The release of iOS 15 is still a ways off, but rumors still abound We've gathered what we know so far and what we'd like to see Apple will talk more about iOS 15 at WWDC 2021 later this year, but in the meantime we will see leaks

Apple changed things up with iOS 14 last year, bringing features that users have been asking for, such as widgets on the home screen It also added App Library, which automatically organizes apps, and the ability to change the default browser and email client And iOS 15 should bring even more improvements

Based on leaks and rumors so far, here is what we know so far about iOS 15, which will debut with the upcoming iPhone 13 lineup

Apple typically announces a new version of iOS along with the newest iPhone of the year This usually takes place in September However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Apple delayed the launch of the iPhone 12 series until October, with iOS 14 still being released in September 2020

Given that, we expect iOS 15 to drop this September However, Apple will very likely talk about it this summer at WWDC, its annual developer conference There we will likely hear more about new features and tweaks Also, the developer and public betas will probably be revealed around that time

In iOS 14, users could install the public beta to try out new features There is no reason to believe that Apple will not do the same with iOS 15

Apple has not officially released a list of which devices will get iOS 15 However, rumors suggest that the new version will only be available for iPhone 7 and above If so, the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and the original iPhone SE will be left out in the cold

If true, here are the iPhones that are likely to get iOS 15:

And obviously, the iPhone 13 series will get iOS 15 from the start

We are bound to see many new things with iOS 15, but nothing is set in stone yet That said, we have a bit of a wish list of things we'd like to see in the new iOS there are still a few things that Android does well that iOS could benefit from

Improved notifications: this has long been the bane of iOS It is something that Google continues to improve on in Android, and we are very hopeful that Apple will apply some of those lessons to iOS 15 iOS notification triage is a nightmare Inline replies are sorely needed for apps that support them Grouping needs to be adjusted so that important information is not buried Actionable notifications, like deleting an email, should be clearer and more intuitive

Better Siri: Siri is not that great Sure, it has improved considerably with each new iteration, but it lags far behind Google Assistant In this respect, Apple still has a lot of room to grow We want better voice recognition and better native answers Pulling up a web search is nice, but what makes the Assistant useful is its ability to answer many questions directly, something Siri can't match

More default apps: With iOS 14, Apple finally allowed users to choose their default browser and email client This was a very good step in the right direction However, I wish Apple would start by changing the default SMS and make it a bit more liberal iMessage is fine to use, but switch to something like Signal and allow all chats to be done in the same app Defaults for other apps like music, video, etc would also be welcome
