The RC had a lot of bugs and was unusable for some users on r/iOSBeta. The actual release is indeed two builds newer (19A346) so hopefully they've fixed these issues.

Edit: looks like it's only available for people seeking it out[0]. Maybe they won't auto-update till 15.0.1?

For anyone wondering, this was supposed to be the release where Apple could scan your photos for child abuse. This was delayed for this release: https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-delays-child-abuse-phot...

I definitely do not care but some comments are just better not posted.

Apple Maps is so close to being a fantastic app, but is sorely missing “search along route” that Google has. Right now, you can press the “coffee” or “gas” button but there’s no way to say, search for a CVS on the way back home from work. I really wish Apple added this instead of just suggesting searches that might be useful.

I was mostly excited about the "select text in images" feature. You can easily copy/paste text from any image. Really cool feature and just built into the OS now.

Is apple’s photo search any less terrible now?

Dunno if anyone else suffers this? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Finding a years-old photo to upload is TERRIBLE. It's trivial to do in Google Photos, but then getting a handle on the photo when using the "photo selector" widget to upload it to Twitter or an existing email is horrible.

I do this workflow dozens of times per week and the best I can come up with is:

1. text search Apple photos in the upload widget and be disappointed

2. text search Google photos and instantly find the image I want

3. "Delete from device"

4. "Download to device" (which puts it at the very front of the list)

5. Go back to Safari, finish composing Tweet, add photo, pick newest photo.
