Apple Seeds Second Release Candidates of iOS/iPadOS 15.6

18 JULY 2022 - A gentle reminder that releases candidates are still just candidates. MacRumors ran a piece Friday saying that Apple had seeded second release candidates of iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 to both developers and public testers. According to Apple’s release notes:

iOS 15.6 includes enhancements, bug fixes and security updates.

- TV app adds the option to restart a live sports game already in-progress and pause, rewind, or fast-forward

- Fixes an issue where Settings may continue to display that device storage is full even if it is available

- Fixes an issue that may cause braille devices to slow down or stop responding when navigating text in Mail

- Fixes an issue in Safari where a tab may revert back to a previous page

Aside from going back in time on live sporting events, not a lot that’s new or exciting in the planned release. Of course, that’s to be expected this time of year. New and exciting will be reserved for iOS 16 and its contemporaries. Those are due out this fall.
