Apple hosted its annual September event last night but while we got new iPhone 13, Watch Series 7 and iPad announcements, the company completely left out any news about the iOS 15 release date. Usually, this announcement arrives right at the end of the show and the OS goes live right after it closes. However, this year is a bit different and it seems as if Apple may have suffered a few delays getting the software out in time. The company has announced that iOS 15 will be available starting on 20 September alongside WatchOS 8 and iPadOS 15.
If you are an iOS 15 beta tester, you can now download the final release client for the software across your supported devices. This RC build acts as the final version of the new operating system and represents the experience all users will have when iOS 15 goes live next week.

Apple has also announced that iOS 15 will ship with a lot of missing features which they originally announced back in June. The company isn’t ready to release SharePlay, the ability to share video and audio live across FaceTime calls. SharePlay will go live sometime later this year.
