A New iOS 15.3 RC has Been Released for Developers and Public Beta Testers

The latest update to the iOS operating system, iOS 15.3 RC (Release Candidate), has been made available for registered developers and public beta testers alike. This update marks a significant milestone in the development process, as it is now just a few steps away from becoming the final release version of iOS 15.3. As always, this update is an indicator of the release candidate's file size, which can be measured to determine its completeness. In this case, the download size for the RC build is approximately five to six gigabytes, which will overwrite the entire OS to install a fresh new version of iOS 15.3 on your device.

As expected, the bill number for this update has been released as well, and it can be checked in the About section of the Settings app. For those who are interested in tracking the development process, the bill number is 15.3 (rc) 1 9 d 4 9. This update marks a significant shift in Apple's approach to software releases, as it comes at a time when many users are still running iOS 14. With the recent release of iOS 14.8 and other point updates, Apple has now made it clear that they will no longer allow users to stay in iOS 14 indefinitely.

If you're currently running iOS 14 and prefer not to update to iOS 15, this means that you'll need to make a decision soon. While Apple has stated that the temporary measure was put in place to provide users with security patches while still working on iOS 15, it's clear that this is no longer the case. With iOS 15.3 now available as an RC build, Apple will continue to support and update iOS 14 until a final decision is made about its future.

One of the most significant changes in iOS 15.3 RC is the addition of Private Relay. This feature has been available under iCloud settings for some time, but it's now clear that this service requires support from your carrier or ISP. Apple has added a new prompt to notify users if their carrier does not support Private Relay or has disabled its functionality on their end. For those who are interested in using this feature, the update includes an option to enable or disable Private Relay under Settings > Privacy > Private Relay.

As of now, there's not much else to discuss regarding the features and changes in iOS 15.3 RC. However, it's worth noting that Apple tends to release updates on a regular basis, often with multiple beta builds before settling on a final version. The recent break in software releases has been followed by an onslaught of new versions, including iOS 15.2.1 and the latest iOS 15.3 RC.

The expected release date for iOS 15.3 is unclear at this time, but it's likely that the update will be released to the general public soon. While Apple's release patterns have been altered in recent months, it's clear that they continue to test and refine their software before its official release. The final review of iOS 15.3 RC has not yet taken place, but we can expect an announcement about the upcoming release date in the coming days.

Battery performance is expected to be a topic of discussion regarding iOS 15.3, although no details have been released at this time. As always, we'll be monitoring the situation closely and providing updates on any notable changes or improvements that may arise from the final version of iOS 15.3.

In conclusion, with the release of iOS 15.3 RC now available for developers and public beta testers, it's clear that Apple is pushing forward with its software development process. As we wait for the official release date of this update, we can expect further updates on the features, changes, and performance improvements that come with iOS 15.3.

of a download as i always say this is simply overwriting the entire os to install a fresh new version of ios 15.3 on your devices so if you're a developer or a public beta tester you should see this

number there it is we have 15.3 the rc will be 1 9 d 4 9 so this is pretty much the official final release now apple has before released uh rc2 in the past for minor bugs in last minute fixes we'll have to wait and see what apple will do with 15.3 we can expect the software to be releasing to the general public here in just about a week or so but before we get to one of the changes with this software i also want to quickly talk about ios 14 yes ios 14 the software that many users continue to run on their iphones if you're running ios 14.3 14.4 14.8 any ios 14 point update apple is no longer allowing users to stay in ios 14 but you would rather have to update to ios 15. now apple themselves has already expressed that this was a temporary move for users to stay in ios 14 if they didn't want to update to ios 15 while still receiving security patches and apple will still have the time to fix any bugs within ios 15 in order to have those users within ios 14 finally update to ios 15 in this case 15.3 now marks the end of that where you can stay in ios 14 while still receive security patches again apple has mentioned that this was temporary so if you have an ios 14 device and you're looking to update to ios 15 honestly 15.3 is a solid update let's talk about some of the changes here now as i mentioned ios 15.3 contains one change here and in my opinion is an important move by apple here so with private relay apple has now this new prompt that allows you to know if your carrier does not support this or they actually disable this feature on your end and of course private relay remains in beta under icloud settings here if we go to private relay you can see here that private relay obviously hides your ip address and browser activity in safari for unencrypted web traffic of course not even apple can see who you are and what you're doing online so private relay really protects your internet activity right and that way it can protect you even further by hiding your ip address apple has now added the ability for your iphone to notify you if your carriers does not support this or if you carry actually disabled this functionality on their end and that's one of the major changes with ios 15.3 honestly there really isn't a whole lot more to talk about with this software other than expected release date right now i thought this software will remain in beta for the next month or so but wow am i surprised to see that apple has already pushed the rc it's kind of interesting how apple is working nowadays with software releases and beta releases we just saw ios 15.2.1 being released to address a few bugs and not to say that this is a bad thing right apple continues to stay on top of their game patching security flaws and things like that but just a lot of software releases here in the past uh several weeks right we did get a three weeks break but now we just get back to back software and uh expect a release date for the software if history is any indication keep in mind apple's release patterns has really changed over the past several months this software could be released to the general public as early as the week of the 24th and next week by the end of january which is surprising to me obviously we will most likely see another beta on top of that after the official release of the software apple continues to test software and beta software as soon as they release new updates as ios 15.3 lingers here in the next couple of days we'll have to wait and see of course stay tuned here to the channel for more follow-up updates in terms of
