Release Date for iOS 15: Probably September

Apple usually unveils new versions of iOS at its annual Global Developer Conference in June. Last few years WWDC started on June 22, and we got our first look at iOS 14, iPadOS 14 and MacOS Big Sur. WWDC 2021 is also likely to be a virtual event in June, though Apple has not yet announced its plans. After the new iOS is announced, it will be available to developers for testing and usually later in the summer as a public beta.

The final version of iOS 15 will probably be released in September with iPhone 13. Although last year the iPhone 12‘s release was delayed until October due to the pandemic, we have yet to see iOS 14 was released in September. So it’s pretty good that iOS 15 will follow the same schedule.

Device compatibility: iOS 15 is likely to work on iPhone 7 and later

The only rumor we heard device compatibility so far iOS 15 is a iPhone 7 or later, according to the Israeli website The Verifier and the French website iPhoneSoft. This is not a big surprise, as the iPhone 6 models are now more than five years old and are used on the A9 disc. It turns out that iOS 15 requires devices with an A10 chip, which includes the iPhone 7 and beyond, and the seventh generation iPod Touch.

New iOS 15 features: Change default apps, make widgets interactive

We would not have a good idea of ​​what features iOS 15 will offer before it is introduced at WWDC 2021. Since iOS 14 was a major update, it is possible that iOS 15 will make fewer changes and instead build on the iOS 14 base. compile and improve its functionality.

According to technology website PhoneArena, iOS 15 could allow you to change more standard apps. In iOS 14, you could swap standard Safari and Mail with other browser and email apps. With the upcoming iOS 14.5 update, you can also change your default Apple Music music platform. With iOS 15, you can make more such adjustments.

PhoneArena also predicts that iOS 15 will make widgets interactive, as they are on Android, allowing you to do things like change volume or turn things on and off. We may also see more widget size options, the website reports.

Download instructions for iOS 15: Same as always

If you’re part of Apple’s developer app, you’ll probably be able to download the iOS 15 developer beta after the new operating system was announced in June to test your apps. The operating system can probably be downloaded as a public beta later this summer (it was in early July for iOS 14), so you can download it if you like, but be warned: Betas are usually buggy, and we do not recommend downloading them to your primary device.

Once iOS 15 is widely available, which we expect to be in September, Apple will likely send a notification to let you know that you can update. Or you can do it manually by going to the Settings app > General > Software update.
