hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and iOS 17.2 beta 3 and iOS 17.1 point1 have both been out for
a little while now we'll talk about the experience since most of us have been using one of those
versions we'll also talk about your experience based off the YouTube Community poll where at the
time of this video there's 18,000 votes and 196 comments I've used all of those comments read all
of them to determine what the overall experience is like we'll talk about features some Apple news
things you should know as well as what you can expect as far as the next updates when they should
release as well now the first thing is there's an app for iOS or rather Apple watch called watch it
seems that it's shutting down unfortunately so you'll see here on the Apple watch if I go into
the app watch tube there's actually a message here saying that they're working the best they can to
get it working but right now the servers have been taken offline now I don't know if this is
against YouTube's policy maybe that's part of the problem or something else but they haven't really
specified but they have used some of my images in the past and it's something that apparently a lot
of people enjoyed so be sure to check back and see if that's working or let me know if you've
heard anything else about that as well now Apple had quite a few Black Friday deals and many are
still live not necessarily on Apple's website but also other services things like Amazon other
websites as well Best Buy has a lot of deals and if we go to the store here we'll go to
Apple Store you don't see a whole lot of updates here but there are quite a few deals throughout
such as on Amazon there's Apple watch at a big discount just about every version of Apple watch
and I'll link some of those in the description if you want to check them out now we've talked
quite a bit about Apple bringing RCS messaging to iOS next year I wanted to mention a couple
other things as many don't necessarily seem to understand that it's basically just an updated
version of SMS and MMS so if you're using that it brings additional features Mac Rumors actually has
a really nice breakdown of all the different Rich communication Services that's what RCS stands for
what actually does and things it supports such as audio messages and cross platform Emoji reactions
that's built in and will work across iMessage and then Android and other things so it's not really
anything that's going to change the way iMessage works it rather just lets it interact a little bit
differently maybe they'll add encryption and more but I'll link that in the description if you want
to check that out with all the different things it can do with improved group chats and much
more which will be better for iMessage users as well that's a big deal in the United States when
Android joins iMessage it sometimes can mess that up now due to Thanksgiving in the United States
we haven't had a lot of Updates this week there's been a few app updates but Apple typically takes
the week off and they'll resume next week you can actually see this in the feedback app so if we go
into recent activity you can see it here where they'll be back in the office on November 27th
so after that point is when we should expect new updates we'll talk about that in a moment now I
wanted to talk about some new features and the first one has to do with a new splash screen if
you go into Apple Fitness you may see this popup well I saw this I had my friend Brahm sent this
along who saw this you'll see it says your six we restart get back into fitness or get inspired
to try something new with these specially curated workouts so if you've been wanting to try it out
they're getting you started off easily and this is available now if you're using the fitness app so
that's something that popped up for me now I think now that we've had iOS 17.2 and beta for a while I
wanted to go over some of the features quickly just to refresh your memory the major one of
course is the journal app and this is something I probably haven't used as much as I should and let
me know if you're using it I don't really trust it yet is I want to make sure that all of my entries
stay there so I'll probably wait until the final release to use it regularly but I did use to use
day one quite a bit and I find it to be something that's helpful to journal every once in a while if
not daily so let me know if you're using that in the comments below now also of course with music
we've got favored playlists that are there now finally so if we go into our library go to our
playlists we've got our favorite songs playlists and then of course we can can collaborate on these
playlists now as well so if we have maybe this one that I created you can collaborate here you'll
see I have some collaboration going on and it also tells you who's added each song when they've added
one you can see that here so if you add different songs it will let you know who's added that
additionally there's some new clock widgets and weather widgets so this is one here for weather
if we go over and add a widget you can see in the different weather widgets here's the main ones
we've had but here's some new ones with additional details as that one's called we've got daily
