Apple will deploy in the coming days a new version of its operating system for iPhone and iPad.Like macOS 12.2, iOS 15.3 will mainly correct a serious security flaw in the Safari browser.

If you use an iPhone or iPad, monitor updates in your device settings.Apple should indeed start to broadcast iOS 15.3, the new version of its operating system.Unlike iOS 15.2, published in December, this new version should not bring great novelties, but just a few small improvements here and there, in the podcast application, for example.

MacOS 15.3: Corrected Safari Safety Failure

In fact, for iOS 15.3, Apple especially tried to correct a very annoying bug of safari.As we explain the researchers of Fingerprintjs at the origin of its discovery, this bug due to a bad implementation of a highly used database (indexeddb) opened a serious security flaw in the browser, allowing websitesconsulted to recover the Google identifier and access the visitor's browsing history, and thereby identify it and follow it.A boring bug for Apple, which always highlights the safety and confidentiality of its users ...

As usual, the release of this update - which should be carried out at the end of January or early February 2022 - will be accompanied by its declination for iPad, iPados 15.2.Even if it is always to wait a bit before taking the plunge, in case new bugs are reported, do not delay installing it if you use Safari to surf the web.As for versions 15.1 and 15.2, iOS 15.3 will be automatically offered for download as soon as it is used, via the Software Update section.So just go to take a look from time to time to find out if it has arrived.Note in passing that the release of iOS 15.3 and iPados 15.3 will be accompanied by an update of the new system for Mac, Monterey.The MacOS 12 version.2 will also correct the Safari bug, without bringing real novelties.

Please note, as is the case since iOS 15.1, once iOS 15.3 Installed, it should no longer be possible to go back to an old version of the system!Apple has indeed deleted this option to block the jailbreaking, a technique which consists in unlocking an iPhone to take a total control of it.A way - a little strong - to avoid uncontrollable drifts and hackers.

What are the new features of iOS 15.2?

iOS 15.2 started to be deployed on December 13 at 7 p.m. - Apple got into the habit of broadcasting its major updates on Monday.This version was not revolutionary.In addition to the major new products already brought by iOS 15 and iOS 15.1 (see below), this update corrects the latest bugs listed in Voiceover, Homekit, Carplay, Calendar, Proraw photos or even streaming on iPhone 13.But she still made some welcome improvements.Here is a list of the main novelties provided.

What are the new features of iOS 15.1?

We had already discovered the main characteristics of iOS 15 during WWDC, the conference of developers, on June 7, 2021 - they are also officially presented on the Apple site.Most were integrated into the first version, the 15.0, outing with the iPhone 13 presented at the end of September.But some were still lacking in the call.A gap filled with version 15.1 deployed since October 25.

Shareplay: Simplified content sharing

It was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated novelties of iOS 15.But who finally arrives with version 15.1.Shareplay - literally shared reading - is a real -time content sharing function.During calls Facetime or FaceTime Audio, a new button allows you to share in real time the screen of an iPhone with a correspondent, to show for example photos, a web page or an application, which is already appreciable, but notfundamentally original.Where Shareplay is distinguished is by the synchronized sharing of audio and video content.During a Conversation Facetime, it is thus possible to listen to music or watch a film or a series with your interlocutors.So, when you launch a piece of music in Apple Music or a video on Appletv+ during a call, iOS offers you to take advantage of it, at the same time.All participants hear and look at the same thing, they can break up in break and, as soon as someone speaks, the volume automatically lowers.In theory, Shareplay can work with all the services that wish, but for the moment, only Apple applications (music, TV+, fitness+) are compatible.We image that Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ or even Spotify will also want to take advantage of this friendly function.

Audio: space sound and lossless

The spatialization of the sound is fashionable - in order to offer an "immersive sound experience" as the marketing specialists and the "communicators" of all stripes say ... Apple does not escape this trend and has integrated the audiospace in its services, products and some of its applications.Provided you have compatible equipment - Airpods Pro or Airpods 3 wireless headphones, for example - and appropriate audio files - like some that Apple Music offers -, it is thus possible to enjoy a real 3D effect, withits sound emanating from different points in space.If space audio was managed as standard, iOS 15.1 Leaves the possibility of deactivating the head tracking function which could be annoying or even embarrassing in certain situations - in transport, in particular.Always in the audio register, iOS 15.1 Activates reading in lossless - a compressed audio format, but without loss and therefore of better quality, like the FLAC - Apple HomePod speakers with their update in 15.1, instead of the AAC 256 kbit/s format to which they were limited.

