Last week was all about Apple. At the WWDC event, Apple announced new updates for each OS including the iOS 16. iOS 16 comes with many features and everyone is trying the new dev beta. And many of us almost forgot about the iOS 15.6 Beta. Well, the beta for both iOS 16 and iOS 15.6 is going parallelly so users can go with the beta that they want to test. And to continue the iOS/iPadOS 15.6 testing, Apple releases third betas of iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6.
iOS 15.6 Beta 2 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 2 were released on the first day of this month. And as you know there was a gap last week because of events and other announcements, Apple is back to iOS 15.6.
Both iOS 15.6 Beta 3 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 3 come with build number 19G5046d. Along with these two updates, Apple also released macOS Monterey 12.5 Beta 3, watchOS 8.7 Beta 3, and tvOS 15.6 Beta 3. iOS 15.6 Beta 3, and iPadOS 15.6 beta 3 update size can vary as per the device and version you are coming from. It can be around 500 MB.
Coming to the changes and new features in iOS 15.6 Beta, the update comes with an update to Modem Firmware which might fix any connectivity issues available on your device. Other than this there are no major features or changes. The same was expected because Apple is to release new features on iOS 16.
This update is more like a security and bug fix update. And now it is one step closer to the public release.
iOS 15.6 Beta 3 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 3 updates are currently available to developers. But soon it will be available to public beta testers. It might already be live by the time you are reading it. You can manually check for the update by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
In case you are on a public build you need to install beta profile on your iPhone.
