APPLE MAPS DETAILED CITY EXPERIENCE
Let’s be honest; even if you’re on an iPhone, you’re probably also using Google Maps because it offers greater detail for navigation. So an iOS 15 update that can make Apple Maps more detailed would certainly turn heads.
Apple Maps will get new road details, like turn lanes, medians, crosswalks, and more. These changes would help to make Apple Maps much easier to understand. While Apple announced this feature for U.S. cities, we’re sure it’s only a matter of time before Singapore gets added to the mix.
Besides prettier maps, Apple is offering Immersive Walking Directions for the truly lost, which combines your iPhone camera and the phone’s navigation components to provide augmented reality-guided guides.
APPLE WALLET: DIGITAL KEYS USEABLE EVEN IN POWER RESERVE
Apple Wallet doesn’t just hold debit or credit cards for the sake of Apple Pay. Also, with an iPhone that has the UWB chipset, it can carry digital keys to your house, car, hotel room, office, and more when iOS 15 rolls out. But, that’s not the feature that gets us going.
A neat feature is Power Reserve, where the digital keys mentioned above are still usable from Wallet - up to five hours - even if the iPhone is low on battery or seemingly out of juice. It draws on the remaining power within to complete those taps. Currently, this feature is supported for other types of cards, like transit cards or student IDs, when Express Mode is enabled.
