One build ahead of RC.

 

[Banglazed]

May have to remove beta profile to see it

Yup, that’s what it was!
Thanks as always Banglazed!

That official changelog is really in depth from Apple ... /s

just like the last update, 1gb in size and no changelog, strange

 

[Samdh90]

just like the last update, 1gb in size and no changelog, strange

What is funny though is if you view the security content of the update, this is what is said on that page ...

"The latest version of iOS and iPadOS is 15.2.1."
Update: as soon as I share this, the page is updated. of course haha

Did Watch or HomeOS builds change or was it just iOS and iPadOS?

 

[Canyda]

Did Watch or HomeOS builds change or was it just iOS and iPadOS?

Watch 8.4 is out today too. I don't have a HomePod, so can't comment there.

I don’t think watchOS changed; I deleted the profile, reset (both hard and soft), and nothing appeared.

Nothing was showing up after deleting profile on HomePods so I reset my Home configuration (only two HomePods so not that tedious to set back up) and now it seems to be pulling this public version of 15.3; the ‘Pods were already on 15.3 RC.

 

[Banglazed]

IPSW is out on Dev

 

[GoldenChild]

Really hoping this fixes my battery life on my 13PM. I was only getting 7-8 hours of SOT with the RC.

Watch 8.4 is out today too. I don't have a HomePod, so can't comment there.

HomePod is out, as well.

 

[PKIDelirium]

Also TV.

 

[gwhizkids]

Well, good to know this dialog is still there on MacOS 11.2. Hope to be able to, you know, select something here very soon!

 

[cbreze]

Wow, just over 5GB on my 13 pro.

 

[Sci_Tech]

Shows only 1GB size for me on my 13 pro…

 

[Dave.Inwood1988]

So do we have to remove beta profiles on HomePods/watches/Apple TV

 

[Cobold]

Wow, just over 5GB on my 13 pro.

Only when you come from a beta or RC. Is has always been the case, that in such a case, the full release is downloaded, even via OTA.

When you are coming from the last final, it’s just 1GB.

 

[Samdh90]

So do we have to remove beta profiles on HomePods/watches/Apple TV

I saw it was advised on the phone. I can only assume that to answer your question with a yes.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗]

Showing up as 1.06 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max it's a big one.

 

[Samdh90]

I have not yet made up my mind if I want to jump yet but coming from 15.1.1 on a 12 Pro, the update is sitting at 972.5MB

 

[gtmead09]

Has anyone seen HomePod OS come via OTA yet today?

 

[barstep]

Has anyone seen HomePod OS come via OTA yet today?

My HomePod Minis are both updating at the moment

 

[Broken Hope]

Modem firmware on my 13 Pro Max is slightly lower than the RC.
