iOS 16 will detect fake AirPods
Apple has been troubled by fake AirPods and AirPods Pro for a long time. According to a report in 2021, Apple has suffered a loss of about $ 3.2 billion i.e. about 26 thousand crore rupees due to this. Apple has added a feature in iOS 16 that tells you if you’ve connected a device with fake AirPods.
In the latest update of iOS 16, users get this feature, in which users get an alert when a fake device is paired with the iPhone, with a notification on the screen that the headphones connected are fake. Users can detect fake wearable devices using this feature of iOS 16.
New feature coming in iOS
Apple is working on a new system that will restrict iOS features based on location. This feature has been spotted in the hidden design of iOS, which the company is currently testing. For this, Apple’s engineers are using hard coding techniques, which will restrict the features according to the user’s location.
