As more people around the world get vaccinated for COVID-19, depending on where you live, proof of vaccination will come in different forms. Some might come in the form of a physical card, while others might have a digital cert stored in an app. However, the good news is that if you’re trying to find a place to store everything, Samsung Pay could be an option.

Samsung has announced that  soon, users in the US who have Samsung Pay on their phones will be able to use the app to store their COVID-19 vaccination cards. This means that instead of having to deal with physical cards that can get lost or be faked, or having to launch a separate app, you can just pull up Samsung Pay to show it.

According to Samsung, “To add and digitally display a Covid-19 vaccination record, Samsung Pay users in the U.S. can download the CommonHealth app by visiting the Google Play Store from their Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Once the user’s health information is verified through secure authentication measures, users can download their Covid-19 vaccination record in the CommonHealth app and add it to Samsung Pay for convenient access and use.”

That being said, Samsung isn’t alone in their efforts. We’ve seen how other smartphone wallets like Apple Wallet and Google Pay can be used to store COVID-19 vaccination certificates as well, but it’s an option for those who prefer using Samsung Pay.

The launch of the Galaxy Watch 4 series may have excited Wear OS fans because of the upcoming upgrade to their favorite wearable platform, but not everyone is a fan of Samsung or its One UI based on its old Tizen wearable OS. They would prefer Wear OS smartwatches from other brands, but they might have to wait for those … Continue reading

About a month ago, an FCC sighting revealed that Bose could have a set of new headphones in the works in the form of the Bose QuietComfort 45. Now thanks to a post on WinFuture.de, a series of photographs of the headphones have made their way online, giving us a better look at what we might be able to expect.

Based on the photos, it seems that Bose won’t be making too drastic of a change when it comes to the QuietComfort 45’s design. It sports a similar look to the 35s, although it seems that Bose did update it with support for USB-C, which is a good thing as its predecessor was still using micro USB.

Some other features that we might be able to look forward to include an Aware Mode which lets external sound in so that users can be more aware of their surroundings, and it is also expected to use the same TriPort acoustic architecture and also support for Bose’s Active EQ. Battery life is also said to be longer at 24 hours, versus the 20 hours in the 35s, and with USB-C, it supports Quick Charge that will provide 2.5 hours of playback in 15 minutes of charging.

There is no word on when the headphones will be launched, but we expect the sighting at the FCC and these clean looking images all suggest that it could be soon.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Photos Leaked Ahead Of Launch

While some might argue that devices like Apple’s AirPods Pro and AirPods Max are expensive and aren’t as good compared to other headphones and earbuds in that price range, one of their main advantages is that they work better with iOS and come with features like spatial audio that certain apps can take advantage of, like Netflix, for example.

Netflix has recently updated its iOS app where it appears that users are now reporting that the app is offering support for spatial audio. This means that if you own either the AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, you will be able to enjoy Netflix on your iPhone or iPad in a whole different way, at least as far as the audio experience is concerned.

For those wondering what is spatial audio, it’s basically 3D audio. What this means is that instead of sound simply coming from the left or right, it can create the effect where the sound is coming from the front, behind, at an angle, and so on. This is kind of similar to the experience you get when you watch a movie in the cinema, except in your headphones.

The rollout of the update is underway so if you don’t see it yet, don’t worry as it should eventually make its way to you. Also, keep in mind that not all Netflix titles are compatible with spatial audio, so your mileage may vary depending on the content you watch.

Netflix For iOS Rolls Out Support For Spatial Audio

Netflix has started the process of supporting spatial audio on its iOS app, according to 9to5Mac. Following Reddit reports, a spokesperson for the company told the outlet it recently began a slow rollout of the feature to its iOS users. To take advantage, you’ll need a pair of AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, as well as an iPhone or iPad with iOS 14 installed on the device. The toggle to enable the feature is located in the Control Center. As this is a slow rollout, you may not see the toggle even if you have the latest version of Netflix installed on your iPhone or iPad.

Spatial audio uses head-tracking to widen the soundstage of a movie or TV show and make it feel like the entire room you’re in is being filled with sound. The result is a more immersive experience. Netflix is a bit late to support spatial audio. Some of the more popular apps where you could use the feature before today include Disney+, HBO Max and Peacock. Still, there are just as many platforms where it’s not available. More notable examples include YouTube and Amazon Prime Video, making this a significant milestone for the feature all the same.
