hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 16 has been out for about a business week at this
point and i've been using it primarily on my 13 pro max that i have here as well as my ipad pro
i wanted to share some new features that i didn't cover in the initial what's new video as well as
the overall experience and your experience based off the youtube community poll where at the time
of this video there's over 200 comments and over 11 000 votes i've taken all of that information
to compile the best understanding of what it's like to use so far now we'll talk about whether
or not you should install it a little bit later and when to expect the updates yourself for
public beta testing now as far as new features if we go into settings go to general and then go
to software update if you have automatic updates turned on you'll see we now have a new option for
install system and data files this says updating to the latest version of ios may include automatic
updates to security configuration and system data files some updates may only take effect once you
restart your phone so this is a new option you can turn on and off but only in automatic updates so
i expect this to change although they've done this before and changed it later on when it came out to
the public so this may change or may not now when you're charging your phone many people have been
seeing different messages maybe they have cases on their phone or something else they'll actually get
a message in their settings under battery that told them that it started and stopped charging
based on the overall heat of the battery so the phone is just letting you know that it's doing
that prior to this it did that anyway but it was just letting you know from now on and you can see
what it looks like here so i haven't received the message myself but quite a few people have
also when you go into photos there's something new there as well so if we go into photos you'll see
here's from last week's follow up if we select a couple of them a new menu option appears in
the bottom right we've got three dots tap on those three dots and it says adjust location adjust date
and time add to album slideshow hide duplicate and copy this is something that's new in photos
that just makes it easier to manage this overall also within photos if maybe we go to a video so
let me find a video now within a video if i press and hold on an object i can copy and paste that
object into something else that works in videos not just photos so you'll see i copy and pasted
the iphone maybe we play a little bit further press and hold and then we can copy and paste
it is a little bit buggy it's an early beta so you can expect things like that but if we press
and hold maybe i want this object we can press and hold on it and copy and paste it works better in
some different videos than others and it usually works once and then stops working but it is a new
feature that should be better later on once it's released to the public now when you unlock your
phone you can unlock it in landscape on iphone 13 pro and pro max phone so if we turn the phone
rotate it sideways it will see me and then unlock so we'll try it again it saw me and then unlocked
this only works on 13 pro and pro max right now or iphone 13 series phones i should say
but maybe it will be coming to different phones in the future but it works on the latest ones there's
also a new option for phone calls if we go into settings go to accessibility under accessibility
go to touch so if we scroll down go to touch under touch scroll down and you'll see lock to end phone
calls or lock to end calls you can press the side button to end the current call so that's something
new under accessibility also when you're playing music so let's go ahead and connect our air pods
here so i'll take one of them out we'll connect the air pods we're in music and if we go into the
control center in the upper right of the thing that's playing here the music that's playing
you'll see that we have airpods tap on the airpods and we have different options to connect to
so that's new and then also if we go back to the home screen pull down the lock screen you'll see
in the little music player there's also air pods so it's the same sort of setup just letting you
know what's connected if you have air pods three connected it will show those if you have air
pods max it will show those so that's something different tap on it and then again you can select
what you want to connect to now there's quite a few more features that i'll mention in other
videos as well every single day i see more and more many of you have sent me different features
so we'll talk more about those in future videos now the overall experience so far it's very
functional it works fine you've been seeing me use it throughout this video but there's definitely
some bugs here and there so i wanted to talk about those apples aware of some of them as in
their notes in the feedback app there's many many known issues there's over 47 different categories
of issues actually and within those categories there's multiple issues so apple is definitely
aware that this is an early beta and that's to be expected with early betas so definitely there's
issues if you're running the beta make sure you're reporting those in feedback if you haven't already
the first thing to note though is battery is quite bad with an early beta that's typically going to
happen battery is not the focus and if we go into settings and go over to battery i'll just share
my battery my current battery health is still at 100 and that hasn't changed but if we go into the
last 10 days here's my battery from yesterday i had 2 hours and 54 minutes of screen on time at
3 hours and 43 minutes of screen off time and i used about 60 of my battery it's been pretty bad
and the phone is getting quite warm this is being reported by many people so usually battery is not
a focus early on and the phone is quite hot to the point where i was recording outside or setting
