Apple Releases iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 With Wallet and Podcast Updates

Can someone confirm if this fixes the gapless playback in Apple Music that was broken from the last update? Playback works correctly when listening thru CarPlay, but is broken when listening via BT (speaker, AirPods).

Just installed 15.5 and this bug appears to be fixed on both iPad and iPhone. As somebody who remembers manually "joining" tracks in iTunes before iPods allowed gapless playback, this was a frustrating regression into poor listening experiences. I didn't realize until 15.4 broke this just how many recordings in my collection had affected tracks.

Im not sure if this is placebo or what but animations seems super fluid on my 13 pro max, definitely an improvement. iOS starts slowly feel like something it shouldve been.

I hope they fixed the Safari Tab Group issue. I haven't been using them at all since 15.4.1 screwed them up.
 
Woo hoo! Time to download at work😝

Thanks, Apple!

Still waiting for Quicken Direct-Connect and Mint support for Apple Card and Apple Cash. Does apple not care about the integrated financial management needs of their customer base? Have they stopped listening?

Apple is now tying their mobile OS with their financial services ... case in case ... Apple Card. Leveraging the iPhone marketshare and iOS control to compete with banking services ...

In Podcasts in 15.4.1, 'Limit [the number of] Downloads' was set to OFF by default and you had to change it for each podcast. 'Remove Played Podcasts' was set to ON.
I hope they've changed the default or given us a global setting in 15.5

Mine is showing 5.82GB with no currently downloaded episodes which does seem rather high. I guess it has to maintain episode lists (played / unplayed / position if partly played / etc) for all the podcasts that you subscribe to (and I have quite a few) but I can't see how even that should need nearly 6GB of storage.
 
So 15.5 seem to have introduce a major regression causing HealthKit subsystem to get completely hosed after a few weeks of usage. The problem manifests itself like this:

1. First data sync from Apple Watch starting to get delayed and Apple Watch battery usage increases
2. 2nd - Health app hangs
3. Activity app greys out
4. Third party apps depending on HealthKit - such as Chronometer start hanging
5. The problem gets progressively worth
6. The log files are screaming with CPU overuse with stacks hand in sqllite3 in the kernel (see attached)

Apple support of course is as unhelpful as ever as they don't care about something they can't readily reproduce on a brand new system (of course - it takes time to see it) and they don't want look at their own diagnostic logs or let engineering know.
