Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the new software coming two weeks after the release of the second beta.

Developers can download iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper profile has been installed on an iPhone or iPad.

We don't yet know what might be introduced in iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6, as Apple has now implemented all of the features that were announced as coming in the iOS and iPadOS 15 updates, and work on iOS 15 is likely winding down with iOS 16 approaching.

There were no new features discovered in the first two betas of iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6, suggesting these are updates focusing on bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements.

iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 could be some of the last updates to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 as Apple is now working on iOS 16, which is set to be released this fall.

Apple has also seeded new developer betas of tvOS 15.6 and watchOS 8.7.

I wonder if the code for Tap to Pay is present? They said it'd be launching this month and I can't imagine another 15.X coming out in the next two weeks 😮
 
iOS 15.6 beta 3 (19G5046d), iPadOS 15.6 beta 3 (19G5046d),

Home​

Resolved issues​

  • Fixed: You can only pair up to five Matter accessories in a home. (77933589)
  • Fixed: Adding a Matter accessory to a third-party app fails if an Apple Home doesn’t exist. (80341813)

Known Issues​

  • The iOS device that initiates pairing needs to be logged in to the same iCloud account as the home hub. Only the owner of a home, not an invited user, can pair Matter accessories. (76012945)

Xcode​

Known Issues​

  • Xcode 13.4 is unable to prepare iOS 15.6 beta devices for development. (93452791)
    Workaround: Use Xcode 13.3.1.
Not much mentioned

Also tvOS 15.6 beta 3 (19M5046c), watchOS 8.7 beta 3 (19U5046b) released
 
Is 15.6 Beta 2 (19G5037d) the last update for my 6s?

Because I tried to update it to iOS 15.6 beta 3 (19G5046d) but it couldn't.

If its like the previous 2021 with iOS 14 you had the following:

  • iOS 14.6 (18F72) - May 24, 2021
  • iOS 14.7 (18G69) - July 19, 2021
  • iOS 14.8 (18H17) - September 13, 2021
In other words Apple maintained iOS/IPadOS beta cycles up to the iOS 15 (19A346) - September 20, 2021 release.
From that point it will be repeating the iOS beta cycles until iOS 16 is release which drops support iPhones 6/7. Anything with iOS 15.x after that would be a security update.

Most of the time in beta cycles PB shows up the following day in the morning. If it gets close to RC it gets released the same time as DEV issue. On occasion it has appears at 13:00 PST but not today. :)
