hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 15.6 beta 3.
this is available to developers and by the time you're watching this video it should
be out to public beta testers as well usually it releases the same day if not today it will
be released tomorrow now along with this apple also released ipad os 15.6 beta 3
watch os 8.7 beta 3 tv os 15.6 beta 3 and mac os 12.5 beta 3. those are all currently available
to developers and soon to public beta testers now this particular update came in at 573.2
megabytes that's on the iphone 12 pro and it was between five and 600 megabytes or so
on all the devices here now let's take a look at the build number and talk about what's new so
we'll go to settings then we'll go to general then about you can see the build number is 19g5046d
and with this d at the end we're still getting closer to a final
release but that does mean we could see a couple more betas maybe a beta
4 and then a release candidate we'll talk more about that in a little while however with this
particular update there is a modem update so we went from version 2.5 4.01 on the iphone 12 pro
to now version 2.70.00 at least what i was on before to what i am now so you should see a
modem update and it will be different depending on which device you have so if you are having
issues with connectivity with different modems switching between maybe lte and 5g
back and forth this usually helps out with that so hopefully it improves over the next few days
now before we talk about what's new i did want to mention a couple things that apple announced today
apple announced that the 13-inch macbook pro where they updated it with the m2 processor
will be available starting this friday so that's something however i would recommend typically
not getting that and just going for the new macbook air if you're looking for a new macbook
the same processor no fan and an all new design so personally unless you really want the touch bar
i wouldn't go for the macbook pro as no other macs have that also apple announced today that they've
partnered with mls or major league soccer to bring matches to tv or apple tv for the next 10 years
exclusively beginning next year in 2023 so they've actually said in a historic first for sports fans
can stream every single mls match through the apple tv app without any local blackouts
or restrictions so you'll be able to subscribe to this a little bit later on and then also one more
thing i wanted to mention is if you have whatsapp and you're moving from android to ios the move to
ios app will now move over whatsapp information so that will be much easier to transfer everything
so not just messages if you're not using imessage but now whatsapp information as well now as far as
what's new in beta 3 well the first thing is it's mostly just informational and bug fixes so when
setting up a new iphone it will actually give you information about communication safety we've seen
this in previous updates the communication safety for children it's completely controlled by you
and you can enable it or disable it but if you go into screen time under settings and if you select
a child you can see that we have the option for communication safety tap on that and we can turn
that on or off it's completely up to us but it gives you more information when you're setting up
a new phone to talk about how this works overall so there'll be a new about button and then you
can see that additionally they've made a change so when maybe you're setting up different information
go into books you'll see it says bookstore so prior to this it would say apple books in
certain setup screens now they're just referring to it as the bookstore and then also they've made
a small change whereas if you're in find my and you're looking at a different device so if we go
into find my now in find my you'll see my 13 pro max it says where it is i have that blurred out
but it also says that it's charging in certain scenarios it will now just say battery charge
is and give you the percent where before it would just say percent battery power so that's something
that's slightly different that they've updated in 15.6 beta 3. now before we talk about the known
and resolved issues many people have been asking me where is ios 15.5.1 friends and family and many
of you on different social media networks have messaged me saying they have issues with ios 15.5
and apple stopped signing ios 15.4.1 so you can no longer downgrade to it and at this point i'm
very surprised we haven't seen a 15.5.1 it's completely possible now that we have beta 3 that
we could see 15.5.1 this week or next however with 15.6 that may be the next version however i think
15.5.1 could benefit a lot of people with security updates and additional bug fixes so hopefully we
see it very soon if we don't we'll just have to wait for 15.6 as far as ios 16 beta 2 many have
been asking when we can expect that and also the public beta well if we take a look at what apple
did last year with ios 15 they released beta 1 on june 7th beta 2 on june 24th and then in
between beta 2 and beta 3 they released the public beta and then beta 3 was released on july 14th
bringing everyone to the same version so apple is said to expect ios 16 public betas in july
as far as beta 2 probably next week or maybe even the week after that at this point it seems likely
next week but we may have to wait a couple weeks depending on what apple decides to do
so early betas are quite buggy so at this point many of us are wanting an update now as far as
known and resolved issues while in the notes apple did mention two resolved issues it has to do with
matter accessories apple is making a big push on matter accessories they talked about in the ios 16