up to record and almost didn't record outside because the brightness was going down like it
would on iphone 12s now currently it's 81 degrees fahrenheit in the united states where i live
in the current area and it would actually ramp the brightness down and then create a problem
so right now it's working okay but for a while it was getting really hot it is quite warm right now
but it's definitely hotter than it normally is so if that's a concern just keep that in mind as
far as ipad os 16 well it's surprisingly stable but battery life isn't great so if we go into
settings you'll see my battery life from yesterday was two hours and four minutes of screen on time
32 minutes of screen off time and i used about 40 percent of my battery i'm getting about four to
five hours of screen on time and it's about the same as i was getting with ios 15 which isn't
great however everything else is quite stable so if we go into stage manager turn it on here go
into safari it works fine it's nice and fast you can resize windows without a problem and it works
really well and fluidly on the m1 ipad pro however of course it's not available on all devices but so
far it's pretty impressive as far as its stability and speed now another thing that's problematic
at least for me and many others is clearing notifications so if we go into our notifications
maybe i want to clear them here clear all of them at once tap sometimes it just doesn't happen
sometimes it crashes other times it happens right away like it just did it seems to be an issue here
and there i'm also hearing quite a bit of issues with music where it's crashing for a lot of people
so quite a few people are having music crash over and over and again like i said it's to
be expected it's an early beta but it's definitely problematic now as far as the storage bug i really
wouldn't worry too much about that if we go into our settings general and iphone storage because
again it's an early beta none of these things are going to be a big concern in a beta so if we
wait for it to load sometimes it loads very slowly and the storage being used can be 20 gigs or more
and it's just a known at this point so you'll see ios is using 6.42 gigabytes and we'll wait for
system data to load you'll see here we're using 11.73 gigabytes for system data and that's pretty
much okay anywhere between zero and 20 gigabytes it can vary greatly from day to day from hour to
hour that's why they bury it down in the bottom of phone storage because it's something that it
can use as needed but it can vary and i've heard some people like i said with the earlier versions
of ios ios 15.6 that had up to 150 gigabytes used and by syncing that with itunes it seemed to fix
that for them but there's definitely still some bugs that's going to be addressed probably later
on hopefully they'll give us a way to clear that out a little bit as well quite a few things that
you've said have to do with the lock screen notifications not stacking properly also if
you're running test flight apps maybe you're using testing apps they won't show up properly until you
turn on developer mode that's a new mode in settings so if we go into our settings here
and we go down to privacy and security scroll down at the bottom we have developer mode and
under developer mode you can turn this on and then you can run your test flight apps that makes sense
you're a developer you want developer mode turned on so you can test those apps also some people are
saying they're having issues with the wallpaper going into dark mode so sometimes it won't show
in dark mode and apps will show in dark mode and other parts won't so if we turn on dark mode here
you'll see this isn't a dark mode wallpaper but if we go into settings it's working okay but in other
locations it's not working okay and again it's an early beta there's going to be some bugs here and
there one major issue is notes are disappearing for some people so if you rely on notes
sometimes they're disappearing just not syncing properly and then also there's ram management
issues going into different apps whether that be youtube loading again or other apps loading again
that seems to be an issue and then the issue we have all the time that a lot of people have
is mobile banking apps not working properly again i've heard this over and over from many people and
that happened with previous betas ios 15 betas ios 14 13 12 betas that seems to be an ongoing issue
and so far it's an issue with this update typically that won't be resolved
until september when it releases to the public now if you're wondering when ios 16 beta 2 will be out
typically that's two to three weeks away so at the time of this video i would expect it probably
on the 20th or 27th of june and then we'll have following betas usually within two weeks and
then they'll speed up to a weekly cycle apple said that the public beta will be out in july
and that seems to be around when we think the time of beta 3 will be out so
when it comes out of course i'll make sure you you're aware of that and i'll do separate videos
on those and everything else but typically we expect in july it could be late july it could
be early july it's just when apple feels it's ready enough to be used by public beta testers
so at this point we don't know as far as ios 15.6 betas well i would expect beta 3 this coming
week whether it be monday tuesday or wednesday sometime early next week i would expect 15.6 betas
if you're running those now if you're wondering if you should install ios 16 beta 1 typically i
would recommend against it if you're worried about any critical apps or anything else and you don't
have an extra device i would probably hold off wait until it's more stable with the public beta
i would not install the developer beta early on on your main device especially if you have critical
apps usually i highly recommend against that and apple does as well so this is something that
is good so far but has issues and bugs in fact today alone i've restarted it three times
