Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and every year we get a new ios update
if everything continues like it has for the past many years we should see ios 15 this year
and so apple started with iphone os then eventually ios and we're all the way to ios 15
which is incredible and there's been some huge changes and not some big changes along the way
and so i want to talk about when to expect it to be released also supported devices and some recent
leaked information about what to expect with ios 15. now the first thing is the supported
devices now of course we're going to expect the latest phones like this iphone 12 pro max
to get this update but some information suggests that only iphone 7 and newer will get ios 15.
now that would mean that iphone 6s plus iphone 6s and iphone se will no longer be supported
which would be kind of interesting given that i think they could probably handle the update unless
there's something significant in it that it could no longer support the processors in these devices
but we'll have to wait and see as apple has not confirmed this this has been leaked information
and it could change at the last minute these devices have been supported a very long time five
to six years at this point and so with the se and the 6s plus for example it's possible we could see
extended support but at this point i don't think we will and this would be the last version of
the iphone with a headphone jack and it would no longer be supported if this information is correct
so you would have to have an iphone 7 like this or newer and at some point of course year over year
they drop support for older devices we didn't see that with ios 14 surprisingly and that extends to
the ipads as well so an ipad air 2 ipad mini 4 and ipad 5th generation would no longer be supported
so if you have an ipad mini 2 it may no longer be supported with ios 15. of course we'll have
to wait and see but that would mean we would see some graphical improvements that these devices
just could no longer handle efficiently so hopefully we'll see extended support
but until we know the release date we won't know for sure from apple and what that means is every
year around june we have the worldwide developer conference or wwdc and so if we go to the calendar
in the calendar every year usually the second week of june
apple holds wwdc now it got pushed back a little bit last year with 2020 being the way it was
we got pushed back a little bit but generally the second to third week of june will have wwdc
and they'll show off the next version of ios mac os ipad os watch os as well as tv os
and maybe even something new and so with ios 15 generally we can expect them to announce that
announce new features with it as well as when to expect the beta which is usually that same
day sometimes the following day we'll have public betas or sometimes we won't have public betas for
the next couple betas maybe a month out so it just depends year over year what they're going to do
but generally we're going to have it the same day so i would say if i had to pick
maybe the 14th of june that we should see a beta release and then we'll have consistent betas
throughout the months all the way until september where they'll announce the next iphone iphone 12s
or iphone 13 with the release date of ios 15. so generally we'll have from june until september to
have betas and then a public release in september that's usually what apple does every single year
so with that release there's a few things we can expect or at least according to ihack 2 pro
and some others out there that have said we could have a couple different things one of them being
interactive widgets interactive widgets would be really nice with ios 14 apple introduced the
widgets and the widgets are nice to have different updated information but they don't update in real
time they update every so often based on how the developer sets it and they also don't have
interactive widgets so maybe you're using music for example and you want to slide the volume
up and down you can't do that and in the future versions hopefully we'll see that and according
to this information we should see that we should also have some different size for widgets other
than what we have now so we have a few different sizes maybe we'll have some in between sizes
so we've got this size we've got this medium size and we even have a huge size with news
so we may see something completely different with that in future updates so ios 15 may bring
big customization to those updates or to those widgets now also it said that we will have an
always on display that will be hardware dependent of say iphone 13. so an always-on display looks
like this this is a pixel 5 for example or it would give us the time the date and maybe our
battery information along with notifications and those notifications would be interactive from the
display like they are now but this sort of shifts this information around so it doesn't cause burn
burn in in the display and hopefully we'll see something like that with iphone and i don't know
that the always-on display really has anything to do with hardware other than saving battery
where apple could ramp the display up and down like they do with the apple watch
where the the hertz would affect that so i would look forward to an always on display according to
that information also there's said to be a new settings page meaning settings could change it
could be more settings maybe for some new features or maybe just a reorganization of it where general
and say some of the features in here make more sense for example something i would really like
to see is you have to scroll down to get your camera settings so you go into camera then you can
change your video recording and they've made some of this available through the camera app
but most of it is available through a separate settings app and i understand this but it would
be great to have a shortcut to this from the app for example and there is information
saying that this will change a little bit so hopefully we'll see something along those lines
also it said that we'll get some refreshed notifications to go along with that lock
