This story is part of Apple Event, our full coverage of the latest news from Apple.

Apple’s iOS 15 is likely about to leave beta and get sent out to as many iPhone models as possible. The wide release of iOS 15 will likely get revealed as part of Apple’s Sept. 14 event, in which a rumored iPhone 13 and Apple Watch Series 7 may also appear. If you simply cannot wait, iOS 15 is now available as a public beta (here’s how to download iOS 15), but at this point you should probably just wait until the stable release shows up.

iOS 15 includes new features like the ability to start FaceTime calls with Android users, easier sharing on iMessage and updates to Apple Maps. In terms of privacy-focused improvements, iOS 15 expands on-device processing to further limit the potential circulation of your data, and gives you more information about what data third-party apps are collecting from your Apple devices. 

Want to know if you’ll be able to download iOS 15 on your iPhone once it’s generally available? Here are all of the supported devices (below).
