After months of waiting, iOS 15 is already beginning to reach compatible iPhones. The new version of Apple's operating system includes important changes. Among them, improvements in FaceTime, the possibility of extracting text from images or a complete redesign in Safari. However, some of the most anticipated functions , such as the new privacy settings or the feature that allows you to control the iPad with the Mac, will come later.
SharePlay is one of the most notable functions of iOS 15. This novelty, let us remember, allows users to share the reproduction of music, series and movies, simultaneously and through FaceTime. Although the feature was available in the first betas, the company announced that it was going to be deactivated and that it will be available in a future update.
Users will have to wait to be able to include custom domains in an iCloud account, a feature that will come thanks to iCloud +. The privacy report , which will allow you to see in detail what permissions the applications use and when they were used for the last time, will also be available later. The same is the case with 3D navigation via CarPlay . This novelty will not only be available in a limited number of cities, but will probably be activated in a future iOS 15 update.
During WWDC's inaugural Keynote, Apple announced a feature called “ Legacy Contacts “. This feature allows some contacts to access an Apple ID of a deceased person to obtain the content stored in the account. Although the first betas showed this functionality, the company ended up deactivating it to announce that it will arrive in a future update.
iOS 15 features related to AirPods coming later

AirPods can be located using the “Search” app, but only if the iPhone is within reach. Being part of the “Find My” network, the headphones will be able to connect privately to other devices to send the location to the owner so that they can be easily found, even if the iPhone is not connected to the headphones.
The latest information about this feature comes from Apple's website, which has been updated detailing that this feature will be available “this fall” . It suggests, therefore, that it will not arrive with the initial version of iOS 15.
The Spatial Audio in Apple Music with Dynamic Head Tracking will also be available later. This function is used to listen to music with a more immersive sound, similar to that achieved when watching series and movies on platforms such as Netflix, Disney + or Apple TV Plus and when the user is wearing AirPods Pro or AirPods Max. Apple also confirmed that the feature would arrive in the fall.
Some features for the iPad and iPhone 13 Pro will have to wait

Probably until Apple announces macOS Monterey, a version of the operating system that does not yet have an official release date.
The company also plans to include some exclusive functions for the iPhone 13 Pro that will be available through a future software update of iOS 15. One of them is the support for video in ProRes , format of video than image quality and will offer smoother editing.
