I feel quite smug here as quite a few doubted my speculation of 15.1.1 dropping
With 15.1.1 out today, I doubt that 15.2 will drop to public before Thanksgiving.
iOS 14.3 only had 3 betas. With UC coming this Fall, Apple May drop 15.3 beta 1 this week or early next.
It would not have because, because ios 15.1.1 seems that it is only available for the iphone 12 and 13 to correct a serious error. although I do not understand this release, as they have been experiencing it for several weeks in ios 15.1. I have the feeling that they have taken too long to do it, if it really was as serious as they indicate.
So do we think Apple was trying fix True Tone, broke auto brightness in the process, but had to go with that version because it was the beta 3 cut off?!?
Haha! Well; to be fair, last time I went full hard line, Apple surprised us all, so I should have seen this coming!
That’s a new thing tho, that 15.1.1 came out so long after the tvOS & audioOS equivalent! ?
As I said before, I would be happy to be wrong. So, I’m happy to have egg on my face ??
Happy you got it, now you starting the campaign for 15.1.2? ?
Well, to be fair, it was fairly unlikely based on Apples SOP. We see people wanting a hot fix release seemingly for the sake of it and it never comes. Just that this time, it did.
This has no impact on 15.2. Especially as it’s just for certain devices. Apple has a schedule, so the 15.x releases will come when they want them to. The 15.x.x releases are more flexible, as they’re the urgent fixes.
There seems to be some confusion updating using Windows with the IPSW.
What works for me:
Download IPSW and save to desktop.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and if there is an new update iTunes will ask to download and install. Click cancel.
While holding the Shift key, click check update.
A window will open up and then navigate to desktop, or where ever you saved the IPSW.
Click on the IPSW and iTunes will start extracting the file.
Caution: During the extraction iTunes will prompt your phone for the password. If you don't enter the password within
a few seconds, it will throw a default and say unable to update and you'll have to start all over. Once the password is entered, every thing else is automatic.
After update, turn phone off after a couple of minutes and back on. I've had zero problems and data loss using this method.
If downgrading to a previous IOS version the same exact procedure works, 0% data loss.

i would say 15.2 next but you never know……..
Thanks man. Good to know for when people get stuck and they only have windows. Appreciated ??
Only for S7. I have a S7 non-cellular and not seeing the update either so maybe it's only for the cellular S7 only?
You would think RC 1, or UC will be delayed till 2022.
Yeah you’d think wouldn’t you.
If the RC is a big bug fix, ha, then 15.3 B1 following week, on weekly’s, to get UC out quick and tested fast to make there launch date. ??
