iOS 15 Is Here: Everything To Know And How To Update Your iPhones

Apple has announced a new update for its mobile device and iPad, the iOS 15 and iPadOS 15.

The launch came as no surprise.

During the launch event of its iPhone 13 and other products, Apple announced that September 20 was the launch date of a new software update.

However, the release of this update is incremental to past Apple updates.

Compared to previous iOS updates, what iOS 15 brings is minimal, and there is little change to point to in terms of performance and battery life.

Others had brought much-needed changes like iOS 10 making third-party apps hook into his OS, iOS 12 changes battery life and performance, or iOS 13 bringing dark mode.

Still, it’s a significant update because the features it comes along with would make a difference irrespective of our little it is.

Some of the features include the ability to FaceTime Android owners, store your driver’s license in your digital wallet and some major Apple maps upgrades.

However, this is just a launch update, and so other amazing features of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 will be running along later.

As of fall, Apple would launch the SharePlay feature under the iOS 15 update.

Also, the Apple Maps feature has been limited to some particular locations in New York, London, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Soon, it would spread to more locations.

You can begin to access the updated software feature as soon as Apple sends you a notification.

However, if Apple is yet to notify you to update your device iOS to iOS 15, you don’t have to worry.
