Content Blocker has been renamed (moved?) to extensions (at least in German) under Safari and it actually shows the blockers again (didn’t do it on the previous beta).

There is also a link to open the App Store to get additional extensions
Have you figured out how to reload a website without content blockers? It seems to have moved from the long press of refresh ?
 
I don’t understand this logic. The old design was wasted space because it obstructed content behind. The new one is the opposite of wasted space because it puts that space to good use and puts buttons there.
The only “usefulness” from this new design is from the share and bookmark buttons. And those were just a long press away in the old design. And it looked much cleaner in the old design with the tab scrolling being quite obvious. Now it looks like it’s out of place and they removed the slide gesture for tabs.
They should just give the option to switch between the old and new design instead of permanently placing that ugly bar on the bottom.

Sadly AirPods Pro connectivity issues still haven’t been fixed from the last beta.
Do you know if this is only affecting the Airpods, or bluetooth in general? I don't use my phone much for music but have not noticed anything on my end. Of course, I use a BT headset, not apple or beats.
 
Irritated with some people. Like, how do you want Apple to redesign UI, but then go crazy when they do change it. Theyll never give us a redesign with this attitude.

Literally with any new user interface or one you haven’t used before, it will take time to learn or get used to. I’m glad apple is giving choice, just for these people stuck in the past.
 
No PB 6 yet and we still don't have a PB for latest beta for watch yet even though beta 5 was released to developers last week. Their update cycle right now is so chaotic!

Not sure why you do the public beta when dev beta is easy to join
 
500 features/changes on iOS 15 to see here. Might cheer you up a bit.

can't find much, it's all so small. would have liked to see some more special things. like other icons or notification screen etc. Other widgets…. maybe it will come. been looking at the same screen for years. It’s a update from 14. 🤷🏻‍♂️😬

No. 3 options would be . Might as well add an option for every change they’ve made so bar in the betas.

Long pressing to access everything was terrible before. The whole bar was a jumbled mess. Every time I tried to tap the URL bar I accidentally tapped the tiny refresh button. I’m glad they got rid of all that and kept the only good idea from the new Safari which was the swipe gesture tab bar.

Actually I think they should just add the tab bar to the top also. There’s no reason not to unless they want to punish people who don’t want the bar at the bottom.

I’ve only used my APP and it happens quite often. Doesn’t happen with my car stereo though.

It’s not necessarily true. I’ve always been into UX and UI, and quite often I’m choosing products based on their UI. I’ve always hated that people don’t easily accept UI changes, however I’ve never been among them. In fact, what made me interested in software engineering when I was 8 years old was software products with different then UIs than what was common at the time. This still hasn’t changed. iOS 7 was my favourite iOS release, as well as macOS Yosemite and Big Sur, cuz of their UI refreshes. However, there is a big difference between getting used to a UI change and a bad UX, which the new Safari in my opinion is. It got better with Beta 6, thankfully, Apple is listening to all the feedback. As we’ve seen in the past, Apple doesn’t usually change stuff they think it’s okay just based on user feedback. As they did now, it is another indication it was a wrong decision and someone in the team has eventually realised it.


Even if better in Beta 6, I still think Safari 15 is worse in iPadOS and Monterey (I don’t like the outlined address bar, the style of the tabs, among some bugs) than Safari 14. Btw, the Safari update was the only thing that got me excited from the WWDC21 announcements. However, after using it, it quickly turned into a disappointment.

I strongly disagree. I can understand hitting the URL bar when you’re trying to hit the refresh button cuz it’s small. I don’t get how the opposite could happen so much for you.
Adding the tab bar to the top would be the dumbest idea Apple could possibly come up with. iOS 14 Safari was fine but you don’t fill up the screen with useless bars just cuz you have the real estate. The whole point of a redesign is so you could see more content and a cleaner and minimal UI not go back to 2007.
