hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.2 developer
beta 4 this came in at three hundred and eighty one point nine megabytes for me
and my XS Max it may vary depending on the device you're on and the public beta
will usually be out later today or the following day let's take a look at the
build number and they've made some changes under the About section again so
let's go ahead and go to general then about now on the left is iOS 12 .2
beta 3 on the right is iOS 12.2 Beta 4 and you'll see they've
split this up again so here we have songs videos photos applications
capacity and available in this new section here on the right they've
changed this where it's still grouped on the left now let's take a look at the
build number you'll see the build number is 16 e5 2 1 2 F and this particular
build does not add a whole lot that's new but there are a couple subtle
changes the first one is the news icon this news icon has been updated it's
changed and I'm not sure if I like it and maybe this is a direction for iOS
their team it's kind of hard to say but that's a new icon they've also changed
the remote for Apple TV in the control center so the remote has changed and
this carries across the things like now playing when you've got an Apple TV on
your Wi-Fi network so if you are on the lockscreen it'll change there as well so
it's just a new little remote icon now in the notes there's not anything new
but there is an issue still with wallet with the wallet app when you're trying
to select a card and authenticate it it may fail so that's still an ongoing
issue they have not resolved with beta 4 and with this current build number I
would say we're still due for a couple more betas as well and if we take a look
here the event will probably be on March 25th where we'll see a final release so
I would expect maybe a beta the 11th maybe the 18th and then the final on the
25th now this particular version does not
seem to have anything really exciting or new but one more thing to know is under
about in the About section what we have is new modem and carrier updates as well
so maybe they're refining the issue people we're having with LTE and Wi-Fi
again and hopefully you won't have connectivity issues I have noticed a few
more the more I've been used on my XS Max in particular it just
seems to not behave properly that's it for the new things and issues there's
nothing new on the older devices it's going to be the same sort of updates as
compared to this one but nothing new that differentiates the two the same is
true of the iPad that's right here nothing new there everything feels fast
and fluid still and I haven't had any issues but it's only been out for an
hour and a half or so at this point so there's not really a whole lot going on
it seems responsive it seems to work okay and I didn't have it lock up before
now battery life as far as that goes in the previous version seemed to be about
eight to nine hours of battery life my health you'll see is still at 100% and
battery life overall while it doesn't look like very much here with three
hours that was over fifty percent battery life left so the battery life
for me on beta 3 was pretty good and I would assume it would be the same for
beta 4 but you never know it will take a few days to know that for sure so be
sure to check on the follow-up for that that I put out I'll do a YouTube
community poll as well to see how it's going for you and which device and
that's where I wanted to follow up with the older devices and show you on the
older devices how it's been but it takes a few days to test all of those out so I
did run a geek bench to test the actual speeds and I ran it twice and it was ok
this was the best score I got 4803 for single core eleven thousand twenty from
multi core if you take a look at the history it's not so great so these two I
ran it actually went down but it's about the same and we should expect
performance to be just about the same now there's one more thing I noticed
it's probably not a new change since I found it on the newer devices but I
noticed that it was not on the older devices so I thought I'd share it with
you if we go to settings go to notifications scroll all the way to the
bottom there's a third alert there's a Public Safety Alert I didn't see this on
older devices and it only seems to be on the XS, XS Max and XR so there
might be a different antenna in them for that let me know if you have that though
in the comments below I know it's not new to beta four but no one seems to
have mentioned it I even did a search for it and haven't found anything so
that's it for iOS 12.2 Beta 4. Be sure to check back for the follow-up if

watching this is Aaron I'll see you next
