The characteristic permits one to manage the Mac with the Magic Keyboard in a seamless expertise and the identical with the iPad.

In keeping with Apple, the replace will lastly arrive this Fall, however not even the betas are coming with clues for it.

ID Playing cards

iOS 15 will supply assist for ID playing cards within the Pockets utility. The characteristic will enable customers to retailer paperwork resembling their driver’s license on their iPhone. Sadly, this characteristic is now delayed to 2022. We don’t even know whether it is coming with iOS 15 or shall be skipped till iOS 16.

The characteristic wants a number of partnerships with native governments. So we are able to perceive that it is among the principal causes behind the delay.

Room Keys

The Pockets App will turn out to be much more highly effective with a characteristic dubbed Room Keys. It’s going to enable customers to open their resort room with iPhone or Apple Watch. After all, this additionally wants collaboration. Apple states that Hyatt resorts would be the first to supply assist for the characteristic. The characteristic is listed for “later this Fall” however there isn’t a precise launch date data.

It’s an alternate method for builders to construct their apps with the all portability-wonder of an iPad. Sadly, there isn’t a precise date for this characteristic’s arrival.

The listing of lacking options is kind of massive, however we are able to assume that Apple had massive challenges this yr in mild of the working restriction imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and early in 2021. We assume that iOS 14 didn’t take a giant hit from it because it was partially prepared forward of the pandemic. iOS 15, Monterey, alternatively, have been developed amidst the pandemic.

Conclusion

We don’t know when these options are coming, however so far as the iPhone and iPad are involved, we are able to anticipate most of them to be prepared till the iOS 15.5 / iPadOS 15.5 updates.

A few of these options, nonetheless, will be skipped till the subsequent massive replace. Solely time will inform.
