Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Preserved release-note evidence

The reader-facing archive identifies the retained source document as “iOS & iPadOS 15 Beta 6 Release Notes.” This iPadOS overlay selects 4 substantive records from the 242-record Beta 6 state.[1]

How this milestone is isolated

This route selects only issue records that Apple's preserved document explicitly labels as new or resolved in Beta 6. A later cumulative snapshot is used only when its section heading names this exact beta.[2][3]

Platform scope

Items expressly limited to iPhone, Phone, CarPlay, Health, Workout, or iOS-only browser behavior are excluded. Shared framework behavior and explicitly iPad or iPadOS changes are retained.[4][5][6][7]

Editorial boundary

The page uses original synthesis and issue-ID locators. It does not reproduce Apple's list prose, infer a build number, project generic cumulative notes into a beta, or treat TestFlight and release identity as user-facing changes. Apple's beta guidance describes these seeds as prerelease software.[8][9]
