The iOS 14.5 update for iPhones has been released by Apple. This update includes a number of useful and essential features. One of these is the option to use your mask to unlock your iPhone. This is important since the iPhone X and subsequent models lack a fingerprint sensor. However, there is a catch. This feature will only work if you have an Apple Watch.

You'll need to download and install the iOS 14.5 update on your iPhone first. Open Settings > General > Software Update to do so. This applies to iPhone X and later models, as well as Apple Watch Series 3 and later models. On your Apple Watch, you don't have to do something.

All you have to do now is change your iPhone by following these steps: On your iPhone, visit the Settings menu. Select ‘Face ID & Passcode' from the drop-down menu. Then find ‘Unlock with Apple Watch' and enable it.

When you enable this feature, your iPhone's Face ID will unlock when it detects a mask-wearing face. This feature will only function if your Apple Watch is unlocked and close by. When your iPhone senses a mask-wearing face, it will send a haptic and message to your Apple Watch, prompting you to unlock it. Recognizing any face behind a mask can appear to be a challenge, but in the end, you'll need your Apple Watch to unlock it. When this happens, you can also opt to re-lock your iPhone from your watch. Since the pandemic is far from over and we will need to wear masks, this function would be extremely useful.

However, there are limitations, such as cost, accessibility, and user willingness, to name a few. Immersive learning, on the other hand, has a lot of potential to spice up skills and boost educational outcomes as it becomes more commonplace. Helping surgeons practise o...
