For Mac owners who use their machine for important work, I recommend waiting for a few days to install the macOS Monterey update. Unlike iOS and iPadOS updates, macOS updates can take an hour or so to install, and they come with their own set of issues. Thus, it is better to wait for a few weeks to ensure everything is okay with the update before installing it on your machine.
As for iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1, it will introduce SharePlay — a key iOS 15 feature that was missing from the initial release of the OS. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max users can also start recording videos in ProRes after installing the iOS 15.1 update. The update will also add an Auto Macro toggle that you can use to disable the iPhone 13 Pro from automatically switching to the ultra-wide camera when you come close to a subject.
