hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and apple released iOS 16.1 beta 3 to developers and iOS
16.1 public beta 3 should be very soon this came in at 712 megabytes on my iPhone 14 pro Max and
was about the same size on all the devices here along with this apple also released iPad OS 16
beta 10 along with Mac OS 13 beta 9 watch OS 9.1 beta 3 also tvos 16.1 beta 3 and homepod
Os 16.1 beta 3 all of those are available now now let's go ahead and take a look at the build
number and talk about what's new so we'll go to settings General then about and you can see the
build number is 20b 5056e this particular build does have some updates and changes in them so
let's go ahead and talk about them but first this does have a modem update in it so if you
were having connectivity issues whether that be with the newer phones or older phones you should
see some sort of modem update now the first change is under settings and then if if we
go to our wallpapers they've updated the UI for this you'll see initially or immediately you'll
see a new UI for this where we have a add new wallpaper button and we can also see all of our
different wallpapers we've set in the past with a nice little sort of Animation as we swipe through
them and then a set as current button so we have all of those options now we can just swipe through
them or we can add new ones here and just easily add them they continue to improve this overall and
one thing I noticed right away is if we set a new wallpaper it seems to be very fast so if we press
the plus button maybe we'll just set the weather wallpaper we'll hit add hit set wallpaper pair
and then we're done so it seems to be much faster than it was before and that's a great Improvement
now also if we go into our settings there's a new update here so in settings then if we go down to
App Store under App Store you'll see we have an in-app content option if we go under settings and
then App Store here let's turn on dark mode this is on beta 2 you'll see we do not have an in-app
content option so it says automatically Run apps in the background to download content before you
first launch them so you now have that option it's turned on by default on the iPad Apple has
updated something people have wanted for a while on some devices so many people have been wanting
stage manager and now it's available on iPad's Pro third and fourth gen from 2018 and 2020 along with
the M1 iPad so if we go into settings you go down to home screen and multitasking you'll now have a
stage manager option you can turn that on or off and use it how we've been using it on the M1 iPads
all along now Apple made a statement to Mac rumors and you'll see here that they said we introduced
stage manager as a whole new way to multitask with overlapping resizable windows on both the
iPad display and a separate external display with the ability to run up to eight live apps
on screen at once delivering this multi-display support is only possible with the full power of M1
based iPads customers with iPad third and fourth generation have expressed strong interest in being
able to experience stage manager on their iPads in response our teams have worked hard to find a
way to deliver a single screen version for these systems with support for up to four live apps on
the iPad screen at once external display support for stage manager on M1 iPads will be available
in a software update later this year and so one thing I noticed right away is when I plugged in
an external display it didn't seem to work other than with screen mirroring so we can screen mirror
but I wasn't able to have it extend anymore so I'm not sure if it's a different setting they've moved
it but I wasn't able to get that to activate in our display settings or anything like I was
on earlier betas of iPad so if you wanted to use that you may want to consider not upgrading for a
little while until Apple updates it later on now again on the iPhones if we go into settings and
then we scroll down and go to General Apple has actually removed matter accessories from beta 3.
so there's no longer a settings option for it but the overall capabilities are still there on the
iPhone but the settings is gone so there they've removed that for now maybe it'll come back later
on Apple's also updated the focus modes so if we go back into settings and then go over to
our Focus modes you'll see under Focus if we add a new Focus We'll add one here it's a little hard
to reach on these plus size phones you'll see maybe we'll add a fitness Focus they've changed
the graphics for almost every one of these where they've changed what it looks like so
under driving you'll see they've updated that and then we'll go to gaming again they've updated it
and then mindfulness with a new graphic and then under personal again a new graphic there reading
and then of course work here as well so all of those have been updated under Focus modes
now satellite connectivity is actually present in the code here but I wasn't able to sort of
activate this in any sort of way you'll see under SOS or emergency SOS technically the code is there
to allow you to connect via satellite I tried on different phones the 13 Pro or the 14 pro
rather and the 14 pro Max and was not able to get it to activate now it may be only available
in certain areas but hopefully we'll be able to test this soon but it looks like that satellite
connectivity that Apple promised with the 14 pro Max and the 14 pro and 14 series is coming
later on but with 16.1 also something worth mentioning is live activities for sports seems
to be working since beta 2. so under TV we saw some of that there if you go into a live sports
option here let's see if we can get this to load and you'll see we have a game here it says live
if you have the option to follow you can follow it and then it will show on your lock screen and
give you updated real-time scores with your live activities so that's something that they added
with beta 2 it's showing up for many people if you want to follow certain sports games it doesn't
seem to work on all things yet but hopefully it will be soon and then of course live activities
is available for developers with 16.1 also one thing to know is some people are saying that the
battery icon looks slightly different as far as its overall roundedness I see it slightly maybe
