Apple’s release of iOS 15.4 earlier this week added some important features such as the ability of a face mask-wearing iPhone user to unlock his device using Face ID even without an Apple Watch present. The update also added a new gender-neutral American voice for Siri, and “Tap to Pay on iPhone.” The latter allows an Apple iPhone to be used by merchants to accept payments from contactless credit and debit cards.

Some iPhone users might have decided not to download and install the update because they don’t wear a mask, or care to use some of the new features including the new emoji.
