hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
today apple released ios 15.5 to the
public this is available to all ios 15
supported devices from the iphone 6s all
the way up to the iphone 13 pro max and
is available at the same time everywhere
around the world now this particular
update can vary greatly depending on
whether or not you're a beta tester or
you're installing it coming from ios
15.4.1
meaning that it could be anywhere to
five gigabytes or it could be as little
as a gigabyte or so depending on your
device so it just varies depending on
what device you're using and what
version you're actually coming from now
along with this apple also released ipad
os 15.5 a watch os 8.6 along with tvos
15.5 mac os 12.4 and homepod os 15.5 all
of those are available now
now as far as the build number let's
take a look at that and then we'll talk
about what's new so we'll go to settings
then we'll go to general then about you
can see the build number is 19f77
and this particular update is the same
version that you had if you were on the
release candidate meaning that if you're
a beta tester you just had it about a
week early or so so just uninstall the
beta profile reboot and you'll already
be on the final version if you're not on
a beta test then you should have the
update
now as far as what's new well this
particular update does have a modem
update in it if you're coming from the
public version of ios 15.4.1 or earlier
meaning maybe you were having issues
with connectivity switching between 4g
and 5g that's been updated as well in
this update so hopefully that's better
if you were having issues with it as far
as new features and changes well the
first thing has to do with apple wallet
so if we go into the wallet app within
the wallet app you'll see we have apple
cash if you have an apple cash card you
can now send and request money you see
the options here where you can press
send or request and you have those
options built in now if you go to pay at
a terminal they've updated the card as
well you'll see if we want to pay it
says debit visa prior to this it was
discover so now it's visa and they've
just changed the networks that it works
from also within messages they've
updated it so it now says apple cash you
have an apple icon in cash where before
it said apple and pay so nothing huge
but that's below where you actually put
in your text messages you can just tap
and then you can pay directly from apple
cash if you're paying to someone that
can receive it so that's been updated
and then also being tested on apple's
own campus you'll soon be able to tap to
pay using your phone to another phone so
that's something that's built into the
code that's not yet available but that's
something coming in the future
now as far as other updates and changes
well there's changes to podcasts so if
you use apple's podcast app there's some
new settings under settings and then
podcasts
under podcasts you'll see automatically
download now you have the option to
delete more of those shows after you've
downloaded them based on a time duration
so you can have it download and keep the
latest episode per show 2 3 5 10
episodes per show or the last 24 hours 7
days 14 days 30 days or all episodes and
you'll see below it says remove older
automatic downloads by limiting how many
are kept on this phone this default
setting will not affect shows with
customized settings so that's something
they've updated in 15.5 also within
weather they've updated it so if we go
into weather and you're in your local
area indicated by the little arrow here
make sure you're there scroll down if we
scroll down keep scrolling you'll see it
says report an issue there's a new box
here before this was just text and now
you can report an issue within weather
so if we tap on see more you'll see that
we can report the overall conditions
whether it's sunny has sleet or snow
report the temperature wind air quality
and other conditions and also give a
description of what it's like whether
it's chilly pleasant unpleasant dry calm
and so on so that's something that's new
in 15.5 before it was just a text now
it's a box that indicates that you can
actually report the overall conditions
now with ios 15.4 we gained universal
control but it was in beta so on the
ipad if you have a supporting ipad that
uses universal control you'll see if we
go to general and then airplane handoff
it says cursor and keyboard prior to
this it actually said beta so this used
to be in a beta now it's final it should
be complete and should no longer have
any issues if you were having those so
it says allow your cursor and keyboard
to be used on any nearby mac signed into
your icloud account it just used to say
beta now it's complete and no longer in
beta now if you play a lot of games on
your ipad or your iphone and you use
maybe a controller such as ps5 or an
xbox controller well on the ps5
controller developers can now enable the
triggers to actually give feedback so
where the ps5 dual dualsense adaptive
triggers work really well on a ps5
developers can now implement those
changes and give you feedback through
the triggers if they want to set that up
within this update so that's up to the
developers hopefully we'll see that
utilized in future games so it's great
if you've ever used these triggers they
give incredible feedback and it just
adds to playing a game with the
controller
now there's also additional support for
past key technology and pesky technology
allows you to log into a website more
easily so if maybe you go into safari
and you go into a different website that
allows you to log in it can now use
passkey technology to just use face id
and log you in quickly now this has to
be enabled by the developers so it may
take a while for us to see this but now
the support is there in 15.5 where a
developer can enable that now also for
developers there's some new features if
maybe you want to test for overall
throughput and in order to see these you
can go into settings and in order to see
these new settings you have to go into
developer but to see that you need to
connect to a computer and open up xcode
and then plug in your iphone so we'll do
that here once you have xcode open just
plug in your iphone
and give it just a moment here and if we
scroll down keep scrolling you'll see
developer options are there now so these
will pop up once you plug this in with
xcode open and under developer you can
see here if we scroll down we now have
an option for run throughput test if we
go into run throughput test you can now
run ping packet loss tests idle ping
latency download speed or upload speed
so this just helps with developers
testing the overall latency and
throughput when they're trying their app
out so it's nice to see them add that
now there's also additional features for
developers built in that have to do with
shareplay where we have a nice icon
where we can share maybe when we're in
the tv app so if we go into tv and maybe
we want to share an episode with a
friend so maybe we want to share the
show severance and we have this nice
share play icon developers or
third-party developers can now add that
option where you have that nice icon as
well now additionally for developers
they've added c plus 20 and c plus 23
features that have been added in the
code for developers so they can utilize
those as well
now within this update there's some bug
fixes also and the one thing that they
mention has to do with home automations
so maybe in the home app you're using
