Apple has not mentioned any new features added with this update. It has only stated that there will be bug fixes and security updates. So, this RC will be without any feature updates. That means we will have to wait for more for the long-awaited Universal Control feature. It was announced at WWDC in June 2021. The bug fix will mostly include the Safari 15 vulnerability which was leaking the browsing activity to open websites.
It’s not the case that you cannot provide feedback if you find any bugs. You can easily provide feedback by filling out the feedback form. And, if you do not like the update you can also switch back to the previous version as it is a candidate release. Apple releases the candidate version only when the stable release is very close to being available. You can expect the stable release of iOS 15.3 to come by Tuesday (next week).
