hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 16 public beta and ios 16 beta 3 re-release
have been out for a couple of weeks and there's even more new features and changes i wanted to
share with you that have been found since the initial what's new video or follow-up videos
also ios 15.6 has been out for a few days and there's a couple of features and changes that
i wanted to talk about there and of course we're all waiting for ios 16 public beta 2 and ios 16
beta 4 to release to developers we'll talk more about when to expect that a little bit later in
the video but first let's talk about the app store earlier this week i talked about how apple arcade
will have some games that are leaving and apple has actually clarified what happens if maybe
you're using one of these games and then they remove it from the app store so there's a bunch of
games here it looks like it's a whole category now that may change over the future and if they remove
them apple released a support document as to what's happening if a game is leaving apple arcade
so as you can see it says games might sometimes leave apple arcade if you download a game before
it leaves arcade you can play the game for at least two weeks after if you try to launch an
arcade game that is no longer playable you receive a no longer available message after a game leaves
arcade the game developer might choose to make their game available on the app store these
games might vary from the arcade version if the developer makes their game available on the app
store and allows you to load your saved progress you can pick up where you left off in the arcade
version so it clarifies that as well as some other things here and hopefully not too many games leave
but at least you'll be able to pick up where you left off in most cases if the developer allows
it i'll link this in the description below now there's a new feature in settings that
i wasn't able to show before and i've mentioned in early beta videos but if we go into general
and then we go down to language and region under language and region if we change the language to
maybe french so we'll slide up here switch it to french hit continue give it just a moment it'll
change the language now once it's changed we have a new category this is available for languages
that have a masculine and feminine option but now you'll have non-specified and neutral as well
so you'll see this for things such as spanish and french and maybe english eventually so you
have some other options here but you can see that there's a new category this isn't available under
english so i didn't see it before but finally it's here for those that have been wanting that
otherwise it will be showing up later probably in english and more so hopefully we'll see that
soon if that's something that you wanted to change so you'll see here that it doesn't show up under
english now if you go into your settings here and go down to accessibility there's a new feature for
accessibility users under siri under siri you can see here we have a siri pause time this is super
helpful if you need a little bit more time to respond default is just what you've always had and
then you have longer and longest so if you need a little bit more time to respond whether that be
you're just having trouble speaking or just in general you speak slower and need to respond a
little bit differently it will now allow that so that's great that they have that option
now if we go down into safari within safari we're back at that support document i showed earlier you
can now pin these documents so they show up in your tabs later on so if we press and hold on
the address itself we can pin that tab so if i pin it go to our different tabs here you'll see
it's pinned and it's very easy to access without going into your bookmarks so something i often
go to is apple security updates you'll see the recent security updates for safari and ios 15.6
i want to pin that again i can pin it you can unpin it the exact same way just press and hold
so we'll do that again and you can unpin the tab if you want to also one quick thing i actually
discovered by accident that has been here for a very long time and i just really didn't notice or
maybe i talked about it in a video a long time ago is if you press and hold on the aaa which
turns on reader and flips to dark mode something i just noticed when i was playing around with this
so instead of going into settings just hold it and it will flip to reader super convenient feature
on safari now also if we go into the fitness app or previously the activity app within the
activity app if you tap on your account in the upper right usually indicated by your picture
toward the top we have health details change goals and unit of measure if we go into change goals we
can now change our goals directly in the fitness app instead of having to go to our apple watch
where we had to before this is super convenient now that we can actually use the iphone and the
fitness app without having an apple watch we can change our calorie goal and more our move goal
and more throughout the day so probably should change this but this is what it's set at for now
and you can change it directly here instead of your watch now now if we switch over to ios 15.6
that i have on my iphone 13 pro there was a big thing in the news this week about air tags and
them not showing up in find my with their battery status so if we go into find my so within air tags
you'll see i have five of them some of them are blurred but you'll see toward the bottom there
actually is a battery status saying that it's low it won't show a battery unless it's actually low
this was changed in the code and thanks to my friend steve mosher for helping me out with that
but it was actually changed in the code quite some time ago and it just won't show unless the battery
