Apple updates iOS 15 to fix iPhone 13's Apple Watch unlock bug

Apple's iPhone 13 lineup just launched last week, but some users faced a frustrating problem where they couldn't use their Apple Watch to unlock their new phone while wearing a face mask. The company promised that a fix was on the way, and it appeared in the iOS 15.1 beta earlier this week, but now, the fix is live for everyone as part of the iOS 15.0.1 release.

Apple's official patch notes also say that the update includes other bug fixes, but the company didn't specify what they might be. The update comes in at 553.7MB on my iPhone 12 mini.

In April, Apple added the ability to use your Apple Watch to unlock a Face ID-equipped phone while wearing a mask, and it proved to be a handy feature as masks are still recommended in many situations due to the pandemic. Is. Is. With this new software update, it seems that iPhone 13 users who were affected by a bug that prevented this feature from working will be able to take advantage of convenient unlock once again.

Apple's latest iMac comes with a completely new design and M1 processor. It's a step up from the older 21.5-inch model in every way except how many ports are on the back. If you're looking for an all-in-one for home use, it's hard to beat the new 24-inch iMac.
