hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 15.6 has been out a week or so to developers
and beta testers with beta 1. i've been using it full time on my 13 pro max and also my ipad pro
and want to share with you three things that you should know about it now first as far as
the overall features with ios 15.6 it does not appear to have a lot of updates in it
in fact in the code is really all we saw as far as updates so if we go into messages
within messages in the future we'll be able to hide the emoji search bar now why you would want
to do this specifically i'm not sure is it was a feature but it looks like based on accessibility
features we'll be able to do that later on there's also additional code for accessibility
or accessibility within ios 15.6 so we'll probably see more of that a little bit later also this past
week they updated apple wallet with the apple wallet account card now this is pretty much just
in the united states and i've heard from people around the world they've been able to see it
but they had to change their region to the united states so you see as we move this the actual card
changes color with the apple logo so as i move the card around using my phone you'll see it changes
this is just to allow us to use our itunes card those itunes gift cards where you can use them
in the app store you can use them for purchases on your iphone and within the apple store you can
see that here it says pay with your iphone in the apple store shop online or buy apps subscriptions
and other services so it's not really for anything else and maybe they have some future plans with
this but right now that's all you can do with it now the first thing out of those three things you
should know is this is pretty buggy for me ios 15.6 has had many lockups for me whether that be
the music app usually the way a lockup will work with this update is i'll go into music app and
then maybe go to the main page and go to scroll and it does nothing i'll tap on something it does
nothing so i'll scroll it doesn't work then i'll close it out it resolves the problem i go back in
it loads again and then it works i've had that problem many many times with 15.6 beta 1.
so many lockups and the only way to fix it is actually close the app out and start over
i've seen that in third-party apps i've seen that in apple apps and it continues to be an ongoing
issue so there's definitely issues with it still and it's still buggy the second thing to know is
that cellular data seems to be better than ios 15.5 so with 15.6 apple rolled back the cellular
modem firmware update to a prior version or a slightly younger version and it seems to work
better than 15.5 so when you're switching to lte or 5g it looks to be much better as far as
the overall connectivity for me so you'll see here i have four different bars let's
go ahead and go into speed test and take a look and i'm in an office but let's go to speed test
and see what we get so here we go speed test let's wait for it we'll hit go and we should get
pretty decent speeds now we're down to two bars but it's 5g uc so we'll give it just a moment here
we're between 40 to 50 megabits per second on t-mobile and that's okay it's not amazing or
anything but it's doing just fine and usually if you check it again it will go up upload speeds
are between 15 to 20 megabits per second give or take and not bad at all in my opinion is
about 40 milliseconds so not incredible if i was to run it again it would probably increase
but the overall connectivity is not dropping so if i'm listening to music and it switches cell towers
it's not dropping on me like it did with 15.5 the third thing to know is that battery is all
over the place for me not only on the iphone but also on the ipad now this is expected with a beta
and you can report that in the feedback app as you have issues but it's definitely all over the
place if we go into settings go to battery and you can see my battery health is at 100
again here's coconut battery just to share with you that and keep you updated but we're still at
100 capacity it's working fine and as far as the last 10 days you can see here this was yesterday i
had three hours and 30 minutes of screen on time 7 hours and 57 minutes of screen off time and about
50 usage so it's not really that good with this update now it's an early beta so i'm not too
concerned about it but you'll see music is again using background activity even though i don't have
the app running so 3 hours and 4 minutes of screen on time 5 hours and 12 minutes of screen off time
and i'm seeing the same from others who have sent me their battery so we'll take a look at that so
for those that have sent in their screenshots this is from abashek on an iphone 11 pro max and he had
three hours and 25 minutes of screen on time three hours and one minute of screen off time with 50
usage again this isn't great then matt sent in his battery usage on an iphone 13 he had better usage
five hours and 23 minutes of screen on time at 3 hours and 27 minutes of screen off time and used
about 75 percent of his battery however i can't tell if he charged during that time or not so
at this point i would say it's just not that great and it will improve over time now on the
ipad battery life is still pretty terrible so i haven't had any crashes or anything on the ipad
but it hasn't been great for me so you'll see my battery is currently at 15 i've been recording
with it so it's going down but it's just not great overall we'll let it load and again here's coconut
battery showing some of the statistics for it and yesterday i had four hours and 15 minutes
of screen on time one hour and 13 minutes of screen off time and it was about 75 percent usage
normally i'm getting about five hours when the battery really should be lasting me about ten
you'll see most of my usage is youtube and so with streaming over wi-fi watching youtube it's using
an awful lot of power the overall experience is just fine it's smooth and fluid but it's really
just not great with battery but what is better with ios 15.6 is cellular connectivity like i
mentioned and also it still performs pretty well it's fast and snappy on older devices and newer
devices alike so whether you have an iphone 7 or an 8 plus like this one here you'll see
it's nice and fast going into things like music going into browse we're just waiting for wi-fi
it's still nice and smooth and fast so i really haven't had any issues as far as performance
other than the lock-ups i mentioned before now as far as the storage bug let's take a closer
look at that i continue to have people send me their storage and it's just not great now this
is not meant to be checked all of the time it's completely fine for it to vary and it will change
all of the time but you'll see here i'm using 120 gigs out of 256 gigs on my 13 pro max we'll
let it load it will take just a moment and the storage at the bottom is what we're concerned with
so again we'll let it load here we'll go all the way to the bottom and it's still loading
so go back into the iphone 11 also scroll to the bottom that seems to load a little bit faster but
has less used on it and we'll give it a moment here it took a moment to load and you'll see my
system data is quite low 2.96 gigabytes on my 13 pro max and 3.96 gigabytes on the iphone 11.
