Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and iOS 17.2 beta 3 released today to developers and
iOS 17.2 public beta 3 should be out by the time you're watching this video or sometime
tomorrow now if you want to jump right into the features or any other part of
this video be sure to check out the chapters Linked In the description now along with this
apple also released iPad OS 17.2 beta3 watch OS 10.2 beta3 along with vision OS
beta 6 and many others like they typically release this particular update came in at
650.1 megabytes or so now let's go ahead and talk about the build number and take a look at what's
new so we'll go into settings General then about as you can see the build number is 21C5046c and
as we get closer to a final release that letter at the end will change to an a just like it is on
Vision OS beta 6 then we'll get an RC and a final release we'll talk about when to expect that later
today but we do have a modem update in beta 3 so hopefully that again continues to help with
overall connectivity maybe there's some changes there as far as new features well the first one
is something they've brought back if we go into our wallpaper when you're adding a new wallpaper
you'll see under collections that we now have live wallpaper that's returned so it's actually
here in motion like you would expect just like before and they finally brought that back it will
start to move in the background and move as you move your phone around like that so it's a nice
little update there and you can change it to LI or dark mode if we go into our settings and then
we go to General and then keyboard there's a new Option here for show predictions in line so many
of you that don't want this option we now can turn this off so as you're typing it will show
predictions while you're typing and you can hit space to actually accept that prediction or not
at all if you don't like that you can now toggle it off back within settings if we scroll down to
music we actually have a new Option here for add favorite songs they've added this for your library
and you'll see here on beta 2 on the left it's not there where we just have add playlist songs
and it actually says add songs to your library when you add them to your playlists or you favor
them so you can disable that now if you'd like to additionally if we go into music we have a
new splash screen that pops up the first time we go in where it says welcome to Apple music play
millions of songs and it's just telling you about it in general tap continue and then you're into
your music now the first time you open the photos app you'll also have a new popup that asks for
access it says photos would like to ask access Apple music your music and video activity and
your media library photos can use apple music to curate songs for memories so if you want
to allow that you can or you don't have to allow that and you could select your music manually in
the memories options so that's something they've updated there as well also some people are seeing
a new splash screen the first time they go into the journaling app so let's see if we get that
here go into Journal you'll see it says welcome to journal write about your day and add photos places
and more and then lock your journal to keep it private so there seems to be a new splash screen
for that as well within Safari if we go into Safari and then you go to your bookmarks and then
you go to your history and tap clear if you select last hour today or any of these clear time frame
options this will actually now stay and remember it the next time you go into it so if we want
today and yesterday we clear that next time we go in let's do that we've cleared it it actually
remembers it here so if we go back into it and maybe go to Apple again then we'll go to learn
more go back to our bookmarks then go to clear it actually remembers the last one you've checked
just a nice little use case update that makes it easier also some people are seeing updated video
players I'm not seeing this myself but it's on my telegram Channel and as you can see here when you
go to play something it may ask you to start from beginning or have details where before
it just sort of looks like this for me however these buttons were new in beta 2 with info and
up next and if we go back into settings and then we scroll down to where it says phone messages
in FaceTime under phone and FaceTime there's a new Option within FaceTime you'll see it says
share name and photo and we have the option for contacts only go into that and we can switch it
from contacts only to always ask this same exact option is there under the phone options also so if
we go back go back under phone you'll see again it's also there under phone so the same contact
card menu and everything additionally to go along with FaceTime if you're on a call according to A&P
613 Within the code it says it will warn you if a blocked contact is joining the call also you
might be able to actually collaborate via notes using airdrop So currently you can send someone
a note using airdrop but you may not be able to use that collaboration tool yet in future updates
or possibly this one I wasn't able to get it to work you can actually share via airdrop and then
collaborate with someone but I don't have a phone that's on a different contact that was actually
updated at the time so let me know if that's working for you if you've tried it now as far as
the release notes if if we go to Apple's public facing website they actually haven't updated
the feedback app yet at least at the time of me filming this so if we go in and refresh it hasn't
been updated yet with beta 3 so if we go back to the public facing website go to view release notes
you can see the release notes here where they're updated not a ton that's new here but there's some
known issues that remain such as sending an airdrop or using name drop to an iOS 17.0 or
17.1 device might fail sporadically there's also known issues with the favorite songs playlists
