Apple releases first iOS 15. 6 and macOS 12. 5 public beta for testing

One day after seeding iOS 15. 6 beta 1 to developers, Apple is now releasing the public beta version to users enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program. Alongside the first public beta of iOS 15. 6, Apple is also making available the new versions of tvOS 15. 6, macOS 12. 5, and watchOS 8.7.

Today’s iOS 15. 6 beta 1 build is 19G5027e. Different from past versions, Apple hasn’t made available any important features so far. This will likely be the latest iOS 15 major update before the release of iOS 16 later in the fall.

Here’s what Apple announced with iOS 15. 5 early this week:

• Wallet now enables Apple Cash customers to send and request money from their Apple Cash card
• Apple Podcasts offers a new way to set a limit on the number of episodes you can store and then delete any older

.

• Fixes an error that may cause home automation to fail due to people leaving or arriving.

Alongside iOS 15. 6 beta 1, Apple is also seeding macOS 12. 5 beta 1 (build 21G5027d), tvOS 15. 6 beta 1(build 19M5027c), and watchOS 8. 7 beta 1 (build 19U5027c) to public testers.

In a few weeks from now, Apple will hold its WWDC 2022 event, where the company will announce the next milestone for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Rumors so far believe iOS 16 will bring nice improvements.

According to recent rumors, iOS 16 is expected to bring significant improvements to notifications as well as a new interface for iPadOS multitasking. 9to5Mac reported earlier this year that Apple has been working on adding expanded settings for Focus Mode in iOS 16.
