On this week’s episode of the AppleInsider podcast, your hosts discuss Apple’s announcement of “Tap to Pay” allowing business owners to accept contactless payments directly on the iPhone, “realityOS” found in App Store logs, rumors of a March 8 event, and more. <\/p>\n

\n

On February 8, Apple announced<\/a> a new feature coming to iPhone<\/a> that will allow users to accept Apple Pay<\/a> and other contactless payments with no additional hardware. Apple says Tap to Pay will arrive “later this year,” while Stripe has already announced<\/a> a closed beta program for the new feature coming this spring. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered<\/a> references to “realityOS” in Apple’s App Store<\/a> logs confirming previous rumors. This leak reveals Apple continues to develop its AR\/VR headset<\/a>, but the device is most likely delayed<\/a> until 2023. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sources told<\/a> Bloomberg<\/em> that Apple is considering March 8 for its first event of 2022. During this event, Apple is expected to announce a new iPhone SE<\/a>, refreshed iPad Air<\/a>, and we still expect a new 27-inch iMac Pro<\/a> to be released this spring. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

iOS 15.4<\/a> beta 2 was released with Wallet driver’s license support<\/a>, and the ability to disable<\/a> Shortcut automation notifications. Fantastical 3.6 launched<\/a> with a new “Openings” scheduling feature, and Android Apple Music beta reveals upcoming “Apple Classical<\/a>” app. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
