iOS 15.5/ iPadOS 15.5 Beta update content
Apple released the first beta for iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 for developers after a three-week wait following the launch of iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4. New updates are not as rich features as previous updates and are more focused on changes under the hood, but there are still a few tweaks, which we mentioned below.
Apple Classic Reference
[ruby_related heading=”More Read” total=”4″ layout=”1″]
There’s a mention of the upcoming “Apple Classical” app Apple is working on to complement Apple Music, suggesting that a standalone app could be coming soon. In the music app code, there are “opens in apple classical” and “opens in new app designed for classical music”, but the classical app is not yet available.
Apple acquired the classical music streaming service Primephonic as early as August 2021, and said it would create a new classical music experience for Apple Music. Apple is planning a new standalone app dedicated to classical music that will combine Primephonic’s user interface and classical music expertise with features like Apple Music and lossless and spatial audio. Apple hasn’t provided details on what the app might appear on, but it’s apparently working on it.
Apple Pay Cash
In the Apple Pay Cash section of the Wallet app, there are now “Request” and “Send” buttons, making it easier to manage Cash directly from Wallet.
According to reports, the Apple Cash card in the Wallet app can be used with Apple Pay to pay in stores, in apps and online. Money from your Apple Cash account can also be transferred to a bank account. In addition to money received from other users, money from a debit or stored value card in the Wallet app can also be added to your Apple Cash account.
Universal Control
According to Apple’s macOS release notes, Universal Controls in the new iPadOS 15.5 and macOS Monterey 12.4 updates are not compatible with devices running macOS 12.3 or iPadOS 15.4, so Apple recommends that, as a workaround, users should update their Universal Controls devices to the new beta version.
SportsKit Update
Apple is continuing to build out its “SportsKit” support as it prepares to launch “friday night baseball,” with a TV app mentioning reporting scores for different baseball innings.
iTunes Pass rebranding
Apple is apparently working on rebranding “iTunes Pass” in the wallet, renaming it “Apple Balance.”
There used to be an option to add an “iTunes Pass” to the wallet app, which included funds associated with the user’s Apple ID. In the US, Apple appears to have removed the option to add iTunes Pass, but it still exists in other countries. There may be a new Apple Balance option in the wallet app in the future.
“Your account balance can be used to purchase products, accessories, apps, games, and more with Apple Pay online or in-store,” the code reads.
