After a summer full of beta testing, Apple has officially announced today that it will launch iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 on Monday, September 20th. The update includes a handful of new features and changes, such as FaceTime updates, new notification changes, and more.

Although not mentioned during today’s event, Apple’s press release for the iPhone 13 revealed the release date.

As a reminder, iOS 15 is compatible with all iPhone and iPod touch models running iOS 14. This includes:

  • iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
  • iPhone SE (1st generation)
  • iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
  • iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
  • iPhone X
  • iPhone XS and XS Max
  • iPhone XR
  • iPhone 11
  • iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max
  • iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12
  • iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • iPhone SE (2nd generation)
  • iPod touch (7th generation)

While some features like SharePlay are missing in the first version of iOS 15, there are still a number of notable features. One of the most notable changes is the so-called Focus, which allows you to set custom preferences for notifications and home screens.

Another new feature of iOS 15 is the new Weather app, which lets you view full-screen weather maps showing rainfall, air quality and temperature. The Meteorological app design now also adjusts to show the most important weather information for this location and includes new map modules, an updated 10-day forecast, and new graphical weather data.

iOS 15 also includes a completely new design for Safari, which went through several revisions during the beta testing period. “The simplified tab bar takes up less space on the page and floats slightly above the bottom of the screen, where it’s easier to get to. The bar scrolls seamlessly as you scroll and reappear with a tap “Apple explains.
