hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released iOS 17.5 to the public iOS 17.5
is out around the world at the same time for everyone on all iOS 17 supported devices with
new features changes and updates now as far as the overall size well this will vary greatly
depending on which version you're installing from but it could be anywhere from about a gigabyte or
so all the way up to 6.51 gbt depending on the version you're installing from if it is 6.51
gbt it's just reinstalling everything along with this apple also released iPad OS 17.5 watch OS
10.5 along with other updates that you can see here so lots of different updates today and of
course you can update all of your devices at the same time now we do have a new modem update with
this update so that should help with overall connectivity if you're coming from iOS 17.4.55
tab you'll see at the top we have puzzles and we have an all new puzzle here called quartiles so
if you want to play this you can play it and you can also see leaderboards in the upper right with
the menu we have rankings so you can view rankings or leaderboards playing against friends or family
and you also have an option to disable this if you want to as far as Game Center goes if we go back
to our settings within settings if we scroll down to news find news and once you're in news you'll
see you have a new option for news plus puzzles we can turn off game center or turn it on but you'll
see it says send your results to game center to see how you rank among friends and other solvers
on today's puzzles we also have a new news plus offline mode right above the news plus puzzles or
Game Center update you'll see news plus offline mode where you can have automatic downloads you
have some download options for things such as recent stories save stories magazine issues
puzzles audio stories and then you can optimize your storage as well so some nice updates there
there or you can just automatically download the content that you look at regularly we also
have a new wallpaper in this update so if we go to our wallpapers here press and hold
within wallpaper if we scroll down you'll see new Pride wallpapers you'll see there's a few
different variants of this and if we go into one they actually have a really nice animation
that's a little bit different so we'll just go ahead and add that so I can show you hit done
go to this wallpaper and if we scroll home you'll see a nice animation it changes every single time
time so again if we scroll back swipe up sort of changes around I would love to see this added to
many more wallpaper these animations are really nice and again I'd like to see them added to a
many different wallpapers as well it's similar to live wallpapers we just haven't seen for a
while another feature that's great if you're in the European Union is developers can now
let you install apps from websites and not just third-party app stores so they can
opt to do that where you could install it via Safari or something else and install it Direct
ly on your iPhone it does have to be checked with apple and that should help with overall security
but that's available only in the European Union iPad OS is also seen as a gatekeeper operating
system now which means it will gain side loading in the near future however it doesn't appear to
be in this update just yet so that's something coming very soon in the European Union now if
we go over to find my there's a change there that they've added within devices you may have
already noticed there's a new symbol here if I go and maybe delete a device or try and delete
it there's a new repair mode where it says cannot remove iPhone prepare this device for repair and
it says this iPhone is linked to your Apple ID and cannot be removed while it's online but you
can still prepare it for repair after you've done this you can continue to use it however
it doesn't seem like there's any way to get out of this repair mode maybe Apple has to do it or
reset it or maybe they'll fix that in an upcoming update but I just wanted to share that that it is
an option now where you can continue to use it but put it into repair mode so you don't have
to fully wipe the device or remove it from find my while it's being repaired if we swipe over a
couple Pages Apple has updated the podcast widget if you'll see it here we press play
it will now change to match the album artwork of the podcast that's playing if we go in and maybe
select a different one select the waveform podcast swipe home you'll see it's now red
so that's a nice little update something we had in previous iOS 17.4 betas that they've
now made live in iOS 17.5 also to go along with podcast they've updated something here specific
specifically in Spotlight search if we scroll down go into our search and then type podcasts
it will now bring up the most recently played podcast so it's just a nice little update not a
huge one but at least it shows what you've been playing and then if you want to go directly to
those you can start playing them if you'd like to so it brings it down through the dynamic Island
Again a nice little touch for podcasts so we'll go back in close that out and then we have an
update for the weather widget so you may have already noticed this if we compare it to iOS
17.4.1 it's a small update but they've changed some of the size I actually prefer it on 17.5
top of the books app if we go into settings within settings if we scroll down and go to privacy and
security scroll down again we have pass Keys access for web browsers Apple has now added an
icon here where we didn't have one before so it's a small update but something they've changed in
this update Apple's also said that there's Now crossplatform tracking that means if you have
a third-party tracker nearby so whether that's an air tag or maybe a thirdparty version it will
now alert you as to that being nearby you if you don't own it just like it will with an air tag or
another device such as airpods that are nearby that don't belong to you so it's a nice little
update just to include more devices that aren't necessarily Apple devices if we go into messages
Apple has updated the behavior of emoji when you search for the word Jerusalem so if you search
for the city there's no results there before it showed a flag in different areas now it shows
nothing when you're searching for that Apple has added a new feature that they call a new
Apple Universal link for eim install so there's a universal link listed here should help developers
add maybe eims to their different apps or just make it easier for maybe a carrier in their app
to add it directly to your device so they've added that option for developers we probably won't see
