We saw a significant number of updates and improvements in this release.
The video below from Brandon Butch gives us another look at the latest beta of Apple’s iOS 15 software and its new features.
New Features in iOS 15 Beta 3
The new iOS 15 beta 3 software is now available for developers to test out, and we are also expecting the public beta of the software to land soon. The software brings a wide range of new features to the iPhone, enhancing user experience and functionality. Some of the notable features include:
1. Focus Mode Enhancements: Focus mode has been improved to allow users to filter notifications and apps based on their current activity, such as work, personal time, or sleep. This helps in minimizing distractions and staying focused on the task at hand.
2. FaceTime Upgrades: FaceTime now supports spatial audio, making conversations sound more natural and lifelike. Additionally, FaceTime links can be created and shared, allowing users to schedule calls and invite friends on Android and Windows devices.
3. Notification Redesign: Notifications have been redesigned with larger icons and improved organization. A new notification summary feature provides a quick overview of non-urgent notifications, helping users manage their time better.
4. Live Text: This feature allows users to interact with text in photos. For example, you can copy and paste text from a photo, look up information, or even translate text in real-time.
5. Safari Overhaul: Safari has received a major redesign with a new tab bar that floats at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to reach with one hand. Tab groups allow users to save and organize tabs for different tasks or projects.
6. Privacy Enhancements: iOS 15 introduces new privacy features, including Mail Privacy Protection, which hides your IP address and prevents senders from knowing when you open an email. The App Privacy Report provides an overview of how apps are using your data.
iPadOS 15 Beta 3 and Other Updates
Apple also released a new beta for the iPad, iPadOS 15 beta 3. This update brings similar features to the iPad, along with some iPad-specific enhancements:
1. Multitasking Improvements: iPadOS 15 makes multitasking more intuitive with a new multitasking menu that appears at the top of apps, allowing users to enter Split View or Slide Over with a single tap.
2. Widgets on Home Screen: Widgets can now be placed among apps on the Home Screen, providing more flexibility and customization options.
3. Quick Note: This feature allows users to quickly jot down notes from any app or screen using the Apple Pencil or keyboard shortcuts.
Apple is expected to release their iOS 15 software update in September, coinciding with the launch of the new iPhone 13 lineup. We are anticipating four new iPhones this year: the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Each model is expected to come with various improvements, including better cameras, faster processors, and enhanced battery life.
In addition to the iPhone, Apple will also release their new Apple Watch Series 7 at the same time, along with the new watchOS 8 software update. The Apple Watch Series 7 is rumored to feature a new design with flatter edges, improved health monitoring capabilities, and better battery life.
As soon as we get some details on exactly when the new iOS 15 software update is coming, we will let you know. Stay tuned for more updates and information on Apple’s latest software and hardware releases.
