iOS 15 is still a long way off, but we're already hearing the first leaks and rumors about it, which you can find below. Beyond that, we also have a good idea of when you'll see it, and the devices that will support it, details of which you'll also find below. Then, further down, we've included a list of some key improvements to expect from iOS 15, because with iOS 14, Apple has overhauled its operating system, mostly for the better, but the latest version available isn't. No problem. We'll also update this article whenever we hear something new about Apple's next big software update for iPhone, so check back regularly for all the details.
Come to the point
- What is it? The next big update for iOS
- When did it come out? Probably september
- How much will it cost? Will be free
IOS 15 release date
New versions of iOS usually arrive in mid-November. They usually come with a new iPhone release, so we may see iOS 15 land alongside iPhone 13, but Apple pushed iPhone 12 back to October 2020 while still releasing iOS 14 on September 16. so with or without a new iPhone, September 2021 is very likely for iOS 15. However, while this is when the final version is likely to be available on phones, Apple will almost certainly announce iOS 15 much sooner. New versions are usually unveiled at the company's WWDC in June, so expect to see iOS 15 at WWDC 2021. A developer beta will likely arrive at the same time, and a public beta It's probably coming later this month, so if you don't mind the bugs, you might be able to test iOS 15 for yourself by then. end of july. Of course, while we're talking about iOS 15 here, iPadOS 15 will almost certainly follow the same path.
News and Leaks
The only real iOS 15 leak at the time of writing is a claim that the update will only be available for iPhone 7 and later. Which means that among the devices that can accommodate iOS 14, the original iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and iPhone SE will not have the new software. While the source of this information (a site called The Verifier) has a mixed track record, it's a very credible claim, as Apple typically drops the previous generation with each new software update, and in fact, it wasn't expected. the iPhone 6S did this. I didn't even get iOS 14, so the phone didn't run out of updates.
What we want to see
iOS 14 was a great update that came with many improvements, but there are still several things that iOS 15 could do better.
1. Support for all iOS 14 devices

The iPhone 6S likely won't get iOS 15 (Image credit: Future) Apple tends to support devices for a long time, so we can't really blame the company when they stop supporting older devices, but we'd like to see support last even longer, which in this case means that all devices running iOS 14 also have iOS 15. Really, we're talking about the original iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and the original iPhone SE, because they're next on the chopping block and rumor has it that they won't get iOS 15. We hope they didn't, but it would be a pleasant surprise if they did.
2. Smarter Siri
Siri gets better with each new version of iOS, and while it's pretty good right now, there's always room for improvement, especially since it's arguably still lagging behind the Google Assistant. Above all, we just want Siri to get even better at understanding us and answering our questions accurately and helpfully. We would also like to rely less on web results and more on personalized responses.
3. Extended bike routes and Apple Maps guides

(Image credit: Apple) Apple Maps is so much better than it was before, and two recent features have made it even better. We are talking about cycling routes and guides, the latter are recommendations for things to see and do. But none of these features are available everywhere. In fact, at the time of writing, they are mostly limited to a handful of major cities. The cycle routes in particular that we would like to see offered as widely as possible. These show you routes that include bike lanes, bike lanes, etc., and allow you to choose routes that avoid hills.
4. A wish list for the App Store
The App Store used to have a wish list feature that allowed you to list the apps and games you were interested in, which was especially useful for things that cost money because you might not. Don't be sure you want to pay them. again, but you have to make sure you don't forget them. Unfortunately, Apple removed this feature years ago, so we'd really like to see it come back with iOS 15.
5. More languages in the Translator
With iOS 14, Apple added a Translate app to its mobile operating system, giving you a nifty way to translate other languages. But at launch, it only supported 12 languages, which is far fewer than Google Translate and other competing apps and services. So we want to see big improvements with iOS 15. We think this is something Apple will continue to work on, and new languages may appear before the new iOS version, but there's a lot of work to be done. What to do if Apple wants the best block translation app.
