hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and iOS 16.0.3 and iOS 16.1 beta 5 been out for a few
days to developers and public beta testers and I wanted to talk about the overall experience
as well as your experience based off the YouTube Community poll where at the time of this video
there's over 13 000 votes and almost 300 comments I've read all of those comments to give you the
best understanding of how these updates are and whether or not you should install them but first
before we talk about that and the comments at the end of the video let's first talk about some new
features and refinements with iOS 16.1 Apple's really been refining the dynamic Island there's
still some issues with it on the latest phones but the dynamic Island ring color went on a dark
wallpaper actually changes color based off of what you're in that's something I haven't seen pointed
out elsewhere so if we change the actual wallpaper we'll just change over to the Moon one here we'll
go to this wallpaper and maybe we go into music if we just play a song swipe home you'll see it
goes to the dynamic Island and it's outlined this outline actually changes color depending
on what you're in and what you're doing so if I was to place a phone call and if I call Apple and
swipe home you'll see that the outline is actually green I've seen this actually change dynamically
depending on what you're doing and thanks to Fresco for sending this along he was able to get
it to show up in YouTube also of course in phone calls and also in Twitter so that's something that
looks like it's popping up for different people showing the outline of the associated app and
its color I've only seen this a few different times but it's something that they keep updating
now also when you see something in the dynamic Island you can swipe and shrink it out of the way
so you'll see the dynamic island is sort of gone with what's in there swipe again the other way
it brings it back up so this is something again I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere swipe toward it
and it shrinks the dynamic Island whatever's up there away swipe back out and it brings it back
so that's one of the refinements in this update now if you're in an area with a connected Apple
TV you'll actually see that in the dynamic Island as well so if we go into the remote app we'll just
tap to play I'll go home you'll see it shows up here so I have this at my home Apple TV and if
we tap on this of course we have controls for it so they've refined this they've also refined the
remote with different volume buttons and more so this has actually been updated and I think it's
much better than what we had before so it's great to see that and now we have more control and more
features of the dynamic Island now if we go into settings go down to General under General go down
to legal and Regulatory app Apple has just refined what it says here to bring it up to date with the
latest legal rules and regulations so that's something that's actually been updated compared
to Beta 4. that's a pretty small update and also to go along with that thanks to my friend Brahm at
techrender he sent this over you can see when he was agreeing to the terms and conditions for the
update it actually gives them the option to send by email so that's something that's new if you
want a whole copy to be sent by email you can do that then you can read the whole thing if you want
to see what they've changed if you look into that so that has been updated in beta 5. Now Beta 5
does not have a bunch of changes compared to Beta 4. it's more of a refinement and getting things
ready for a public release we're still waiting for satellite connectivity on the latest iPhone
14 series and there should be a whole demo section for that eventually under cellular so we'll be
able to try that out as soon as maybe the release candidate or the final release hopefully they
enable it by then also something Apple announced this week is Apple Card Wallet daily cash so
you'll see apple card will soon let users grow daily cash rewards while saving for the future so
this is something where you'll have a high yield savings account from Goldman Sachs this is coming
soon they announced it this past week and should be available hopefully fairly soon so if you want
to use that as your savings account you can do that otherwise of course you can keep whatever
you're used to using now for those of you using iOS 16.0.3 this is pretty good overall but there
are some mixed results specifically many people say it has great battery life and few if any bugs
that's not a hundred percent true for everyone but the majority of people have told me that they've
had great battery life based on the comments and again we'll read some of those toward the end of
the video but most say it's pretty good and fairly bug free there's still some for a few people but
mostly things going on in the background if you're having poor battery life such as the photos app
I've seen people say the photos app is syncing and that can take a few days that actually can take
a week or more or depending on how many photos you have what your overall connection status is
with speed through Wi-Fi and also if it's on the charger or not so a lot of those things can factor
in but most people say things are nice and fast such as the cameras it fixes that going through
different apps opening music or anything else seems to be very fast for most people so going
back in waiting for it to load promotion is nice and fast no real big complaints with 16.0.3 as far
as the things it's fixed there's still things that remain though as far as iOS 16.1 beta 5 well it's
mostly solid for me but there are definitely still some bugs so it has decent battery again we'll
check that in a moment there's some odd cellular issues for some people where their Cellular
Connection just completely drops away and then they have to reboot to get it back I've heard this
from multiple people and it's something that keeps showing up time and time again with this beta so
people have actually mentioned that also if you're using YouTube If we go into one of my videos and
then you're using picture in picture some people see this just completely crash so YouTube picture
