I’m going to start a self help clinic, wanna join? But all electronic devices are banned and you must have your thumbs restrained with elastic bands during the session.

That would be a nice surprise from Apple. Anything is possible. Fingers are crossed.
Random thought: Gurman said 15.5 would be out at or near WWDC. However the first 15.5 beta has not been released and WWDC has not yet been announced. Might these 2 things be related? Hmmm...?

I do have a feeling we might get invites for WWDC? That seems more likely than an iOS beta drop today. 😵💫
It's just a typical timeframe. iOS 14.6 and 13.5 were released at the end of May.
I don't think iOS 15.5 will be released at the iOS 16 launch. It will be sooner, leaving the servers free and ready for the high demand that iOS 16 beta 1 will have. In addition, if they release beta 1 of iOS 15.5 this week, it will be almost two months of beta process, too long for a version that I don't think brings anything important or new.
It’s not the public release date I’m referring to. It’s the beginning of the beta.
Possibly (noting that you are already on Tuesday but we here in the US are still on Monday). But if not Tuesday, then likely next Tuesday.
Or maybe never…
Why we should hope Apple already stopped work on iOS 15 and macOS Monterey
It’s now been three weeks since any Apple operating system was in public beta testing. It seems work has stopped on significant updates to iOS 15, macOS

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a special day. Of course, I could be wrong but something is going to happen tomorrow morning. My fingers are crossed.
WWDC announced for June 6-10th.
Keep the train rolling Apple and announce some new betas today too!

I'd say the chance of a 15.5 beta 1 today just jumped to about 80%
The one thing with that is I can't imagine what they'd throw in there. If I'm not mistaken, we now have everything iOS 15 was supposed to come with (assuming of course you live in an area of availability...ID's in Arizona, for example). Unless Apple has some surprise "extras" in mind, I have a feeling everything between now and the first iOS 16 beta will just be bug fixes and stability...which are updates we HAVE seen betas for in the past, but also other times that we haven't.
I doubt there will be much. But, recall, 15.3 was more or less a bug fixing release, so having 15.5 serve the same function would not be terribly surprising.
Plus, there could be fixes or updates to Shortcuts (that happens in most releases) or the other first party apps.
So, yeah, nothing earth shattering but some good quality of life improvements perhaps.
However we may see 15.4.5 instead as no major features are being added. Most likely bug fixes.
I think it will be 15.5, not 15.4.5.
For one, Gurman said that's what it was going to be.
