hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.1 beta 4
this came out to developers and possibly public beta testers by the time you're
watching this on my iPhone 10 s max it came in at two hundred and forty seven
point five megabytes let's take a look at the build number you can see the
build is sixteen b50 eight for a now this a signifies that maybe this is the
last version before the final version or the gold master or golden master
depending on what you want to call it this particular version does not add any
new features but it seems to fix a lot of issues there is ZERO stutter or lag
anywhere in any of these devices have been trying to find it since it came out
and was installed and sliding back and forth here just scrolling on different
sites even if I go to a 5s here if I just go to my website here wait for it
to load of course it's gonna be a little bit slower on this device but scrolling
is super smooth everything's buttery smooth and I found online some people
were saying the exact same thing for their experience so this is really super
smooth and everything you're doing it just feels a little bit different and
I'm not sure what they tweaked there but there's definitely something now the
other thing is does this fix the LTE issue and unfortunately their notes do
not say anything about this whatsoever the LTE issue is really something that's
a pain for me on the 10s max I'll be driving or out away from the home when
I'm not on Wi-Fi and maybe even I'll have one two full bars and I'll be
either trying to search for something maybe I'll be trying to tweet or on
YouTube and all of a sudden my connection even though it's connected
completely drops I don't know if this is fixed yet because it takes a little
while for that to happen they haven't mentioned that it is but hopefully it is
now they did fix the Wi-Fi issue in the prior betas and also some other issues
that people were experiencing with charging but that should all be fixed
across all of these devices and it should be working fine now now battery
life on beta 3 at least for me was pretty terrible compared to previous
betas so let me find battery here we'll go to battery let it load and you can
see three hours and two minutes today let's take a look at the last 10 days
and it just has not been that great four hours four hours four hours five
and a half so that's the best I've gotten but really for the most part this
has not been that great when it comes to battery so hopefully this time around it
will be and I did some battery tips and I've been tweaking my settings on here
as well to try and figure it out for this device but I've never had to do
that with any of these and they just seemed to work really well now as far as
bug fixes beta 3 was really buggy all over the place that were app crashes
people were experiencing settings freezing for others lots of little weird
things here and there that some people have been messaging me about and
hopefully they're all fixed with this because it feels smoother hopefully they
fix that and tweaked it if it's going to be released to the public soon and when
it does come to the public it will have group FaceTime available so you'll be
able to use group FaceTime on any of these devices that support iOS 12 and
also you'll be able to use those new emojis if that's something you use a lot
so on all of these devices it seems pretty good now I did run a Geekbench on
the 10s max since this is what I've been using to compare and we'll talk about
the 6s plus in just a moment but let's take a look at the Geekbench scores and
they're actually a little bit improved once it loads here see we'll go to the
history I ran this a little bit ago and this is the scores I got today so
4828 for single core and eleven thousand three hundred and ninety three for
multi-core if we take a look at the history you'll see here that it's a
little bit better than last time by just a little bit but that's okay any
improvement is welcome and those are just synthetic benchmarks so while
they're not a hundred percent accurate as far as a representation of the
experience on the device it should help now on the iPad I really didn't have too
many issues except for battery life battery life on my iPad was not great
this is the first gen twelve point nine and it's a couple of years old it seems
to be doing okay speed was never really an issue or lock ups but just overall
battery life was bad on this so we won't know for a few days if it's good on beta
for as it takes a few days for it to stabilize and actually see how it is
with real usage now on the 6s plus I'll be doing more videos about this
individually but the 6s plus feels nice and fast of things like games seem to be
working fine so if you're using games on your older devices maybe
in craft or something such as for tonight those seem to work fine they're
not crashing you should have no problems on any of the supported devices going
back to the 5s no issues there you'll see it loaded nice and quickly
everything's fast the frame rate is nice and fast and that might even be a little
bit improved over last time so everything's looking pretty good at this
point so that's really it speed is good the geek bench is pretty good everything
else is looking good and I'm looking forward to group FaceTime for everyone
to have it because that's something I'll actually use so hopefully we'll see that
release to everything now the Apple watch did get a beta update still no
mention of the ECG feat feature coming on to that I'll check it out later it
takes a while to update that beta but their notes are not updated and it's
just something that I've been looking forward to that's not there but let me
know your thoughts and experience in the comments below be sure to check back for
that battery update and some other updates ironic generally run a YouTube
poll to see what you have to say and you guys give great feedback on that so I
look forward to those every week so check back for that if you'd like the
wallpaper I'll link it in the description below if you haven't
