14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has just released iOS 14.4 for all supported iPhones, and this time, there are bigger changes coming to users out there.
There are three notable improvements coming to iPhones out there.
First of all, beginning with this iOS update, the operating system can determine if the camera installed in your iPhone is not genuine. The good news is the OS wouldn’t disable the camera, but the bad news is that a notification would be displayed to let you know the device is unable to verify the camera.
This feature, however, would only be available for the iPhone 12 lineup introduced last fall, so older iPhone models wouldn’t get the notifications no matter if the camera is genuine or not.
Then, iOS 14.4 also comes with improvements for the way the Camera app can scan QR codes, and Apple says smaller codes can now be recognized too.
And last but not least, there are also improvements for Bluetooth device types, as Apple wants to make sure audio notifications for headphones work correctly.
Under the hood improvements
Needless to say, Apple has also worked on the general performance of iOS on all iPhones out there, and this update brings additional polishing for the fitness widget, typing improvements, and keyboard refinements for the Messages app.
There’s also a CarPlay fix that concerns the News app, as Apple says previously the app forgot to resume audio stories when the playback was interrupted by Siri or the navigation app.
The new operating system update is available for the iPhone 6s and newer, and it can be downloaded from Settings > General > Software update. Needless to say, you are recommended to charge your iPhone before installing the update or keep it plugged in until the process comes to an end.