Photo and video: high -end functions reserved for iPhone 13 and 13 pro

The official presentation of the iPhone 13 and 13 pro during the September 14 keynote allowed Apple to lift the veil on new photo and video functions taking part of the new capacities of the new models.Kinematic mode, for example, allows iPhone 13 to choose the area to develop on its own when you film characters.If the one who is at the front plan looks away, the iPhone will focus on the character or the decor behind him.As in a movie film.An HDR 4 mode will allow you to take photos with a balanced lighting even in the most delicate light situations, with a strong backlight for example.You can also choose photographic styles during photo or video shooting to accentuate details or colors in real time.And on the two iPhone 13 pro, you can take macrophotographs by approaching up to 2 cm from your subject.The iPhone 13 Pro are also the only ones to be able to film in Prore format, very popular with video professionals, even if the details are lacking on the real capacities of the device, as the pro -format is multiple and complex.This format was not available in versions 15.0, 15.0.1 and 15.0.2: He is now present in the 15 update.1.Be careful, pro -proof files are 30 times larger than with the HEVC format!In addition, on the iPhone 13 pro EN 128 GB, the prores is limited to the Full HD definition (1080p) to 30 frames per second, the 4K being only offered for models with more storage.Finally, note that with iOS 15.1, it is possible to deactivate the automatic macro mode on iPhone 13 Pro.

Safari: a new interface for the web browser

Apple's web browser interface has been reworked to make it easier to use with one hand, even on the biggest iPhone.By default, the address bar is now at the bottom of the screen, just above the toolbar.And the virtual keyboard is between the two as soon as you need it to go to a new site.Tab management has also been fully reviewed.When you press the double square button to the right of the toolbar, the different pages open in Safari are clearly arranged in mosaic of miniature views.Still stronger, to go from one tab to another, you don't even need to go through these thumbnails: you just have to place your finger on the address bar and slide laterally to pass from atab to the other.In the same way that you can switch from one application to another by sliding your finger laterally on the lower edge of the screen of your iPhone without button.And for those who open a lot of websites at the same time, the group of tabs function allows you to create collections by theme, for example, to open all the pages of a group at the same time of a simple support on the nameof the group.

On the interface side, Safari also allows websites to change the color of the upper area of the screen (where the time and battery load icon is located).This allows you to personalize the iPhone in the colors of the site that we visit, but it's a bit confusing.An option of the iPhone settings allows you to deactivate this option, as well as to return the address bar at the top of the screen if you prefer.

Messages: content better presented and more easily shared

Message rhymes with sharing.The iPhone messages app still facilitates sharing between you and your correspondents.If, for example, one of them sends you several images in an SMS/iMessage, these are now presented in a fan as a card game that we hold in hand.Just slide your finger laterally on the photos to scroll one after the other to discover them all.And a tap is enough of course to display them in full screen.

Besides the photos, messages automatically recognizes the type of content shared with you (an internet link, a piece of music, a podcast, etc..) and you display them properly in the flow of conversation.But iOS 15 goes further by adding to all the applications concerned (safari, music, podcasts, etc..) a section called shared with you to easily find an element that someone sent you.We understand that, for the moment at least, this function is reserved for the Apple universe.

FaceTime: video calls even with those who do not have an iPhone

When Steve Jobs had announced Facetime for the first time in June 2010, he had assured that technology would be shared, so that the whole world could use Apple's videoconference technology, and not only iPhone, iPad ownersor mac.Unfortunately, this has never happened for low patent management reasons.But iOS 15 bypassing the problem by now allowing to invite correspondents to join you in a Call Facetime from their Internet browser, even from a Windows or Linux PC so.A revolution right?Finally, let's say progress, knowing that Zoom or Teams or ultimately any other Visio solution has allowed it for years ...

Mail: better protect your privacy thanks to the private relay

It is rather on the side of online services than the application itself of management of its emails that you have to look for new products.Provided you use Apple's email service, you can create a different address for each online account for example, to avoid giving them your personal address.As for your personal address, you can configure it to use your own domain name, rather than the traditional "@icloud.com ".

Passwords: an independent and complete manager

Always on the confidentiality side and protection of your privacy, iOS 15 finally incorporates a manager of passwords, compatible with the validation function in two stages.As a reminder, this function allows you to scan a QR code so that the password manager generates a single -use code that changes every thirty seconds.Many sites use this very effective double authentication method of protecting your account.Everything can now be managed from your iPhone and synchronized with your iPad and Mac, via the Trousseau integrated into all Apple systems.To use without moderation.

Concentration: a new mode does not disturb survivorical

The iPhone makes so many services that you use it all the time, and even sometimes too much.In order not to be interrupted without stopping by a call, the arrival of a message or any other notification, iOS already proposed the mode not disturbing which allowed the iPhone to receive all this information, but without alerting you.In iOS 15, the mode does not disturb is replaced by the concentration function, which allows you to program different modes of filtering your notifications according to your activities and moments of the day.You can also ask the iPhone to hand over the notifications to receive them all at a specific time from the day.

