Now that we get a new iOS version, how do you rate iOS 15?

Have you regretted updating to iOS 15? Did you love the experience? Or was it just OK? I wish there was a pole option here.

Ios 15 is at it's best stage as of now.

By Curly

There were some bugs in ios 15 that drove me crazy such as the following:
Braille displays randomly freezing and requiring a force restart of the ios device.
Braille display panning commands not working.
Braille displays jumping to the first line of an email message when I insert a line break (which also happened on gmail, which is the app I prefer to use for email).
And as you can tell I use a lot of braille display Lol but I don't experience that many voiceover issues.
So as of now I think IOS is at the best stage that's it's been in a while now.

I will wait to an other iOS update

Hi, I think I will wait to an other iOS update this year, I hope it will be solve next update.
Braille Display is important to me, and from year to year it becomes worse.
I don't understand why apple doesn't doing effort to improve Braille support?
In Hebrew it's horrible.
All I am writing here based on my personal opinion and from using iOS for years.

Pretty Darn Good Over Here

By Ekaj

Hi all. I, too, am very excited to upgrade to iOS 16 but will need a newer iPhone to do so. Having said that, I think iOS 15 is very good. I have not experienced a lot of the bugs that others on here have experienced, and I think I can honestly say that Apple's accessibility folks are hard at work setting the stage for the next version.

Pretty bad

By Bruce Harrell

I didn't "upgrade" from ios 14 to ios 15 until last month. I figured that being the last ios 15 upgrade, ios 15.6.1 would be the best it gets for fixing all the accessibility bugs introduce by ios 15 last September. I was greatly disappointed.

In ios 14, i had all the features I needed, and my iPhone 10s was quick and reliable. The day I "upgraded" to ios 15, however, my phone:
1. became very slow, frequently read strings of nonsense characters forcing me to turn VoiceOver off and back on a dozen times a day;
2. often grew to a crawl, forcing me to reboot my phone altogether; and
3. worse.

I doubt IOS 16 could be worse than ios 15, but I'm feeling pretty skeptical right now.

if you have a old phone time to upgrade

If you are running a iPhone 8 or 10 I would expect it to be slow. Time to upgrade.

I am very excited to see what ios 16 has in store for us! I just hope there aren't that many bugs so I can upgrade—Some of these features that I'm seeing are pretty good! I also trust that there will be fixed bugs in ios 16, like there usually are. There are still a few bugs for me, such as the word Dictate randomly being spoken by VoiceOver and my braille display about five seconds after me opening the home screen, but I don't really mind that, and I'm mostly just glad some of the big braille bugs were fixed.

I have updated to the beta

Hey, I wanted to get the new text to speeches so I was on and off the beta cycles. finally, I have decided to stay on the current beta since we will get a release candidate I think tomorrow. as far as the IOS15 goes, it was good. I also have an iPhone XR and it worked solid and I think it will run for the few years. cheers!

I'm also interested in the…

I'm also interested in the new TTS voices in IOS 16 too. I listened to Thomas Domville's podcast with the voice samples. When I get up there I'll probably go to Zoe, or Joelle or Noel or just stick with Nicky Enhanced like I usually have. by the way, does somebody here no the difference between Joelle and Noel? Just wondering.

In my modest opinion, iOS 15 has been great.

By DrummerGuy

Perhaps I've been very lucky because I have not had any of those really bad issues that some people have reported.
My iPhone 12 promax has been running smoothly.
Very seldom I have had to reset my phone or turn VoiceOver off and on.
I have also been testing iOS 16 public beta and have had very little things to report.
Nevertheless, I know that there have been some bugs that others have encountered, and I am confident that a great number of them will be solved soon.
I think iOS 15 was very nice.
iOS 16 will be even better.
In my case, I won't be using eloquence and that's why I am thankful for the new voices we are getting this year.
Thanks, Apple, for all the options we have.

Today is the Apple event for the new phones. But when does iOS 16 come out?

iPhone 14

Looking forward to iPhone 14 event today. One thing I would like Apple to do is give us new ringtones. I know you can download some from iTunes but I wish they would put some new ones on the new phone.
