iOS operating system from Manzana will have some changes to bring new features. Even active iOS version (16.2) It will give way to iOS 16.3 and iOS 16.4 until the arrival of the new iOS 17 operating system along with the next generation of devices with iPhone 15.

These are some of the releases for Apple smartphones this year:

Popup notifications from the web

Since June last year, it was indicated that one of the functions that iOS 16 will bring to Apple devices is the inclusion of notifications from various websites from the Safari browser and others available such as Google Chrome.

In this way, people will be able to track the services offered by the web pages they allow to use this alert on their device just like any other app.

On the other hand, the Safari application will also bring new functions that will reach users in the following months and before the launch of the new operating system, such as tab groups in the browser, additional extensions and others.

Apple Pay Later (Pay Later)

As part of an upgrade in Apple’s virtual wallet feature, a “pay later” feature will be added, allowing eligible users to make purchases and split their payments evenly up to six weeks after the purchase is made.

The function will be able to offer this service without charging commissions or interest according to the macrumors website, which also states that payments made in online purchases will be included, either through the web page or the app within the iPhone or iPad.

The “pay later” feature will initially be available in select US states and could be released in iOS 16.4 according to Mark Gurman, an Apple journalist. It is not ruled out that it may be available in other regions where the Apple Pay function can also be used.

Emergency SOS via satellite in more countries

The iPhone 14 function that allows people to use a satellite connection in the event of an accident to call for help via a short text message system will have a new extension that will enable it in more countries than what the United States and Canada are already known for.

While France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom are the latest territories to be added to the list before the end of 2022, it’s yet to be reported which other countries will be integrated into the service.

Security key for Apple ID

This function aims to further strengthen user identity verification in addition to the dual authentication factor so that users can arrive in the first months of 2023 to all Apple devices. With this feature, unlocking a person’s Apple ID will require an additional device that needs to be configured as an access “lock”.

Not only will enterprise devices be accepted as part of this security system, but anything that meets the requirements can be brought in as part of the feature.

With this implementation, users will be able to prevent phishing scams because this authentication is requested in a variety of situations which could present itself as an opportunity to breach their security.
