I believe iOS 15 is already more stable. iOS 14 was the buggiest release, for me, since 11.
Got a tip for us?

Everything New in iOS 15 Beta 3: New Safari Search, Address Bar Relocation and Reload

You can pull to refresh in the new safari. I don’t think I’ve needed to tap the refresh button at all since starting to use the beta.
I don’t mind the search towards the bottom as much because I have a short reach (yes I could use reachability but I always forget).
What would be more useful to me would be moving “Find on Page” out of the share sheet, and directly onto the context menu and/or search bar as a search option.

Yes and remember a simple tap at the top (near the notch) will zip you to the top of the page.
So yeah, stuff at the bottom needs to come up OVER the URL bar. But I like it at the bottom, it just should've been implemented exactly the same way as the bar at the top. It makes a lot of sense for it to be under my thumb. That part is great. But all the little details about tab groups and bouncing all over the place were terrible.
It's the thing where the bar moves from the bottom to the top that makes me wonder what's going on. It's a really commonly known UI principle not to move stuff around like that. It defeats muscle memory and it's jarring and unnecessary. Who signed off on THAT?
Hiding icons in general is a bad idea. This whole 'hidden controls' kick that they're on is terrible. I still hate how I have to mouse over notifications in MacOS to get to see the close widget.
While this is true, it sort of obviates the benefit of putting the address bar down at the bottom so you can use it without reaching to the top. It's a totally incoherent decision to put the address bar somewhere much more convenient and then force you to be at the top of the page to reload, which needs to be done by moving your hand to the top and tapping at the top of the phone. Just show the reload button all the time. People use it. Stop hiding controls people use. That goes for the share sheet too.
iOS 15 is the first year where I‘m really excited for a new feature: SharePlay
I‘ve been asking for something like that for years and it finally happens. Fingers crossed it finds wide adoption (Prime, Netflix etc).
I'm using iPad Air 2, going from iPadOS 15 beta 2 to beta 3. I noticed a change to Photos comments. Beta 2 showed the picture, and comments overlaid, if you show them. Beta 3 shows the picture, then *replaces* the picture by the comments, if you show them. May be be better on a small phone screen, but not on iPad, esp if comment is not large. This seems one area for a difference between iPadOS 15 and iOS 15.
As long as they are offering options, a haptic press on the three-dots menu should be available to either trigger reader view or to reload page