is low they're not showing an actual status maybe that has to do with battery savings on the air tag
maybe not but hopefully they bring that back also in ios 15.6 if we go into settings go to
notifications scroll all the way to the bottom we have test alerts test alerts was added in some of
the earlier betas i mentioned them in the beta videos but forgot to mention it in the ios 15.6
video apple didn't mention it specifically but now depending on your region you'll have a test
alerts option as well if you want to hear those if you don't just leave it off now with ios 16
public beta 2 there's a few features i hope that we see that we know about but we haven't
seen really active yet or that they removed apple removed the feature in siri where you can actually
hang up using your voice it was there in previous betas it's not here now hopefully they bring that
back with beta 4 and public beta 2. also we still haven't been able to track orders in apple pay so
if we go into our wallet at the top of the wallet we have orders now i ordered my macbook air using
this using apple wallet and it didn't show up so that programming or code isn't complete yet
hopefully we see that active in beta 4. but that's what i'm hoping for with that update now as far
as bugs and issues in ios 16 public beta some of the bugs i've mentioned before are still there of
course it'll take an update to fix that if we go into our name at the top within settings and under
icloud if we go into passwords and keychains you can see there's a word that's misspelled it says
secularly instead of securely store your passwords so i would expect them to fix this in a future
update there's going to be bugs here and there and of course if you're having issues whether
it be something that's spelling or not make sure you report it in the feedback app as apple needs
to categorize those see what's wrong and then resolve those issues now i've heard from a lot of
you that apps are still crashing whether that be instagram or tick tock i've seen tick tock crash
i've seen instagram crash usually with tick tock if you're sharing something that will crash and
some apps don't work at all certain banking apps and more so those are sometimes problematic and
can be a problem voice dictation continues to be an issue as well as imessage group conversations
for me where the reply box just goes away and then comes back sometimes it's there sometimes
it's not for example on my 13 pro max it's there on the ipad it's not on my computer it's there on
mac os ventura but on the iphone it's there on the ipad it's not and then sometimes it'll just switch
around so that's definitely still an issue setting your wallpaper can sometimes be an issue that was
an issue on the iphone 8 plus a little bit earlier i set this wallpaper and it just went to a black
screen so it looks fine now i had to go back in a couple times go in and customize it and then it
worked but prior to this trying it a couple times it would just be completely black so it would be
nothing on the background at all whether that be the lock screen or home screen also music is
still randomly stopping for some people which can be problematic of course but it is a beta and the
phone is getting still too warm for some people i've heard quite a few reports that it's just
very hot for some people with the current beta so that has to do with processing in the background
the phone will monitor the overall temperature and keep it within range but it still can be a problem
additionally things such as voice over and live captions can be a problem so if you're using
voice over full time you need to use that in your settings so under accessibility if you're using
voiceover full time you may want to hold off to make sure it works properly maybe with beta 2
for the public beta or beta 4 for developers if not and you don't use it it's fine but otherwise
just be aware that it could be problematic also ios 15.6 seems to be quite good for most people
very stable very few issues i'm hearing from most people with the exception of one thing
and that's car play car play continues to be an issue for some people so some people are saying
car play is problematic again for me it's not too much of an issue as i don't use car play too much
however in the comments there was only one person saying that they had an issue with car place so
i'm curious what type of car that is whether it be honda toyota mercedes bmw i'm curious what
vehicles are having this issue as it may not be every make or model now overall battery life for
most people is quite good on ios 15.6 it's been out a few days it's been more than enough time to
stabilize and thanks to cameron for sending this in and you'll see on a 13 pro max he's getting
about seven hours and 52 minutes of screen on time and two hours and five minutes of screen off time
and that's using about sixty percent of his battery pretty good battery life there
today he had six hours and fifteen minutes and nine hours and thirty nine minutes of screen off
time and again used about sixty percent of his battery so twelve to fourteen hours of screen on
time is right where you should be that's great and you can see his most used app was messages
as far as ios 16 battery life that's a little bit different for me it hasn't been great i've
been going to bed at night sometimes with it very low we're at 60 or 59 now let's go into settings
we'll go into battery and you can see my battery health on this device is still 100 again here's
my cycle count based off coconut battery and if we go back to the last 10 days yesterday i used
over ninety percent of my battery or maybe eighty percent of my battery and only had four hours and
seven minutes of screen on time two hours of screen off time today you'll see three hours
and fifteen minutes of screen on time three hours and twenty two minutes of screen off time and 15