so there's definitely some issues as far as performance overall it seems to be performing okay
but it's not without its bugs like i said for an early beta performance is quite good whether that
be scrolling going into a different app so maybe we go into weather you'll see it didn't load yet
give it just a moment there we go but going into different apps sometimes are a little bit slow
and stuttery and there is lag throughout but the performance in general with with opening different
apps whether that be spotify or something else seems to be about normal or what you would expect
so it seems to be okay with that that's the first time i've opened spotify since booting this phone
today now let's go ahead and take a look at the youtube community poll and take a look at
some of your comments and what you had to say at the time of this video there's over 11 000 votes
there's 20 percent of you using ios 16 beta 1. six percent of you are using ios 15.6 beta
sixty five percent are on fifteen point five or earlier two percent are using fourteen point
eight or earlier and seven percent are using android and thanks to everyone who voted now
let's take a look at some of the comments i have some of your comments in front of me on my ipad
let's go ahead and take a look at what you had to say jeremy lee said using ios 16 beta 1 on
my iphone 13. i've been experiencing slight ram management issues recent apps keep refreshing
and buggy wallpaper manager i actually had the buggy wallpaper manager on my 13 pro max as well
i had it right before when i was trying to set the wallpaper for this video so i just forgot
to mention it but app compatibility and overall performance is quite good for the first beta i
don't regret installing it tiernan flynn said the only two problems i've had is horrid battery life
both with my iphone 12 and ipad air third gen and the photos app keeps crashing when i make
a lot of edits other than that i haven't had any notable issues so far and so the overall
experience is going to be very different depending on who you ask zombie soul said using iphone 13
pro phone gets hotter than usual a battery drains faster youtube landscape mode turns the opposite
direction than the original way it did pictures and message app crashes freezes and turns black
the phone refuses to restart unless i use siri to restart it homepod minis won't turn up or
switch audio to tv when the youtube advertisement plays then switches back when video comes back on
wallpaper doesn't change unless i do it from settings and go to the wallpaper there's some
other issues as well and so lots of little bugs here and there and it's really going to depend
on your device what apps you're using and what you're doing valerie andrew said and hopefully
i'm saying that name properly ios 16 beta on iphone 12 regular no huge system ending bugs
but like other people i've seen the phone heat up and the lock screen editing shows signs that it's
still early in its implementation otherwise the beta is super stable and what with what we have
i'm really looking forward to the full release daniel wayne wright says on my iphone 13 pro max
some banking apps don't work with ios 16 there's a bug where you can't change the voice over voice
and a couple of lock screen glitches other than that it's been perfectly stable for me
my battery life has been a tiny bit worse although not noticeable and still seems to get me through
the day which i think this is actually the exception as far as the battery life goes robert
o'brien says ios 16 beta 1 on my 13 pro max my daily driver no major bugs however there are quite
a few wallpaper issues for the home screen battery drainage has been shocking charging every night at
around 40 to 50 percent and then all of the sudden it dies by 4 pm lock screen notifications stack
doesn't work properly keyboard sound and haptics stop working every now and again and when playing
games the screen starts skipping quite a bit when i turn on sleep focus mode and then turn it off
it automatically reverts to personal every now and again personal focus mode randomly turns on
these are just to name a few looking forward to the video and like i said many people are
going to experience many different bugs but make sure you report that in the feedback app
eleanor mccrimmon says ios 16 beta 1 on my iphone 12 pro max battery drains faster than normal which
i expected and the only issue i've had so far is a system crash earlier this morning nothing else
so far steven d said i tried it and everything has worked well until i noticed my constant
monitoring glucose app stopped working it would crash every time i tried to open it and that's
kind of important so i had to use dfu mode to go back to 15.6 and so that's one of the reasons i
said earlier on you probably don't want to install this if you have any major apps that are important
otherwise it seems to be okay but typically i recommend against installing on anything other
than maybe a secondary device that you have laying around and so that's everything with ios 16 beta
1 it's pretty good for an early beta i'd say it's better than maybe ios 14 or 15. sometimes they're
very good sometimes they're not it just depends on the overall features and how far along apple's
developed it but so far it seems okay sometimes it gets better with beta 2 sometimes it actually
gets a little bit worse usually by beta 3 it's much better though but let me know if you've
found anything else i haven't mentioned in the comments below as far as new features or maybe
some bugs you didn't hear in this video i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
also if you've made it to the end of this video i'd love to hear if you'd like me to continue
to film outside when i can or if you prefer the indoor videos i'd love to hear from you there as
well in the comments below of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it
in the description like i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and