that at least right away maybe in the future it'll just be a little bit easier to add an eim we also
have an update for the new Beats Pill that's being released there's a new Beats Pill portable speaker
and there's a new animation for it that was shared by aaronp613 on xer Twitter this is the animation
in iOS 17.5 and if you have one of these new Beats Pill speakers you'll see that once you connect it
to the device with iPad OS 17.5 Apple has added new code to allow for the new iPad Pro and iPad
Air models along with the brand new apple pencil Pro so they've included all of that information so
those devices will work with iPad OS 17.5 there's updates with battery that they've included with
this update and in battery on the new iPad iPad Air and iPad Pro we should see a cycle count
or at least battery health the code is there but again they haven't brought it to the current iPads
it looks like they're doing the same thing they did with iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 where the newest
phones got the update to show us battery cycle count and more battery health information it
looks like we're gaining that on the iPad but as soon as it's released of course I'll check
that out for myself and share it with you now all of the major features are being saved for iOS 18
of course that's coming on June at least for the first betas so we should see that with June 10th
or so right after the keynote and then see all of the new features there so don't expect any
major updates until then but we do have some bug fixes and release notes that I've talked about a
little bit already with those new features but the bug fixes specifically Apple hasn't said so
if we go back into photos here with the screenshot of the update it just says that there's bug fixes
and security updates I wish they would give more details but one bug fix whether or not we know
for sure is we have an issue with the clock where the alarms don't work properly Apple is aware of
this they said they'd resolve this in a future update hopefully it's resolved in this update
it hasn't been an issue for me for the past couple of versions as far as a beta tester hopefully it's
resolved here and if I hear officially from Apple I'll be sure to share that with you within the
notes there's no known bugs that are listed but we do have some issues such as the wallpaper dimming
bug where it desaturates it doesn't seem to happen all the time and it looks like it's fixed on this
wallpaper but sometimes you'll set a wallpaper and it will still do it hopefully they fix that
we also still have the standby bug if I bring in this anchor charger place my phone on it lock the
phone give it just a second let it go into standby mode once we're in standby we can swipe through
our different clocks and once we've edited it a single time we can no longer edit again so I
can't edit this by pressing and holding if you tap on it there's no options it just doesn't
do anything I've reported it in the feedback app hopefully we see this fixed very soon but if it's
working now for you I'd love to hear from you in the comments below just like every other iOS
update apple is including security updates with iOS 17.5 on Apple's security release website
though typically they don't release the updates as far as what they've specifically fixed until well
after the updates released to the public so by the time you're watching this it may already be live
and if it is I'll link this in the description so you can check it out but you can just go into the
previous ones and see the different bug fixes and there's always more to list sometimes they
take days to list them sometimes it's right away so hopefully that's updated very soon and they'll
let us know with battery and performance performance-wise iOS 17.5 seems to give it
a performance boost not just benchmark scores or anything like that but just smoothness overall is
very nice seems to be very smooth they've fixed most of the micro stutters on pretty much every
device including the iPhone 11 that I have here swiping through sort of scrolling of course we
don't have promotion here but everything seems to be smooth and fast most people have reported this
all throughout the beta whether you're going into the music in the library swiping through you may
have a few hiccups or stutters here and there but in general it seems much faster than iOS
17.4.55 factors overall I'd say it's doing much better that way with 17.5 battery life though is
a different story depending on who you ask it's been really good and for some others it hasn't
been great at all for me in particular it's been okay but not great if I go into the battery health
you'll see I'm down to 98% with 184 cycles and if we take a look at the last 10 days yesterday I
had 2 hours and 30 minutes of screen active time 3 hours and 28 minutes of screen idle time and
used about 75 % of the battery which isn't great by the time I go to bed I'll typically be down to
about 20 or 30% so I may have some issues going on here but you'll see it's just the home and
lock screen music Maps I did use quite a bit so maybe that's some of it as that does use a lot of
power but nothing really out of the ordinary it just seems to be a little bit worse than normal
so for me I'm not sure why that is but some people report it's far better than iOS 17.4.55
for sure so I'll talk about that in the weekend follow-up video if you're
wondering if you should install iOS 17.5 well it definitely seems better than iOS
17.4.55 beta 1 could be within a day or two or could be the following week that of course
will be smaller updates but we'll have those updates along alongside iOS 18 where Apple
will show iOS 18 beta 1 or release it on the 10th typically after their keynote at WWDC
2024 they'll release it to the beta testers or developers sometimes the public beta takes
a couple weeks or versions and then they'll release it to the public typically in early
September before the next iPhone launch so that's where we'll see all of those major features but
iOS 17.6 should be probably this week or next to go along with that and so that's pretty much
everything and I iOS 17.5 so far there may be some small wording changes here and there I've
seen that throughout but nothing major other than what I've mentioned already now if you
found anything else that I haven't mentioned I'd love to hear from you in the comments below and
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper I'll link it in the description like I normally
do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video
please give it a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time
