Apple just delayed the ‘most-awaited’ feature of iOS 12Aug 14 (AZINS) Apple has delayed the Group FaceTime, a key feature which was to make an entry on the iOS 12. The company has started that instead of the first iOS 12 release that will come in September, the feature will now come later this year.

Apple's official iOS release says, “Group FaceTime has been removed from the initial release of iOS 12 and will ship in a future software update later this fall."

Apple, in its Worldwide Developer Conference, announced that it would introduce group FaceTime chats with iOS 12, where users will be able to add up 32 people at once.  The FaceTime feature, according to Apple, will be integrated into messages which will let users transit a group chat into a group video call. Apple also informed that FaceTime will feature filters and Animoji, along with firm's new Memoji.

Apple is also going aggressive in car technology and its latest patent envisions a futuristic windshield, as seen in sci-fi movies, showing you not only where to turn next, but also allowing you to FaceTime your friends while on-the-go.

The patent filings, as reported by Patently Apple, describe an augmented reality windshield system, dubbed Heads up Display. The system has been designed for an autonomous vehicle (hence, the support for FaceTime) with the ability to gauge occupants' stress levels.

If the occupants of the self-driving vehicle are feeling stressed out, the system will be able to analyse the eye motion, posture, gestures, and body temperature to change the AR display to something which is calming. While the technology may seem like something straight out of your fantasy, it may not necessarily turn out to be a final product. Apple is known for patenting technologies which are primarily aimed at research.

Recently, Apple became the first $1 trillion publicly listed U.S. Company crowning a decade-long rise fueled by its ubiquitous iPhone that transformed it from a niche player in personal computers into a global powerhouse spanning entertainment and communications.
