On Monday Apple released the 15.4 OSes for various devices.

tvOS 15.4 seems stable. Warning, it takes a long time to install and reboots the ATV about three times in the process, so be patient with it. I suggest waiting until the interface reappears before touching the remote. Apple added the ability to use the ATV in hotels and similar places, and added a few other things, so this is a relatively large update and takes a while to complete.

iOS 15.4 seem stable and okay.

iPadOS 15.4 is more stable than 15.3.x, and some annoying bugs have been squashed. I don't know what Apple called it, but there was an annoying bar that appeared across the bottom of the screen when a keyboard should have appeared. You had to tap the keyboard icon on it and at least one or two other steps to get the keyboard to appear. You could not seem to disable this option in 15.3.1, but it appears to be fixed now in 15.4. I'm appalled that the current Apple development staff seems to favor adding three or four steps to accomplish things when in the past only one step was required. But at least they corrected this one. Not sure if they corrected the disappearing bookmark location though. I get tired of having to drill down through bookmarks to get back to where I was.
