Apple Released iOS 13.6 with CAR KEY, Toggle for Automatic Updates, and more

Unlock your car with your iPhone

Apple just pushed out their latest release with iOS 13.6 that introduces Car Key, improvements to Health, Apple News, and software updates.

Apples new Car Key allows an iPhone or Apple Watch user to Unlock and drive an NFC-enabled car that supports Car Key. Currently BMW is Apple’s first partner and will be available on the majority of their new vehicles.

You will have the ability to iMessage keys and profiles with limitations for young drives. Hopefully more car manufactures will jump on board so there is one less item to carry around with you.

Also a major new change is the ability to turn on and off automatic downloads of iOS software updates. You know have the ability to control this as well as when to have an automatic install of new software. This is great for Jailbreakers who want to stay on a specific firmware without having to worry about accidentally upgrading. It is also great for the average user who does not have much room on their iPhone or iPad. You don’t have to worry about your device taking up that extra space.

Another new feature comes in Apple’s Health app. There is a new “Symptoms” section that allows you to input important information like coughing, sneezing, headache, and more. This can be shared with third party apps to help with diagnosing problems with your health.

Here is the full release notes from Apple along with the direct download links:
