hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 15.4 beta 3 to developers and
hopefully very soon to public beta testers usually it's out by the time this video is
released now this particular update came in at 754.4 megabytes that's on my iphone 13 pro max
and it was similarly sized on all the devices in this video the iphone 11 iphone 6s plus iphone 10
and ipad pro apple also released ipad os 15.4 beta 3 a watch os 8.5 beta 3 tv os 15.4 beta 3 homepod
os 15.4 beta 3 and mac os 12.3 beta 3. all of those are available now if you're a developer and
hopefully soon to public beta testers 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 and you can see the build
number is 19e5225g and this particular update does include some changes and updates as well
and the first thing is a modem update we went from 1.57.00 to 1.59.00 on the iphone 13 pro max
many others had this update as well so if you're having connectivity issues again switching between
different cellular versions it should be a little bit improved of course it will take
a few days to know that for sure now the first thing they've updated has to do with software
update now this is technically part of beta 2 but when people went to update to beta 3 many people
despite not being on 5g were able to update over lte i had some people sending a screenshot so
let me show you that and as you can see here this is a screenshot from a phone
that's on lte that actually is downloading the update so they were able to do this now
and others were showing that they're actually getting a notification that says use cellular
data to download and then you can tap continue i've actually seen that before on 5g but never on
lte or 4g so going from beta 2 to beta 3 many are seeing this where they're able to install it just
using cellular data even if they don't have 5g and many people will be happy about this if you don't
have easy access to wi-fi so hopefully we'll see this not only with this beta but future updates as
well now there's a small change in face id so if we go into our settings we'll go back here
and then we'll go down to face id and passcode put in our password if we scroll down and if you're on
a phone that's iphone 12 or newer that allows you to use face id with a mask you'll see that we have
the option for require attention for face id this has been there for some time but now if you turn
it off you have a dialog that pops up that says requiring attention makes face id more secure
if you turn this off face id will unlock your iphone even if your eyes are not clearly open
and looking at the screen face id will always require attention when you're wearing a mask
so if you have this feature you'll need it turned on in order to actually use this with
a mask so just something that's a little bit new that they've added in this update if you're using
apple's podcast app the first time you go in you'll get a new splash screen mentioning some
new features now this feature does not seem to be active since the podcast creator will need
to set it up but if we go to our photos i have a screenshot here where it says what's new in apple
podcasts filter episodes and when viewing a show in your library filter episodes by played unplayed
downloaded or saved and browse by season browse by season appears to be a new feature or change where
it says go to any show and filter for a specific season many shows have different seasons and so
this looks like it's going to be a nice change for those of you that post podcasts with seasons such
as the serial podcast that has a few different seasons but i wasn't able to actually find it
and it's not showing so hopefully they'll add that in the future as people use podcasts more
and more however i typically use a different podcast app myself after installing beta 3
some people are seeing under settings at the top that it says review emergency sos i haven't seen
this on any device i updated here but according to nine to five mac some users are seeing it so at
the top here you'll see it says review emergency sos so that's something i actually haven't seen at
all but apparently some users are actually seeing it one thing that seems to be new and updated is
if you have an ipad air with touch id on the top there's some new settings under settings
under accessibility for the top button so if you tap on top button you'll see that it says
click speed default slow slowest adjust the speed required to double tap or triple click the top
button press and hold the speak siri off and then also rest finger to open so there's some changes
here as well that have been updated some of the wording as well within beta 3 apple has mentioned
that they've resolved one issue according to their notes they've fixed an error within the health app
when attempting to add an eu digital health certificate from france ireland or singapore
that's now fixed in those countries with beta 2 they resolved it in other countries and by the
time this is fully released it should be working properly everywhere now one thing that i believe
is resolved but they didn't mention specifically and that's the storage bug i've had multiple
people message me saying that it's resolved however it does seem to take a while to load
for some people on my 13 pro max when trying this initially it took a very long time to load storage
so it does seem to work and if i scroll all the way to the bottom it seems like everything is
loaded whether that be on the iphone 10 or 13 pro max system data and everything is actually loaded
this time around so it looks like it's resolved but again that will take some time to know as
there's many different phones and many different configurations out there so i'd love to hear from
you in the comments below if it's resolved for you beta 3 also contains 13 known issues that's
