I’m calling 15.2.1 today and beta 2 tomorrow.
I'm torn.. I would assume that Apple's just been on holiday and hasn't been working on the betas or the official releases. No reason to assume a 15.2.1 release because Apple hasn't really been taking the many leftover issues seriously, it seems, and that HomeKit bug is pretty scary.

But then again, I can't see waiting this long so far (yes, I know the holidays were mashed in there), and then waiting even more until (potentially) February. Seems like too long, no? Apple's been known to incorporate security fixes & whatnot from a beta release into the stable release in a point release like that before, saving some new feature(s) for the beta/future release still.

Regardless of that, I'd assume there'd be a 15.3 b2 release today in about 5 hours & 20 minutes :)

What does it have to do with CarPlay? ??‍♂️

Ah, I didn't see the original quote I was responding to but I am also having issue with CarPlay triggering my driving focus mode automatically. Submitted that one in November and the bug report is still open as well.

I have not noticed any issues with my (wired) CarPlay on iOS 15.2. What’s wrong with it?

Well, since 15.0 my CarPlay with my 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid has a nav volume issue: when listening to FM radio station and Siri nav voice starts talking, it no longer lowers volume on radio. So I get to hear both things loud and it’s hard to decipher.

Do you have "Directions on Radio" enabled?

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.

Exactly this.

No chance Apple will go without an update on Jan. My money is on 15.2.1 very soon.
15.2 came out Dec 10th. Unless 15.3 has a small beta cycle, I can’t see Apple going almost two months with no public updates. 5 betas would put us end of Jan, early Feb.
To both of you: iOS 14 had 14.3 release on December 14th and then 14.4 released January 26th and nothing in between. iOS 13 went from 13.3 on 10th December to 13.3.1 on 28th January. iOS 12.4.4 on December 10th and iOS 12.4.5 on January 28th. So, you're seeing a pattern that goes against your guesses/claims....

So can see next release being 15.3 at end of January/Early February. As mentioned, we know 15.3 will be a small beta cycle, as 15.4 needs to come out and beta for UC and the event in March.......

iOS 14.3 (which was in the same time frame), only had 3 betas and release. Seeing at 15.3 does not have much to it, I can see it being 2/3 betas, with release last week of January/first week of February.

Looks like they are teasing us making us wait :) but honestly I know we all want something but the longer the better I guess
