Hearing in the Aus forums that the gmail app is still laggy, shouldn’t be surprised, it is google after all.
Yep, noticed a big difference on the RC build, smoothness is off the scales. 👌🧈
Ready for 15.5 beta 1 tomorrow 🥳
I think they will release the beta of ios 15.5 tomorrow, they usually leave a day difference from the stable release
Why would it be at any different time than normal? Could be today or tomorrow.
I think the only big thing we’re still waiting for is the drivers license / Apple wallet thing here in the US.
Been off the beta train for a while, forgot.
Digital drivers license in Melbourne, yeah right, not with our granny state premier. ?♂️?
Only took the banks over here 5 years to agree to pay.
I speculate tomorrow at the earliest for 15.5….everyone will be downloading and watching Spider-Man, No Way Home today anyway…

$24.99 ? yeah nah, not happening, I’ll wait for the $6.99 rental. ?
I couldn't resist. I never got round to watching it at the Cinema. £13.99 isn't too bad to buy it.
Bargain at that price, just letting you know, it’s a spoiler free forum here lol.
I saw the commercial last night and pre-ordered it so it would be available today. I love Spider-Man and the Tom Holland ones are awesome. I like to have them to watch as a back-up on my iPad while traveling.
Well...maybe so for public release...but beta this week, no?
Agree he plays the character very well, see how I go, if I get impatience, I’ll end up renting it.
Yep, he could’ve said that, 100% we’ll see 15.5 beta 1 this week.
Calling it from now 24 minutes away.
Maybe
Hopefully
Likely this week, but if Gurman’s timing is correct, that will make for a long beta period.
We are roughly 11 weeks from WWDC right now. If I am doing my mental math correctly, the typical (non major release) beta is roughly 7 or 8 weeks (2 betas 2 weeks apart and then 3 or 4 additional betas a week apart. So, that implies either that the beta will be released before WWDC (a pretty safe bet, I think) or, less likely, it will not be starting up this week or (longer shot) it will be a prolonged beta period for some reason.
At the same time, I don’t see Apple getting 15.5 out the door, say by mid-May, and then starting a new beta for a hypothetical 15.6 the beta period for which would straddle WWDC. That’s not happening.
Well, last year, iOS 14.6 was released at the end of May which very well fits the “around WWDC” description. Like it doesn’t mean it has to be out on the same day, could be few weeks earlier and still be around WWDC. It’s up for an interpretation.
What about the new Classical Music experience? More likely that this is iOS16 or do we think it could appear in a 15.x update? Apple did introduce Spatial Audio in 14.6 at WWDC
Yes! I remember reading recently that this was rumored to be released with the Spring event, but I also remember reading a while ago that it was rumored to be released with iOS 16 & macOS 13. And of course I can't find any of those links now.. Rumors, though.
Apple's Press Release from when they purchased Primephonic back in August says that we can start seeing some of the new features "in the coming months", but that was about 6 months ago. I have a lot of Classical Music in my Music Library and haven't seen a single change (for better or worse). I just hope they don't make a separate app just for Classical music. I mean, then why not just make a Jazz app, too, while you're at it. Where'd all my folk music go? Oh it's in the Folkphonic app now lol (I kid)...
