What future? ? Any OS is a constant work in progress, in all likelihood Apple are already working on iOS 15.4 and probably way ahead. They previous iOS 15 releases were not so polished either. There is something holding it up at the moment, we are just not quite sure what. ??♂️
If iOS 15.4 is decent enough, or maybe even better in terms of bugs and efficiency, I’ll update for sure! But I am assuming that the iOS 15 development can go wrong at any moment, for instance, when they implement a big feature like Universal Control. I’ll wait and read the first impressions of early adopters, and depending on that I will keep updating or I’ll stay 15.3 like I have on iOS 14 so far.
iPhone 8, I am going to update anyways, unless some catastrophic bug is discovered in the last moment
By the way, the build number is 19D49. Should the letter be “closer” to A in a RC instead of a D? Thank you
They all went on the assumption that it would be Monday, like iOS 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2. Since it looked like it was pretty much a dead cert, they use the RC for the videos, so they can drop the videos for when the release is expected, for peak views. Heavily doubt Apple prompted them.
Doesn't matter, as we've seen time and again.
That capital D is not the quality control increment (I’m sure someone, like @TimFL1 ,knows what it’s really called). The capital D is the minor build version number, meaning that this is the 4th minor version of iOS 15 (the earlier ones being 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2 ).
What you are thinking of is the lower case letter that appears at the end of a build number for a beta. Those represent how many times the build had to be compiled before QC allows it to be released. That’s why you theoretically want those to be letters earlier in the alphabet, as it means the build had to be compiled fewer times before meeting quality control standards.
As you will note, the lower case letter is omitted from the release candidate build number.

I believe you are referring to the letter on the end of a beta build not the one just after the new build number indicating the minor build (example 19D5040e ) However that has no bearing either. That "D" you are referring to is the minor version.
15.0 is 19Axxx, 15.1 is 19Bxxx, 15.2 is 19Cxxx, and 15.3 is 19Dxxx
I believe the reference is meant to be the letter on the end of beta builds. Not the minor letter. (just assuming anyway)
HA beat me to the punch
I’d like to say that ours were complementary responses!
15.3 could be delayed due to this?

Doubtful. That’s server side stuff.
I think we will get it today.
I read yesterday that Apple was in trouble due to complaints from Ericson for its 5G patents. apparently apple was violating them and if things went ahead, they could ban the sale of the iphone for it in various regions. As Germany is one of the countries where 3 complaints have been filed, if it comes to this, they will surely request that ban throughout the European Union, which would affect me because I live in Spain.15.3 could be delayed due to this?

But the rc came out for all devices and software releases so it must be ready I’m sure it will be today or tomorrow
Unlikely, there is always a big gap between an “apparent patent violation” and the sales ban throughout one of Apple’s major markets. Let’s also not forget that Apple had to face lots of patent violation cases of all sorts throughout its history and either managed to dismiss or settle these cases.
Twice so far on the iOS 15.3 RC I've lost ability to see all Wireless networks, as if WiFi was just off all together. A Reboot 'fixes' it, and then after about 12 hours or so, boom, no wireless networks available at all again. I'm also seeing my S6 Apple Watch not automatically connecting to my home SSID, even though it IS listed among a bunch of other available networks. It doesn't seem to be a very widespread issue at all, though, from what I can find. I've also read about some wonky Siri behaviors, too. Battery drain has been an issue, but that's expected..
Here's to hoping they found some issues to correct and that's what's holding back a general release. ?
