That does seem odd. I just checked my wife’s 12 which she got in September 2021 and it’s at 100%. But it is the standard 12 not a mini.
Been only about two days since it was released but battery already seems miles better on my 13PM over 15.4.1. I've been ending full days with 50%
What actually happens when you use "Erase all content and settings", at least on any 'recent' iOS device, is that a cryptographic key in the Secure Enclave, which is used to "wrap" the actual encryption key for the user data filesystem on the device, is wiped — this renders all data in the user data filesystem completely unreadable. (The system volume containing the OS itself is left untouched.) [Source]
A restore from Finder/iTunes actually wipes the device NAND and replaces the system volume with the contents of the IPSW restore image. [Source]
Functionally speaking, from the user's perspective, the end result is the same in both cases — a factory default device running either the existing software version or the version from a specific IPSW software image loaded from an external system.
Teach me your charging secret!
My 13PM charges like cold molasses whether stand, mag, or cable.
Plug it as often and as little as possible.
Overall speed is Ok, but the Safari app seems to lag more than others
I don’t know if the following is Apples arrogance or sheer stupidity, I suspect both, but in the UK I now have to refer to my curtains as shades if I want them to close/open using the biggest piece of crap ever invented Siri. I used to be able to say, for example, “close living room curtains”. Now it just says it’s done it even though nothing happens. I now have to say “close living room shades”! Also, it is now taking up to 8 attempts for anything to happen with my SOMA smart blinds. The whole experience truly gets worse with every single release.
For me, Siri has slightly improved in today's 15.6 beta.
My shortcut "I'm leaving" was working until around 15.4 after which Siri would basically say "ok, bye!" or some such bollocks. Now it runs my shortcut, and I no longer have to say "run I'm leaving" which was my workaround.

Cheers, didn’t even know there was an update! Updating as we speak
Of course, I go through the usual rigmarole of Wi-Fi disconnecting continuously while checking and trying to download updates on my iPhone FFS!
Going to give it a go. It can’t be any worse than the current update.

I lost email notifications after 15.5, I checked and everything is enabled. Im not getting any audio, I do get a notification in the notification centre and a badge, but no audio.
Have you gotten a new device recently? I wonder if that’s a leftover from the quick set up function when replacing a device or setting up a new one? No such setting appears under iCloud for me.
An update. I encountered the Safari text marking issue when I had 15.4.1 installed. When I installed the 15.5 IPSW without first erasing, the Safari text marking issue was still there. Even doing a Erase All Contents after installing the 15.5 IPSW did not resolve the issue. I had to do a Recovery Mode Restore and setup as a new device and then the issue was resolved. I spent a lot of hours yesterday trying resolve the issue. What really surprised and frustrated me the most was that doing a Erase All Contents would not resolve the issue. Still don't understand what the trigger is for the issue, what causes it to happen. It seems to be a severe software bug because it requires me to do a Recovery Mode Restore and setup as new device to resolve the issue. Apple is aware of the issue as I have sent them logs. Maybe it is fixed in 15.5 and I needed to do a clean install of 15.5. I am hoping 15.5 fixes this issue. It takes a lot of time, hours to setup my phone as a new device each time.
Are you absolutely sure? Whenever I installed the profile, not even a beta, the app would be moved to my home screen.
I’m having some strange problems with Safari in 15.5 on my iPhone and iPad and it’s also happening on my Mac with 12.4.
If I’m searching for something from Google.com and click a link to visit a search result page when I try back page to get to the Google search again it jumps back two pages instead of one. For example if I was on page 3 of the search results and view a site from the list, going back a page, dragging left to right or using the back button, puts me at page 1 of the results. Worse, if I was on the first result page to start I get a blank Google search on returning.
Also, many pages will not completely load, the progress bar will move about halfway and then just stop.
I’ve tried several things to fix these issues, turned off all extensions, cleared history and web data, made sure Private relay is off and even disabled iCloud sync for Safari but nothing has worked. I will say I’m not experiencing this using Firefox or MS Edge but I’d rather stick with Safari. Too, my other iPad running 15.4 is not having these problems.

Installing the profile installs Feedback assistant regardless of whether you install the beta software. Always has on my phone and iPad. Sometimes I want to wait for a later beta release but go ahead and install the profile and FBA until I decide to take a beta I’m comfortable with. Of course I have to ignore the alert badges on System Preferences till I’m ready. And of course removing the profile automatically removes FBA. But as mentioned entering that url into Safari will bring it back temporarily.
Yeah but thats what I was talking about. The App is there even if you don’t have a beta OS installed.
Correct, either front and center with the profile installed or hidden without it, but always there if you had it originally.
Something must be broken with certificates in iOS 15.5.
I have an internal mail server, that uses a self signed certificate from my own local CA, the CA root certificated is imported and trusted. This worked well until the last update this week.
After the updates it still works on macOS 12.4, but with iOS and iPadOS I can not connect to the server (no suitable signature algorithm). I double checked with Apples requirements for self signed certificates, these are fulfilled.
Strangely the same certificate still works for my calendar server and iOS.

You get the Fb app once you install the beta profile. It stays as long as you’re running a beta version after until you update to the RC. It goes away with the RC update.
