iOS 15.5 Beta3 baseband upgrade, better signal?

This morning, Apple pushed the iOS 15.5 Beta3 update to the developer preview version users. It was only 7 days away from the last Beta2 update. Users who have already installed the description file of the iOS 15 beta version can directly open Settings-General-Software Update to upgrade to the latest iOS 15.5 beta version online OTA.

The size of this update package is about 650M, and the updated version number is (19F5062g). According to Apple’s official update instructions, the iOS 15.5 Beta2 test version is still mainly focused on fixing bugs and optimizing the system.

Since the release of iOS 15.5, there have been very few updates, and this iOS 15.5 Beta 3 does not bring any significant functional updates. If there is one thing to mention, it is the baseband firmware version upgrade, which has been updated from 1.60.00 to 1.61.00 for some models and from 2.52.02 to 2.54.02 for iPhone 12Pro Max.

As for whether the signal has improved, that is a mystery. Some people think it is better, while others think it is worse. But as far as my personal experience is concerned, I feel no difference. Some users also said that after the upgrade, iOS 15.5 Beta3 also made it faster to unlock the iPhone while wearing a mask.

In addition, iOS 15.5 Beta3 adds a "block location" feature to the system photo album, which is automatically blocked by Apple. However, not all locations are blocked, but mainly some sensitive locations, mostly concentration camps during the war, including 12 locations such as the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, Schindler's Factory, and Belzec Extermination Camp.

Each location is assigned a latitude, longitude and radius, and users can take photos at the above locations, but the location information of these photos will not appear in Memories.

As for the camera screen flashing bug that existed in the official version of iOS 15.4.1, it has not been fixed yet. Some users have reported that after upgrading to the official version of iOS 15.4.1, the screen flashes when the camera is just turned on. The editor tested it and it is indeed true. But fortunately, it only flashes when it is just turned on, and there is no problem with normal use.

As iOS 16 is already on the agenda, it is expected that iOS 15.5 will be the last major version update of the iOS 15 system. Subsequent iOS 15 system updates will not have any major new features added, but will be more based on the current iOS 15 system. Patching up the system.
