iOS and iPadOS
I haven't updated to iOS 15 yet, because I was aware of bugs before the release date. What bugs, if any, have you noticed with the current OS and VoiceOver?
the best time to upgrade ios is in march following the release, personally i set my reminder for the second tuesday of march every year. when the time comes, i'll have sufficient info, and i can upgrade with utmost confidence. no need to worry about bugs and frantically search for information every day, for anxiety ain't good for yu, you know. just relax and wait till march.
I you use the so call focus and use an AirPod pro focus does not work. Do not disturb turn it self off. I suppose to be on when you create a focus. For example I setup focus whenever I am using music app. Also if you play music and want to go to home, do not disturb turn it self off. Only works if you have the app open. I thought unlucky 13 was bad. 15 is almost there. Wait for iOS 15.1 which might come out next week.
Hello. I am running iOS 15.0.1 here on my iPhone 7, and I think the only rather major bug in VoiceOver that I've seen is with the messaging app. It appears that when trying to close it via the App Switcher after sending a message to someone, the app gets stuck on the Dictate button. The workaround for this that I discovered is to press the Home button a few times, and then the app should appear properly in the App Switcher and can be closed. I am only a speech user though, so any Braille users please feel free to chime in here. Having said all that, one of my favorite features of iOS 15 is the background sound schemes. This inandof itself is worth the upgrade imho, even if one doesn't have anxiety issues. I listened to one of them all night until my alarm went off just a bit ago, and it was wonderful. But as with anything, ymmv and it's totally up to each individual.

No changes here
I've not personally seen any fixes in the two recent double dot releases , which leaves things as they were in the initial 15.0 release.

Don't
There's a wall of bugs and Siri is even less useful. You're best off waiting for the .1 or .2 update.
Speaking of Anxiety...
