iOS 15.7 RC is Out! - What's New

**iOS 15.7 Update: A New Version with Compatibility and Security Updates**

The latest version of iOS, iOS 15.7, has been released by Apple, bringing with it several changes and updates that are primarily aimed at enhancing compatibility with new devices such as the AirPods Pro 2. The update is not a major feature-rich release, but rather a minor update that focuses on security and bug fixes.

**Compatibility with New Devices**

One of the notable aspects of iOS 15.7 is its compatibility with new devices, particularly the AirPods Pro 2. This means that users can now charge their Apple Watch chargers using the Magsafe technology, which is a significant improvement over traditional Qi chargers or regular charging cables. The update also adds support for the new device's features, such as improved battery life and enhanced performance.

**No Major Features Introduced**

Despite its release, iOS 15.7 does not introduce any major new features to the table. According to Apple's notes, the update provides "important security updates" and is recommended for all users. This suggests that the update will focus on patching existing bugs and vulnerabilities rather than introducing significant new functionality.

**Security Updates and Bug Fixes**

The iOS 15.7 update includes several security patches and bug fixes that aim to improve the overall stability and security of the operating system. While Apple did not provide any specific details about the issues being addressed, the update is expected to include fixes for various vulnerabilities that could have been exploited by malicious actors.

**Battery Life and Performance**

Users can expect no significant changes in terms of battery life or performance with iOS 15.7. Initial tests suggest that the update does not seem to affect the phone's performance, and Pro Motion remains smooth and responsive. However, some users may notice a slight increase in temperature due to the processing demands of the update.

**Benchmarks and Performance**

Benchmark scores for iOS 15.7 have been reported, with single-core scores reaching 1739 and multi-core scores reaching 4742. These results suggest that the update does not seem to impact performance significantly, and users can expect their devices to remain responsive and efficient.

**When to Expect the Public Release**

The public release of iOS 15.7 is expected to occur within a couple of days or next week, although Apple did not provide any specific details about the timing. Users who are planning to stay on iOS 15 may want to consider installing this update to ensure they receive any security patches and bug fixes.

**Should You Install iOS 15.7?**

Whether or not you should install iOS 15.7 depends on your device's compatibility with the update and whether you have a reason to stick with the existing version of iOS. If you are using an iPhone that supports iOS 16, it may be worth skipping this update in favor of the newer operating system. However, if you want to stay on iOS 15 or experience any performance improvements, installing this update may be a good option.

**AirPods Pro 2: A New Device to Look Forward To**

The AirPods Pro 2 is expected to arrive soon, and Apple fans are eagerly awaiting its release. The new earbuds promise improved sound quality, longer battery life, and enhanced performance. With the AirPods Pro 2, users can expect a significant upgrade over their existing earbuds, making them an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their audio experience.

