Everything New in iOS 15.2 Beta 3: Macro Mode Updates, iCloud Private Relay Tweaks and More

Apple is really underselling their Private Relay features.

They still label it is "Beta", so I assume they do not necessarily want to widely promote a feature which they know is not fully ready yet. Not that they didn't do the same with UC, but it doesn't mean mistakes should be repeated.
 
Anyone else notice that Siri cant communicate between iPhone and AW for battery status ?, is this fixed on the BETAs?

Note that you can have multiple eSIMs on earlier models, you just can only have one active at a time.

Having your main carrier on an eSIM may actually be better for traveling because you can buy those cheap prepaid SIM kits at the airport, pop it in, and go.

The situation varies wildly, though, which is why you shouldn't transfer a physical sim to an eSIM unless you have to. Might as well not limit your options, since you can't go in the other direction without talking to your carrier and getting a new SIM card.

This is what I do and I keep a few eSIMs saved for places that I travel to often and just swap to them when I land. Having the slot open for a physical sim has been life saver on a few occasions. Just make sure your phone is unlocked before you try it.

I, and I think many other usual public beta testers are not signing up for betas after certain disheartening comments from Apple. And now when these software updates are released they don’t have all the testing they once had, leaving us with less than stellar software updates.

Does this update fix the pinch to zoom bug in safari and mail on iPhone xs/xs max? This has been bugging me since updating to 15.1.

Sounds like a travesty.

If you prefer it with a bit more flexibility shoot in RAW or snag Halide. You don't have to live in a hellish state.

that is not a solution unless apple allows opening a different default camera app from the lockscreeen, the place from where you open the camera most of the times after pulling the phone out of the pocket.

you like smarthdr oil painting? fine. enjoy it. but I don't so let me live and let me disable it.

Can you elaborate on what you are experiencing? Personally, with the iPhone 13 Pro, I see a lot of processing when zoomed in that destroys detail and replaces it with… smudge. For example trees and leaves end up like a painting. I have never seen this on my iPhone 11 Pro, but it might be me focusing on this just now (or indeed a new issue).
Is that what you are referring to as well?

yes it's been called watercolor / oil painting / cartoon face effect. it's the aggressive post processing done by SmartHDR. See here and here and here and here

the cause is the SmartHDR which cannot be turned off and on models without ProRAW you cannot get rid of even when shooting raw because even if you shoot RAW with Lightroom as DNG for example, the API give you a postprocessed image even if the app asks for unprocessed RAW.

Apple is too proud to ever admit something done wrong but they can shift only with massive feedback.
Try https://www.apple.com/feedback/camera/ and hope. else sell it as soon as possible before big media and voices pick the story and crowds will start to not want to buy it