forecast as well as sunrise and sunset also if we go up to clock here there's another one so let's
scroll up we'll go to clock and within clock we have a new digital clock so we've got many of the
normal ones we've had but then also that digital clock as well so that's really nice if you wanted
to use that that's available in iOS 17.2 also if we go back and this one's questionable if we go to
our lock screen if we customize our weather widget Apple has made some changes to the wind widget but
we don't know if that that's going to be in the final version they sort of changed it completely
and then brought back the original version so that's something that I actually liked the one
they changed it to we don't know if they're going to change that back I'm using the Lumi widget here
from the Lumi app if you're curious about what that one is now as far as the action button Apple
has updated that as well I've talked about that in the iOS update but again if we go into settings
then we go to action button we now have the option for translate that wasn't in the original version
and it has a really nice animation so if you want to translate it's listening and then you can see
it there so that's something that's really helpful if you want to use translate you can now do that I
typically just leave it on flashlight though but let me know what you use the action button for of
course we have contact key verification finally for iMessage that can be found in iMessage or
within your settings within your Apple ID settings you'll see contact key verification and then you
can enable this to verify who you're speaking with they can set up the same thing and sort of
verify that you are who you say you are so that's something I'll be using later as you actually have
to have all of your different devices updated and I don't want everything on a beta so you'll see
as we wait just a moment here it'll pop up give it a moment there and you have to update all of your
devices so I'm going to wait just a bit to do that now we've had stickers and messages as well and
they've added a new one where we can add a sticker to reply just add this one here and it replies to
the previous update of whoever's messaged you so that's something they've changed they've
also added a couple new options so if we go into AirPlay under our settings so let's get out of
this under General and then if we go under AirPlay and handoff you'll see we have AirPlay receiver so
if you have that enabled you can allow AirPlay for everyone require a password that's something that
you can use later where you can stream or share content from Apple Vision Pro to your iPhone and
speaking of Apple Vision Pro there's also a new option for your camera within your camera if you
weren't aware of this if you have a 15 Pro or 14 pro you need a liar sensor for this to work but
within here if we go to video you'll see there we have options here it's a little buggy but we have
a Vision Pro options so we can enable that to get spatial video and then use that on the Vision Pro
later so it'll actually capture depth information and if we want to capture that we can that again
is in your settings we'll go back go to our camera settings and under our format options in camera
we have the option for spatial video for Apple Vision Pro so I just wanted to reiterate some of
these as many people e forgot them or didn't watch the initial video as well additionally
Focus filters have been updated so if we go back and within a new Focus if we add a filter we have
the option for music now so they've updated this with listening history so you can use listening
history or choose if music played Will influence recommendations and mixes appear in recently
played or be shown to others on Apple music if we go into a contact card so we'll go into one I have
here go under monogram then tap your name at the top slide over there's a new rainbow color option
so that's something very minor they've updated and also if we go into books this has been updated
as well so within books if we go into our options here so we'll go options themes and settings under
themes and settings we have the page turn option we now have the option for fast fade so that's
something we can change where fast fade will just let us fade between different pages instead of
using the page turn I still personally prefer the original page turns sort of curl look that was
something that they originally had where you could sort of Turn the Page like it was real now I went
over all those features just to remind you what's in iOS 17.2 as we often forget and I haven't
covered them alt together as those were features that were spread over beta 1 beta 2 and iOS 17.2
beta 3 with iOS 17.2 though we can expect beta 4 very soon to bring more refinement to things such
as the journal app more bug fixes maybe some new features we weren't expecting and we can
expect that up date hopefully sometime this week based on what we had last year we actually had iOS
16.2 beta4 that released on December 1st now that would be the following week but I think it should
be sometime this week along with iOS 17.1 point2 we know that's in testing according to Mac rumors
and others now they're actually seeing it in logs iOS 17.1 point2 could be expected as soon as this
