Is it out for public beta yet and if so how to I select 15.5 vs 16? Thanks

 

[gwang73]

IPSW now available.

Where can I get the iOS 15 beta Profil? On beta.apple.com there’s only iOS 16 beta profile.

 

[Anatolian]

I guess 13 pro red tint issue a bit improved.

 

[Reeneman]

Installed. Feels a bit more polished than 15.5 but overall no huge difference.

 

[Blue Hawk]

It feels good but how you’ve said. Not much difference.

 

[BrightCanon]

does this help with T-Mobile modems? Ive been losing signal multiple times a day. In the past maybe had 1 drop a month

You're correct. I fixed the Wiki.

hopefully has fixed mail notifications. has been broken since 15.5

hopefully has fixed mail notifications. has been broken since 15.5

I had this same issue with 15.5 and took me forever to figure it out. I went to notifications>mail>customize notifications and made sure my account had all alerts,sounds and badges turned on.

After installing iOS 15.5 I lost all auditable notifications and this fixed it, for some reason the alerts slider was turned off by default.

I just installed this RC (DFU and set up as new) and it was turned off by default as well so I had to go in and change it again, no other release in history since I started using the mail app (iOS 12) have I ever had to do this.

 

[tosbsas]

Battery is awesome on RC

 

[pw5a29]

Seems like an overall good update this 15.6.

Can't really say what's better, but no abnormal drain, heat, sluggish and whatsoever.

 

[multimedios]

iPhone 11 here, I updated to the latest RC version and put the iphone to charge and it took 3 hours at 83%

Wait, I will fit it for you:

hopefully has fixed mail notifications. has been broken since 0.5

they all are set up right. there’s other forum posts about my exact issue. i sent a full bug report to apple about it so hopefully it’s fixed.

neither have i had a problem like this ever

I am finding apps are reloading sooner than they did with ios 15.5 13 pro max, Everything else seems to be on par with 15.5

 

[Blue Hawk]

I’ve experienced some bugs here and there. Some new some old. I can’t believe that Apple still hasn’t fixed these old bugs. And my AirPods don’t want to connect anytime and sometimes they disconnect. The volume goes down for no reason.

Noticed the exact same thing. RAM management is really poor on this RC

 

[Frixos]

When do you think we'll see 15.6 released?

Do you feel it is still bad on final release?
Thank you

What are some of the apps? Does it affect existing tabs opened on Safari?
