hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.1.1
Beta 3 to developers now by the time you're watching this it could be out to
public beta testers if it's not it'll be later today or usually the next day or
so this came in at 140.1 megabytes on my iPhone XR and XS Max now
depending on which phone you're on it's going to be anywhere from 60 to 150
megabytes depending on which device you're on let's take a look at the build
number the build number is 16C5050a and usually when we have that a on the
end it means we're getting closer to the final build so we might see another beta
it's hard to say at this point now I did take a look at the storage I didn't see
any gains across any of these devices with storage or anything like that and
actually the notes don't really say anything new about this particular beta
so there's definitely probably some refinements or some security fixes
things like that but Apple has not specified what they've changed however
this update overall brings an update to the FaceTime you I have shown that in
previous beta versions and also those eSIM options and watch icons across the
OS so maybe you were gonna share a photo here that was just a photo there will
share a photo and the watch icons the watch icons look more like the current
series for watch icon now as far as something new I did notice now I know
Siri shortcuts is a thing that's been out for a while I did notice this came
up as a series suggestion when I missed a call said you want to call back I
happened to touched on it and then I could call back so I missed that call
and it was a possibility of returning that call I haven't seen that pop up
previously when I missed a call so while I know Siri suggestions is nothing new
that happened on this particular phone this time now I know some people were
saying they had some issues with do not disturb I can confirm it's fixed in this
version for sure in fact while I was driving these were updated already it
popped up on every one of these phones so across not just the 10r but the 6s
plus and the 5s and I think I had the X as well they all popped up at least on a
couple of them now as far as the iPad there's nothing new on this
I could find whatsoever unfortunately nothing really specific on that but
there is some changes as well to the haptic touch that I mentioned before if
you push there it will pop open on all your notifications now on a XR
so it feels more like 3d touch on the 3d touch devices such as the X and the XS
XS Max things like that now so far across the devices it does
feel fast I did load minecraft on this one just because last time it loaded
incredibly slow this time well it's refreshing now but this time it actually
loaded and resumed pretty fast right there so the actual speed seems a little
bit better than the previous version now as far as battery life is concerned I've
been using this phone for a couple days I go between a couple different ones
depending on what I'm testing but this particular one let's go to battery and
you'll see battery over the last 10 days you'll see this is when I started using
it again has been ok I'm usually getting about four hours and having 50% of
battery life left after that time so it's pretty good overall I've had no
issues with battery life whatsoever and - no battery for beta3 will take a few
days so I'll be sure to do a followup with that now if you've been following
Apple updates at all Apple did update Final Cut Pro 10 also motion and
compressor got some pretty major updates today so that's good if you use those
apps like I do to edit this video that's what I use and then also on older
devices such as the 6s plus that we have here you'll see the scrolling is smooth
we'll go into the App Store this is the first time I've opened it since its
rebooted and there was a little bit of stuttering there but so far so good so
far that's pretty good 3d touch seems to
work oh and 3d touch or haptic touch is not working on the home screen yet for
the 10r so things like 3d pressing on an app doesn't seem to work so it doesn't
look like they've added anything like that so I did check around all of these
devices to see if there was anything specifically new now if there's
something new for the X I know a lot of you were saying you want to see the X
back well here's the X and we'll be taking a closer look at some of these
some of these options as well as there's new updates throughout but let's take a
look at the Geekbench mountain numbers and see how this
this time around with Geekbench we have four thousand seven hundred and
eighty-eight for single core eleven thousand three hundred and sixty nine
from multi-core this is on the XR and I tested it on this since I have the
most results going back so if we take a look at the history you'll see it
improved a little bit over the previous one you'll see here we're about a
hundred better so maybe one hundred and fifty better from the previous version
on multi-core and about forty better or so on the single core so it's doing
pretty good that way and of course I'll be testing this out over the next few
days to see how battery is in speed and if we get any stuttering but so far it's
working well and I've had no issues especially with beta 2 it seemed much
more stable but I'd love to hear your experience in the comments below
is there any specific device I know a lot of you want to see the seven or
seven plus I'm trying to get my hands on that but I can't put all of those back
in the video at once I do have some of them being tested for other things at
the same time so I don't want to put all of those in the video at once it's just
too many to go over since there's no differences but if there are specific
differences across these devices I will be sure to mention those but let me know
your thoughts in the comments below if you haven't subscribed already please

time
