In the early hours of this morning, Apple released the third beta update for the iOS 15.5 system, a week after the last beta.
The system version number for iOS 15.5 Beta 3 is 19F5062g.
According to Apple's updated description, the third beta system of iOS 15.5 mainly includes bug fixes and other optimizations.
In addition, according to foreign media 9to5Mac, in this beta version, Apple modified the algorithm of the recall function in the photo album.
Now, the recall feature no longer automatically includes photos taken at blocked locations, including twelve locations such as Yad Vashem Memorial and Dachau concentration camp, primarily concentration camp memorials during the war.
It can be seen that Apple has recently accelerated the speed of updating the system, and it is expected that the official version of iOS 15.5 will be launched at the latest in early June, that is, before the WWDC Developer Conference.
Although iOS 15.5 Beta 3 has not brought much change, from the internal code in the previous iOS 15.5 beta, Apple will open up third-party payment methods for "reading" apps in the App Store.
This is the first time Apple has opened the App Store as a third-party payment method, and it is also a very significant change for Apple.
In addition, the update of the iOS 15.5 beta also improves the low image quality of the camera that Studio Display has previously exposed.
A firmware update to Studio Display is now available through the macOS 12.4 beta released today to improve the camera's picture quality issues by adjusting contrast and image noise reduction.
Judging from the two contrast charts on the left and right exposed by Twitter users @Jason Snell, the picture quality has indeed improved significantly, and it looks clearer.
However, many users also said that the image quality of the updated camera did not achieve the expected effect.
According to 9to5Mac, this may be a problem with the ultra-wide camera equipped with Studio Display.
Studio Display, equipped with an ultra-wide-angle camera, has a portrait center function, but because the camera does not have optical zoom, the image is digitally cropped to achieve the effect of portrait centering, which causes the image to look less sharp.
While we'll need to wait for more future news to verify the cause of this issue, for now, updating the firmware will slightly improve the Camera Quality issue of studio Displa.
With Studio Display, you can now update the new firmware.
In addition to the system update for iOS 15.5, Apple today also released a new firmware update for AirTag with version number 1A301.
Since Apple has not released support documentation, it is unclear what new changes will be made to the new firmware.
It is worth noting that the firmware upgrade of AirTag is done through the iPhone, and the small partner who wants to upgrade the new firmware only needs to put the AirTag within the communication range of the iPhone and wait for the automatic update.
You can go to find the app, select "Items", click on the name of the AirTag, you can see the firmware version number of the device to determine whether it has been updated to the latest firmware.
According to MacRumors, the firmware update is expected to be pushed gradually, with 1% of users receiving the push today, 10% pushing on May 3, and fully launching on May 13.
