Anyone having battery issues with iPhone 13 mini on 15.0.1? My wife's brand new phone is quickly to 50% by midday and she hasn't even used it because she is working. I'm hoping it has something to do with the restore indexing or something like that.

not a lot of info.
what apps are running and allowed to run in background?
maps?
VoIP apps?
Are apps closed?

try wiping and setting up iPhone from scratch. Ensure passwords are synced to iCloud but other than that something is a foot

At this rate, it's probably advisable to just wait for a x.2 release.
Also, unless the previous version has severely critical security vulnerability, Apple should be allowing downgrades if they cannot even put out decent quality on every releases.

I don't expect a completely bug-free software, but come on. Apple is the one bragging how they have complete control of hardware and software, so why the seemingly sloppy releases.
I’m curious in your opinion I was just actually a sloppy release? They’re actually fixing bugs with this release so what does that make that sloppy?
 
15.0.1 and 15.0.2 both have failed to verify the update on my iPad Pro gen 2.
This has never happened before, every previous update has always installed without issues until now.
Yep, I’ve been unable to update my 10.5 inch iPad Pro to 15.0.1 and now 15.0.2 too. I’ve never known something like this to happen with an Apple product before, they’re getting really sloppy with software updates.

Download the ipsw file from apple (or ipsw.me) and update using your computer. I upgraded 10.5 iPad Pro without any issue to 15.0.2 using the ipsw file.
 
At any one time there will be hundreds of thousands of users concurrently hammering Apple servers, requesting map data. Frankly, I’m impressed that the service is as quick and reliable as it is, given the amount of number crunching that it requires.

it‘s always been responsive for me, apart from a blip a few months ago, where it mysteriously ground to a crawl for a few hours. Almost certainly a temporary server-side issue. I can think of numerous reasons why an individual might be impacted for a time, but I doubt it’s anything to do with the OS.
Understand your perspective, but this is beyond “Apple’s servers getting hammered.” I think (not her using her phone every day) that it actually started with iOS 15. Worked fine. Updated. Hasn’t worked since. OS-related.
 
Wonder if anything has actually been fixed this time, App Store update page hanging, safari slowdowns, storage bug, mail badge bug, Face ID lag on iPhone 13 Pro Max, restarting your device causing battery percentage not to move and so on. 🤦‍♂️😡

Feels like I'm using android. 🤦‍♂️
Nope definitely seems like you are using iOS. None of these issues on my android devices. ;)
 
Siri voice Dutch(Belgium) has disappeared since update to iPhone 13 pro.

Language and region are set to Dutch(Belgium) and Belgium respectively. And in "accessibility", under the "voices" item, the voice "Dutch(Belgium)" (the voice is named "Ellen") is still selected.
When you have a text read out it is still with the voice "Dutch (Belgium)" as it should be.

But you can not select the correct voice for Siri anymore. Only the ones for Dutch(The Netherlands) are shown as options. Very annoying for navigation.

Damn some of you are whiny. You expect everything to be 100% perfect with every release. These machines don’t run a small simple os. They are large complex os’s. Things are going to get missed. Plus we are in a pandemic where people have a lot of other personal things going on. And honestly looking at the bugs people are screaming about really seem kinda minor and effects very few people. I have almost zero issues with 15 at all. I think some need to chill out. Statements like do they even test these? Yeah they do. But nothing is freaking perfect. Now if they bricked 20,000 phones I could understand the outcry. But dang man cut them some slack.

But, does it fix problems with device restores or updates for the iPhone 7 Plus? Spent 3 days recovering from … good thing I had a backup before the one the upgrade does… that backup was bad and then couldn’t be found after I restarted iTunes. Used a 3rd party app to recover ….
Aren't you backing up the phone anyway?
 
Updated IXS/AWSE to current version, however they don't communicate via SIRI , example - cant get battery charge level of watch from Iphone Siri and vice versa...anyone else have this problem ?
 
According to this researcher (from Microsoft MSRC) the zero-day works on iOS versions at least back to 14.7.1, probably further:

I assume (hope) that Apple will release a patch for iOS 14 soon.
Myself, I assume that Apple has forgot what they said, or hope people forgot what they said.

Thanks for the link. Interesting reading.

I'm having a similar issue with my 9.7" ipad pro - tried resets, update via itunes on PC etc. with no sucess on 15.0.1. I was hoping 15.0.2 would resolve it - but no. Still can't upgrade.

Are there anyone still installing updates by plugging the iPhone to the Mac? Is there any reason to do this instead of updating via wifi?
I *always* update from the Mac. I back up regularly, of course, but I'm always going to make sure I have a current backup before installing an OS update, and the phone is already connected to the computer after having made the backup.
 
Is that a problem with emails only? Not a problem with text messages? My wife uses Siri to dictate text messages all the time, and has held off upgrading from 14.8 because of the Siri issue.
Yay. 15.0.2 fixed the dictating and sending email thing. Small victories I guess?
 
0.2 fixed various HomePod issues for me. Congrats to the 0.2 team. Nevertheless Music sync for a new play track with my older Bluetooth CarPlay (Volkswagen) now always takes 8 seconds instead of milliseconds before. :(

I ended up plugging it into my Mac and updating via recovery. Hopefully future updates won’t have this issue.
 
Siri has never been great, that's for sure, but I do use it. So going backward … ugh. Thankfully 15.0.2 fixed this issue for me.
I disabled Siri on the phone ages ago. No point to it, old school Voice Control works, Siri doesn't. Never bothered with it on the desktop or the laptop.

About a year ago I enable the "Hey Siri" function and find it quite handy for certain things, esp while driving … texting, email, using Apple Carplay etc.
 
What was wrong with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)?
I was working at Apple when it released. Software incompatibilities, printer drivers, etc. It all got fixed eventually (ultimately with 10.6 Snow Leopard). But the AS I worked at was not a happy place for a few weeks...especially since people dropped $129 for it in those days.
