On October 26, Apple pushed iOS/iPad OS 15.1, build number 19B74. This is the first major update since the release of iOS 15, and the first purchase of the iPhone 13 series but encountered various bugs can be updated immediately. It is worth mentioning that only Apple devices running the latest systems such as iOS 15.1 support the recently released AirPods 3.
It is understood that the "simultaneous broadcast sharing" function returned in this official version. As mentioned before, this is a FaceTime-based call sharing feature that allows users to chat with other Apple friends while sharing videos, music, albums, and other content that is playing. At the same time, intelligent volume functions are added, such as when talking to friends, the system will automatically reduce the volume of the playback content.
Apple wallet also added the new crown vaccination card, but this seems to have no use in the country, if replaced by a health code, with the quick call out wallet this operation should be very popular with domestic users, especially in and out of large shopping malls, stations and other public places will be much more convenient.
In the official version of iOS 15.1, the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max can finally be used to shoot ProRes videos. ProRes is a professional video encoding format proposed by Apple, to put it simply, it is similar to the LOG mode in the micro single camera, and the video shot with this encoding format has a super high dynamic range, which is more convenient for users to perform LUT or color grading processing.
Xiao Lei feels that this ProRes, like the movie model, is some of the "dessert functions" that Apple uses to please video workers, and for ordinary users, it may be used once or twice to return the price of the iPhone 13 Pro series. Since ProRes holds a lot of data, it is also a huge challenge for the phone's memory.
In addition, Apple has finally added the option to turn off the automatic switching of lenses, users can finally choose the right to choose lenses in their own hands, I hope that those Android mobile phones that rely on algorithmic random cutting of lenses can also learn to add a switch.
As we all know, the first iOS 15 official version of the iPhone 13 series has bugs that affect the user experience, although Apple did not mention too many bug fixes, but there should be a relatively large improvement in the 15.1 official version. In addition, Apple has also optimized the battery health algorithm for models such as the iPhone 12. Some small partners said that after the update, the battery health is worse.
In fact, most of the updates of the official version of iOS 15.1 are bug fixes, and the new ProRes and other functions are generally not high in domestic use, and even some are not applicable, such as the new crown vaccination card, Xiao Lei hopes that the new features of iOS can do more localization adaptation, so that domestic users can also use it better.
