Apple releases new beta version of iOS 14.5

Apple today released the fifth beta version of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, one week after the last beta.

The most important feature of iOS 14.5 is the addition of Apple Watch to unlock iPhone. During the epidemic, it is very inconvenient to unlock iPhone face ID due to wearing a mask.

In addition, iOS 14.5 also added a dual-SIM 5G mode for the iPhone 12 model, and both SIM cards can enjoy 5G networks.

The fifth beta version of watchOS 7.4 and tvOS 14.5 also arrives simultaneously.

In addition, Apple has quietly changed the way the code runs on the iOS 14.5 Beta test version, and more details are expected to be disclosed in the next public push.

Apple has added Pointer Verification Code (PAC) to iOS to protect users from attacks that inject malicious code through memory corruption. Before calling, the system will verify the so-called ISA pointer, which is a security feature that tells the iOS program what code to run.

There are also developers who said that in iOS 14.5, Apple will allow users to change more default settings, which is more open than before.
