Apple Announces iMessage Unsend Feature, Buy Now Pay Later Program & More During #WWDC22 Event
Apple stuns in their #WWDC22 presentation announcing a new buy now, pay later program, iMessage unsend features, and more.
Today, Apple invited us to their Cupertino home to watch them debut their latest slate of features and products releasing later this year. The #WWDC22 event ended up being one of their best in years with something for everyone to be excited about. Let’s take a look at all the dope new features Apple is bringing to their ecosystem of products this year.
Apple Pay Later
Apple changed the Financial playing field when they released their Apple Card, making it easier for anyone with an iPhone to get credit and maintain it in a simple way. Now, they are going after the buy now, pay later industry announcing Apple Pay Later.
“Apple Pay Later” looks a lot like popular “buy now, pay later” service @Klarna. US Apple Pay users will be able to spread payments over 8 weeks. Apple’s challenge will be to ensure it does not generative negative optics if users get into extra debt by using the service. #WWDC22 pic.twitter.com/sAkAi2k28V

iMessage Edit and Unsend
The day is almost here when all those risky texts can be unsent. If you send something and accidentally leave a word or two out with the new update, you will be able to edit iMessages. This is by far the biggest announcement that caught attention from today’s keynote.
Apple is determined to ensure iMessage remains competitive with WhatsApp and other messaging apps. The addition of “edit” and “undo send” underline this and will be welcome additions. #WWDC22 pic.twitter.com/GLic0pktYA

Apple CarPlay Updates
While we wait to see if Apple has a full vehicle coming, they are flexing their hand in the car space announcing new additions to Apple CarPlay. The new features will cover the entire screen for newer cars and even the passenger screens that come in some models. You will also be able to control the air, seats, and other features directly from the Car Play interface.
Apple might not be making a car, but its vision for #CarPlay certainly shows it want to play a big role in the automotive space while ensuring that iPhone and the Apple ecosystem is front and centre for consumers. #WWDC22 pic.twitter.com/7QLS8tsgX8

A Password-Less Future
Apple is doubling down on a future that doesn’t involve remembering passwords. Instead, a future that uses bio-metrics aka your face to authenticate who is logging into different apps.
A “password-less future” isn’t a new idea, but Apple is well positioned to use Passkeys to deliver biometric sign-in using Touch ID & Face ID. More importantly for consumers, this approach has wider support via @FIDOAlliance which includes @Google, @Microsoft and others. #WWDC22 pic.twitter.com/nq5b6ExA7N
