Title: iOS 15.3 might be all bug fixes and security updates Post by: HCK on December 22, 2021, 04:05:10 pm iOS 15.3 might be all bug fixes and security updates
<div id="link_wrapped_content"> <body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p>After a strange false start, Apple has started its beta test of iOS 15.3. The company did not release the iOS 15.3 beta on December 17, but <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/17/ios-15-3-beta-leaks-minor-changes-busy-spring/&xcust=1-1-560895-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">eagle-eyed observers[/url] found that the developer’s site page for the download simply had the whole iOS 15.3 section commented out of the HTML.</p> <p>Some hours later, the beta version was officially released to developers with no explanation as to why the download was delayed. For now, there doesn’t appear to be any new features in this release, and <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-15_3-release-notes&xcust=1-1-560895-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">Apple’s support page[/url] lists “no new release notes.” We’ll update this article as future beta builds are released or features are discovered.</p> <p><strong>Update 12/20/21:</strong> After releasing the developer beta late on Friday, Apple has released the first build to Public Beta testers on Monday.</p> <h2 class="toc" id="whats-new-in-ios-15-3">What’s new in iOS 15.3</h2> <p>We’re not aware of any new features in the first build of iOS 15.3, but it’s not uncommon for some beta builds to incorporate bug fixes or support for hidden, unannounced features or services that crop up later. Future builds may reveal other changes, including two features that Apple delayed: digital ID cards (https://www.macworld.com/article/554630/ios-15-id-cards-wallet-delayed-2022.html) and Universal Control (https://www.macworld.com/article/559260/universal-control-macos-monterey-ipados-15-delayed-spring-2022.html) in iPadOS.</p> <h2 class="toc" id="how-to-get-the-ios-15-3-beta">How to get the iOS 15.3 beta</h2> <p>If you’re interested in beta-testing iOS 15.3 (or iPadOS 15.3), you should do so on a device that is not your primary everyday iPhone or iPad.</p> <p>Registered developers can go to <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://developer.apple.com/download/&xcust=1-1-560895-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">developer.apple.com/download[/url] using the device upon which they wish to run the beta.
