Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and earlier this week apple announced wwdc 2021 or
the worldwide developer conference apple has this every year where they talk about the next version
of ios help developers figure out what they need to do to change their apps to comply with that
next version and they show us the new features and more of the upcoming ios version ipad os mac os
watch os and tv os and maybe even something more now i covered that earlier this week
but ever since then many people have been asking me when can we expect ios 15 beta 1
when will the public version be out so i wanted to go over that cover what devices are expected to
be supported with ios 15 as well as some features that we're hearing even more about now that we're
getting closer to wwdc now before i talk about that apple today announced that they have 180
plus games in apple arcade they've updated it with different titles and they've added a bunch of them
so apple arcade has been out for a while now they even added nba2k21 so arcade edition so they've
added a lot of different titles some old some new and so they've updated that which is always
nice to see if you use apple arcade either on your iphone ipad or apple tv or mac now as i mentioned
earlier this week wwdc 2021 was announced by apple for june 7th to the 11th this is when
they hold their developer conference they'll show off the new versions help developers figure out
what's in these upcoming versions and how they can change their app or use different features that
they're announcing and so on that they normally have a conference on the first day or a keynote
and on that day we should see what's in ios 15 and we can have the beta usually after that event
so on that day if we go to june 7th you can expect on june 7th you'll see wwdc
and the keynote is usually around 1 p.m eastern time or 10 a.m pacific time that usually takes
place at 1 pm virtually we'll be able to watch it online live together and it'll be usually between
1 and 3 p.m sometimes a little bit longer than that it usually tends to be one of the longer
keynotes where they talk about all sorts of features and sometimes even hardware as well
after that is when they release the beta version to developers normally around 3 30 to 4 pm eastern
time that version will come out you'll be able to install it and then we'll be able to try it
for ourselves the public beta doesn't generally come out for another couple weeks normally until
beta 2 or beta 3 where it's stable enough for the public to try it on normal phones
so that's generally how apple does it every single year so you can expect beta 1 if your developer
right after the event right after the conference and then you'll be able to try it yourself it's
generally very buggy when you do try it and most of the time in the past i've had to revert back
on my main phone because it's too buggy to use but you'll at least be able to try it out if you have
a secondary device for example so we should expect that now there has not been official word on
what to expect as far as supported devices but there seems to be consistency across
different people that leak things regularly and they're saying that unfortunately the iphone 6s
the iphone 6s plus iphone se the original one will no longer have support for ios 15.
now this is not confirmed until apple actually confirms it in the event and tells us what's
supported and what's not that's the same may be true for the ipad air 2 for example and some of
the older ipad devices now we'll have to wait and see if that's true or not whether that has to do
with the chipset that's inside of them or the ram but most people expect iphone 7 like i have here
in jet black iphone 7 all the way up to the iphone 12 pro max for example to continue to have support
6s 6s plus and se are expected not to so again we'll have to wait and see because we don't know
that for sure also as far as apple watch or watch os 8 many people have been asking me what will be
supported will the series 3 apple watch still be supported and i would say that it most likely will
be because they're still selling it generally apple will not sell something they're not going
to support for more than a year and they're still selling series 3 se and series 6 apple watch so
i would expect that as well and of course mac os support will probably be about the same but again
we have to wait and see right now it's speculation it seems like that's going to be the case for
those people that seem to know but we'll have to wait and see now as far as the expected features
well there's been more news about that recently as recent as today some people have said that
ios 15 source code hints at more accessibility features so what that could be whether that be
additions to voice over just improvements in general or new features is we'll have to wait
and see but they did add a lot of things over the past years and continue to focus on this
whether that be being able to interact with your device without touching it or different things
such as hearing devices or everything else apple usually improves this drastically year to year
with many features so i'm really looking forward to that another thing we're hearing recently is
that it will have rcs message support now rcs is a newer standard that's used across android so
instead of mms it's sort of a real-time messaging where you get that with imessage where you can see
when someone's messaging you back for example rcs is just a newer version of that for people that
don't have imessage so we should see some sort of support from that according to some people
also if you're using the clipboard maybe you're copying a date you're just hitting copy there's
there's said to be a history for this coming to ios where we could go back and look at the actual
clipboard history now some apps have done certain things like this on the mac for quite some time
