Update: Apple is working on a fix for iPhone thirteen unlocking the Apple Sentinel, which should be addressed in iOS 15.one beta. It'due south non clear when this iOS update will be available to all

The iPhone 13 has but been on sale for a little flake, but already it'southward facing some bug. First nosotros learned that the ProMotion display on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max wasn't ever running at 120Hz, though there'southward a fix from Apple on the way that should assistance.

And now we're learning that the iPhone 13 series isn't working properly with 'unlock with Apple Watch.' And this is strange because it appears the iPhone 12 and older iPhones are not afflicted at this time.

Equally reported past The Verge, Apple tree has identified an outcome where the "unlock with Apple tree Watch" feature might not work with the new iPhone 13 devices. This is according to a note on Apple's own support page.

The page details that "you lot might see 'Unable to Communicate with Apple tree Sentry' if you effort to unlock your iPhone while wearing a face up mask." Or yous might not be able to prepare up the feature at all.

A popular thread on Reddit was one of the first sources online that flagged this iPhone xiii problem, with one user saying that fully resetting your iPhone can ready the upshot.

Apple says that the iPhone 13'due south unlock with Apple tree Watch issue will be fixed in an upcoming software update, just no timetable has been given. For now, the company says "you can plow off Unlock with Apple Watch and use your passcode to unlock your iPhone thirteen."

Our iPhone 13 review was largely positive, but we've pointed out that the lack of Touch ID is a flaw for the new iPhone. We wish that Apple would take added Affect ID support in the power button, as it has done in the iPad mini vi, or included an under-display Touch ID sensor.

As someone who is wearing a mask right at present while traveling, having to punch in a passcode each and every time I want to unlock the iPhone thirteen is annoying.

Here's hoping a fix for this upshot is released soon.
