iOS 15 beta 7 and iPadOS 15 beta 7 are rolling out now on iPhone and iPad

Apple has been releasing iOS 15 betas on Tuesday in recent months, but for whatever reason, the company waited to drop the latest beta on Wednesday this week. We'll keep an eye out for notable updates, but developers can grab iOS 15 beta 7 and iPadOS 15 beta 7 now.

First of all, we should point out that all of the devices that were supported by iOS 14 will be supported by iOS 15 as well, so if you were able to update to iOS 14, you’re in the clear for at least one more year, even if you’re still using an iPhone 6s Plus, an iPad Air 2, or an iPad mini 4.

As for the new features, iOS 15 is upgrading FaceTime with spatial audio, a grid view, Portrait Mode, and SharePlay to share music, movies, and more during video calls. The new Focus feature lets you make custom modes to decide which notifications you see depending on what time it is and where you are, Live Text can recognize text and make it selectable, and a few apps are getting significant redesigns, including Maps and Weather. All in all, it’s a pretty substantial update.
