Apple is releasing the iOS 14.5 update next week, which will include support for the iPhone's PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X controllers.
Apple confirmed that the next version of iOS is coming very soon. The next update will be iOS 14.5 and is planned to roll out to devices Apple on next week, apparently aimed at providing more customizability as well as more transparency when it comes to security.
News about the update of the Apple operating system appeared on April 20 Spring Loaded event , where the tech giant showcased several of the company's new products. While the event did not include iOS 14.5 presentations or demos, Apple has revealed a software release window due next week starting April 26th.
The most common new feature for gamers is the addition of iOS support for PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers. Introduced in Public Beta 14.5, the arrival of console controller support for iPhone could be a game-changer for mobile and cloud gaming. A common problem with playing video games on mobile devices is the lack of precise controls and the ability for complex inputs, given the two-dimensional nature of phone touch screens. With live streaming services like Microsoft Project xCloud running beta tests for iOS devices and PC, the gaming industry seems to be on the cusp of delivering fully mobile console games.
While Apple appears to be aiming to make online gaming easier on its devices, its legal battle with developer Fortnite Epic Games continues and CEOs Both companies are due to testify in court next month. According to Law360, the face-to-face trial will begin on May 3 and will last approximately three weeks. Both Epic and Apple have submitted preliminary witness lists, and their CEOs, Tim Sweeney and Tim Cook, are expected to come forward and testify in court.
Other iOS 14.5 features include Face ID that works with masks. The new iOS also adds a big privacy feature called App Tracking Transparency, requiring apps to get user permission before sharing activities and data. It also uses AI to know which music platform the user prefers rather than using Apple Music as the default. This will be especially true for avid music lovers who use paid services such as Spotify Premium, which Fortnite offers for 3 free months with a Fortnite Crew subscription.
The growing market for console-quality games on mobile devices should be of interest to gamers and the industry as a whole. Cloud gaming services like PS Remote Play and Project xCloud will only increase the versatility and accessibility of games. However, considering how often people drop their devices Apple , it would be nice to invest in some next generation protective gaming accessories, to ensure that all proper player components remain intact.