and picture is not working well for everyone some of the sizing is weird I noticed sometimes swiping
it off the screen is odd that could just be an app update from YouTube though but that's something
people have reported I still have stutter when swiping home so if I go into an app like this
we'll go ahead and play this song again let's see how well it works swipe home it worked fine
that time anytime I try and show it on screen it seems to be nice and fast but typically it's sort
of laggy for me most of the time I'll go into it and it will just stutter as I swipe home so I've
seen that over and over and it's something that I continue to see for whatever reason sometimes
it shows up sometimes it doesn't the day after I installed beta 5 my phone completely rebooted
I just looked over I tapped a couple buttons looked over and it completely rebooted and it
wasn't a restring it was a full reboot so it shut off rebooted and it took a little bit of
time so there's some odd bugs in this still for sure also another thing you'll see is the search
button at the bottom just says s-e-a so where on the iPhone 11 it says search I found that
my font automatically resized the overall text and everything for some reason all the all of a sudden
I looked over and my text had changed then those things occurred so I've tried to reboot it seems
to be staying now so that's something I'm seeing it's kind of an odd bug but I'm actually seeing
this still on this device so that's something I had to go back into my settings go to my display
change the text size fix this and get it back to what it was so it was really odd that that
happened I've also seen an odd bug where my media player on the lock screen was overlapping the
daily summary and the media player was blank it was showing the waveforms but the album art and
everything else wasn't showing so there's some odd bugs still here and there and some misalignments
for some people on the dynamic Island and here's one of the bugs with Dynamic Island I just closed
out of music and it didn't clear off the dynamic Island so you'll see here now it went back in and
loaded it now it's playing again but the music's playing if I pause it here swipe home now it's
working now there's also issues with airpods Pro 2 with syncing properly this is something
quite a few people have been mentioning where in different scenarios whether you're watching TV or
something else the audio seems out of sync with the airpods I would imagine the latest update
will fix this of course we had a beta update a week and a half or so ago at this point and
that may have resolved that for some issues but I still see this reported so I think there's a sync
issue that Still Remains and also if you want to know what that update is you do need to be a
developer I have them on my first gen airpods Pro but we'll give that a second to connect and if we
go back over to the menu here you'll see they're connected if we go to the bottom you'll see the
version is 5b40c that's the latest beta update but you do need to be a developer connect to xcode and
enable the developer mode you can do that here in different third-party tools but that's something
I don't ever do I go directly into the Apple official tools so enable the developer mode
and was able to see the actual update so that's something that I hope will be resolved I would
expect along with an update for this an update for airpods soon to fix those issues now as far as
overall performance well on the public version of 16 1.0.3 really no issues here or there that most
people are saying like I said before the camera is opening nice and fast where it had problems before
going into things like music is nice and fast if you're just going into any app in general it
seems to be nice and quick as you would expect whether that's Fitness or anything else I have
an open Translate in a while you'll see here I reset this device and everything's just nice
and fast as you would expect so no issues there I really haven't heard many issues about 16.0.3 as
far as performance from anyone and that's pretty much true for 16.1 beta 5 as well other than the
different stuttering I showed you or talked about earlier so there's definitely some odd
issues here and there but performance overall seems to be all right I did run benchmarks on
this device just to see how it's going after a few days we'll let it load here just a moment seems to
load pretty slow on this device for some reason just the 14 pro Max and the 14s but you'll see
here I ran it today and we have a single course score of 1871 multi-core is 5484. so multi-core
has gone up significantly since the initial test of this when it came out and it's actually about
the same for single core it's actually one point slower which isn't anything to really look at so
in general it seems to be performing as you would expect normally I'm just looking for
very different numbers maybe a thousand off or something like that I haven't noticed an issue
I've also not noticed really any heating issues so the phone is staying nice and cool for me on
the beta 16.0.3 people are saying the same thing it's very cool to the touch unless I just run
something intensive like geekbench then it will cool right down it's completely normal to heat up
when charging the battery batteries get warm when charging or if you're playing an intensive game
Call of Duty or pubg or something else that will warm up the phone there's no fans in here so it
will make it a little bit warm and if you've ever seen a gaming PC they're liquid cooled many times
the one I have is and it dumps a ton of heat into the room it's completely normal for processors to
get hot when under heavy use but it really hasn't gotten excessively hot as far as overall battery
life I wanted to share that with you so we'll go into settings we'll go down to battery here
of course this being a 14 pro Max I'm at 100 but my other device is at 98 after a year and you'll
see here yesterday wasn't great 2 hours and 34 minutes of screen on time 5 hours and 39 minutes
of screen off time and I use 75 percent of my battery some background activity running podcasts
and more it really varies greatly depending on who you ask so the day before 2 hours and