screen i talked about so notifications they're pretty nice now where they're kind of separated
into these different things here and we can swipe them off the screen and clear them if we want or
clear all here but some better interactions with these notifications or maybe cater categorization
of these notifications would be welcome and i would like to see them maybe pop in in order
that they come in a little bit better and maybe be more prevalent on the screen something like
that that they could make them a little more interactive i think along with those widgets
now along with that they're said to be app refreshes and that seems to make sense we're
seeing some of that with ios 14 betas for example app refreshes with things like podcasts where
they're changing it up a little bit changing the way the interface looks i would expect more
of this to carry over to more applications we're also seeing it with music for example
so we're seeing some changes with this a lot and i think apple will continue to make some of those
changes carry across and be more consistent with other applications as well such as the app store
i expect this to have a slight redesign as well where they may have some more interaction here
and i look forward to those now one of the other big changes that is expected with ios 15 is a
complete redo of the control center now we've had the one for a while where you swipe down from the
upper right if you have a face id based phone or you swipe up from the bottom if you have a touch
id based phone this is fairly inconsistent and i think this could be a little bit different where
it's more similar and i see why they did that when they had the swipe based or gesture based
interface you needed to change the location of it but i would like to see this modified a little bit
more now i was never a huge fan of this particular control center because it's just a little bit too
cluttered or too too much stuff in my opinion i would like to have it a little bit more organized
and i know i can remove things but i would like to be able to move these around more like widgets
and maybe resize them and hopefully we'll see something that makes this more efficient and
more consistent across all devices including ipads so let me know what you would like to see with the
control center and what you would change in the comments below but we are expected to see some
sort of change with it also i would expect some redesigned icons maybe to match big sur apple
has made big sur available on the mac but nothing else matches it on the iphone there's a little bit
more depth on big sur with say the mail app for example mail is very flat on ios i would like to
see the icons gain some of that depth from big sur i know some people don't like those icons but you
do get used to them and i like them that they pop a little bit so i would like to see something like
that maybe an updated settings icon or things with a new design language that we have with big sur i
would welcome that on both iphone and ipad os and watch os to have consistency across all platforms
that's something i would really look forward to and so that's what's expected with ios 15
what else is expected i'm not sure i would like to see some changes in the battery notifications for
example and what i mean by that it's not improved battery life although i would welcome that
but rather battery health i would like to see changed so that it doesn't necessarily give you
a percentage all the time but rather just tells you when it's good or bad i've talked about this
at length before i would like to see that as this causes a lot of people anxiety and i get questions
about it almost daily also in the battery i would like an option to switch between say
the last 10 days where it gives you a time of what your battery life is like but also where it says
this is your usage time over the past 24 hours because the last 24 hours or since plugged in
rather because what it does now is just shows you 24 hours regardless if you're plugged in or not
you can see these are the charge points here and here and it's showing us that information
and that's not clear as to what our actual battery life is like over that time so from day to day you
may have a couple hours even though you plugged it in or you may not so it's going to vary greatly
i would love to see them change that also i'd like to see them update the iphone 12 pro max
for one-handed use for example when you pull down here you get search i would like to see the option
to maybe switch that so that you could have your notifications pull down when you pull down like
this you have that ability in other platforms like android i would love to see them do that on ios
and i prefer the security of ios and of course i i welcome any additional features as well
also i would love to see widgets be able to be placed wherever you want or icons being placed
wherever you want on the ipad we don't really have the same sort of setup with app library which i
would like to see and i would like the ability to put the widgets anywhere i want on the ipad
and that's really the main thing oh and one big thing i forgot that may be coming is
split view split view on the iphone should be coming where you can put an application here
and here at the same time so just like on the ipad for example where you can go to say let's go to
music and then we can bring in another application let's bring in the app store we can slide that in
and have two applications at the same time maybe we want to watch a music video over here and then
brow browse the app store or safari or anything else i would love to see that on the iphone and
then carry over to everything else so hopefully we'll see some sort of split view as well
and so those are the things that we should see as well as things that i would like to see so all of
those things hopefully will be coming soon maybe some additional features i'm sure apple usually
includes about 100 changes when they release a new update but expect the first one to be shown
in june with early betas then and of course i'll be keeping you up to date as i know more if you'd
like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like i normally do
and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
