Apple Updates Work Phones
According to foreign media reports, Apple has decided to replace the old work phones used by employees of Apple’s direct sales stores in the near future and upgrade them all to the latest iPhone 14 models.
At present, the working machine of Apple’s direct-sale store is still an iPhoneXS released in 2018. Although the performance of this phone was very powerful at the time, after upgrading the latest iOS16 system, a large number of employees reported that it was stuck and often ran out of power, resulting in Inconvenient when needed.
Although employees may use the latest iPhone for personal use, if customers want to use credit card and other payment methods, the Apple Direct Store uses this work machine for contactless collection and sends the electronic bill to the customer's mobile phone. .
I really didn't expect that Apple officials thought that the iPhoneXS upgrade to iOS16 would be stuck, and I myself did experience that my family's iPhone11 Pro Max became significantly slower after upgrading to iOS16.
But fortunately, it was downgraded back to the iOS15 system at the first time, maintaining the last trace of smoothness.
iOS17 Smart Identification Tag Card
According to feedback from foreign netizens, after I accidentally photographed a piece of clothing label for my family, I accidentally discovered that the iPhone would automatically recognize and prompt the content of the clothing label, and reminded that the clothing could not be machine washed or ironed.
Although Apple never mentioned this feature at the press conference, iOS17 did sneak in a lot of new features.
This function is also very simple to use, just pick up the iPhone and take a photo of the clothes label, and then a "view label card" function will appear in the photo album. After clicking, the system will explain the meaning of the label content and pattern .
And this function seems to be effective for a large number of various label cards and even train tickets and plane tickets, but from my actual measurement, it should only support English labels at present, and it is useless to try a lot of Chinese.
The main purpose of this function is to explain the translation of some labels with only general icons but no text introduction, and the visually impaired can also understand the label content.
Beats Studio Pro coming soon
According to news reports, Apple is preparing to release a new Beats Studio Pro wireless headset on July 19. The headset is similar to AirPods, but it focuses on sports.
Judging from the exposed pictures, Studio Pro has four colors to choose from, including black, navy blue, sandstone and dark brown. The overall appearance is similar to Beats Studio3, mainly a Pro upgrade.
Beats Studio Pro will have the following changes compared to the current one:
1: The new USB-C charging interface
2: Microphone upgrade, optimized sound configuration
3: Compatible with the search function of Android devices
4: Brand new handbag packaging
5: Enhanced active noise reduction function
In terms of price, Beats Studio Pro has been exposed by dealers before, and it is still 399 euros, the same price as Studio3.
