Hi everyone, Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released iOS 15.0.2
to the public. This is available to everyone at the same time,
all around the world and is available on all iOS 15 supported devices.
So if you have an iPhone six S success plus S E iPhone seven,
all the way up to the iPhone,
13 pro and 13 Pro Max you'll have the update available. Now,
apple also released this alongside iPadOS 15.0.2.
So if you have a supported device such as an iPad air two,
that I have here all the way up to the latest iPad pro or iPad mini you'll
have a supportive device and can install that. Now.
Also they released watch iOS 8.0.1 to go along with this.
And if you're not seeing the update,
you can easily check for the update by going to settings,
then go to general than software update, and you'll see the update. Now,
if you're not seeing the update,
turn off automatic updates and then check again and you should see the update.
However, if you're on iOS 15.1 betas,
you won't see the update as you'll actually have a newer version on beta and you
won't have this update available.
And so you may have already seen the size of this, where it was 531.4 megabytes.
That's on the iPhone 12 pro max and on the iPhone 13 pro max,
it was similarly sized at 589.4 megabytes.
So it's a 500 to 600 megabyte update depending on which device you have.
And let's go ahead and take a look at the build number
and then we'll talk about what's new.
So we'll go to settings and then we'll go to general than about,
and you can see the build number is 19 a 4 0 4.
And this particular build brings a bunch of bug fixes and updates to the latest
I-phones and older I-phones as well. Now, currently there is no modem update.
So if you're coming from iOS 15.0.1 to 15.0.2,
you won't have a modem update.
So don't expect any differences between connectivity,
whether that be cellular 5g or LTE.
There's really not going to be any differences there,
at least based off the modem update,
but there are a bunch of bug fixes in this update.
And the first thing has to do with messages.
So if you go into messages and I'll go into one,
I sent to myself and maybe you have some photos that you saved to your photo
library. Maybe you want to save this one, we'll save it.
And in your photo library would be there until maybe you deleted the message
conversation or the conversation within messages.
It would delete that from your photo library. Apple has now fixed that.
So if we go back to our messages under messages,
if I slide and delete this conversation prior to this,
there's a bug that could delete all of your photos within those messages,
from your photo library that has since been fixed. Now,
apple also fixed an issue with the new mag safe leather wallet with find mine.
So if you have this wallet and you have it attached to your phone,
and then maybe you leave it behind, it should notify you.
If you leave it behind, sometimes it wouldn't connect to find my properly.
You'll see. Now it's popping up telling me to add this.
I had a bug where it wouldn't show up and then I couldn't add it to find mine.
So that was a problem before. So what you do is you just hit continue,
and then add it to find my, prior to this,
it just wouldn't show up properly on my devices.
Now it's working properly and you can use, find my to locate it. Also,
there was another issue in find my, if you're using air tags.
So if you have an air tag and you're trying to locate and find my,
so we'll go into find by within find my,
sometimes it just wouldn't show up properly in your items tab.
So if you're using find my and air tags,
now they should show properly and you'll be able to play a sound or find it
nearby or anything like that. Before this,
you may have had an issue doing that from any of your devices. Now,
something else they've resolved in this update.
I think a lot of people will be very happy about if you use apple CarPlay prior to this
you could have issues where CarPlay may fail to open audio apps or disconnect
during playback. So whether you're playing music,
whether you're in a music app or something else, and it was playing back.
I heard a lot of reports where it would just stop and not properly work.
So if you're playing any music, it would just stop automatically.
And it didn't really seem to matter the vehicle that you're using CarPlay with.
It was a problem across all devices. I heard this over and over,
and this has been resolved and hopefully the major bugs with CarPlay are fixed.
It will take a little time to know if it's fixed for everyone,
but they should be resolved with this update.
And it's been problematic since the original release of iOS 15. Now,
along with this, if you're restoring your device,
when you're using finder or iTunes.
So if you're on a Mac you'll use finder and it will look like this,
and if you're restoring an iPhone,
you could have an issue before with the iPhone 13 models.
So maybe you're restoring an iPhone 13, 13 mini iPhone,
13 pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max there could be a message that it failed when you
were trying to update it or restore it. That has been resolved in this update.
Now on the iPad, you have similar issues that have been resolved.
There's not much difference there at all,
but the one thing they did resolve specifically, again,
has to do with finder or iTunes on the iPad mini sixth generation,
when you're trying to restore or update your device. So prior to that,
you could have a failure message where it should work properly.
Now why it's only on the newest devices.
It's hard to say there is not an update on the Mac side to resolve that.
So if you're restoring your iPhone 13,
or basically anything that apple just released that should now be resolved
properly. Now,
there was also a touch bug on the iPhone thirteens that has been resolved and
the problems seem to stick around for YouTube.
