With the full-fat iOS 15.2 experience out in the wild, developers and curious iPhone/iPad enthusiasts are looking at the next beta release from Apple. iOS 15.3 will be the next iteration of iOS 15, but surely there’s not a lot of features to add thanks to the large iOS 15.2 updates bringing a lot of iOS 15 missing features into the fold.
Universal Control is still waiting for its iOS debut with it being delayed from fall 2021 to ‘sometime in 2022’ according to Apple, so that’s 100% not making an appearance. In fact, there are no new release patch notes for iOS 15.3 at all according to Apple’s developer website.