Plans: more detailed cards and offbeat routes

As with each new version, the plans application offers increasingly detailed cards, whose level of detail differs according to the places.Which means that you may need to wait before your city is covered.But, for some of them, an ultra precise 3D visualization awaits you.Side detail that changes everything, you can also now request the offbeat calculation of a route, and not only for an immediate departure.Practical to plan the stoppage caps on vacation!

Multiple daily practical tips

In addition to all the major new products mentioned above, iOS 15 also is full of small improvements.We note for example the return, finally, of the selection magnifying glass.Thus, when you put your finger on a text to select a game, a mini-window is displayed above your finger to allow you to see what you do.This essential function had disappeared since iOS 13, we wonder why!

The live text function now allows you to select in the same way of the words included in a photo you have just taken or in any photo of your photo library.The iPhone is indeed responsible for analyzing each image to allow you for example to extract a phone number or the content of a panel that you have just taken in photos.Bluffing!Please note, this function is only available for recent iPhone, that is to say the XS and the following (iPhone 11, 12 and 13).Even if all the standard iPhone applications have been reviewed, we particularly appreciate the new graphic finishes of the weather application.We almost want it to rain just to see the animation of the drops of water on the rest of the interface!

Finally, among the other news from iOS 15.1, let us quote the creation of Homekit Automations according to the temperature of an accessory, the possibility for Siri to states the name of the appellant during a telephone call, the integration of the vaccination book and the health pass in theIOS portfolio and the corrections of a few bugs.

What were the iOS 15 bugs?

Barely a few days after his arrival with a fanfare, on September 20, iOS 15 was already pointed out for his faults.Nothing dramatic, however, at the beginning.Jose Rodriguez, a security researcher, had revealed on Twitter that a critical flaw made it possible to access the notes taken on an iPhone without even having to unlock it, simply passing by SIR.In addition, users had noticed that their connected objects (Mac, keys, etc..) disappeared for no apparent reason from the Localize application.Funner detail, the bug also concerns Airtag, the famous little Apple tags, designed precisely to find lost personal effects ... More annoying, an error message indicating that storage of the device was saturated.untimely on some iPhone and iPad while there was free space.In short, fairly classic youthful defects.

But things have worsened over the days and the list of bugs identified has further lengthened.Thus, users complain that the images of a conversation in messages disappear from their library when they had saved them.In a completely different field, the vocal assistant SIRI comes up against requests related to simple actions, such as sending an email or consulting phone calls.And on the iPhone 13, the new standard smartphone, the touch screen of some models reacts badly with iOS 15 and Carplay plants as soon as you launch music reading with Apple Music or another audio application.Another problem, always on new models with iOS 15: it is not possible to unlock the iPhone from the Apple Watch.Funny: on some iPhone 13, a notification invites to install iOS, generating an endless loop.

In short, a beautiful collection of small failures that have disappointed on the part of Apple, and which have only confirmed a universal advice: never rush on an update!

What is the iOS 15 update correct.1?

To rectify the shooting, Apple has published an emergency a version 15.0.1 for iOS - and for iPados, which suffered from the same problems. Publiée le 1^er octobre, cette mise à jour ne corrigeait toutefois qu'une partie des bugs d'iOS 15.In particular, the one that prevents unlocking an iPhone 13 with the Apple Watch.So much the better for the happy processors of this new smartphone and an Apple connected watch, but they represent only a small proportion of iOS 15 users, which works on many models, even relatively old.On the other hand, the other long -awaited correction concerned the bug indicating that storage is saturated, even when it remains free space.Phew!A relief for all those who saw their storage fill over the days for no apparent reason.

This version was replaced by another update, numbered 15.0.2, published on Monday October 11.According to the details provided by Apple, it corrects five problems: the bug which led to the deletion of photos of the library recorded from the messages application after the deletion of the conversation or the associated message;The bug that made the AirTag invisible in the Localier Application Objects tab;The bug that prevented the carriers with Magsafe from connecting to the Localisation application, the bug which was planting the restoration or updating of the iPhone 13 or the iPad Mini 6 with the Finder or iTunes;And the Carplay bug which could not open audio applications or disconnect during reading.It's always taken!

Since October 25, all these youth problems have been solved with version 15.1.But it is still too early to say if this update is completely free from bugs ...

It is strongly advised to download this update without delay - which still weighs more than 600 MB - to replace iOS 15, iOS 15.0.1 or iOS 15.0.2.The manipulation is carried out, as usual, by opening the adjustments of the device and by going to the software update section (see above for detailed explanations).