and other things as well not a ton of known issues but there's some resolved issues as well such as
after verifying a contact the verification check mark might not show up in messages that's using
the contact key verification so lots of things that they continue to work on and of course if
this is relevant to you be sure to check it out especially if you're a developer I'll link that
in the description and as far as remaining bugs well there's definitely a few still here one of
them in particular is the wallpaper dimming bug so if you notice how vibrant it is here if I scroll
home it dims so you'll see that again let me try that one more time if I scroll home it dims again
once I do that once I get rid of the notifications additionally notifications seem to jump in still
definitely still an issue there and so there's some odd issues going on still with this now as
far as other issues that are going on well the missing keyboard and Spotlight search seems to
be working properly here so no issues there seems to be popping up every time I haven't seen that
again but it was definitely a bug in beta 2 and hopefully it doesn't return but we'll have to
check that in a few days in the follow-up video on the weekend to see if that returns last time
they fixed an issue using the personal hotspot with an Android phone so we'll have to see if
they continue to resolve issues now I did mention in a separate video yesterday about iOS 18 and
it's apparently going to get a big redesign so hopefully we see some big changes just like we do
here if we go back if we go into some of the new UI here not standby but rather the action button
this is completely different and unlike anything we typically see on iOS so iOS 18 could get a big
update with a redesign and more hopefully they add more depth and flat design is done but we'll
have to wait and see that won't be until June typically till we see beta 1 though so it's
a way away now if you're wondering if you should install iOS 17.2 beta 3 well if you're already on
beta 1 or beta 2 absolutely but if you're wanting to try it out typically by Beta 3 it's much more
stable I would not install it if you're trying to resolve bugs though as beta are typically
buggy and you typically need to report feedback on them so if you're wanting to be on a stable
version stay where you are otherwise if you have a backup and you have a computer in case you need to
downgrade then I would definitely try it out once the public beta is out unless you're a developer
of course now as far as iOS 17.2 beta 4 it looks like we're on a weekly schedule at this point so
we could expect that as soon as next Tuesday maybe with the RC sometime at the end of the month or
beta 5 with a public release probably around the 13th or maybe the 11th that's what Apple did last
year we had it on the 13th so we could see that sort of roll out in between now and then it's
possible we could see an iOS 17.1 point2 maybe to resolve Wi-Fi issues people are having but
we don't really know we don't see any hint of that just yet maybe we'll have that maybe we won't but
either way we should expect a lot fixed as well as additional features with the journal app and more
in this update with IOS 17.2 as far as overall performance well a few people on and other places
have already said it seems to feel very fast and I'll show you benchmarks in a moment but overall
it feels very smooth I've had no issues with it just testing it over the past hour or so going
into things such as settings scrolling around I'm not seeing any stuttering or anything slowing down
so this is a good sign I haven't noticed that at all as far as overall heat well it was warm when
I first started it up but that's to be expected after it installs an update now it's nice and
cool it's really not an issue and of course we'll test that in a few days days along with battery
we'll see how it is after a few days but as far as my current battery let's take a look we'll
go to General and check the actual cycle count under about and as you can see I have 43 Cycles
currently so not too bad since using it new and since it actually released a few months ago now
if we go into battery health and charging we're at 100% and then over the last 10 days it has been
getting me through a day but you'll see it only shows 2 and 1/2 hours of screen active time the
day before 2 hours and 33 minutes of screen active time 2 hours 3 minutes of screen idle time and use
75% of my battery so standby mode will definitely affect this as you can see the day before if you
have standby active it shows 10 hours active so if you have it on a nightstand with the screen on
it's counting that so maybe they've updated this but 2 and 1 half hours doesn't seem right is I'm
getting through an entire day and I'm typically at about 40 to 50% at the end of the day maybe
down to 30 depending on use but I usually don't have to charge it anymore throughout the day so
I don't think this is accurate but hopefully they update this and provide more accuracy
with it as far as benchmarks it actually scored pretty well if we go into geekbench 6 you'll see
single core was 292 multicore was 7,230 if we take a look at the overall history you'll see
here before pretty close to what we had on the weekend with iOS 17.2 beta 3 after running it
for a couple of weeks pretty similar 10 points off for multicore and about 20 points off for
single core so not bad at all and if we run this again it Ely could bump up a little bit more so
overall expect the overall performance the way it works and everything else to be identical as far
as anything else well that's all we found so far if I find anything else of course I'll let you
know in the weekend follow-up video and if you found anything else I'd love to hear from you in
the comments below if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper I'll link it in the description
like I normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
