- A few days after the launch of the new iPhone, users have already reported several device failures
- People report an error when trying to unlock their iPhone using Apple Watch
- The fix could come once Apple releases a new iOS 15 update
Not long ago the new iPhone 13 was released and several device errors have already been reported. Today, users pointed out a new flaw.
It is, in fact, an error that has to do with the effects caused by the pandemic, among which stands out the unavoidable use of face masks as a means of protection while we are away from home, whether at work, school or anywhere else.
It is no secret to anyone that life during Covid-19 is very different from what we used to be used to. Many things have changed since the global pandemic became official in March last year.
From that moment, our way of socializing with the world is no longer the same and it will take a while, still, to recover and return, even in a minimal way, to a normality as we knew it before the Covid-19 was take over our lives.
What’s this coming up with with the new iPhone 13 flaw? Let’s go by parts:
In 2017, it launched the facial recognition function (or Face ID) for its iPhones, a truly useful security method and, without a doubt, very attractive to users.
Of course, once the pandemic arrives and we are forced to wear face masks all the time we are on the street, facial recognition is impossible, because, precisely, the mask prevents it from working properly. So, users had to resort to typing their PIN to access their smartphone.
Because of this, Apple, with the launch of its new iPhone 13, designed a new function so that people did not have to type their PIN and could access their smartphone through the Apple Watch.
However, since last Friday, several users began to report on social networks and internet forums that the iPhone unlock settings through the Apple Watch do not work.
Given this, and after a few days, Apple had no choice but to acknowledge that, indeed, its new line of smartphones had this problem and promised to solve it, but, to this day, there is no solution in this regard.
Even, by means of a release, the company talked about this problem that only iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max users have faced. Previous models, such as iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max have no problem with wearing face masks, as long as you wear an Apple Watch in its Series 3 version or on your wrist. later.
Undoubtedly, if we take into account that the iPhone is the device that generates the most income for Apple, it is an issue that, in short, puts the company’s image in check, especially in the case of its new line of devices and that , in fact, they have a very high cost.
And, in reality, this is not the only error reported by users a few days after the official launch of the new iPhone 13.
So, to have a solution to this new flaw, users will have to wait for the company to release a new update to iOS 15, because some “home remedies” are not having a satisfactory result either.
