Moving right along here, Apple has seeded the next beta for its upcoming software update to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. This latest update isn't the biggest by far, and it's not adding a whole suite of new forward facing features for the end user. However, the software does make some notable additions and changes.
Apple's new SportsKit framework indicates early plumbing work on enabling enhanced, interactive sports content across iPhone, iPad and Mac in the not-so-distant future.
A new feature lets you search within Apple Music playlists in the Music app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac to find matching songs in any of the playlists available on the service.
The beta process keeps on trucking along. Apple has seeded the latest betas of its next updates for the company's most popular operating systems. And while it might not be adding any major forward facing new features to the mix, there are certainly some noteworthy new additions.
With the launch of iOS 15 and the iPhone 13 Pro, which includes support for macro photography, Apple made a bold decision. That was automatic switching, which could be pretty aggressive sometimes. That meant that some users were unable to avoid automatically switching to Macro mode for snapping a photo, even when they didn't want it. The good news, Apple was quick to fix it with the wide launch of iOS 15.1.
iOS 15.2 brings a new Legacy Contacts feature that lets you designate one or more trusted persons who will have access to your digital life via your Apple ID after you die.
