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?

"iOS may now offer a choice between two software update versions in the Settings app. You can update to the latest version of iOS 15 as soon as it’s released for the latest features and most complete set of security updates. Or continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates."

Interesting that they say “may” offer a choice. My phone does seem to offer the choice, while my iPad apparently doesn’t and only shows 15.

Just checked my iPad and see an option for both. https://i.imgur.com/xy0zf0U.png

iPadOS has a separate release schedule

I was on the beta profile, received the RC last week, removed the profile straight after, and now received iOS 15 (19A346). It's possible it's only available on the stable release profile.

E: Ah, you're talking about from 14.8

A big red flag that this is buried in Software Update... I would wait until the next point release if you value stability over everything else for your primary device.

I was running the betas for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS since they were released. The iOS and iPadOS betas were buggy, but I expected some problems.

Looks like it was available via beta.icloud.com (With an iCloud+ subscription):

Thanks, I set up my custom doma8n a few hours ago. Very cool new iCloud+ feature.

Firefox would crash every 10 odd pages for me. Hopefully they've fixed it.
