What could be the fix in this beta ?

 

[thebartonfox]

No release notes showing on my iPhone 12 Pro

 

[multimedios]

not avalaible, yet. IP11

 

[MarcinRSE]

Not seeing any update

 

[geneo]

It is not a beta. Or is it sarcasm? LOL

 

[mfender]

I think this is the release, not beta.

 

[mfender]

15.3 beta 2 is out, also.

 

[TimFL1]

I think this is the release, not beta.

It‘s a release. Just showed up for me without any beta profile installed (coming from 15.2).

Roughly 1Gb on 13 Pro Max (forgot to check size properly). No release notes though.

 

[Blue Hawk]

It’s a very big update

 

[kneezmo]

It’s a very big update

near 800 mb on my iPhone

 

[Blue Hawk]

near 800 mb on my iPhone

970,7 MB on my 13 Pro Max without Release notes.

 

[mcvaughan]

Is OTA update failing to download for anyone?

 

[Canyda]

It's downloading on my iPhone 11 in Canada.

 

[Tsepz]

Downloading on 11 Pro Max and A12Z iPad Pro 11”, no change log on either lol…

 

[MarcinRSE]

Is anyone seeing this in Finder/iTunes ?

 

[freemannnn]

Why i sense on my iphone 7 that touch issues are fixed?

 

[Kylo83]

Did it fix the Apple Music streaming bug

 

[BrightCanon]

Did it fix the Apple Music streaming bug

According to the notes no

 

[Samdh90]

According to the notes no

Where were you able to find the change notes? The only thing that Apple seems to have posted is still either 15.2 or 15.3 beta 1(not useful either).

 

[Kyriakosss4]

Can someone confirm if it contains the same modem version as in 15.2? IP12-13 line
Answer: yep it does, but IP11 line gets a newer version

That always takes longer. Be patient and try again later.

I may be wrong now that I looked again. Says 15.2. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-15_2-release-notes

No worries. Not sure why Apple hasn't disclosed anything yet. I am trying to be hopeful they finally fixed things but would not be surprised if they didn't ... lol

Keyboard freezes in the lockscreen when answering messages in WhatsApp and stupid auto correction fails still present.