keynote and they fixed an issue where you could only pair up to five matter accessories in the
home app so that's been fixed in 15.6 beta 3 as well as adding a matter accessory to a third party
app would fail before sometimes on apple home if it didn't exist properly so that's been updated
and fixed however there's still some issues that have to do with matter and the one issue with that
is the ios device that initiates pairing needs to be logged into the same icloud account as the home
hub only the owner of the home hub not an invited user can pair matter accessories so that's a known
issue that they've talked about now and also if you're using xcode 13.4 it's unable to prepare
15.6 beta devices for development so there's some known issues there that if you're a developer that
could affect you now as far as additional bugs apple has mentioned nothing about the storage
bug however on this device as well as the iphone 10 that i have here it seems like the storage
is loading quite fast and at the bottom system data is not taking up a lot of space
now i've mentioned before a way to fix that system data seems to be just plug this into a computer
and sync it and that will take care of it but you'll see here on both devices they're taking
between five to seven gigabytes or five to eight gigabytes give or take depending on the device so
it can vary greatly depending on which one you're using as far as any other additional issues such
as overheating well i'm surprised how cool the device is after updating even given that this is
a slightly older phone the iphone 12 pro a year and a half or so and the iphone 10 again is a
few years old it's much cooler than it was with previous betas so apple is really managing the
thermal management and also what the processor is doing so it seems to be much cooler and also
with the battery that's an advantage of course if it's not using a lot of processor power
let's take a look at the battery and now battery on the beta i haven't run it for a while but just
after installing this you'll see on this device we're at 100 battery health and to be fair this
was not my main device and i can share one that has lower battery health the iphone 10 since i
used it for quite some time and haven't in a while full time you'll see battery health on that is 88
both are at peak performance capability however overall battery life of 15.6 is usually reported
as better than ios 15.5 now it is a beta so keep that in mind but so far i've had 42
minutes of screen on time installing all sorts of things running geekbench and i was only at about
70 or 80 when i installed this update so it's actually doing quite well given that it's
a brand new install it's going to process a lot of data in the background and it will take a few days
to know what the overall battery is like as far as the performance it seems to be running quite well
so we'll take a look at benchmarks in a second but on the iphone 10 i was able to load different apps
quite quickly we'll open up music here for the first time and you'll see music scrolls nice and
fast going into the library as fast and i did load minecraft and we will get into some better
apps a little bit later maybe some call of duty or pub g but give this a moment to load here
and one thing to note on this is it resumed okay here but the the initial load of this game was
very slow at least on beta3 so the frame rates are very solid it loads fine now but initially
it seemed to load very slow compared to previous updates so you can see the frame rate is nice
and smooth at 60 frames per second is that's what this display can handle now as far as benchmarks
let's go ahead and take a look at those i ran those on the 12 pro and i have run them before
so we can compare but i had 1604 for single core 4083 for multicore if we take a look at
the history here you can see compared to when i ran it on april 29th of this year it's a little
bit higher for single core and multi-core both of them are slightly higher so 1589 versus 1604
and 4083 instead of 3983 so a little bit better on both of the single and multi-core scores
so it seems to be performing nicely and i would expect it to be at this point with ios 15. it's
pretty much finished we'll probably have an ios 15.7 maybe a 15.8 and then we'll move on to ios 16
usually in september now as far as if you should install ios 15.6 beta 3 well at this point if
you're on a 15.6 beta version absolutely install it however if you're wanting to try ios 16 you
may want to hold off until they release the public beta in july so at this point you can try it out
it seems to be pretty stable but if you are having issues make sure you report those in feedback
otherwise it seems to be the most stable version of ios 15 right now even though it's a beta
most people are reporting the earlier betas are very good so hopefully we see this to be a big
improvement especially all the way up until ios 16. as far as beta 4 or maybe a release
candidate we can expect that probably next week at this point typically apple will move to a
week by week schedule or weekly schedule once we get past beta 3 if they haven't already so
we can expect a beta 4 or a release candidate next week with maybe a final release at the end
of this month or early july that's typically what i would expect and then move on to ios 15.7 betas
now if you've found anything else though i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
not a whole lot going on in this update but a few nice changes here and there and hopefully they
resolve any bugs they have there's no additional changes on the ipad that i was able to find either
but if you've found anything i haven't mentioned i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