and to have that on the iphone would be really nice to have a history of what your clipboard is
having it secure on your device what you're copying and pasting so you could go back and
grab that if you accidentally copied over it for example so that's something that's said to be in
the newer versions also many people are continuing to say that we're going to see split view brought
to iphone this is something that's been on ipad for a while and i would welcome it and of
course many people if you know what it is split view if you just go into the arcade for example
wait for that to load we can bring in another app so we could bring in music alongside it and this
would be great on the iphone to have split view so you could message on one side or on the top
or bottom and then maybe use music or something else at the same time maybe youtube or something
along those lines it would be great to have that feature also some people are saying we're going
to see redesigned icons i think this is highly likely since they redesigned them for mac os
and bringing that consistency across to say ipad and iphone and apple watch seems to make a lot of
sense it's not guaranteed but they did add more depth with mac os big ser and if they've refined
those with the next version of mac os it would be nice to have consistency across all devices
some apps are different some are the same like the photos app is identical some are different
like messages for example on mac os big sur it looks a little bit different i actually
like the depth on many icons it took a little bit of time to get used to but so far i think
i like them after it's been a while now others are saying to expect a new control center i've talked
about this before i actually really like the older control centers where you slide up from the bottom
or even from the top and it's only half of the the iphone i prefer that sort of control center
this one may have more function but it just seems out of place in my opinion but that's just me
and i did get used to it but i do prefer the older ones but i know some people really like this one
and think it's perfect as well either way i do expect apple to refine this a little bit
also many people are saying to expect redesigned apps we've seen this a little bit with music
with ios 14.5 betas for example we've seen a lot of that where it's changed quite a bit
i would expect further refinement and changes to those apps and then an always-on display for
iphone 13. i've talked about this a little bit in the past always-on displays are nice in that they
don't have really much battery usage but they actually kind of give you more information when
your screen's off it maybe just would show the time for example and some of your notifications
instead of having to go into your phone unlock it and see those i actually like always on displays
on android phones quite a bit and i expect them to come to the iphone as well now other than
the control center i do expect some changes or refinements to notification as well but right now
we're not sure and apple recently has been working on battery quite a bit with ios 14.5 and some of
the recalibration tools with iphone 11 for example so maybe we'll see more of that with ios 15.
i would welcome that and some changes to how it's shown and also maybe a better understanding of how
it's reading out your last charge verse how much your average screen on time is i wish it would
calculate it based off of say the last time you plugged it in as opposed to just 24 hours whether
you plugged it in or not i think that could use some refinement or fixing now some are saying that
you'll be able to move icons wherever you want and that there will be additional upgrades or changes
to using shortcuts to customize icons that's kind of up in the air at this point that wouldn't
surprise me if they do that but at this time we don't really know the last rumor i'm hearing
is that we're going to have apple pencil support i i highly doubt this at this point yes we have it
for ipad but i doubt it for iphone it's something that's kind of fundamentally against what steve
jobs wanted whether or not we see it of course it's up to who's ever in charge of apple now
but we may or may not see that i know a lot of people would welcome it i personally think the
iphone's too small for me to be drawing on it but those if you had maybe a smaller sort
of apple pencil that could be welcome to a lot of people so let me know what you think about
that in the comments below as far as ipad os 15 i wouldn't expect too many changes unless
they have some big plans that we haven't heard of yet but as far as widgets and being able to move
those around if you have a bunch of widgets on the left for example and you want to put them wherever
that's something some people are saying but there really has not been much information about
when or what's going to be in ipad os 15 yet so we'll have to wait and see with that
now as far as when to expect ios 15 releasing to the public well that's usually at the end of
september generally apple will announce an event in september and at the same time they'll announce
the next iphone so iphone 13 mini iphone 13 13 pro and 13 pro max or they could call it 12s this year
but those phones will be announced and then right before they come out normally they release the
update to the public so generally late september is when you can expect ios 15 coming out to the
public for everyone to use it this is all subject to change apple could change it at any minute they
did change it from june one year for example to september and we've had september ever since so at
this point it seems like september is likely for a public release june 7th for ios 15 beta 1 and then
we'll have up to seven betas at that point now let me know if you'd like anything else that i haven't
mentioned for ios 15 that you would love to see i'd love to hear your ideas in the comments below
