Most of the apps that are listed on the App Store for iOS are meant for anyone to download who needs to use the app. To make sure that the app reaches the maximum audience, it is posted on the App Store. However, there are apps created by the developers which are only meant for a certain group of users, and posting them on the App Store would only lead to more costs for the developers. Currently, Apple allows the developers to restrict the app download on App Store based on the geographical location. 

It would help in only allowing people from a certain country to download the app. Now iOS developers will be able to publish unlisted apps on the App Store through a private link. These apps can be made for a group of users like employees in an office or the members of a group etc. The private links for these apps can be distributed by the developers based on their preferences. It would allow the developers to share their apps with a small circle of people.

However, the apps can be downloaded by anyone through the link and there is no restriction in doing so. Apple has also suggested the developers add a mechanism in such apps that could prevent any unauthorized usage through the download link. The app that will be published through the private link will not appear in the public search results and recommendations of the App Store.

One of the major highlights of the iPhone 13 display is that it supports a refresh rate of 120Hz. However, only a few apps on iOS support 120 frames per second, due to which the feature is not used in the device to its full capacity. However, it is going to change as Apple is planning to extend the feature in all applications in the iOS 15.4 beta update. Since the update is currently in Beta, it will take a while before the actual stable version of the update is launched. 

However, with this update, the smartphone will be able to use a 120Hz refresh rate on all the apps. The issue was related to a Core Animation bug, which did not allow the feature on iPhone 13 before. It has not been confirmed how the feature will work on all apps. Will it run automatically on all apps, or the user will have to activate it manually. However, this is not the only update available in the beta version.

The company has also added a new feature where the user will be able to use the FaceID on the iPhone while wearing a mask and without using an Apple Watch for authentication. It will actually use unique identification marks on the face and near the eye to recognize the users. The user will have to re-scan their face again through the FaceID and then they will be able to use the new verification feature as well.
