Apple confirms its AR headset in latest iOS 15.4 beta update

Apple’s AR/VR headset plans could come to fruition this year. After a round of rumors and leaks, Apple has now dropped a big hint that its AR/VR headset will indeed appear in the near future, if not soon. The latest beta version of the iPhone software includes some internal features that will support augmented and virtual reality. It also confirmed that Apple is finally working on bringing push notifications to web apps on iOS.

Developer Maximiliano Firtman has discovered two major changes to the iOS 15.4 beta software. One is that Apple has included the WebXR API in the software, and the other is a combination of “built-in web notifications” and “push API” toggles.

The first will be used for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality on the website, but since Apple’s iOS doesn’t yet support AR/VR headsets, the feature is disabled. However, it does provide solid evidence that Apple is working on headphones and may launch them in the near future. Since Apple has decided to disable this feature in an upcoming iOS update, it’s impossible for any third-party headphones to use it to configure the technology on the iPhone. Regardless, however, the feature does confirm Apple’s plans to eventually introduce AR/VR technology.

The second feature is long overdue from Apple. Web app push notifications as an Android PWA (Progressive Web App) feature is finally coming to the iPhone. While Safari on macOS supports alerts from websites in the background, iOS has never had such a feature. But iOS 15.4 hints that Apple is working in that direction. The beta software has two toggles: “Built-in Web Notifications” and “Push API” in the WebKit experimental feature within Safari. But according to 9to5Mac, those options don’t work right now. Regardless, there’s a strong sign that the web app is about to get an overhaul.

The beta software also shows that developers will no longer have to do extra work to assign web app icons on iOS devices. For four years, because the Web App Manifest on iOS did not support icon declarations, developers had to add specific code to provide app icons for their web apps. But Apple added support for generic custom icons in the next iPhone update.

iOS 15.4 is currently in beta, so these features may only be used for testing and Apple may or may not finalize them as a stable release. Regardless, they’re still a good hint at Apple’s store.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
