Other than SharePlay, iOS 15.1 beta download doesn’t offer consumers much more, bar fixing SwiftUI becoming unresponsive after using the iPad pointer. This really does look like an excuse to get SharePlay onto people’s devices earlier than the full-fat release expected this fall. iPadOS 51.1 and tvOS 15.1 betas have also dropped with SharePlay support. WatchOS 8.1 beta is also in the hands of developers.
