Can't get to my phone calls or use my iPhone X as a phone. loops back to Home Screen. Closed down phone and did a cold restart and it cured the issue.

I’ve been on the iOS 15 beta since B1 and can certainly understand someone not particularly liking it but I think most iOS aficionados get used to the new upgrade. Personally I wouldn’t revert back to iOS 14. I have an iPad and phone both running 15.1
I will say this though, Apple can certainly take some lessons from android in the widget department. I know developers create the widgets but geez, maybe they need to call up some android widget developers and ask for help.
iOS 15 is fine on my iPhone XR. However, iPadOS 15 was a train wreck. The Home page changes were stupid and ugly and less useful than 14.x, and the interface changes to Safari were even worse. I hated it. iPadOS 15 must have been written by monkees on loan from the Google Zoo. It sucks so bad that I downgraded to 14.8, and I’ve never downgraded any OS from any company ever in the past.

@Banglazed : off topic but in forum. Do you know why the iOS 15 forum can’t be made into a Home Screen shortcut? I’ve been able to do it on every other forum but when I try to make iOS 15 forum a shortcut it always just brings up the previous page, the forum list.
If I do it in any previous forum, that iOS version’s page is linked.

Is it perhaps because its a Wiki thread?

My observation is that all threads by users point to the home page “https://forums.macrumors.com/?_pwa=1” while MR posts do not when trying to add to Home Screen. I tried to edit the URL when trying to add it but it’s not editable when adding to Home Screen. Maybe a staff could provide more insight into it.

Yeah, it’s weird https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-14.224/
That page works and: https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-15.233/
Doesn’t work. They look the same to me expert the title. Maybe Add to Home Screen didn’t just take the URL but interacts to grab a page in the metadata somehow🤷🏻‍♂️ I dunno. Thanks for the replies

Question, if we update to 15.1, I forget did Apple enable a way for us to upgrade to a new iPhone 13 without having to wait for the new beta profile? I remember something like this earlier this year?

This is just my opinion but 15.1 has some issues and is not any different from 15.0 aside from SharePlay only and its not working that great ..so if you don’t care about SharePlay right this second . Do Not Upgrade.. just my opinion

I think the easy answer (and what occurred in the past) is that a build of 15.1 that is compatible with the new phones will drop early Friday. Just install the beta profile on your new iPhone and the beta will be there waiting for you.

Has anyone gotten shareplay to work?
greyed out in FaceTime between two 15.1 devices. Neither Apple TV + or Apple Music show up in the SharePlay settings.

If I remember correctly, iOS devices prompt you to update to the version of iOS you’re restoring your iPad from. i.e. if your backup is 14.8 and the device is running 14.7, it prompts an update to 14.8. I’m not sure if this is exactly how it works, but the only time I ever got a prompt to update to the newest version during setup was when I was setting up my mom’s new iPad, which shipped with 14.5 but her iPad was on 14.6.

I do remember them mentioning something like this in that they will prompt that "other versions are available" or something like that. Plus, I am curious to see what is actually backed up and transmitted with this redesigned "Prepare for New iPhone" option.

It seems odd that they wouldn't offer you the option to transfer and install an installed beta profile then download the beta OS if desired during setup.

Did anybody successfully added their vaccination proof to wallet? My province uses the SMART health card standard but when I scan my QR code, I receive an error in the Health app.

Entertaining reading this morning, folks. Thanks!

For the first time in as long as I can remember, upgrading OTA introduced a plethora of bugs and I ended up doing a full reset. Bluetooth audio was randomly pausing itself in the car. Swiping down for spotlight would bring up the search bar but no keyboard. These issues persisted through soft and hard reboots. So far so good after the reset last night.

To sound like a broken record here, soz, I went from b8 to RC and to final release the old fashioned way, Finder alt select IPSW, and didn’t feel any of the bugs OTA caused. Having done that, used the same method for a clean start with 15.1.

So far, bar the iPhone storage bug, so good 👍🏼

My Macbooks are so old I don't even know how the Finder update works. Two Pros I've kept just for music library management (before I got into Apple Music) are from 2008 and 2010 and still work, albeit molasses in Wisconsin January slow.

Something is really bugging me in iOS 15. If I want to delete an whole message tread I now have to check each message one by one . In iOS 14 I only touched one , then more and had the choice to delete all .
Is this fixed now in 15.1 Beta 1 ?

I'm wondering about the restore too. The last backup I made was with iOS15 beta, then I sold the phone. Today I will receive the iPhone 13. I hope to restore my data. I don't care if it's with the regular iOS15 oder the 15.1 beta.
But to lose all my data would be not a great thing...
