Expected Highlights | In Detailed
Well, we really won’t have a great sense of what facilities are actually appearing with iOS 15 until it’s unveiled in June 2021. As we all aware of the fact that iOS 14 was a massive update, therefore, it might be possible that iOS 15 will comes up with a few minor changes and instead develop on the base iOS 14 set up and enhance its functionality.
Notification Updates in iOS 15
As rumors suggest, the iOS 15 comes up with some amazing notification updates. Well, users can set different notification preferences based on modern status, therefore, if you are awake for example, then you might get notifications with sound, while the sound may be turned off automatically if you are sleeping.
Moreover, users can choose different categories like working, driving, or even sleeping, plus there will be another choice to make custom categories for individually controlling notifications. The menu bar for selecting a mode will be available on the Lock Screen and even in the Control Center.
Apple is also combining some of the amazing options for setting automatic replies to incoming notifications/messages based on these statuses. But, currently, the auto-reply option works while driving but not in other circumstances.
iMessage
Well, there are updates to iMessage as well, though some of them are not available at this moment. However, Apple is stated to be aiming to better contend with WhatsApp.
Privacy
Apple will blend a new menu that confirms which applications are quietly collecting data from users, with Apple intending to improve device privacy even furthermore.
Food Tracking
An unknown rumor suggests that Apple intends to combine a new food tracking facility that comes up with the Health app, however, this is unclear how extensive this facility might be. This could significantly enable users to log the food items that they consume, giving nutritional details along with the calorie tracking functionality. This is not known if users will require to manually put all info or if Apple is working on some kind of food database.
Dark Mode tweaks
There might be some dark mode tweaks available to the different color alternatives, such as iMessage bubbles.
Settings ApplicationUpdates
We might find a few minor user interface modifications that were found in screenshots of Accessibility features assumed to be coming in iOS 15, unveiling inset cells and combined navigation bars in the Settings app.
iPadOS Additions
And when it comes to the iPad, Apple is preparing to introduce a new Home Screen so that users can put widgets anywhere on the Home Screen, and a complete app grid will be replaceable with widgets.
Other Opportunities
According to the Wall Street Journal‘s Joanna Stern, Apple will introduce some major to minor enhancements to iMessage, Safari, Health, and Maps.
New Accessibility Alternatives
During the celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Apple unveiled a few new accessibility facilities that are coming to iPadOS, iOS, and watchOS in the iPadOS 15, iOS 15, and watchOS 8 updates. To know them, let’s have a look below!
- Background Sounds
For supporting neurodiversity, Apple is combining a Background Sounds feature that’s composed to reduce distractions to help users stay calm, or stay focus. Bright, dark, or balanced noise sounds can be accessible, including the rain, ocean, or stream sounds. Of course, these sounds can be set to play in the background for masking external or undesired environmental noise. Apple also claims that the sounds blend into or duck under other audio and system sounds.
- MFi Hearing Aid Enhancements
Apple also launching new support for bi-directional hearing aids, allowing FaceTime conversations and hands-free phones. Next-generation models coming with MFi Hearing Aid Enhancements.
- iPad Eye-Tracking
Based on our extensive survey and research, it has been come to know that later this year, iPadOS will support third-party eye-tracking systems for letting users control iPad with their eyes which is truly a stunning highlight.
- Additional Exciting Memoji Customizations
Some additional exciting emojis are coming to better serve users with cochlear implants, oxygen tubes, and a soft helmet for headwear.
- AssistiveTouch
For people with limited mobility, AssistiveTouch will support the Apple Watch to be used without the necessity to touch the controls or the display. Built-in optical heart rate sensor, motion sensors, and on-device machine learning will let Apple Watch identify definite differences in tendon activity and muscle movement that will measure a cursor on the screen through hand gestures like a clench or a pinch. AssistiveTouch begins later this year.
- Audiograms for Headphone Accommodations
Headphone Accommodations will get support for audiograms, therefore users will be able to customize their audio on their own by simply importing their most advanced hearing test results.
- Display and Text Size Frames
This will be customizable on each and every app for users who are colorblind or have other vision challenges to make the screen more clear as well as comfortable to see.
- Sound Actions for Switch Control
It replaces physical switches and keys with mouth sounds — such as pop, clicks, or “ee” sound.
Compatibility
According to our survey and current rumors, the iOS 15 update will drop support for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, 2016 iPhone SE, and iPhone 6s Plus. This means the iOS 15 will be only available on the following devices:
- All the variant of iPhone 12 (Pro, Promax, Max, Mini)
- Every variant of iPhone 11 (Pro, Max)
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone X
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 8

The iPhone 6, 6s, and 6s Plus first launched in 2015, while the iPhone SE (first-generation) arrived in 2016, therefore, it wouldn’t be a wonder to find the new update drop support for these outdated models.
To be very honest, there’s no word yet on which iPads will be able to run iPadOS 15!