week as well last year iOS 16.1 point2 released on November 30th and then beta 4 was after that
so maybe we'll see it on Tuesday or Wednesday with a release of iOS 17.2 beta 4 later in the
week hopefully that's what we see so we could get a bunch of different updates and we'll be
very close to the final basically version of iOS 17.2 releasing to the public and then nothing else
for the rest of the year except for maybe one beta update so we can expect the final release of iOS
17.2 probably within the second week of December like we had last year then we'll have a 17.3 beta
and then no updates typically until maybe the 2 or third week of January that's typically what
Apple does also iOS 17.1 is no longer being signed so you can only downgrade to iOS 17.11
so I would expect iOS 17.1 point2 very soon now iOS 17.11 for the average user seems to be okay
however I'm hearing more and more bugs as time goes on that's pretty typical as people notice
things as they've used it more or more people in install it but in general the main thing I'm
hearing is that notifications aren't working properly sometimes they just don't actually
show up or they're just not dinging the phone so you know that you've been notified by something
this could be because a focus mode is enabled but most of the time it seems that people are
just not getting their notifications with certain apps also I've heard of people saying they have
frame rate drops so if maybe they have a promotion display they're noticing maybe it's a little laggy
or maybe they don't have promotion but still it's a little slow also there's that WI I issue still
that Apple's basically confirmed and said it will be fixed in iOS 17.2 I'm hearing more and more
about typing lags so if you're on a website and you're just going to maybe Apple they're saying
it's lagging unexpectedly for no reason so that's a little odd also sometimes these ones are more
major where it's not charging in certain cars such as GM Lincoln and others and also there's
charging issues with just in general plug it in in some older phones and it won't charge without
rebooting the phone so a lot of little issu that Apple definitely needs to fix that should be fixed
already hopefully they take that seriously and if you're having issues and you're on a beta
make sure you report it in feedback as far as iOS 17.2 beta 3 well I've been running that full-time
on my 15 Pro Max since it released and for the most part it's been okay but I still have a few
issues here and there for example that wallpaper issue where it's vibrant here when I'm on the lock
screen or the notifications then I swipe up and it sort of dims I have that until I reboot reset
the wallpaper then sometimes s it works other things I have that are more serious are cellular
data issues where it just drops or Wi-Fi drops and that seems to be a known issue but I have constant
issues where sometimes it just goes away and then comes back and that shouldn't be the behavior of
it for any reason so I have different routers at different locations and it does it with all
of them so there's definitely an issue there that Apple needs to address the notification
bug is ever present which has been since iOS 16 it seems we just sort of jumps in from time to
time and then also notifications aren't showing up for some as well so lots of little issues the
camera isn't really causing too many issues it's not overheating some people are having that but
I'm not having that in general it's been okay but there's occasional issues so definitely some odd
things going on as far as the camera I've been using it readily it seems to be pretty good in
fact I recorded the iPhone 15 pro video with it if you haven't seen that for 2 months later the
good and bad I recorded it with the 15 Pro Max it did a great job and I really had no issues
with it so if you haven't checked that out the camera looks pretty good some of the images I
took afterward look great I don't think they're making any improvements whether that's to the 14
pro Max or 15 Pro Max any of those but I think it looks pretty good overall now as far as the
overall performance and heat of the phone well the performance has been good other than people
having lag on certain phones I have had no issues as far as that goes I've seen it nice and smooth
no issues scrolling opening music opening application just seem to be nice and smooth
in general however it hasn't gotten hot like some people have said either so the overall temperature
is nice and cool and I'll just show you a quick comparison as many have continued to ask to see
that so here's a 14 pro Max on the same version and a 15 Pro Max let's take a look so on the 15
Pro Max we have about 84.5 de fah which isn't warm at all basically that's just from me holding it
and on the 14 pro Max about the same 84.5 de f fhe again in Celsius about 29° C and on the 14
pro Max about the same 29° CSI or so so about the same nice and cool no issues there and it seems to
be staying nice and cool now granted I don't play a lot of games on here or anything but in general
unless it's charging and that's one thing I did test in my car this past week Apple said it was
