Thanks for explanation, this was very helpful. One more question please. I can do this restore via Finder with any IPSW anytime if Apple still signs version of iOS I want to install right? For, example today I can install iOS 15.1 RC with specific IPSW file and tomorrow I can download iOS 15.0.2 IPSW and restore my iPhone, right? No need to go to recovery mode etc?

yep. I’ve upgraded and downgraded my iOS using the “check for update” button holding alt select the IPSW.

That’s quick and easy, then if that doesn’t fix your issue, do a back up to Mac, then hold alt click restore and select the IPSW so your able to restore back onto the iOS your on and not letting finder do it by default to the latest official release.

difference is first option just wipes the iOS only and installs one of your choice, keep it to the same version though, 15 to 14 you might get trouble, 15.? to 15.? has been fine for me, And your apps and data aren’t touched.

2nd option, restore, wipes your whole phone and reinstalls the iOS via IPSW and then installs your latest back up so reinstalling apps and data. That can sort a whole host of issues out.

You’re welcome! Yep! I went from 15.1 back to 15.0.1 a while back with this method, then eventually went back to 15.1 and it worked perfectly! :)

I'm planning to update from IOS 14.8 to 15.1 when released. I usually restore when doing a major update. Is it OK to restore 15.1 along with a backup of 14.8, or better to restore 15.1 and set up as new?

Sorry, I couldn’t face explaining it again with how I was feeling about the cluster **** that is 15.1. Then I forgot to reply back to you.

Using dictation, when I say the words “full stop” it will add it and then about 20% of the time it will then automatically add a full paragraph.

It just did it there. When I had my new iPhone 13 pro max I didn’t even sign in with an Apple ID, I just connected it to Wi-Fi and it took 2 1/2 minutes to replicate the problem. I raised it with Apple during the iOS 14.1 days where it would actually type in the word paragraph rather than insert a paragraph so they have “improved” it somewhat . They promised a update would be released to fix the problem because they replicated it but of course they never did.

I’ve got a friend of mine to try on his phone, he’s also in the UK, and he has the identical problem. Different phones, but both on EE… Don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

However, oh and what a surprise, when the phone is set to United States the problem doesn’t exist and it works absolutely perfectly. And you also get visual look up (which is flippin’ brilliant) as a bonus but that’s another bone of contention which I’m not saying anything more about.

You do you. Each have their pros and cons. It ends up being personal preference.

Is it worth upgrading to RC from 15.0.2 or just wait for full public release.

Did not bother jumping on beta train this time.

Well, if things go the way Apple presumably wants them to, the RC will be the release. Frankly, if you've waited this long, I'd just wait til the public release. Then you don't need to go through the hassle of signing up for the beta program, installing the profile, etc...

on the iphone 11 pro, this RC occupies a little more than the betas, 9.49Gb compared to the 8.81Gb of iOS 15.0.2
At this rate, iOS 15 will end up occupying more than 10Gb just the system. It is noted that the new devices start from 128Gb hahaha

0.7 GB larger ... Omg !!!

No problem. I have no idea but it’s driving me nuts. I feel better that it isn’t just me but it’s also strange that so many others aren’t having these photo issues.

I don’t know if this will work for you or not, but under settings and messages, I turned off and then on photos in the ‘shared with you’ option. I then put my phone on to charge because of course it doesn’t do any photo curation unless it’s charging and went back and within an hour the shared with you section was back in photos.

The “Find My’ widget has a couple bugs still. For one, the widget will say “no location found” most of the time (until I tap on it to open it up in the app). Also, location label syncing between devices is still having issues.

Yes, the location labelling is absolutely screwed. If I change it on my iPhone it will invariably change back to another one but that change never ever reflects on my iPad. And if I try to make the change on the iPad it doesn’t stick anywhere at all, including the iPad.