The YouTube app was updated just this past day or so,
and it resolves that touch bug as well. So now all of the touches,
you seem to be resolved on iPhone, whether that be opening an app,
simply opening home or something else.
And if you're going into maybe a weather or another application,
sometimes you would just touch and it wouldn't do anything that was resolved
earlier on, but it still remained in YouTube.
And it seems to be resolved due to that YouTube updates.
So check for updates in your app store. If you're having that problem.
One thing I noticed right away once this updated is that my widgets loaded right
away as well.
Some people were having issues where the widgets would not show properly while
that was supposed to be fixed. And I was 15.0.1.
It seems to definitely be fixed now, right? When I booted up the iPhone seven,
it was blank. And then it immediately filled in the same is true with the iPad.
So it looks like they've fixed the widget refresh issue. Now,
as far as how often it refreshes, it's hard to say,
but it does look like they fixed that.
Now there's a power sleep wake issue where some people were seeing delays when
turning on their phone. And that seems to be resolved in this update as well.
Although they don't say that it's fixed specifically,
I've had some people tell me already, if you power it on your phone,
sometimes there was a delay. It seems to be nice and fast with this update.
Now apple did resolve one storage issue that was there with iOS 15 in iOS,
15.0.1, where there was a message that you had no available storage left.
However, there's still a storage bug that seems to exist,
that people are still experiencing.
I asked on Twitter whether or not people were still having this.
And some people have excessive storage being taken up and others show that maybe
you have a 256 gigabyte iPhone. And it says 300 gigabytes is available.
It's showing odd storage messages here and there.
And some people can't see this at all where it just won't load.
So it really depends on the phone.
I've seen multiple people say they have no issues and others say that they still
do, but it's not resolved in iOS 15.0.2. Now,
along with the resolved issues and updates,
apple has also patched some security updates.
So as you can see on the security website, I'll link it in the description,
but you can see it says iOS 15.0.2 and iPad iOS 15.0.2.
If we go into this, you'll see what was actually patched.
And it says I own mobile frame buffer.
And the impact was an application may be able to execute arbitrary code with
Colonel privileges.
Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited to
fix it.
Or the description a memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory
handling. Now, this may not be the only security update in here.
It's just the only one they mentioned.
So that's been patched in this update now,
as far as the overall battery life of this update,
well it always takes a few days to know for sure,
but I would not expect any major differences compared with the prior update.
And so I've been running iOS 15.0.1 and iOS
15.1 betas on this iPhone 13 pro.
And you'll see when I ran it early on,
I had three hours and 14 minutes of screen on time at 50 minutes of screen off
time with about 50% of my battery used.
So if I was to use this to 100% of my battery,
I could expect the normal seven to eight hours of screen on time with pretty
decent screen off time as well. It just varies day to day, but in general,
the update seems to be pretty stable for most.
And I did a up about that where many people said it was much better.
A few people did have some issues though. Now, as far as overall performance,
it does seem to be performing quite well.
I noticed it was quite smooth on all of the devices here and on the iPhone
seven,
it was nice and fast right away after it was done processing in the background.
And so if we go into things like music,
you'll see that we can scroll pretty smoothly here. It is a little choppy,
but that's pretty typical of this device.
And the nice thing is it did not seem to be warm at all after booting up
and initially installing the update. The back of the phone was warm,
but not hot. Like it was with 15.0.1.
So there's definitely an improvement there. At least on the iPhone seven,
all of the phones were fairly cool to touch,
which was an improvement over the previous update.
So there was definitely a difference there,
and that's a great improvement and hopefully it's better for you as well.
And so that leads me to, should you install iOS 15.0.2?
And I would say absolutely just for the security updates alone. Of course,
if you're already on 15.1 betas, you won't be able to install this,
but you would have to use a computer to downgrade to it.
But if you wanted to try a beta, I would probably hold off.
I would wait until 15.1 either release candidate or the final version.
But if you want to try 15.0.2,
I would highly recommend it as it has that security update.
And of course those other built bug fixes as well. Now,
as far as the release of iOS 15.1, well,
I would expect a beta or release candidate as soon as tomorrow or Wednesday last
week we had beta three.
So I would expect beta four or release candidate very soon with a final release
within the next few weeks,
it's expected that apple is going to have an October apple event to show off new Macs.
And so maybe we'll see it sometime around then when they new macro last Monterey
release, since we haven't seen that yet. So within the next couple of weeks,
I would expect iOS 15.1 with some new features and bug fixes as well.
And so as far as everything else in iOS 15.0.2, that's everything.
And of course, if you've found anything else or noticed anything different,
I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

of course I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
