Apple today released iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 beta 5 builds to developers, introducing additional tweaks to the new operating system that’s launching within weeks.
As we get further into the beta testing process, the changes that are introduced are getting smaller as Apple begins to finalize its design plans for the update. Today’s beta focuses on small changes and refinements to iOS and iPadOS 15 features.
In iPadOS 15, today’s beta changes the shading of the tab interface in Safari in an effort to make it more clear which tab is the active tab.
In the Settings app under Home Screen & Dock, there’s now an option on the iPad to use large icons. With the feature enabled, icons take up more space on the screen so there’s less empty area, and it’s also easier to tap on the app icon that you need.
When turning off the iPhone, there’s now a tappable warning that the iPhone will remain findable after it’s turned off. If you tap on it, there’s an option to “Temporarily Turn Off Finding.”

One step Closer to a Core builtin Surveillance Spyware !!! thats whats new!
I don’t need refinements just safety and Apple’s not providing that to users with the previously announced back door access to iPhones, or is that ALL iOS devices.
Just for the record in Australia the government legislated that ISPs had to provide data on all users. The federal government said it was for major crimes like terrorism. Then it spread to pedophiles (not just the child pornographic networks). Next the government then tried to criminalise illegal downloads and bring it under this legislation and it as then that the Australian senate jacked up against the spread of the legislation. Trust me, I’m not some libertarian screaming about individual liberties, masks and so on. I actually believe in some government regulations.
Just for the record this is the same government that prosecuted a former intelligence officer that blew the lid on the bugging of negotiations between Australian and Timor Leste (East Timor) over oil and gas field revenue.
Not content with that they also prosecuted his lawyer as well and the prosecution of the former was held in private (i.e. complete secrecy).
Next was the raiding of a journalist’s home on Government plans to grant the Australian Signals Directorate powers to spy on Australian citizens. The Australian Federal Police wisely decided not to prosecute. Just chill the media with the potential to prosecute (harassment is less messy than legislation).
I could give more examples but the bottom line is that you cannot trust governments to do the right thing without specific legislation, a bill of rights or from constitutional protection and preferably all three.
The bottom line is that you cannot trust governments and any business that wants to play “footsy” with them can’t be trusted either.
I hope apple has added an analog clock option with second hand in the Lock Screen.
