In the fall we can probably expect a new update of the operating system of the iPhone. What can we expect from iOS 15? We list some rumors for you.
While iOS 14.5, which includes more than 200 new emoji and some tweaks to the Music app, has yet to be released, the focus of iPhone users especially with the next major update of the operating system: iOS 15.
Since iOS 14 already introduced quite a few new features, there are rumors that iOS 15 is actually not going to be that big of an update at all, but rather will build on relatively new functionalities from the current operating system, including the widgets on the home screen and camera settings. .
In iOS 14, the Camera app was tackled a lot: according to Apple, the app has become 90% faster and also starts 25% faster. The ability to mirror selfies was also introduced.
More choice in standard apps
According to tech website PhoneArena you get even more options in iOS 15 to determine your default apps. Since iOS 14, it has already been possible to replace Safari and Mail as the default app for a browser and email program of your choice and with the arrival of iOS 14.5, the Apple Music app no ​​longer has to be your default choice if you want to listen to music . According to PhoneArena, you get even more options in iOS 15 to determine your default apps yourself.
The tech website also foresees that widgets will have more interactive functions, similar to the way widgets work in Android. Think of playing music via a widget or checking off chores on your to-do list.
It would also be possible to adjust the size of widgets, for example making important widgets larger and more present than simple widgets that only show the time.
Always-on display
According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 13 will get an always-on display, just like the Apple Watch. The screen of your phone will always remain on, provided you choose this of course. If this function actually comes, it is obvious that iOS 15 will respond to it, for example by showing notifications in a different way when your phone is locked, according to PhoneArena.
Furthermore, it appears that iOS 15 will be available for the iPhone 7 or later. Not a big surprise, given that the older iPhone 6 models are now more than five years old and still have the A9 chip built in. To be able to run iOS 15, an A10 chip is probably needed, which can be found in Apple’s smartphone since the iPhone 7.
Launch
Finally, it seems obvious that the final version of the operating system will be released in September, just like in previous years (with the exception of corona year 2020), along with a new iPhone. A first version of the operating system can be presented by Apple in June during the World Wide Developers Conference.
