Apple recently released their iOS 15 beta 1 software. We have already seen a couple of videos showcasing the software in action, and now we have a follow-up video that delves deeper into its features and improvements.
The new video from Zollotech gives us another look at what is new in iOS 15 beta 1. We also get to find out more details about a few of the bugs in the software.
New Features in iOS 15
As we can see from the video, there are a wide range of new features coming to the iPhone with iOS 15. Apple will also release iPadOS 15 at the same time, bringing similar enhancements to the iPad.
One of the standout features is the revamped FaceTime. Apple has introduced spatial audio to make conversations sound more natural and lifelike. Additionally, FaceTime now supports grid view, voice isolation, and wide spectrum audio options to improve call quality. The new SharePlay feature allows users to share experiences like watching movies, listening to music, or sharing their screen directly within FaceTime calls.
Apple’s Messages app is also getting significant updates. The new “Shared with You” feature collects content shared in Messages and displays it in the corresponding app, such as Photos, Safari, Apple News, and more. This makes it easier to keep track of shared content without having to scroll through conversations.
Improvements to Apple Maps, Weather, and Safari
Apple Maps is receiving a major overhaul with more detailed maps, including 3D landmarks, improved driving directions, and enhanced transit features. The new city experience offers rich details for neighborhoods, commercial districts, and buildings, making navigation more intuitive and visually appealing.
The Weather app has been redesigned to include more graphical displays of weather data, full-screen maps, and dynamic layouts that change based on conditions. This makes it easier for users to understand the forecast at a glance.
Safari is also getting a significant update with a new tab bar design that floats at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to reach with one hand. The new tab groups feature allows users to save and organize tabs, making it easier to switch between different browsing sessions. Additionally, Safari now supports extensions on iOS, bringing more customization options to mobile browsing.
Bug Fixes and Performance Enhancements
While iOS 15 beta 1 introduces many exciting features, it is still in the testing phase, and users have reported encountering some bugs. The video from Zollotech highlights a few of these issues, such as occasional app crashes and minor glitches in the user interface. Apple is expected to address these bugs in subsequent beta releases leading up to the official launch.
We are expecting iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 to be released sometime in September, along with the new iPhone 13 handsets. This timeline aligns with Apple’s usual release schedule, giving developers and beta testers a few months to identify and resolve any remaining issues.
