Apple has been at the forefront in terms of innovation, during these dire times of the pandemic. Not only have they launched an exciting family of products, but they also have introduced some much-needed features, that will surely go a long way in helping us flatten the curve.
The main feature is probably the contact tracing or exposure notifications feature that has been added to all Apple and Android devices, thanks to the collaboration between Apple and Google to develop it as a team. However, this is something that works in the background, and comes into play rarely and if you enable it on your device. Most people didn’t even know this feature existed until recently, when both the companies announced it to the public.
Another feature is ‘Handwashing Mode’ for the Apple watch. The virus has shown us the importance of keeping our hands clean periodically, and Apple wants its users to be responsible during these times, and make sure they wash their hands periodically, for 20 seconds each time.
