Right - there have been a few unique times where iOS has dropped later in the day, as I distinctly recall.

I also agree that 15.6 brings nothing to lose sleep over.

@phillytim

tvOS 15.6 (for the Apple TV), solves at long last the infamous Atmos issues that have been so prevalent the last few months, and audioOS 15.6 (for the homepods), fixes completely the Apple Music lossless playback issues (popping, scratching, and so on).


As for IOS, yes 15.5 is quite solid.

I can see where you could have suffered from annoyances, and eagerly awaiting 15.6 👍

I just want to get the final release so I can make a backup and move onto the 16 beta.

You can do that with the release candidate. Even if there were another RC or the publicly released version were a few builds higher, you could still restore to it.

From an encrypted backup to my Macbook? If so I probably will. Didn't investigate that much since I expected the 15.6 release was around the corner...

You can always restore older backup onto newer versions of iOS like 15.6 RC2 backup onto anything released after 15.6 RC2 be it RC3 or iOS 16 even. It's the contrary that wouldn't work.

Ok, I´ll ask the question: Do you think there will be another IOS 15 release BEFORE the IOS 16 final release?

I doubt it. We’re 5 weeks from iOS 16. There might be some X.x.x releases between now and then but I think the point releases will end at 15.6.

So if anything comes at all before IOS 16, it will be a 15.6.1 or something like that, no?

iOS 14.8 came out last year without a beta very close to the release of iOS 15 so we could possibly see something like that later this month or at the start of September.

I’m sure they could do something like this. As I recall that was a zero user-feature release and got its designation as a minor (as opposed to a point) release due to API changes necessitated by the nearly concurrent release of 15.0.

Yes. That’s my thinking, but see my post immediately above for my response to another query. In any event, I think we’re done with iOS 15 betas.

Yes.

Maybe some bugfix tertiary releases, but I think even those will only get released for iOS 16-unsupported devices.
