The next version of iOS will soon be a reality, as Apple is all set to roll out its much-awaited iOS 15.4 next week. Although the US-based tech major has reportedly not shared an exact release date of iOS 15.4, your wait for the same will probably end on Tuesday.
The highly-anticipated iOS version, as per reports, will include major new features, with the most prominent being the ability for users to unlock their iPhone employing Face ID while wearing a mask.
Your iPhone would identify the area around your eyes to validate if you are the correct person to access the device. This feature, however, is only available on the iPhone 12 and later, as per reports.
