Apple iOS 15 is now available for download
CNN
Apple's latest major software update -- packed with features to help people better focus, connect with others on FaceTime and keep track of medical records, including vaccine status and test results -- is now available for download.
Although it's not a massive design overhaul, many of changes coming to iOS 15 reflect how our needs have changed during the pandemic. Apple first showed off the new tools in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference and referenced some of them on stage during last week's iPhone 13 launch event.
Among the biggest updates for iPhone and iPad users can be found in FaceTime, a fitting nod to how much time we've spent on video calls over the last 18 months. FaceTime Group mode now supports a grid view that allows people to see more faces at the same time and lets users listen to music or watch Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+ and stream other services together during a call. Android and Windows users can join in now, too.
