Nous y sommes ou pas loin : la version finale d'iOS 15.4 nous tend ses petits bras très musclés ! Ou presque, puisque Apple propose aux développeurs une release candidate, autrement dit une ultime bêta qui devrait être la build finale à moins qu'un gros bug fasse son apparition entre temps. La version finale sera disponible la semaine prochaine, a annoncé Apple ce soir.

iOS 15.4 comprend un grand nombre de nouveautés que nous avons décrites en long et en large ces dernières semaines, notamment l'identification Face ID avec un masque, la fonction Commande universelle entre l'iPad et le Mac, le passeport vaccinal dans les apps Santé et Cartes, ou encore… de nouveaux émojis !
