Apple's AirPods Pro 2 and 3 include a built-in hearing test and hearing aid feature, introduced with iOS 18.1 in October 2024. Apple describes the test, which takes as little as five minutes, as 'clinical-grade,' though it is not a substitute for an audiologist's examination.
404 Media reports that Magnet Forensics, maker of the GrayKey phone-unlocking tool, has found a way around iOS's Inactivity Reboot, which forces a locked iPhone to reboot after 72 hours of non-use. The report cites a law enforcement training video describing a new device called GrayKey Preserve and an Evidence Preservation Mode for existing GrayKey hardware, both reportedly built to keep a seized iPhone from returning to its more secure locked state.
Apple's Visual Intelligence, introduced with iOS 18.1 as part of Apple Intelligence, lets compatible iPhones (15 Pro, 15 Pro Max or newer) identify objects, landmarks and business signage through the camera. Users can activate it via the Camera Control button, the Action button, Siri, or a Control Center shortcut, then get details through Siri, Google Image Search or ChatGPT. It also extends Live Text's existing ability to detect and act on text in the camera view, such as translating, reading aloud or opening links and contact details.