now for me it's quite low but quite a few of you have sent in your data and what it's using
and it's quite a lot i've seen as much as 150 gigabytes now which seems to be quite a lot now
you can fix some of that by clearing the cache in your settings for safari and that usually will
take care of it but it's still a problem for some people hopefully we can fix that in the future
and i'll talk about that in a different video now one person did mention that the phone was getting
overly warm when charging that shouldn't be too much of an issue for most people as the iphone
should manage it itself however on a beta that can change because well it's a beta and some of
the code is changed so it could go outside of spec but there's temperature sensors within the
phone and within the magsafe chargers to help you keep that regulated so you shouldn't have to mess
with that too much but just keep in mind with a beta it could go outside of spec perhaps but
apple doesn't necessarily say that they've changed anything with that or that there should be bugs
no one really mentioned any issues with bluetooth or wi-fi just cellular that it was better mostly
for 15.6 so with 15.5 that seemed to be an issue and that leads me to should you install ios 15.6
betas and at this point i would say no especially if you're wanting to install ios 16 betas
however 15.6 if you're a developer and you're developing apps then definitely i would recommend
it and then of course report feedback otherwise i would probably pass and wait for at least beta
2 or beta 3 or probably ios 16 beta 1 on june 6. now ios 16 beta 1 is expected to be quite buggy
so i really wouldn't install that on your main device unless you know what you're getting into
i've had it so bad in the past that i have to go back on my main device and then i'll just put it
on a secondary device it's not worth it sometimes it's super buggy and we've seen that in the past
we don't expect the public beta until july and that's pretty typical with public betas with ios
13 we had a late public beta and it was after beta 2 we had it between beta 2 and beta 3 they
released the public beta so expect something along those lines but that seems to be pretty typical
now also this last week apple stopped signing ios 15.4.1 now we expected ios 15.5.1 because
apple released it for tv os and homepod os to fix an issue with music playback and audio pausing
so far they haven't released it for ios this is the first time we've seen that in a very
long time and i really expected it sometime this past week however based on what we've seen in the
past i would expect it may be early this coming week so maybe on the 30th or 31st and we're also
waiting for ios 15.6 beta 2 that we can expect this week as well so it's possible we have them
on the same day although that's very rare so maybe one day we have 15.5.1 to the public and
the other day 15.6 beta 2 and then of course wwdc in just about a week or so from now so of
course i'm looking forward to that now let's take a look at the comments and see what you had to say
i have my ipad here with all of your comments and ryan aspina says with 15.6 beta 1 my 10s max is
feeling on fire when i'm using a fast charger which has never happened before only now now
this is one of those comments i sort of referenced in the ios video a little bit earlier saying that
well it shouldn't get too hot but being that it's a beta it's possibly an issue so definitely report
it in feedback for aesthetic set recently just updated to ios 15.6 developer beta 1 on my iphone
12 pro max was rocking 15.5 for a little bit but the battery life for me was horrendous on 15.5
along with a few miscellaneous hiccups so far things have been a lot more smooth on 15.6 and so
like i said performance doesn't seem to be an issue on 15.6 battery life is mostly my
issue along with lockups and freezes charlie gorham says ios 15.6 no issues not running hot
very smooth and i love it so far using iphone 12 pro max aurav aurora says i've been using ipad
os 15.6 beta 1 on my ipad pro 9.7 inch 2016 since it came out so far it's a hit or miss
the battery doesn't last longer than 4 hours which is what you would expect from an old ipad
the performance on the other hand is good with no lag or any sort of issues and like i said with the
ipad it just seems to be really not great i'm not sure what apple did with earlier versions
of ios 15 but it's definitely much worse than it used to be hopefully with maybe future versions of
ios 15.6 or ios 16 it gets better muhammad manduru says hopefully i'm saying that properly i'm on ios
15.6 on iphone 6s plus i notice the battery drains quicker than 15.5 when the phone is not in use
i haven't seen that too much except on the ipad so again really hit or miss with that battery mark
jones says 15.5 for me as i tried 15.6 so he's referencing whether or not which one's better
but the battery life went down too quickly for me when using 15.5 with an e-sim here in the uk
it does keep dropping calls a modem update is needed to fix this also apple maps has changed
on all devices now you don't get the 3d image of a lot of normal buildings unless you zoom in closer
i find that really depends on the city that you're in but i also hope that
ios 16 that they bring the look around to the whole of the uk of course look around is done
by cars driving around with different cameras on the roof so you'll see that but it takes
a long time to do that google's been at it for many years so is apple but it takes time around
the world so that's everything with 15.6 beta 1 i expect 15.6 beta 2 hopefully early in this week
and then also keep in mind in the united states it's a holiday on monday it's a national holiday
memorial day recognizing those who have fallen in the military so we probably won't have anything on
monday but tuesday or wednesday we could see beta 2 and then on wednesday ios 15.5.1 or either one
we could see them on the same day in either order so we don't really know for sure as apple hasn't
said but look forward to those this coming week at least beta 2. 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 as always thanks for watching i'll see you next time
