hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 15.6 to the public
this is available to all ios 15 supported devices and is available for the iphone 6s 6s plus
all the way up to the iphone 13 pro and 13 pro max and it's available around the world at the exact
same time for everyone now this particular update was not very big at all it was 554.9 megabytes on
my iphone 13 pro and as long as you're coming from a public version it should be a fairly
small install overall if you're coming from a beta it could be very large however if you're
coming from ios 15 betas you won't see this as this is the same version as rc2 also if you're on
ios 16 betas you won't see it as you're on a newer version now if you want to install it and you're
not seeing it just go to your settings go down to general then go to software update and you should
see the update if you're still not seeing it turn off automatic updates then go back and check for
an update and you should see it there now along with this update apple also released ipad os 15.6
watch os 8.7 tv os 15.6 mac os 12.5 and homepod os 15.6 all of those are available now now let's
go ahead and take a look at the build number and talk about what's new so we'll go to settings then
we'll go to general then about as you can see the build number is 19 g71 and this particular update
like i said is the same thing that we had with rc2 or the release candidate 2. in this particular
update it does not have a modem update if you're coming from the betas but if you're coming from
ios 15.5 you'll have a modem update that will help overall with connectivity cellular connectivity
switching between 4g and 5g typically those sort of updates fix some small issues there overall
it's been pretty good for those that have been on it for any amount of time now as far as new
features let's talk about those and the first one has to do with safari now if you're using safari
and maybe you want to clear your history you want to get rid of what's there go into your settings
go down to safari scroll to the bottom and tap on clear history and website data once you tap
clear history and data you'll now have the option to close tabs or keep tabs open so this is a new
option that appears when you're clearing your history that wasn't there before so it's a nice
little way not to close everything if you wanted to still go back into it now if you're setting up
your iphone for the first time ios 15.6 includes new information about communication safety for a
child there's also a new option here if we go into settings then we scroll down to screen time if we
select a child if we have a family set up with a child in screen time you'll see we get a new
option that says improve communication safety help apple improve sensitive photo detection by sending
diagnostic and usage data this is something new you can learn more about it and then if you go
down to communication safety this is off and if you want to turn it on you can by default
and you'll see we have a new option here for improved communication safety it says help apple
improve communication safety by sharing analytics and usage data analytics and data are aggregated
in a form that is not personally identifiable no messages messages or media are shared with apple
you can turn this on or leave it off it's up to you but that's something that's new in 15.6 now if
we go into settings scroll down to accessibility go to voiceover and then braille if you're someone
that uses a braille device there should be some new options there for panning keys thumb keys
c2 c3 options and more this is only available if you have a braille input device and unfortunately
i don't have one connected so i can show you this but if you do use one you should see those
options available now also if we go into the home app under the home app if someone tries to
invite you or share a home with you and you don't recognize them you can now report that invite as
junk you can ignore it or cancel it where you couldn't before so that's something that's new
in this update although you would need an invite from someone you don't know in order to do that
also if someone is calling you internationally it will show that and show it's available for
handoff and then also give you an option to report that as junk as well so if someone's calling you
you don't recognize there's more junk options available for that if we go into the tv app and
we go down to sports if there's a live sports game that's already in progress with ios 15.6
you'll be able to restart that live sports game pause it or rewind it or fast forward it
just like you could with a dvr so this is something they've added that's really nice and as
they add more sports possibly nfl games later on soccer and more we should see those options become
more and more useful since what will be like having a dvr built right into apple tv plus so
it's great that they've added that now now they've fixed some issues in this update as well and if
we go into settings and then to accessibility where i mentioned before there's some updates to
braille they've also fixed an issue for braille so braille users that were having issues with maybe
braille input devices slowing down when maybe you're navigating text and mail
that has been resolved in this update they've also fixed an issue with storage so if we go
into our iphone storage go to general then we go down to iphone storage storage was an issue for
many where it would show the device was full even though it wasn't this has been resolved in 15.6 so
iphone storage loads nice and fast you'll see down here system data and i've mentioned system data in
the past many times system data is more of a cache where it can kind of expand in size and contract
as needed based on the overall usage of different apps however sometimes that would take up data
now it will show that's available so here you'll see i'm only using 37.1 gigabytes
i have a bunch available even if i have a bunch available it won't show that it's using more
so that's something they fixed in this update they've also fixed an issue in safari where the
tab may revert back to a previous page so maybe you were on google.com you went to apple.com and
it jumped back to google.com that should be resolved in this update they've also resolved
an issue on the ipad mini 6th generation where it may not detect a charger or a usbc accessory
so that has been resolved it will now charge properly this is actually the ipad air but if
you have an ipad mini where it wasn't charging that should be resolved i have an ipad mini
and it wasn't a problem but for some people it was and you weren't able to charge your device
with this update you will be able to so that's something that they've resolved in this update
hopefully you can update to it you'll need more than a 50 charge to do that though let me know if
you were having that problem in the comments below now additionally apple's fixed an issue that was
mentioned some time ago where if you have a third party music app in your dock and maybe you go to