I would expect a similar sort of rollout this time around and so if you're wondering if you should install iOS 15.7 well if you have a device that supports iOS 16 I would probably just skip it at this point as iOS 16 is going to have all of those new features with the lock screen and more however if you want to stay on iOS 15 you definitely could try it out and then see what it's like as far as overall battery life while it's way too early to know for sure so in settings of course we can take a look at this one this is not my main device and battery health on this device is 100 however it will take a few days to measure what battery life is like however initial performance on these devices seems to be fine Pro motion is nice and smooth scrolling through apps going into Apps such as music playing music we'll give it a second to load everything seems to be really nice and smooth with 15.7 and it should be if it's the last version as far as overheating or anything the phone is getting a little bit warm as it just installed a major update but I would expect that to cool down a bit over a little bit of time as I've been showing it to you I do feel a little bit of warmth here but again it's a huge update and it needs to process a bunch of things in the background and it hasn't been that long as far as overall benchmarks I did run those so we could take a look at that if we go into geekbench you can see the scores here it scored 1739 for single core 4742 for multi-core pretty good scores considering this was just installed and it's processing in the background so that's good hopefully we'll get long life and performance out of this hopefully we see no battery changes or anything like that and it keeps its Peak Performance capability long and keeps the phone running nice and fast I know a lot of people are concerned about phones being slowed down with updates I really wouldn't worry about that too much and so this probably will be the last major update to iOS 15 and now we're moving on to iOS 16. I'd love to hear from you if you're going to stay on iOS 15.7 or iOS 15 versions or if you're moving to iOS 16. also if you're picking up a new iPhone I'd love to hear from you in the comments below as well as maybe an Apple Watch or the new airpods Pro 2. definitely I'm waiting to pick up the airpods Pro 2 myself I want to try them out see what it's all about as far as the overall quality they should be better so I'm looking forward to that but let me know what you're looking forward to and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper this is from the iPhone 14 I'll link it in the description like I normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time foreignhi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple's surprisingly released iOS 15.7 RC or release candidate this is available to developers and probably public beta testers or public very soon as this is something that's probably the last version of iOS 15. and you can see it came in at a very large 5.4 gigabytes on the iPhone 13 Pro now in order to install this you need the iOS 15 beta profile not iOS 16 otherwise you won't be able to see it now this released alongside iOS 16 RC that released right after the iPhone 14 event along with watch OS 9 RC TV OS 16 RC and then other versions of iOS 15.7 so iPad OS 15.7 RC and then Mac OS 12.6 RC so all of those released surprisingly today and so let's go ahead and take a look at the build number and then we'll talk about what's new so we'll go to settings and then we'll go to General then about you can see the build number is 19 h12 and this particular build probably will be the last major update for IOS 15. as Apple typically discontinues it but then supports older devices such as the iPhone 6s 6s plus 77 plus and those devices that were discontinued with iOS 16 support and so in this particular update there is no modem update coming from IOS 15.6.1 on the 13 Pro it's version 1.70.01 and that's really no change at all they didn't even update the version on iOS 16 betas either now you may have already seen the Apple event where they introduced the iPhone 14 14 plus iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro Max and they introduced some really neat features if you like this new display with the cutout so this new cutout they have a name for and you can see it says Dynamic Island now I showed this in the iOS 16 RC video also and I didn't think it'd be controversial but quite a few people either love it or they don't I like it quite a bit and if you have a pro display you'll be able to have this also one thing to note is the iPhone 14 pro and pro Max also have an always on display now that's only available on those devices unfortunately it won't be making its way to the 13 Pro or Pro Max due to a new display also before we talk about new features iOS 16 is releasing to the public on the 12th so on well next Monday it should be out to the public and you can install it if you want to do that now as far as new features in this particular update well this is mostly for compatibility with the new airpods Pro 2. so Apple showed those off the airpods pro themselves don't look too different than what we have with the current airpods Pro but if we go to Apple's website again and we check out the airpods pro they have an all new version so airpods give it just a moment and you'll see airpods Pro second generation they didn't call them airpods Pro 2 and you'll see you can order them starting on nine nine and they'll be available on 923 so they add some new features and this update of iOS 15.7 adds compatibility within the code itself is new images and everything else so the images that you just saw when I connected the airpods pro those images have been updated to match the new case that we get with airpods Pro 2 where it has a speaker a little lanyard attachment and allows you to use find my with it so that's something that will be all new and it will also even charge with your Apple watch charger not just a regular qi charger or magsafe so that's something that's new with the airpods but either way this adds compatibility with it within the code is mostly just changes for that no other major features are introduced additionally as far as Apple's notes they didn't provide any feedback app with new notes in them and on Apple's website that's available to the public for the notes there's nothing new there either so we don't know if they've patched any specific issues or if there's anything fixed whatsoever there's no notes from Apple at all which unfortunately isn't very helpful in fact if we take a look at what they said with the install it just says this update provides important security updates and is recommended for all users so it's going to patch some issues and that's probably about it it will have bug fixes security updates and that's it other than that I wouldn't expect it to patch anything else any additional bugs hopefully will be fixed but we won't know until it's released and I wouldn't expect any additional notes other than what I showed you in photos there just a moment ago from the screenshot as far as when to expect the iOS 15.7 public release well we could expect it as soon as either a couple days from now or next week at some point we don't know specifics as far as that goes and then also we're seeing updates with iOS 16.1 we haven't seen a new beta for that and we're waiting for the beta for the regular iPhones to get that as well Apple last year released it the day after they released iOS 15 so 15.1 betas went out after they released iOS 15.
