iOS 15.6 RC version now available with bug fixes and TV app feature for live sports

Apple is seeding iOS 15.6 RC version today to developers and public beta testers. A week after releasing the fifth beta of this operating system, the company is almost ready to make it available to all users. Here’s what’s new with this update.

After longs weeks of testing without any information about this update, Apple now said what’s changing with iOS 15.6:

  • TV app adds the option to restart a live sports game already in progress and pause, rewind, or fast-forward;
  • Fixes an issue where Settings may continue to display that device storage is full even if it is available;
  • Fixes an issue that may cause braille devices to slow down or stop responding when navigating text in Mail;
  • Fixes an issue in Safari where a tab may revert to a previous page.

In addition to that, 9to5Mac recently reported a bug on Apple Books on iOS 15.5 that Apple is also fixing with iOS 15.6.

Today’s build is 19G69. Apple is also releasing the RC versions of macOS 12.5, iPadOS 15.6, watchOS 8.7, and tvOS 15.6.

As Apple started previewing iOS 16iPadOS 16macOS 13 VenturawatchOS 9, and tvOS 16 in June, people’s focus is on these new operating systems, expected to launch later this fall and that are now available to public beta testers as well.

Apple is bringing continuity features across these systems. iOS 16 has a new Lock Screen, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura bring new multitasking capabilities, watchOS 9 is revamping Watch Faces, and tvOS 16 was nearly forgotten by Apple.
