Hi everyone.
Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple Released iOS 12.4 developer Beta 2.
This is available not only for developers but also public Beta testers and came
in at a pretty small 80.9 megabytes on my iPhone XR the size will vary depending
on which device you have, but for the most part it's a pretty small update.
Let's take a look at the build number.
You can see the build is 16 g five zero two seven I and this particular build
really does not have a whole lot in it. In fact,
it's only a couple builds newer than the previous one that came out a week ago
and since apple never pushed the public Beta,
it's almost like they took the developer Beta from Beta one, made a few tweaks,
bug fixes or background fixes and then updated it and sent it to both developer
and public Beta testers. So that's really what this seems to be about. In fact,
depending on which device you have or from what I can tell,
there are no new modem numbers either depending on any of these devices.
I checked for the 10 tennis Max before and after the modem number has not
changed. So I haven't seen any tweaks to the LTE.
Now one thing that I haven't really mentioned too much in the past is the Wifi
signal is actually a broadcom Modem.
It is not an intel modem so that could be fixed still. So there's hope for that.
I have not had too many issues with Beta one on the modem, so that's a good sign.
But as far as anything new in this particular Beta,
there's nothing new in the notes, nothing for the IPAD, pro, iPads,
iPhones, anything, there's just nothing really new.
And in fact this particular Beta is setting everything up for the apple cart in
the APP store arcade feature that's coming later on that's going to be available
for games and things like that.
So there'll be some updates when it comes to the arcade and that's really what
we're looking forward to. There's,
there's just not a whole lot going on with this particular Beta.
And that makes a lot of sense because in just two weeks here on the first week
of January or June rather,
we will have ios 13 on Monday.
So we should have Beta one of ios 13 for developers.
It will be awhile for public Beta testers,
but we should see all the new features and things like that. And Right now,
Ios 12 is kind of in its end of days stage where they're just going to tweak it
and do some bug fixes and security fixes at this point.
And so I've been testing it on all of these different devices and so far I have
not seen any freezing in settings, which is a great sign.
And some people are already reporting that it's very fast or much faster for
them depending on the device around.
So if we're looking at older devices like the s e or the success plus that I
have, they're scrolling and everything is nice and fast.
Let we bring over the success plus that I have here and I did hear some of you
in the followup video that mentioned you'd like to see the seven and things like
that. I'll be sure to show some of those other devices soon,
but right now they're just not available. They're in longterm testing.
So as you can see here, it's nice and fast on the six s plus. In fact,
I went into every one of these apps just looking for things for this particular
Beta and everything's loading nice and fast on all of the devices and most
people are saying it's super fast for them and there's just nothing new in the
iPad either. So I did run a geek bench on all of these particular devices,
but before we do that, let's talk about battery life now.
Battery life has been okay on my iPhone 10 hour,
that's been my main phone during Beta one and you'll see I did put it down as I
was testing some other phones,
but the best I received in Beta one was four hours and 32 minutes of screen on
time,
one hour and 22 minutes of screen off time with about 20 to 30% battery life
remaining. That's good for me. Not Great for everyone,
but that's actually pretty good for me as I have a lot going on in the
background. As you can see here,
I like to leave all those features on and since I have charging available,
it's not a big deal,
but you'll see there's a lot of background activity going on.
If I turn some of that off, I'm sure I could extend battery life,
but it's not that important for me personally since like I said,
at charging is readily available if I was out and about,
I may need to turn some features off. Now let's talk about the Geek bench scores.
I ran them on all of these devices here, so I'll show you those in a moment.
Let's take a look at the XR, which wasn't as good as the 10 s Max,
but for the 10 are we have 4,776 for single core 10,852 for multicore.
If we take a look at the history here, you'll see,
let's see if we can find the right day. Five days ago it was much faster.
Now I ran this not too long after updating so it can go up over time,
but it went down a little bit here. But on the tennis Max it was,
it was quite good. Let me show you all of the different Geek bench scores.
So here are all the different devices for your reference.
On the left we have the IPAD pro 10.5 to the right of that.
On top is the iPhone se. Down below that is the iPhone six s plus.
In the middle.
At the top is the iPhone 10 are below that is the iPhone eight plus.
And on the far right is the iPhone 10 s Max,
which had by far the best multicore score at 11,309 that's it for Ios 12.4 Beta
two there's not a whole lot more going on.
And I would expect another Beta either a week from now or maybe we'll see it on
the same week as ios 13 but I doubt it.
So I'd expect Beta three somewhere in next week,
or maybe a couple of weeks from now. But again,
in two weeks we have ios 13 and I'm really looking forward to that.
So let me know what you think about it in the comments below. Of course,
I'll link this wallpaper in the description as I always do.