reinstall the apple music app it would actually replace what's in the dock and rearrange the order
that's been resolved in 15.6 so if we go into the app store and re-download apple music we'll just
tap on download here give it a moment you'll see it's starting to download it's not replacing the
app and should be installed if we go to our app library and there it is so it's not replacing
anything when you install it again that's something they've resolved in this update but they
didn't mention publicly there's also additional code changes as far as apple pay cash goes thanks
to my friend steve mosher for pointing some of this out before but within the wallet app there's
some code changes as far as apple pay cash as far as wording changes not anything major there apple
also updated security with ios 15.6 and we can see what they updated by going to apple's security
support page and you'll see apple security updates will scroll down and you can see all
of the updates they released today if we go to ios 15.6 and ipad os 15.6 you can see the different
updates they have there's quite a few of them here as well so we can scroll all the way down
you'll see there's a ton of different updates and you can read these by going in and seeing software
update it says what it's available for and then impact is a user in a privileged network position
can track a user's activity the fix or description is this issue was addressed by using https when
sending information over the network so there's tons of these and a lot of important security
updates as well so a lot of different things from wi-fi to webkit and more so this would be a good
reason to install this audio and much much more as far as additional resolved issues or known issues
well there is one known issue that remains and it has to do with the home ave and matter accessories
matter accessories are being pushed pretty big in ios 16 and maybe this will be resolved with that
but for now apple says it's a known issue where the ios device that initiates pairing it needs to
be logged into the same icloud account as the home hub only the owner of a home not an invited user
can pair matter accessories so that's something that's still a known bug in this update now as far
as the phone getting too hot or overheating it's staying nice and cool and in the summer where it's
hotter around the world it seems to be staying cooler of course if you have it in a case that
keeps it hotter that could be a problem so you may want to remove that if it's quite hot but in
general 15.6 seems to keep the phone nice and cool if you're playing a game of course that's going to
be more intensive and it will get a little bit warm or it will get warm when charging but there
are sensors inside the iphone to help keep that cool so it definitely seems to be better as far
as that goes and many people have reported that as well with previous betas as far as ios 15 updates
i think we'll have one more with ios 15.7 betas possibly this week typically apple will release
one more where we'll have something like ios 13.7 we had 14.8 so we could have a 15.7 possibly a
15.8 but i think 15.7 with beta is going until probably mid august with a final release at the
end of august that's typically what we see with the last version until the next version comes out
as far as ios 16 public beta 2 and ios 16 beta 4 you can expect those probably sometime
next week based on what we had last year with ios 15 public betas they waited about 14 days
until the final one came out so it was about june 30th where the public beta released for ios 15
and then the next one released on july 14th so we could see a similar sort of release schedule where
we could be another week out or so until we see that but either way we can expect further betas
until september where we have a final release usually in mid-september along the new iphone
so iphone 14 iphone 14 plus a larger size of the iphone 14 iphone 14 pro and 14 pro max that's what
we're expecting this time around now that leads me to should you install ios 15.6 and of course
at this point i would definitely recommend it if you're on ios 15.5 it brings stability
it seems to be much better based on many of the comments there's always going to be exceptions
where it could be a little bit worse for some but most people are reporting this is the best version
of ios 15 and it should be we've almost been using it for a year at this point so it's more stable
has more security updates and more so i would definitely install that of course if you're on ios
16 betas you won't have this you'll have to use a computer to revert back like i mentioned before
as far as overall battery life most people are reporting battery life is quite good
someone sent me their battery usage so i could share that as i've been using ios 16 myself
and thanks to cameron for sending these in and you'll see a few days ago he sent this
in he used about 30 percent of his battery and had four hours and 48 minutes of screen on time
4 hours and 39 minutes of screen off time on an iphone 13 pro max the day before that again great
battery life 5 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time and just over 50 percent of his battery life
so he's easily getting through a day and said it's quite good so most people are reporting it to be
very very good and the best version of ios 15 yet i know i've said that before and throughout
all the betas it's actually been quite good so that's a good sign most people will see a
similar result now as far as overall performance performance seems to be quite good and this is the
oldest device we have here with the iphone 10 at least in this video if we go into music music was
just loaded as you saw a little bit earlier we'll give it a moment to load and it was nice and fast
scrolling seems to be smooth maybe an occasional hiccup here and there but that's typical on a
little bit older devices pro motion seems to be fine and going into different games seems to be
fine as well as far as frame rates and everything else so we'll go into minecraft here now in future
videos we'll switch the game up but just to be consistent with the ios 15.6 updates i want to
share this you'll see we got back into it nice and fast and i have seen it hiccup a little bit
on older devices getting back into this game for some reason specifically the iphone 10
but really haven't seen much of an issue with anything everything seems to be nice
and smooth frame rates are smooth and more so that's a great sign with this update
so that's everything with ios 15.6 of course most of the changes and features will be in ios 16.
now there should be one more update or so with ios 15.7 so i would expect the betas fairly soon
and usually there's a release later in august and that's usually the last release before ios
16 will release if they do what they've done every year that's what we can expect but of course they
could always change this up now if you found anything else in ios 15.6 i'd love to hear from
