουθεί.
Εάν δεν σας έχει εμφανιστεί το update, μπορείτε να το τσεκάρετε από μόνοι σας μεταβαίνοντας στο μένου των ρυθμίσεων του iPhone ή του iPad.
