The currently tested iOS 13.4 operating system hides many surprises, and it seems that some of them are aimed at future devices. One of the new features we've reported on in recent weeks is the CarKey feature, which turns your iPhone into a car key, and even with the possibility of sharing via iMessage. But that's not the only upcoming feature, whose existence surfaced prematurely. It is also a novelty support wireless device recovery. A feature called "OS Recovery" is hidden in the latest iOS 13.4 beta and was designed to allow you to restore your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or HomePod.

The feature is also interesting because the iPhone and iPad are currently of the products listed above, the only ones you can restore. However, you need a Mac or PC with iTunes and a cable to connect the device. However, if your Apple Watch or HomePod breaks down, recovery is not possible a the only option, how to solve the problems is to visit an authorized service center or an Apple Store. A wireless recovery option would be soa for the usere a practical solution that saves time and, in some cases, money.

But it also means that Apple seems to have solved the recovery problem for a potential future iPhone without connectors. There has been speculation about him for a long time and although The European Union has started pushing the USB-C connector as a standard that all devices must support, Apple can circumvent the regulation by simply preparing its devices for a completely wireless future. In that case, the device would only have to be charged wirelessly. Question marks hung over the possibility of repairing such a device, but this problem could be eliminated thanks to the wireless function of OS Recovery. It is essentially about the same a method that is already longer time we see on Macs that support the option of switching to safe mode and downloading a new version of the operating system via the Internet.