automations and sometimes when you
arrive or leave you can have that
trigger in automation
prior to this update sometimes that
could fail so maybe you had it set to
unlock your door lock when you arrive
home and it just wouldn't work sometimes
or when you leave it doesn't lock
automatically that should be resolved in
this update so that's something they've
resolved now as far as the storage bug
that many people have been having as far
as excess storage being used it looks
like that's resolved in this update if
we go to general and then we go to
iphone storage give it a moment to load
here we'll let it load here and also on
the iphone 11 it seems to load much
faster on the iphone 11 so we'll give it
just a second here
and if we scroll all the way down the
storage bug resulted in massive amounts
of system data being used that seems to
be resolved in this update for most
people where it's using between four and
ten gigabytes this can actually change
over time and will update over and over
as needed but typically it should be
using between about five to ten
gigabytes sometimes more but many people
were reporting that prior to this update
it could use as much as 50 gigabytes so
most people are reporting it seems to be
better as far as the phone overheating
or getting too warm for some people this
seems to be resolved in 15.5 according
to most people that have used the
earlier versions and then also apple has
mentioned a few things they've resolved
as well they've resolved three issues
and two of them have to do with matter
accessories within the home app so if
your accessory supports matter those
issues should be resolved and then also
store kit issues have been resolved so
those are more developer facing but
those should be resolved as well
there are some known issues as well and
the first one has to do with music apple
has publicly acknowledged this and
you'll see here on the iphone 11 i have
spotify in the bottom right now maybe i
want to download apple music we'll do
that in the app store you'll see it
starts to download and it's replaced
spotify in the dock without me changing
the icon even though i haven't removed
spotify this is an odd bug but it
replaces whatever you had in the dock as
far as music and will just put it back
in its original location so it's
something that's a bug again it's been
acknowledged by apple
also within the notes there's 10 known
issues that they've mentioned also to do
with matter accessories well those
matter accessories work but now you can
pair up to five matter accessories so
there's still a bug where it's not fixed
one hundred percent there's also
additional issues with health when maybe
trying to add blood oxygen features from
within the app it could crash and then
purchasing or downloading content again
from itunes or maybe the tv app
sometimes could fail and apple says to
reboot the device in order to resolve
that issue additionally there's also
issues with conversation transcripts
where they wouldn't scroll after maybe
viewing a photo in quick look so you
pressed and hold on the photo and then
sometimes it wouldn't work you'd have to
back out of that conversation and reopen
it and then also emergency sos call with
five presses may still be disabled for
all users outside of india to fix an
issue that caused this setting to
unintentionally default for some now it
seems to be working for me if i do five
presses here so one two three four five
i can swipe to go to emergency sos so it
seems to be working but it won't just
work by default there were some bugs
with it and it still seems to be an
issue there's also additional bugs that
may affect developers as well so that's
something apple needs to resolve and
hopefully they'll get that resolved
within the next version
now as far as security updates apple
always updates security on every version
of ios and you can see those security
updates by going to apple's security
website so on apple's security website
if we scroll down after they release the
update it takes a little bit for them to
update this site for some reason so
within the next couple of hours expect
it to be updated with all their security
updates as well where they'll tell you
one by one what's resolved as far as
that goes now that leads me to should
you install ios 15.5 and i would say
absolutely if you're coming from ios
15.4.1 due to security updates
additional features and bug fixes and
most people saying it has a positive
impact on their battery i would
definitely recommend installing it so if
you haven't installed it already i would
recommend that as far as battery life
goes it's been pretty good overall most
people are getting through a day without
a problem and if we go into my battery
battery health you'll see is at 100
percent i put this on the charger at
night every night and charge it in my
car wirelessly so i don't do anything
special but it seems to last just fine
you'll see my battery life depending on
the day here when i was using previous
versions we'll give it this day i had 2
hours and 39 minutes of screen on time 4
hours and 48 minutes of screen off time
with 50 of my battery life left however
i'm getting through the day with at
least 50 left by the end of the day so
really i've had no issues with it i
haven't had to pay attention to it too
much you'll see depending on the day it
varies greatly so today one hour and
eight minutes three hours and 55 minutes
of screen off time and i've used
maybe only 10 percent of my battery or
so so it's doing quite well that way as
far as performance overall performance
seems to be great whether that be on an
older phone such as the iphone 8 plus or
a newer phone scrolling is fast going
into different games such as minecraft
you'll see here give it a second to load
give it just a moment here there we are
we'll resume and we're in frame rates
look to be good there's no issues here
and it seems like it's running just fine
it actually loaded nice and fast when i
actually loaded this map
and it seems to be performing as you
would expect so most people with these
updates that were running the betas and
the release candidate has said that it
was really performing really well on
older devices as well including the
iphone 6s and se now as far as future
updates it's possible we could see ios
15.5.1 to address those additional known
issues that i mentioned before and then
also we could see later this week ios
15.6 beta 1. typically the week they
release the public updates they'll
release a beta for the next version or
it could be next week that they release
the beta but typically we'll have ios 15
betas all the way up until september
where we'll have ios 16. so that's
normally what apple does and then of
course on june 6th if you haven't heard
already apple's having wwdc 2022 or the
worldwide developer conference and
that's where they show the next version
of ios and ipad os and mac os every
single year so we can expect ios 16 beta
1 starting on june 6th and then again a
final release usually in september
around the time of the iphone 14.
and so that's everything in ios 15.5 not
a huge update but some nice changes and
bug fixes i would expect bigger updates
with ios 16. so expect that hopefully
fairly soon in a couple of weeks we'll
see what that entails and we'll see
everything in ios 16. now if you've
found anything else in ios 15.5 i'd love
to hear from you in the comments below
and if you'd like to get your hands on
this wallpaper i'll link it in the
description like i normally do if you
