If you wanted to stick around and use iOS 14 when iOS 15 comes out, you'd still get critical security updates on your device. Apple updated its software page, saying it'll give users an option to delay upgrading to iOS 15. The company did emphasize that the iOS 15 will get the "most complete set of security updates," while iOS 14 will get "important security updates."

The move can help users who need time to upgrade if they have device restrictions or requirements of iOS devices that organizations like schools and enterprises manage. First iOS 15 developer builds are now available for download, with the public beta expected to roll out sometime in July and then the public release in the fall.

YouTube tests floating comments on Android when watching in landscape

YouTube is trying out a new way to display comments even when you're watching in landscape on your Android phone. Usually, comments disappear when you watch clips in landscape, except when you're tuning in to a live stream. Now, YouTube is testing out a floating comment box that some Android users have spotted. What it does to the video is shrink it down a bit to accommodate the comment box on the left. It does seem like an intelligent way to be able to see comments while watching videos.
