### By ANI

American tech giant Apple, which recently sent out iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3 to supported devices, released iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 for developers yesterday. And now, these builds are available for people who are part of Apple's beta program. As per GSM Arena, the new version of Apple's mobile software finally enables Face ID when you have a mask on.

Additionally, there's some new functionality for wearers of glasses, although it requires you to set it up with each pair of glasses you wear regularly. That said, Face ID with a mask doesn't support sunglasses.

Up until now, there was partial support for Face ID while you're wearing a mask, but it required you to have an Apple Watch connected to the same phone. From iOS 15.4 onwards, that won't be necessary anymore.

iPadOS 15.4 comes with Universal Control, which allows multiple Macs and iPads to be controlled with a single cursor and keyboard (provided those Macs are on macOS Monterey 12.3).

The betas also have new emojis, an Apple Card widget, an option to control keyboard brightness through Control Center on iPad, on-device custom email domain setup, and easier access to SharePlay.

## Apple Proves Yet Again Why It’s Seen as Safe Haven

(Bloomberg) Traders often cite Apple Inc. as a safe haven amid the rout in technology stocks, and for good reason.

Ringing up record revenues in a quarter roiled by severe chip shortages impressed Wall Street analysts and investors, pushing Apple shares 3% higher at open.

A sobering note for tech investors, though: Even a rally in shares of the world’s biggest company isn’t enough to lift stock prices more broadly: the Nasdaq 100 Index was down 0.4% at 9:35 a.m. in New York, with worries about tighter Federal Reserve monetary policy dominating sentiment.

“Just the Right Amount of Everything” and “Apple Doesn’t Disappoint” were some of the headlines in post-earnings research reports from analysts. The tech giant navigated the crisis and benefited from a flood of new products, including the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7 and updated Macs. Sales of Macs surged 25% to $10.9 billion, beating analyst estimates.

With 1.8 billion Apple devices in customers’ hands, the company has a wide range of opportunities to generate revenue, analysts and investors flagged.

The earnings report “highlights the strength, and stickiness, of the iPhone maker's ecosystem,” Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty wrote in a note. She reiterated Apple as her top pick for 2022.

While the shares trade at 26.7 times estimated earnings for the next year, a tad above the Nasdaq 100’s multiple, bulls say that premium is deserved. Aaron Rakers of Wells Fargo says the price doesn’t reflect the long-term gross margin expansion, noted the company’s whopping 72.4% gross margin in services.

Investors have often prized Apple for its consistent sales growth and hefty cash balance. Analysts also pointed to the high-growth opportunities in its potential venture into autonomous vehicles and its planned foray into metaverse via augmented reality and virtual reality products.

The blowout quarter and outlook is also putting Apple back on path to a $3 trillion market value -- a milestone that was in touching distance just a few weeks back. The stock, which finished Thursday just above $159, would need to reach almost $183 to get there. At least 20 analysts, or roughly half of those with price targets tracked by Bloomberg, see Apple surpassing the milestone in the next 12 months.
