Recently, iOS 15 has been showing strange behavior with the Music app: if you uninstall it and then reinstall it on the iPhone, it automatically goes to the Dock, regardless of whether there are other apps there already or not. This error no longer occurs in iOS 15.6.
When will the final version of iOS 15.6 arrive?
iOS 15.6 can be compared to iOS 14.7 from last year. Last year’s version appeared in the first beta on May 19, almost exactly the same as iOS 15.6 Beta 1. After six rounds of beta, Apple released iOS 14.7 on July 19, 2021. Therefore, it is very likely that iOS 15.6 is released in the third decade of July.