the actual Corners are slightly more round but some people were pointing it out so I thought
I'd mention it here now many have mentioned that YouTube picture in picture seems to be fixed so
where there was an issue before let me turn down the volume we'll go into my channel play one of
my videos now it's playing we'll swipe home and it loads right away before it sort of was
just a blank screen and then it wouldn't work so you'll see here it's loaded it's working and it's
actually playing so it's working properly if I swipe it off to the side it's working as you
would expect so that's a good sign it's working if you have that available also the startup sound
seems to be working where it wasn't working for me before in betas turning it off and turning it
back on seems to work with beta 3. so if we turn this off so we'll turn it back on give it a moment
there we go it turns on gives us the sound it wouldn't do that for me before now also
a couple things worth noting is the music album artwork animation still seems to be that same sort
of glitchy bug so if we go and play a song we'll turn down the volume here play a song We'll swipe
home and if we go to the lock screen you'll see here if I tap on the album art it just jumps in
and now if I tap on it again it bounces up and down again this is something that doesn't seem
very smooth we had thought they'd fix by now but continues to be an issue so it may be an issue for
some also the storage bug seems to be not really there anymore but some people are complaining of
excessive storage being used again I wanted to just sort of reiterate I wouldn't worry about it
too much unless you're out of storage altogether so if we go into storage you'll see this is a
512 gigabyte model give it just a moment to load system storage seems to be taking up a good amount
of data but that's okay I have a ton left so as long as it's not taking up to the point where you
can't maybe take photos videos or install apps it's not a problem you'll see it's using 31.87
gigabytes and this will just change over time it's system cache overall and I wouldn't really
worry about it but let me know if it's an issue for you as far as the latest phones some people
are reporting issues with the display now in the past we've had issues with green tin and even red
tint and if we put the brightness down very low in the dark parts of the display some people said
they experience flickering I haven't seen this but I'd love to hear if you're having this issue
in the comments below now as far as the overall release notes let's go ahead and take a look at
those we'll go into feedback and you'll see here if we go into this most of these are just matter
accessory issues so they've resolved an issue where you might be unable to pair using a matter
matter ECM code via the matter support framework pairing API that's been fixed but there's still
known issues as far as matter goes so you'll see you might receive an alert to turn on Wi-Fi when
pairing a matter accessory and other issues here that memory allocation issue I mentioned with
beta 2 is still here and there's pretty much no other things mentioned here so they definitely are
fixing some issues but there's still more to be fixed mostly due to matter accessories and there
must be something a little bit more difficult about this but we are expecting new home pods
maybe they're waiting for some things like that next year but again we're waiting for matter to be
the standard now as far as if you should install iOS 16.1 beta 3 I would say if you're on beta 2
then absolutely if not I would probably hold off and stay on on 16.0.2 I wouldn't try and resolve
an issue by going to this beta as it's a little unknown as how it's going to perform it will take
a few days to know that as far as iOS 16 beta 4's release at this point we can expect weekly updates
until the final release I would expect beta 4 or beta 5 maybe beta 4 a release candidate and
then beta 5 in mid-october or so then we'll hear about iPad OS releasing to the public as well as
Mac OS Ventura we're expecting those along the lines of a new iPad and maybe new Macs as well
however we may not have an October event as some people are saying just to expect it in a press
release so we'll have to wait and see but I would expect something in mid-october as far as iOS 16.1
as far as overall performance well performance seems to be quite good so far of course it will
take time to know that for sure promotion on the latest devices seems to be nice and fast and like
I said wallpaper at least setting the wallpaper seems to be much faster than before and benchmarks
also show that it's pretty fast in general so if we go into our benchmarks under geekbench
I ran this right after installing it but I scored 1899 for single core 5371 for multi-core if we go
into the history you'll see on the previous beta it's faster by a little bit for single core and
a little bit faster for multi-core as well over a hundred faster for multi-core so it seems to
be performing well so far and of course Apple will continue to optimize for performance and
battery life as we go on as far as battery life goes well it takes a few days to measure that but
we'll take a look I've been testing the 14 pro just so I can do a full review on it I like to
use them for a full week before I know what it's like or at least some my wife has one as well we
can look at but you'll see battery health and charging 100 percent and then if we go down to
the last three days you'll see I've been using it the second day which was fairly intensive I
only had three hours and 59 minutes of screen on time 9 hours and 17 minutes of screen off time
for some reason and use 75 percent of my battery today we're at 2 hours and 54 minutes of screen on
time and five hours of screen off time at fifty percent of the battery so of course this is no
Pro Max it's not going to get incredible battery life but so far it's getting me through the day
but filming this video we're down to 43 percent and so that's everything we know so far about
iOS 16.1 beta 3 of course if I find anything else I'll have a follow-up about that and let me know
if you want weekend follow-ups as I typically don't do those at this time of year normally
I'm focused on Hardware but if you'd still like to see those on the weekend let me know in the
comments below of course 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
