It means you can unlock your iPhone to hand over to someone, but know, for instance, that they can't accidentally open your banking apps.It's up to you which apps you lock, if you lock any at all, but thereafter the process is the same. When anyone taps to open them, they are scanned by Face ID and only you are let in.

Macworld If you were watching Apple demo the main features of Apple Intelligence during the WWDC keynote on Monday, you were likely thinking of all the ways you’d be able to use the new service on your iPhone this fall. However, when it was over many iPhone users were dismayed to learn it won’t work on their phone—Apple Intelligence is off limits to all but the newest and most expensive phones. While Macs and iPads going back to 2020 will get the benefits of Apple Intelligence, support for the iPhone range is restricted to the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. That leaves out two of Apple’s newest phones released just a few months ago as well as all older models still on sale and the iPhone SE. However, while it might seem like a strange decision since the A16 chip in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is plenty fast, a new report from Ming-Chi Kuo sheds some light on things. As he notes, the processor power of the A16 chip is actually higher than the M1 (17 trillion operations per second vs 11 TOPS), so the requirements aren’t about the CPU. Rather it has to do with memory: The A16 chip has 6GB of RAM versus at least 8GB on all of the Apple Intelligence devices. He breaks it down even further: “The demand for DRAM can be verified in another way. Apple Intelligence uses an on-device 3B LLM (which should be FP16, as the M1’s NPU/ANE supports FP16 well). After compression (using a mixed 2-bit and 4-bit configuration), approximately 0.7-1.5GB of DRAM needs to be reserved at any time to run the Apple Intelligence on-device LLM.” Rumors have previously claimed that all iPhone 16 models will have 8GB of RAM, and based on the Apple Intelligence requirements, that’s almost certainly the case. Kuo also assumes that future devices will likely start at 16GB of RAM as Apple Intelligence evolves “most likely to a 7B LLM.” Some smartphones, such as the OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14, already have 16GB of RAM. When Apple Intelligence arrives with iOS 18 this fall, it will still be in beta. However, reports have said it will nevertheless be a centerpiece feature of the iPhone 16. iPhone04:00 pmThis new 5K display features a touchscreen

WWDC this year was packed with new features for Apple’s suite of software platforms. The company introduced a lot of enhancements coming this fall in iOS 18, visionOS 2, macOS Sequoia, and more. Apple also showcased features that are not coming this fall. But it wasn’t always clear what will arrive in 18.0, and what’s being saved for later this year or even some time in 2025. Here’s the full list of features we know won’t arrive until iOS 18.1 or later. more…03:49 pmSpace Black 13-inch M4 iPad Pro all-time low, 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro $300+ off, Apple Mac Studio, Nomad gear, more | 9 to 5 MacSpace Black 13-inch M4 iPad Pro all-time low, 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro $300+ off, Apple Mac Studio, Nomad gear, more

Apple's upcoming macOS 15 Sequoia will allow users to sign into iCloud and other Apple ID-related services from within virtual machines. This feature will be available for VMs running macOS 15 or newer, hosted on a Mac with macOS 15 or newer. ArsTechnica adds: But up until now, you haven't been able to sign into iCloud using macOS on a VM. This made the feature less useful for developers or users hoping to test iCloud features in macOS, or whose apps rely on some kind of syncing with iCloud, or people who just wanted easy access to their iCloud data from within a VM.
