You know how usually you can't restore from iCloud between major versions. Looks like they're now doing that with minor versions also.

For context, I 'shift+restored' back to 15.1 and then when phone came on and I logged into iCloud, I selected the latest backup and it then said 'in order to restore from this backup you must remain on the developer beta program' so it then updated me back to 15.2 and restored from iCloud.

Hopefully there is a workaround as i'm sure someone will need to take their phone in for service at some point and won't be able to without being on a 'release' version.

There is a work around but I haven’t had to use in ages. So I’m a little vague, but got enough info for you to research more.

You change the log file in the archived back up in finder/iTunes from 15.2 to 15.1, then your back up is excepted on the older iOS when you restore.

If you don’t need to restore though, just flash 15.1 on, finder/iTunes alt/shift click on check for update button, select the IPSW you’ve downloaded. Reinstalls the iOS like an update, doesn’t touch data or apps. Is worth a shot.

I always a do a shift restore but use the back up from your computer you make just before the process, not using an iCloud back up. Might be why.

Otherwise, what I explained in post 102. ??

Hmm. With what little is in this release, I would reckon it might have a short beta span, with 15.3 B1 being out before end of month, with UC.

That’s if Beta 2 doesn’t come with UC & MacOS 12.1 Beta 1…..

I wonder if most “traces” of UC are to be found on the Mac side. After all, we’ve seen evidence of it in Monterey’s settings during the beta period and the public release but never, to my knowledge, in iOS/iPadOS. That leads me to believe that it may already be baked into iOS sufficiently to work once it becomes active in Monterey.

Hopefully we find out later today!

Beta be larger due to logging, etc.

Yea, I'm not clear on what they are on about, as no explanation provided.

they do not occupy more for being beta, ios 15.0.2 occupied 8.81Gb and ios 15.1 occupied me 9.49Gb. always final and stable versions. increases in size because of the news and changes, not because they are beta

How good is the battery? My 13 pro max battery drain an heat after update to iOS 15.1

15.1 was great on my 13PM .. almost 2 days on a charge and no battery drain overnight ..its to early to tell on 15.2 since its only been installed for 20 hours but seems fine, no heat or dramatic drainage of the battery so far

Edit: 15.2 is a “beta” and will have analytics and logging running in the background so may have some strain on the battery..

Thank man! We’ve actually already been married a year but we never got to have the party so we just did everything over again. We’ve been planning for years and had to cancel twice so I’m happy it’s over and there’s thousands of pictures to go with the experience.

Congrats on your newcomer! We’ve been on that path since about six months ago so it’s only a matter of time!

I’ll never forget your swim-by prediction when you were on your honeymoon. I laughed so hard.

Our older folk in the UK still say it a lot and I think it’s lovely. No one would ever think it’s condescending being called dear by them (well, there will always be some ******** that’s offended by anything and everything of course). Jesus, some people need to get a grip.

Anyway, back on topic, does anybody know if hand washing reminders work yet please and thanks?

I hope you don’t think I was offended by it. We had a community eye roll when he told us the story and you’d think older folks would get a pass if they’re not being outwardly creepy when they say it. I’m just putting it out there for awareness.

??. Was fun creating it.

We had to cancel twice too. Relief it’s all done now.

You’ll get there buddy. It sneaks up you and then it’s all been so worth it.

It's a scary prospect because everything changes but when I spend time with my nieces and nephews I know I'm ready and I can't wait.

On 15.2, I've noticed that I have not had the overheating issue or the audio pausing when connecting to Bluetooth. I was watching a movie on my Apple TV connected to my AirPods 3 and there was quite a bit of crackling/breaking audio. Luckily I watch everything with captions so not the end of the world but annoying nonetheless.

Messages, Mail, and Photos makes sense:

Messages: so you can see people's names instead of just phone numbers and Apple IDs.
Mail: So you can see people's names instead of just E-mail addresses.
Photos: So you can see people's names in photos saved from the Messages app.

However, I'm not sure why App Store is using them.
