hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.2 developer
beta 2 - this is available to developers and either bet public beta testers later
today or tomorrow normally it came in at three hundred and seventy four point
four megabytes on my iPhone XS Max let's take a look at the build number
now you can see the build is sixteen e five one nine one D and this particular
build actually does have a couple new features the first one being the actual
battery percentage is on the lock screen now so if you go to the lock screen
you'll see there's a battery percentage if we take a look at the previous build
you'll see there's no battery percentage there so there's a battery percentage on
the lock screen now then that part's really nice now there are a couple new
things such as an emoji so we'll talk about battery life and things like that
in a moment but let's talk about the features first so let's go into an emoji
now you can see there's four new an emoji we have a draft we have a shark we
have an owl and then we have a pig or a warthog so I think I kind of like the
shark so that's pretty neat we have four new ones so that's always nice to get
those added to the X the XS, XS Max and XR. so it appears they fixed group
FaceTime let me go into FaceTime and I'll add a call and I'll show you that
it works at least on beta 2 now I'm in the video color you can see it here and
on my iPad and now if I slide up I can add a person so now I can add myself
will add and you'll see it creates a group FaceTime call so we'll wait for
this and it should work and then it drops so maybe they haven't turned it on
on the server side but they've at least fixed it in the OS now something else
they've changed is in the control center so you can see right here we have a more
uniform airplay icon that's kind of all throughout now if we take a look at the
previous version you'll see here this is what it looked like before
so the actual previous version was a little bit different they've changed it
up quite a bit so that's nice to see them kind of make things more uniform
across the OS now the actual notes of the beta don't say really anything new
except that photo sharing using sharing suggestions might not load so if you go
into your photos and you share a photo from say CES here or something it may
not load properly seems to be working okay for me but for some users that may
be now the next thing is they've added a
new feature for Safari and that's to limit accelerate accelerometer and
gyroscope access in Safari so let me show you how that works we'll go to
settings and then if you go down to Safari here under Safari under security
you'll see motion and orientation access limitations so what we can do to show
you how that works is we'll go to a website now I'm at a website where you
can see there's a bunch of different balls in there of different shape and
color if I double tap you'll see different ones fall and they can be
motion based so if I tilt here and what this does is turns off that access so if
I turn it to this go back reload the page it should no longer allow me to do
that it won't pick up the motion or exit or the accelerometer or gyroscope built
into the iPhone so that's something that they've changed for privacy and security
reasons maybe it was a background bug or something like that now there's a new
hint for air pods too and that was pretty interesting because that was
found in a hidden place for setting up Siri when you're using the key word and
so it talks about new air pods that will allow you to use the keyword phrase to
actually activate it so it seems like those are coming out probably by the
time iOS 12.2 is released now battery life on
iOS 12.2 beta one was about the same as iOS twelve point one point three it was
not phenomenal you'll see I have a hundred percent capacity and yesterday
if we go to the last ten days I was at 20% at four hours and 16 minutes I'm a
virgin between four and six hours of screen on time with these betas
hopefully beta two is better but it takes a few days to know that for sure
so be sure to check back for the follow-up on that
now the actual speed of the OS seems to be nice and fluid and fast I did notice
that in some scrolling it seemed to be a little bit smoother for some reason I
don't know why why it feels that way but it does and overall it seems to be fine
so that part's good but it will take a few days to know if it's a little bit
better but that sort of contradicts what I found in Geekbench so let me show you
those scores now I ran it twice I ran it right after I updated then a little bit
later and I didn't see much of an improvement it probably will take a
couple days until we see that we see single pore was 4780 multicore
was 10863 so it's okay it's not as great as before if we take a look at the
history you'll see that it is not as good as it was before now that's pretty
much it for this particular beta other than maybe a modem change that's built
into the OS that they've changed the modem and we might see an update with
LTE and Wi-Fi now I haven't had any problems since this beta or anything on
LTE or Wi-Fi on any of my devices but I know a lot of you have and they've
commented that it's a big problem for you so I'd love to hear how it's going
for you after you've updated and used it for a few days I'd love to see that for
the follow-up and we can try and see if it's a little bit better on the older
devices I haven't really seen much of a difference or anything it seems about
the same scrolling is the same on the older devices you're not going to see
massive increases in speed or anything but they seem to be about the same and
again battery life on all of these should be pretty good compared to the
previous beta but that doesn't mean it's as good as say twelve point one point
two was for some people so for a lot of people it may be improved but we won't
know that for a few days but let me know what you think about it in the comments
