When to expect the new version of iOS 15?
Apple Inc. is preparing for a major update to its mobile software
Changes under development,planned to be included in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, in upcoming major software updates for the iPhone and iPad. The Cupertino, California-based tech giant will announce the software updates, codenamed Sky, at its worldwide developer conference starting June 7, sources said.
Apple releases major updates every yearsoftware for all of its key devices so that people stay connected to its ecosystem, sell more devices, and encourage developers to create new applications. Apple usually releases updates around September before new iPhones launch. With a few weeks left until WWDC, the company could still change features or postpone them until a later update.
After the announcement of the new iOS, it becomes available to developers for testing and, as a rule, later in the summer, as a public beta version.
The final version of iOS 15 will likely be released inSeptember along with iPhone 13. Even though the iPhone 12 was delayed until October last year due to the pandemic, we still saw the release of iOS 14 in September. So you can bet that iOS 15 will follow the same schedule.
Design changes
As you know, Apple has always been very carefulwhen it came to introducing changes to the interface of their operating systems. The company was chipping away the appearance of widgets until 2020. Android has implemented them much earlier. The system of this year's sample will also receive noticeable external innovations.
Now, insiders suggest that iOS widgetsinsiders promise a rethink towards more interactivity. In particular, they will be taught how to adjust the volume or turn on / off a function. In addition, users will be able to choose the size of the widget, which is not yet available on the iPhone. And iPadOS is still not capable of adding such blocks to the grid of application icons.
Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, famous forWith accurate product predictions, Apple said that for iOS 15, developers will seriously rethink the concept of the lock screen. Judging by the preliminary information, Apple will take the path of increasing functionality and customizing this part of the interface. Users are supposed to be allowed to run various options from it.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, whose insights are consideredone of the most truthful, has repeatedly stated that in 2021, the iPhone will increase the display frequency to catch up with competitors. It is possible that the Always On Display mode will appear, allowing OLED devices to display important information on the screen off.
Apple's recent app icon updateMusic for Artists has given rise to speculation that the Cupertino designers are busy preparing a massive redesign of the operating system, abandoning the flat design style.

Working with notifications
It is also reported that the company plansnew feature. It will allow users to set different notification settings, such as whether the phone makes a sound or not, depending on their current status. The improvement will come in the form of a new menu that allows users to choose whether they are driving, working, sleeping or selecting custom categories. The menu will appear on the updated lock screen and in Control Center, the iPhone and iPad menu for quick access to settings.
In addition, it will be possible to installautomatic replies to messages depending on their status. This will be an improvement over the current answering machine feature, which is currently only available while driving. Apple has added some unique notification features such as Do Not Disturb and Sleep, but this will be the first time the company will offer a system-wide feature to change notifications based on a user's status.
The company is also working on updating iMessage.to eventually become more of a social network and better compete with Facebook Inc.'s WhatsApp. According to People, these changes are still in the early stages of development and may come at a later date.
Default apps
We know about changes in functionality in iOS 15much less than design. So, information was leaked that Cupertino is going to turn the iMessage messenger into a competitor to WhatsApp and Telegram. Although it is emphasized that plans can be implemented much later than the release of iOS 15.
According to a March report from the tech sitePhoneArena, iOS 15 may let you change more default apps. In iOS 14, you could change the default Safari and Mail settings to other browsers and email apps. The upcoming iOS 14.5 update will also change the default music platform from Apple Music. iOS 15 may allow more of these tweaks.
Wishes for a new OS
iOS 14 was a major update with many improvements, but there are still some things iOS 15 can do better.
-
Supports all devices
The iPhone 6S will most likely not receive iOS 15.It looks like the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and the first iPhone SE will not be able to update to version 15 of the OS. However, given the many lawsuits against Apple, users would like to change their devices less often. -
Wiser Siri
Siri is constantly improving with the release of newiOS versions. But even if everything is fine with a smart assistant now, there is always room for improvement. Google's voice assistant has come much further, as has Amazon's Alexa. Siri needs to better understand users by providing useful and accurate answers to questions rather than sending them to a search engine. -
Translation into multiple languages
In iOS 14, Apple launched a translation appin the operating system. However, the system was limited to supporting only 12 languages. This is much less than Google Translate and other competing services.
How do I download the preview and final versions of iOS 15?
Apple Developer Program membersiOS 15 beta downloads will be available for developers when the new OS is announced in June to test apps. The OS will likely be available for download as a public beta later in the summer (it was in early July for iOS 14), so you can download it then if you want, but be warned: betas usually contain bugs.
As soon as iOS 15 becomes generally available, which isexpected in September, Apple will likely send you a notification letting you know you can upgrade. Or you can do it manually by going to the Settings app > "Basic" > "Software Update".
