I don't believe it does. I think it's more of an addiction to the thrill of a new release but I can only speak for myself. In regards to 15.2, I have no idea how it is because I've been on 15.3 since before Christmas.
Got a tip for us?

I don't use CarPlay unless I'm navigating an area with which I'm unfamiliar and the Bluetooth connection to my head unit is rock solid on 15.3.
Have you considered updating to 15.3?

Happy Monday, y’all! Sending out prayers to Apple God’s… today is the day we receive some sort of an update. Have mercy on us Apple. Let’s get it! 🙏
It’s very tempting but will see if a 15.2.1 fixes things first.
At least iCloud syncing might me fixed then..
Lol watch it be only like 1-2 builds newer or some bs..
Yes it will be 8 to 12 builds newer like normal.
In what way? I am genuinely curious as so far I haven't noticed anything out of ordinary. I am using carplay on daily basis, maps, music, siri commands, navigation commands from calendar etc.
True Tone is still wildly inconsistent for me and has been since iOS 15.
On which device(s)? Works quite well on my iPhone 12 but the iPad (9th generation) feels less consistent and a touch too cool.
I wouldn’t rule it out completely, but yeah, I agree that 15.3 is what we are really looking forward. Probablem is, it’s still on its first beta, and it won’t be ready until February at this point.
I bet tomorrow we’ll be having iOS 15.3 beta 2
Given that the Apple team didn't work for nearly 2 weeks, I'd say that's unlikely. As the others have said, it will probably be the normal 10-12 build increment.
I am also in the "no 15.2.1" camp. I think there will be a quick turn on 15.3, with a release in early February (if not sooner) followed by the big kahuna: 15.4 b1, timed for a public release in late March.
No chance Apple will go without an update on Jan. My money is on 15.2.1 very soon.
13 Pro Max.
Not a hardware issue since some builds throughout the beta cycle outright fixed it whereas some broke it completely.
Thanks for answering—I had a sinking suspicion that it was a 13-series device. Sorry for non-speculation, everyone, and happy 200th page!
You reminded me to check my Feedback app and it looks like I submitted the bug report for this all the way back in October and it’s still open…
One last inquiry: Are you running 15.2 or the 15.3 beta? If you’re on the public release it may be a good idea to give the beta a go, especially since there is more certainty it should soon receive an update.
2 months is pretty much the norm. 6-8 weeks per update.
