iOS 15.1 Developer Beta is coming! Some bugs could be repaired by this update!

Apple today released the first beta version of iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 to developers. iOS 15.1 can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center, or the correct configuration file can be installed for OTA upgrade.

At the same time, Apple also released the beta versions of watchOS 8.1 and tvOS 15.1. iOS 15.1 includes some features originally scheduled to be launched in iOS 15, such as SharePlay.

As an extended version of iOS 15, the new system mainly fixes some system bugs. In addition to iOS 15.1, Apple also released the HomePod 5.1 beta, adding lossless audio and Dolby Atmos support to HomePod and HomePod mini. The HomePod beta software is an invitation-only version and is only available for testing by developers.

Apple said earlier this year that for various reasons, it will not automatically push iOS 15 to users, and pointed out that it will continue to provide security updates for iOS 14 after the launch of the new operating system.

Users who are still using iOS 14 will see two software update options in the settings, one is the latest iOS 14 version with bug fixes, and the other is iOS 15.

In addition, Apple also stopped signing the iOS 14.7.1 code, thus ending the downgrade operation from iOS 14.8 and the recently released iOS 15.

Apple released iOS 14.7.1 in late July as a patch to solve the problem that Apple Watch cannot be unlocked by iPhone with Touch ID.

The patch also fixes a security vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. According to reports, the security vulnerability was used in a zero-click attack deployed in the Pegasus hacking tool of NSO Group.
