Following the release of iOS 15.6 last Wednesday, Apple has ceased signing iOS 15.5, the previous version that was available in mid-May.

[{"selector":"#anim-837bd1ff-4575-4f0c-9663-ff4869a67192 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Since iOS 15.5 is no longer being signed, it is not possible to downgrade to that version of iOS after installing iOS 15.6.

[{"selector":"#anim-28017dee-81e8-4023-ba6a-195460abbb8a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3cb9f1cc-eb12-4fb5-9900-9649b2954f9b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple routinely stops signing older versions of software updates after new releases come out in order to encourage customers to keep their operating systems up to date–

iOS 15.5 was a relatively small-scale update, with improvements to Apple Cash in the Wallet app and a new setting that lets Podcasts users limit the number of episodes stored

[{"selector":"#anim-2b7f976f-86fa-4832-948d-8a117650869f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It also addressed some small bugs, including an issue that could cause the Settings app to continue to display that device storage is full even when it's not.

[{"selector":"#anim-e5725b6c-9370-48bf-88af-828db77f23d0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-6.959740597116355%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This upgrade is rather small, as Apple's iOS 15.6 release notes show. Given that this version's timeline is coming to an end, this is completely expected.

[{"selector":"#anim-462eeeb5-1c2d-4d7d-9b35-b909bf2b9c0b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Sports fans who use the Apple TV app to watch games could find the extra playback control choices useful. Other than that, iOS 15.6 doesn't offer much cause for excitement.

[{"selector":"#anim-68f8999a-de46-42de-9550-a9e98e1487f5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Installing the iOS 16 beta may be a good idea if you're hoping for significant improvements. However, it is currently not very stable.

[{"selector":"#anim-107566db-1d6f-4f7a-8451-bcd96a813c4c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