actually down from 15 with beta 2 and there's a few notable ones some that are still from beta
2 still occurring in beta 3 such as signing into the ipad is limited to apps in this beta
the help health app can crash when you attempt to onboard the blood oxygen feature from within the
app and pairing of thread accessories in the home app still seems to be causing a problem
however the new one that they've mentioned that is on ios and mac os it's possible to trigger taking
a photo of a participant when in a group facetime call it says on ios this could occur when you tap
the grid button or the bottom left corner of the screen on mac os this could occur when you click
the grid button or top right corner of the window so rebooting the device may resolve that issue
but that's something that's known but they haven't mentioned that they've resolved anything else but
there is still that pink screen bug now this may be resolved for you but on newer phones it could
sort of go to a pink or purple display and then reboot the phone they haven't mentioned whether
they fixed this and i've also seen people mention online that the music bug does not seem to be
resolved yet so if you were having that music bug when streaming music some people were experiencing
significant battery drain and that was due to the cpu using more power so it was using a lot
more power streaming it does seem that that's still going on so definitely something that they
need to fix still now as far as ios 15.4 beta 3 and if you should install this update well this
particular update does seem to be better as far as bug fixes as most of them will be and beta 2 is
quite stable so if you want to try it out you can but just be aware that you you still could have
issues this is a beta and you need to report those in the feedback app if you are having those issues
as far as when to expect ios 15.4 beta 4 in the release candidate and final release well now that
we're on a weekly cycle i would expect it next tuesday or wednesday where we see beta 4 with a
release candidate the following week in the first week of march and then a final release sometime
around the new apple event we expect in march around march 8th so typically around that time
frame we should see a final release with a new mac event it looks like with some new ipads and that
iphone se3 so all of those things are expected around that time now as far as overall battery
life in this update well it will take a few days to know and i will have a follow up on the weekend
like i normally do but if we go to our settings go to battery battery health on my 13 pro max is
still at 100 i charge it every night like all of my iphones and it seems to be doing well but beta
2 was not that great so 2 hours and 53 minutes of screen on time 10 hours and 17 minutes of screen
off time and i used about 50 of my battery so far today i've already got better screen on time and
6 hours and 29 minutes of screen off time but still something is using background activity
such as music even though i'm not even using it so there's definitely some issues going on here
but again it will take a few days to know for sure as far as overall performance everything does seem
to be performing well and some people have said that using minecraft is not the best example but
it does seem to be okay the beta was quite slow upon initial boot up on this phone
and you'll see here if i load minecraft i'm curious what you would like to see other than
this maybe a speed test of something else that would help you better determine what the overall
performance is like but again speed seems fine the stability and smoothness of everything seems to be
fine and frame rates look good but as far as other apps i'd love to hear from you in the comments
below what would work for you best as far as showing you what it's like also the overall heat
of the device seems to be okay upon the initial installation of beta 3 the back of the phone was
not that hot some people are concerned about that and i really wouldn't be too concerned as apple
does regulate the temperature with the processor and everything else but it seemed to be nice and
cool on all these phones which was not the case before as far as the overall benchmarks i did run
that on a couple devices here i just wanted to share that so i'll share that on my 13 pro max
and you'll see that the single core we'll go back here we'll go to history as some for some
reason it sort of didn't show it but you'll see here 1730 for single core 4602 for multi-core
that's upon running it initially if we take a look at the previous ones it's definitely a
little bit lower as far as multi-core probably if i ran it again it would be fine but single
core is better this time around it's still within the region that it should perform about the same
promotion and everything else seems to be fine as well now i'll run the benchmarks in the follow-up
video so that we can have a better idea of all the devices but typically sharing that
in this video doesn't really show what it's like after it's run for a few days so i want to share
in those videos instead so that's it for ios 15.4 beta 3. now if i find more things within this
update of course i'll share it in a separate video as far as more new features and of course there'll
be a weekend follow-up just like there is every week where i talk about battery life stability
additional bugs and how it's been overall for all of you so be sure to check back for that community
poll as well now if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it
in the description like i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and
if you enjoyed this video please give it a like as always thanks for watching i'll see you next time