31 minutes and then screen off time was 3 hours and 26 minutes or screen idle as they say now now
let's take a look at Cameron's battery life who he sent this in and had a much different result now
we actually sent that over on our telegram server we also have Discord so if you want to check those
out those are linked below we have an official version of each of those and you'll see on his
device also a 14 pro Max he had incredible battery life 3 hours and 58 minutes of screen on time one
hour and 40 minutes of screen idle time and used just over 25 percent of his battery meaning he's
easily going to get 12 hours of screen on time or more so that's without charging or anything else I
verified that with him and it seems to be doing very well so it really depends on what you're
doing but most people are saying it's quite good now iOS 16.1 is getting close to a final public
release and I would expect the release candidate this coming week so at this point I would expect
it as soon as probably Monday or Tuesday since we've been getting the updates on Tuesday I would
expect it Tuesday the 18th with a final release the following week it's possible we could see a
beta 6 and then an R RC toward the end of the week but either way I would expect that the last week
of October as that's when we're expecting other releases as well so a final release the last week
of October most likely to go along probably with iPad OS 16 and Mac OS Ventura so we're waiting for
those apple said it'll be here in October based off their website I would expect it to be well at
this point in the last week of October based off of that we could have an Apple event where we see
different iPads and Macs as well or it could just be a press release but either way we need those
updates and again I think it's the last week of October also iOS 16.2 betas would start rolling
out as well so if we have a final release of iOS 16.1 in the last week of October that same week
probably 16.2 beta 1. it's possible they could wait another week until November or so but either
way we can start moving into the next version with updated features and refinements also one thing
I wanted to mention is you'll see here that the overall sort of high lighting marker of calendar
is sort of a square so it's a rounded Square on the other one with the same version it's actually
round I noticed that just as I was looking at this and so that's kind of odd that it's doing that I
didn't change any settings but that could go along with the odd font change or overall size change
that I saw earlier now as far as if you should install any of these updates of course if you
haven't installed iOS 16.0.3 yet I would highly recommend it if you're on any version of iOS 16.
it's a security update along with the previous updates that were released along with some bug
fixes and more if you have an iPhone 14 you definitely want to install it as it fixes issues
with that as well so definitely install that I would hold off on iOS 16.1 betas unless you're
already a beta tester at this point just wait for the final release since we're so close or at least
the release candidate which is typically the final release that you get early as a developer or beta
tester now let's go ahead and take a look at the YouTube Community poll and some of your comments
so we'll go back to community here and you'll see at the time of this video we're still at 13
000 votes but now we're at 307 comments now at this time you'll see 63 percent of you are
on 16.0.3 17 of you are using 16.1 beta 5 9 of you haven't updated to either you're on 16.0.2
or older eight percent are on 15.7 or older and three percent are using something else whether
that's iOS 14 Android or something else so thanks again for voting here and helping us get the most
accurate data possible now let's take a look at some of your comments Avi says iOS 16.1 beta 5
on my iPhone 14 pro Max everything works fine beside the Tesla app which on this beta seems
to have issues with connecting to my car when my phone is in sleep mode have to unlock the phone
to be able to get into the car didn't happen in the previous beta battery life is very good seven
hours of screen active and 16 hours of screen item I actually haven't had an issue at all I've found
better connectivity using test since I do use that for my car I walk up but not ever in sleep
mode once I'm out of sleep mode it's probably not activating that to save some power so I would turn
off sleep mode for that although I'll have to try that out now will says my experience on iOS
16.0.3 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max is that it has not cured many of the problems I had before the copy
paste bug flaky Wi-Fi dodgy typing Etc and this is what I was referring to before some people have a
tremendously great experience other people just have a poor experience it really depends on the
device and many different factors so most people in the comments say it's great but not everyone
Matia said I was having quite poor battery life on my iPhone 13 Pro while using 16.0.2
but as soon as I switched 16.0.3 it started being very good again and I haven't had any
issues with bugs so far definitely happy with it so again different experience on a different phone
Masood said battery life has been great for me on my iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 16 0.1 beta 5 without
any issues and it's been good and by the way love your variety of wallpapers and videos keep up the
great work here thank you Lauren Green said I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max and I noticed battery life
wasn't good at all on iOS 16.0.2 and then when I updated the iOS 16.0.3 I noticed a big difference
yesterday I got the iPhone 14 pro and I've had no problems with iOS 16.0.3 battery life of course
is great with it being a new phone love the new iPhone and iOS 16.3 and thanks for all you do and
so that's everything with iOS 16.1 beta 5 and iOS 16.0.3 expect 16.1 in a couple weeks at this point
that's what it's looking like and hopefully we'll have some new Apple products to check out soon as
well iPads and more so if there's anything else you've found in beta 5 I'd love to hear from you
in the comments below or even something I missed in iOS 16.0.3 let us know in the comments below
