This is RC, which is usually the same version for general release. Looking at Apple’s attitude towards bugs, they probably would just release the fix with 15.7.2, with enough time for unknowing people to think something’s wrong with their phone and buy the new iPhone instead.
True but not helpful when it comes to the article, as none of the listed devices have Face ID. Might clarify that wording @arn ?
Yet you brought it up. I’m guessing you realised it was a silly comment without foundation.
Release candidate
A release candidate (RC), also known as "going silver", is a beta version with potential to be a stable product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bugs. A release is called code completewhen the development team agrees that no entirely new source code will be added to this release.I'll lay the bet that they fix it prior to going Stable Release. Note the difference between "going silver" and what is Golden Master.
I note that you said "usually the same version as a general release". But not always. As Apple has plenty of history of having several Release Candidates.
"It compiled without errors? Ship it!"
What features were added in 15.7 which might have led to a broken 15.7.1-update?
At least the bug was caught before being released to the public, imagine broken FaceID for millions of people still on iOS 15.
I've been using the new AirPod Pro 2 for several weeks now, but they are still on the factory firmware 5A374.
Will updating to 15.7.1 on my iPhone or iPad allow them to upgrade themselves to the latest firmware ?

I Agree. Imagine if they had released it like that.
You have to imagine, because it didn’t happen, and the system worked exactly how it should.
Having just switched from a TID phone to a FID one, I have to agree. It’s really my only complaint about the 13 Mini.That's because Touch ID > Face ID
I thought better of it because I couldn’t be bothered to have that conversation. Fairly straightforward really.
I just never heard of SpyKit before. Thought it was something new. But it turns out there is a kids toy called Spykit avail on Amazon. I guess you’re talking about one you made up? I can see why you don’t want to discuss it. 😂
I already explained twice why I edited/deleted the comment. Why are you still talking about it? Let it go 👍
I let the whole idea of what you said go along time ago. If people want to come on here, just to make stuff up then why shouldn’t they be called on it, or at least asked about it?
You explained nothing.
I don’t have to explain anything. I deleted the comment because I decided I couldn’t be bothered to debate it. Hence removing it from the topic. That’s three times now.
Fair enough. I get it. It’s hard to debate something that you just made up. 🤷🏻♂️
Apple has completely lost control over the quality and development of its software.
The continuous bugs, the drop in hardware performance, the total confusion with which UXs are developed recall not the dynamism of the FLOSS but the inability to view Microsoft from Vista onwards.
Please keep updating your devices, make it easy for them.

It’s better for you because you wear something on your face. Someone working with gloves all day long could say the same thing about Touch ID. Doesn’t mean one’s better than the other.
Super Ego version only available on Pro models?
I would agree if that is what any users are doing. This is a bad bug, but of course it’ll get fixed. My post was firmly tongue-in-cheek, a play on words designed to gently poke fun at any serious overreactions. But I’m sure you know that (your ‘ego’ joke above was er, top-notch, if you’ll excuse the bonus pun!).
FWIW I still prefer TouchID, and ideally we’d have the choice of either and/or both on everything. Maybe we will one day.
We’ll see in a few days. Don’t be surprised if iPhone 14 Plus sales are low in part because iPhone 14 Pro sales aren’t.
Sorry, but FaceID (or TouchID for that matter) not working under normal conditions and normal usage must be a bug that's caught before getting out into the public testing-profiles, especially when it's called "release candidate", not even some beta-version.