fixed for BMWs at least with the latest update on Iowa 17.2 beta 3 in my Audi this incredibly
hot using the wireless charger so I'm not going to use that until they actually fix it because it's
so hot you can barely touch it so that's not good for the phone if it's warm it's okay but not that
hot now as far as the battery life let's take a look at that we'll go into settings General
and take a look at the cycle count you'll see the current cycle count is 52 so basically just
counting up as we would expect using it regularly and if we go into battery life battery health and
charging we're at 100% currently and if we take a look at the battery life over the last few days
yesterday I had 2 hours and 27 minutes of screen active time 3 hours and 57 minutes of screen idle
time used about 60% of the battery that's not really that great and then today I had 2 hours
and 29 minutes of screen active time now I Ed this for the phone or I used this for the camera on the
phone rather when I was recording the iPhone 15 video so this is going to use a lot more power
when you're recording 4K 60 the day before I used about 75% of my battery and only had 3 hours and
14 minutes of screen active Time 5 hours and 17 minutes of screen idle time so battery life
overall hasn't been great I haven't been using it a ton but it's getting me through the day mostly
sometimes I have to charge it depending on what I'm doing I expect much better battery life than
this but if you're using something like maps with apple carplay and it's not plugged in or anything
you're going to use a lot of power now as far as if you should install iOS 17.2 beta 3 well if you
haven't already I'd probably just wait until this coming week when we expect it to release again
with beta 4 as far as iOS 17.11 I would update to that just for the stability and security issues
especially if you have a BMW as well that should be fixed as far as the wireless charger making
it really hot and some other bug fixes as well hopefully we'll get an iOS 17.1 point2 very soon
with some more bug fixes that fix all of those little issues we're having and major issues with
Wi-Fi and cellular now let's take a look at what you had to say now depending on who you ask the
overall experience varies greatly so I wanted to give you a couple examples hot Bey 76 says
iOS 17.11 on iPhone 13 Pro Max this has to be the worst iOS update for me since I've used an iPhone
and that's from 2007 when the first one came out battery life is atrocious I used to be able to get
a day and a half and now I'm charging daily and I don't game or do social media just texting in
YouTube I'm literally seeing the percentage drop while using my phone and I also got got a bug
where my A2 doesn't connect airpods pro 2 doesn't connect when I take them out of the case I always
have to go and turn off Bluetooth and on and wait like 1 minute and then it will connect again iOS
17.11 sucks one is IOS 17.2 coming out well I've already talked about that in the video I have had
a couple issues with airpods Pro 2 as well I think it's the airpods update though not iOS Tama 5153
says Model 12 with 17.11 occasional short free UPS typing or scrolling with imessage battery
life is fine for me thriving Branch says iOS 17.11 on iPhone 12 battery has been better than previous
17 versions still seeing a number of bugs though most recently issue with the Sleep alarm toggle in
the control panel showing as off when it was still enabled the alarm scared me when it fired because
it showed as off also still have the issue with sleep in general not sinking between my watch and
phone properly finally airpod's connection seems to be worse again with this update sometimes when
I ask Siri to initiate a call it doesn't switch to airpods sometimes and the other person is left
wondering why I can't hear them skateboarder 1000 says battery on my iPhone 14 pro has been
really good I can make it through a whole day stop charging at night and Juice It Up when I get ready
for work in the morning no complaints and I'm on iOS 17.2 beta3 Antonio fedus 4347 says hi am using
iPad 6th gen and I have installed iPad OS 17.2 beta 3 and I noticed that it's running smoother
and better and battery is great no fast drain not lagging on the keyboard and overall experience
is very good better than the previous beta iOS 17.2 beta 2 TTS 292 says I'm still running iOS
17.2 beta 3 on my iPhone 11 and still no bugs I'm very excited for the next release and I can't wait
for the public release even though we probably won't see the public release until December or
near the end of the month either way I'm really looking forward to this and I can't wait to see
what Apple has next in store for us hope you're having a great Thanksgiving and your videos are
awesome thank you so that's everything with iOS 17.2 beta 3 and iOS 17.11 hopefully by
this time next week we'll actually have IOS 17.1 point2 and iOS 17.2 beta 4 with some new
updates bug fixes and some different features or refinements I hope we have some things as far as
bug fixes though we really could use quite a few especially with Wi-Fi and cellular let me know
your experience in the comments below and I'll link this wallpaper in the description like I
normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
