iOS 14 Leak Shows Off Apple-Branded QR Codes Found in 'Gobi' AR App

[macduke]

When AR glasses become a thing I'm just going to keep my coronavirus mask on to prevent facial recognition. Maybe I'll put one of these QR codes on it to show an Memoji where my face should be.

How does my missing phone know which way around I'm facing? Sounds a bit spooky.

The compass which is how they’ve been doing it in the maps app for years.

No. You completely misunderstand the mechanism. Possibly because you’ve listened to people who want you to misunderstand the mechanism, so they can make you fearful. Apple and Google have worked out an exposure notification system which is designed so there’s no bits for anyone to misuse. Go read the FAQ for the spec. It’ll help alert you if you’ve been exposed (and vice versa for others), without revealing any useful info about who you are, where you’ve been, or who you’ve interacted with.

How about iOS 14 fix Mail app so i dont have to refresh every time i open it for the email to be delivered?

I know, crazy high expectations. Lets go back to emoji and QR codes

Ehm i don’t know a single user in real lie with this issue, and i have hundred of costumers. Instead of wasting time on forums whining, try to troubleshoot the issue, call Apple Support, check mail download settings, check if push is enable for your account, try to remove and add again the account. Just few ideas.

Siri: "Okay looking for directions to Mini Syracuse"

The "Comsic" Iris Code looked very Grateful Dead "Cosmic Charlie" perhaps?

The round ones look like eyeballs to me - maybe something for Apple Glass?

Uh this is a widely reported issue in these forums. Glad your "customers" dont notice.

So, I’m assuming... Mail is just gonna stay broken...

This not delivering email until the app is opened its ridiculous. am I missing something? This isn’t a feature is it?

I’m wondering Apple is creating its own “QR Code” to help the visual disable besides adding features to that.

In fact, it turns out the Apple and Google have been so effective at preventing any kind of data from being exposed that it has been described as "practically useless" by several health authorities.
