What's new in iOS 15? Should I update?

As usual, Apple releases a major iOS update once a year, bringing with it a host of new features and security improvements to its users. iOS 15 is the next major iOS update that Apple is implementing and officially reaching users in this year 2021.

What's new in iOS 15?

Similar to iOS 14 and older versions, iOS 15 will be officially launched by Apple at WWDC event in June. The latest iOS update will officially roll out to users this September with the launch of new iPhone lines and models. Currently the WWDC event has not happened yet, so all the new features on iOS 15 are just speculations.

1. Support to change many default applications

On iOS 14, Apple allows users to change default apps for the first time with third-party apps. Unfortunately, this feature is only available with the Safari browser and the default email app.

However, a recent report said that on iOS 14.5, Apple is likely to expand, allowing users to choose the default music player. With this move by Apple, we can expect the Apple family to deploy, support changing many other default applications on the iOS 15 update.

2. New Presentation Mode in FaceTime

In the context of the current COVID pandemic, online conferencing and meeting solutions such as Zoom or Skype are becoming more popular than ever. However, the biggest limitation of these solutions is that they do not support Presentation Mode (presentation mode).

Most likely with iOS 15 released this year, Apple may add a new presentation mode on FaceTime to allow users to share the screen and present their lessons.

3. Widgets (widgets) on the lock screen

Other noteworthy changes on iOS 14 have to mention the widgets pinned right on the home screen in many different shapes and sizes. However, these widgets are not available on the lock screen, so there is a possibility that Apple will expand this widget support right on the iPhone lock screen on the iOS 15 update.

4. Support many other languages ​​in Translate application

Since iOS 14, Apple added a new Translate app that supports translation into 12 different languages. Compared to its rival, Google Translate, Apple's translation app supports much less language translation.

Therefore, users can hope that with iOS 15 update, Apples will add support for more languages ​​in their translation application.

When is iOS 15 available?

According to the roadmap, the iOS 15 update will be introduced at the WWDC event in June this year and will be officially rolled out to users this fall, most likely in September.
