Can someone help - somehow with the iOS 15 - when watching videos the buttons to skip ahead etc. were on the bottom so when skipping ahead they wouldn’t obscure the picture, now they’re dead in the middle?

#32I usually wait until the '.1' update. There are always some fixes that need to occur with the first rollout and they do a pretty good job of fixing those in the first update.
I thought that Microsoft patented that behaviour. /s "If it compiles, ship it and let the users test it".
Apple tends to do that to their third-party developers more so than their users.

#33Have been using it since the developer betas were first released. Multistop routing for Maps should have not taken so long to be added, Family Album is nice, Dictation is a lot better, 'Copy subject' is an awesome addition to the native image viewing, new lock screen is pretty nice and while I don't care for medication tracking, my mom surely will.
Why are maps part of the OS? don't they get upgrades as an app?

#34Upgraded this morning. No surprises or crashes etc.
The lockscreen features left me cold. Keyboard haptic feedback is great.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic. I assume most people on HN do eventually update their iDevices, but the rest of the post seems possibly tongue-in-cheek. If you aren't being sarcastic and have upgraded, please do share your thoughts on stability and new features, since that's what this community is for!
according to my experience it is true for most iOS users, but definitely not for Macintosh users.
I am always on the latest IOS but 2 major releases behind on macOS due to dependencies on critical applications. I think that's fairly typical for production machines.

Which new features are you looking forward to? I expect to be asked by family members whether to upgrade and at this point I can't really recommend it. The new lock screen stuff will just be confusing for my parents (to whom I provide tech support), and I'm not aware of any amazing new features that would make life noticeably better for people in their (or even my) demographic. I watched the WWDC keynote several mont…
I will certainly not like the new lock screen stuff but looking forward to editing in iMessage and multiple stops in Maps. Nothing special, but lockdown mode seems interesting. The revoke mail feature seems useless, technical this means that the mail is send some time later, and in this time frame it is possible to revoke? (bringing more delay into delivery)
The revoke mail feature has been a feature in gmail for 10+ years (though it probably was a “labs” feature at first). “Undo send”. And there, yeah, it’s just a configurable delay - I use 15s. I’ve used it (and been thankful for it) many times
