Μετά την κυκλοφορία του iOS 15.4 beta τον Ιανουάριο, η Apple κυκλοφόρησε τη σταθερή ενημέρωση iOS 15.4 που προσφέρει τη δυνατότητα ξεκλειδώματος με Face ID ενώ φοράτε μάσκα στο iPhone 12 και νεότερα.
Η εταιρεία κυκλοφόρησε επίσης ενημερώσεις macOS Monterey 12.3 και iPadOS 15.4 που φέρνουν το Universal Control, ώστε να μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιείτε ένα μόνο ποντίκι και πληκτρολόγιο σε όλα τα iPad και Mac σας.
Οι ενημερώσεις περιλαμβάνουν επίσης νέα emoji, μια πρόσθετη φωνή για τη Siri και άλλες δυνατότητες και διορθώσεις σφαλμάτων για αυτές τις συσκευές, ενώ προσθέτουν επίσης δυναμική παρακολούθηση κεφαλής για Μουσική με υποστηριζόμενα AirPods σε υπολογιστές Mac με το τσιπ M1.
Το Live Text κάνει το κείμενο διαδραστικό στις φωτογραφίες σας, ώστε να μπορείτε να αντιγράψετε και να επικολλήσετε, να αναζητήσετε και να μεταφράσετε σε Φωτογραφίες, Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης, Γρήγορη ματιά, Safari και ζωντανές προεπισκοπήσεις με Κάμερα (iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR και νεότερες εκδόσεις). Παρόλο που δεν αναφέρεται στο changelog, η ενημέρωση προσθέτει επίσης κινούμενα σχέδια 120 Hz σε εφαρμογές τρίτων σε τηλέφωνα iPhone 13 Pro και Pro Max, όπως είχε υποσχεθεί η Apple.