used mail even though i wasn't in it and again this is a beta and that's one of the problems with
betas is sometimes they just use a lot of power the same is true mostly on ipad os so on ipad os
you'll see here i've been using it on my 12.9 inch ipad pro we'll go down to battery again
here is my cycle count from coconut battery and if we take a look at yesterday i used 1 hour and
54 minutes of screen on time 52 minutes of screen off time and used only a quarter of the battery
that's actually pretty good but today it was last charged at 9 34 am i've used it 2 hours
and 15 minutes although for some reason recently deleted apps is using a ton of power and we're
down to 88 sometimes it's good sometimes it's not but i definitely find that i charge it just about
every single day and don't use it a whole lot so usually about five or six hours of screen on time
however based off this it would suggest i'd get 10 or so or 8 to 10 but i'm really not seeing
that so i think this is off a little bit and you can see the icon icon for recently deleted apps is
missing as well also performance on the ipad is quite good i really haven't had too many issues
mail is occasionally buggy for me but performance wise it's fine it's nice and smooth with pro
motion and typically other than what i mentioned already hasn't been a problem on ipad most of the
things are problematic on iphone performance wise is quite good as well whether that be the iphone
8 and 8 plus which is the oldest device i can't believe i'm saying that is it doesn't seem that
old to me it's one of my favorite phones the last one with the home button that was a large phone
and so it seems pretty good performance wise whether you're scrolling through different apps
going through different menus and more it seems to be just fine as far as when to expect ios 16
public beta 2 and ios 16 developer beta 4 that should be sometime this week based on what they
did last year that seems to make the most sense typically what we have every year is the public
beta releases alongside a re-release and then two weeks later or so we have the next release
last year with ios 15 they released the public beta on june 30th along with beta 2 re-release
and then on july 14 they released public beta 2 and beta 3. so that's typically what they do
and then the public betas will be the same day or the next day it just varies from year to year
so we can expect probably on tuesday or wednesday we get the public beta we also could get ios 15.7
betas so typically we could have that maybe to fix that issue with the air tag or we could just have
an ios 15.6.1 or both 15.6.1 or 15.7 of course all of that will go until the end of august maybe
early september where we have that release to the public and then we switch over to ios 16.
so typically in mid-september with iphone 14 14 plus 14 pro and 14 pro max that's usually what
we're expecting although again that could change but that's what i would expect this time around
now let's take a look at the youtube community poll and some of your comments so if we go into
youtube you can see here at the time of this video there's 8.9 k votes so 8 900 votes from
this morning nine hours ago thanks to everyone that voted and 143 comments i've read all of
those comments we'll read a few in just a moment but you'll see 58 are using 15.6 currently that's
a huge amount that have updated four percent are on the public beta or beta three only two percent
are on fourteen point eight or older one percent thirteen point seven or older and six percent are
using android typically every week or so there's actually more using android so it looks like eight
percent last time of course we still have a bunch to vote yet but let's go ahead and take a look
at a few of your comments let's take a look at some of the comments i just chose a few randomly
stevie3100 says running ios 15.6 on my 12 pro max battery life has been good and no issues with
performance or connectivity issues with bluetooth or wi-fi 15.6 runs better than 15.5 to me
jared cardona says i'm using ios 15.6 on my iphone 13 pro max it has been running smoothly for me
and battery life has been really good hessian ramundala says ios 16 public beta 1 is quite
stable really enjoying the new lock screen and all the new features some glitches and lagginess
here and there animations are not smooth as before but as a beta it's really improving
only major issue is the battery life my average screen on time shortened by two hours all the
banking apps work for me or are working for me boris berber says using 15.6 on iphone 13 and
it's been pretty great so far performance is still amazing and the battery life seems a bit better
compared to the previous versions no complaint here tai amidi says updated to 15.6 and carplay
is now not working in both cars removing the car from carplay doesn't work which i hadn't updated
and this is where i mentioned earlier i'd love to know what car that is and just to see if it's
common although i've only seen this one comment about it skb says iphone 11 ios 16 public beta
apart from a few banking apps the rest is all good few bugs here and there nothing major just
dave says hi aaron i've been using ios 16 beta 3 on my 13 pro max for me it's had more bugs
than beta 2. the music app continues to crash as well as third party apps not seen previously
such as instagram and youtube just as with ios 15 betas the automations within shortcuts do not run
battery life is not any better for me hopefully we see a significant improvement with the next beta
although my banking app is now working in beta 3. keep up the great work you do
thank you so that's everything with ios 15.6 public beta 1 and beta 3 re-release
of course we're all waiting for those next updates and hopefully we see those very early next week
