Apple's work on a brand-new augmented reality app called "Gobi" was revealed in early March thanks to a leaked version of iOS 14. Now, new QR code formats have been discovered.
Thanks to an internal iOS 14 preview that leaked out into the wild, we've gotten a pretty good idea of what Apple is currently working on. Now, former TechCrunch editor Josh Constine has shared details regarding "Gobi." This involves a new QR code format and new sounds specifically for the "Find My" app. According to the report, Apple appears to be planning to implement a new QR code format that uses colored icons. They were directly integrated into the new AR application, "Gobi". According to Constine, these lead to the websites of the Mac Pro, the Apple Watch, and more – see image. The code also points to a comparison shopping feature in "Gobi," according to Constine. The latest discovery also confirms previous rumors that Apple is planning a partnership with Starbucks, offering discounts at certain Starbucks locations in the Gobi app.
iOS 14 includes a number of useful features
This is said to be part of certain promotions. Constine shared a video showing sounds (audio files) included in the "Find My" app. These are intended to help users locate lost devices. in it:
You will hear encouraging tones when you are looking in the right direction, so the lost device is “ahead of you,” when you are “near” or coming within “arm’s reach,” while discouraging tones indicate that you are off course.
The next big iOS update will bring a lot of cool features, including a new fitness app, new features in iMessage, and more. If you want to learn more about it, I recommend our iOS 14 archive. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
