hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released iOS 16 beta 5. this is available
to developers and hopefully iOS 16 public beta 3 will be out very soon now as you can see it
says 16.0 there is no beta 5 after it but on the website it actually says beta 5 and this
came in at 1.34 gigabytes on my iPhone 13 Pro Max it was about one to one and a half
gigabytes on all the devices here from the iPad Pro iPhone 11 iPhone 8 plus and iPhone 10r now
along with this apple also released iPad OS 16 beta 5 watch OS 9 beta 5 along with TV OS
16 beta 5 homepod OS 16 beta 5 and Mac OS 13 Ventura beta 5. all of those are available to
developers now on all of the supported devices now let's take a look at the build number and
talk about what's new so we'll go to settings then we'll go down to General then about and as
you can see the build number is 20a 5339d this particular update is getting closer to a final
so it should be more stable and we'll talk more about when to expect iOS 16 to release to the
public a little bit later also you can see the modem firmware is 2.09.01 this is an update from
beta 4 which was 2.08.01 now let's take a look at what's new now the first thing that's new is you
may have already noticed the battery percentage is back only unlimited phones though so if we go into
our settings go back to battery under battery you'll see here at the top it now says battery
percentage unfortunately on certain phones that's not available so on the iPhone 11 iPhone 10r and
iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini that's not available for some reason it's not there yet maybe it will
be there in future updates but they've brought it back to everything else so it's kind of odd
that they've done that but at least it's there on some of the phones I know a lot of people have
wanted that also within the battery if we scroll way down toward the bottom you'll see we have a
new section and icon for continuity camera so if you're using continuity camera with Mac OS Ventura
this will actually show how much time it's used you'll see one minute in the background you will
need to connect it for this to show up as well but we have a new icon for it also now if we go into
music and maybe we're playing a song and then we go to the lock screen you'll see we have the lock
screen widget however it has a new waveform here when the music is playing so it actually shows a
waveform and then the album art is maybe slightly smaller when it's in the actual widget but we have
a waveform here if we pause the music the waveform goes away so that's just a small update to the
music widget now also within music if we go into an album there's more information here so from
beta 4 to Beta 5 you can see under the album name it actually says dance 2022 when it was released
and now it's telling us that it has Dolby Atmos and lossless with previous betas it didn't show
that so that's just a small update that's really nice so now you know which one is in Atmos or
lossless also when you go into find my to locate a device so maybe you're trying to locate the iPhone
13 Pro Max there's a new sound so if I go into my Apple watch I'll just locate it under under
find devices we'll play a sound and give it just a moment to connect and it should play a sound
so that's the new sound if you're trying to locate a device it's new to Beta 5. now if we
go into settings and then we go to accessibility under accessibility we have control nearby devices
which isn't new but we have a new icon so we have control nearby devices and Apple watch mirroring
and if we go to settings you'll see here that the icon is actually different for control nearby
devices from beta 4 on the left to Beta 5 on the right it's a slight change and I'm not sure it
better represents control nearby devices I kind of like the old Icon better but let me know what
you think in the comments below now if we take a screenshot and then we go into the screenshot
maybe we want to copy something so we'll just copy this Apple watch mirroring text tap on copy then
we hit done we'll now have copy and delete so we now have the option to copy the text
and then it automatically deletes the screenshot instead of just deleting it so it's a nice little
refinement that they've added with beta 5. now if we go home and then we go to activate emergency
SOS so what we'll do is press the side button five times on both beta 4 and beta 5 1 2 3 4 5.
and as you can see here there's a bit of a bug let me try that again on beta 4 and as you can
see they've changed the wording ever so slightly from emergency SOS to emergency call with beta 5.
so it's just a small wording change but something that's a little bit different if we bring in air
pods so these are my airpods Pro let them connect I'll just take one out of the case here once it's
connected to your device of course you're already familiar with the new dialog that shows up or
the little settings option will make sure they're connected once they're connected we've got our new
settings Pane and down at the bottom you'll see we have the version number tap on version and we
now have a separate settings menu so it shows the version and the case firmware before it was just a
single little version number here you could tap on it and see the case separately now it's actually a
separate pane for that I did have a couple users mentioned to me that when they restarted their
phone for the first time it actually asked them to unlock your sim it asked for them to put in
their SIM PIN or they could skip it so this is something people are seeing if they have a SIM
set for cellular data not everyone has it I don't have it set but if you do you will have
this option pop up also if you go into automatic updates so we'll go back here we'll go to General
and then software updates you'll see first of all the font is a little bit Bolder with the
software update and if we go into automatic updates it's spaced a little bit differently
this is a very small change of course but I just wanted to point it out as it's something
I noticed when I went into automatic updates so beta 4 on the left beta 5 on the right now
there's also some new Splash screens as well so the first time you go into photos you should see
a new splash screen pop up you'll see it says what's new in photos shared Library copy and
paste edits and merge duplicates we also have a new splash screen in maps so if we go into that
give it just a moment there and we have a splash screen with some new icons that say multi-stop
routing Transit cards and landmarks also if we go into the home app we have one also so if we
go into home and I may have already opened it on this device let's go into it on the iPhone
8 here so you'll see within home on the iPhone 8 plus I hadn't opened it before we have new home
categories your home at a glance control with your home or control your home with a tap and
multi-camera view also if we go into find my we should have one as well and within find my you'll
see that it says what's new and find my findable when powered off find my network for AirPods and
refreshed map so that's something new in beta 5. now there's also quite a few code changes
throughout we're still discovering that I've been working with Steve Moser on that and also finding
different code changes for wording throughout the OS whether that be the health app and other
places as well now within iOS 16 beta 5 and iOS 16 public beta 3 there's a bunch of resolved and
known issues as well if we go into the feedback app go under recent active then under the notes
for beta 5 you'll see we have some resolved issues the first one says users can experience
slow animations when using Zoom after leaving the magnifier app that's been resolved in beta 5. so
that's something that's new there's also known issues as you can see here there's 11 known issues
the pointer won't behave correctly on an external display if the Assistive Touch accessibility
feature is enabled disable it while using an external display so again if we continue down
you'll see under carplay Wireless carplay can fail to connect that's actually been resolved in beta
5 deleting clock inadvertently deletes the Sleep alarm that's been resolved as well so a bunch of
fixes in here not a hundred plus fixes like we had with beta 4 but a bunch of bugs have been resolved
this time around and that leads me to should you install iOS 16 beta 5 and at this point it
will take a few days to know how it is over beta 4 but if you're already a beta tester definitely
install it if you're not already you may want to hold off a few days until I have a follow-up and
I talk more about if it's fairly stable or not as beta 4 definitely had some issues here and there
as far as the storage issues or any other bugs it will take a few days to know if there's any bugs
remaining in this so storage we do have iPhone storage for health that I pointed out with beta
4 so we'll give it just a moment to load and as you can see as we scroll down all the way to the
bottom system data more and more people are asking me about this I wouldn't worry about this at all
as this is sort of system cache the only time I'd worry about this is if it's using up data that you
can't actually install a new app because there's too much otherwise you really should ignore it and
that's why it's buried down at the bottom so it's something that Apple uses in the background as
they need more storage here and there to different with different things such as cash you'll see I
have 44 gigabytes in use that will decrease over time but since I don't need it I'm not really
worried about it now as far as iOS 15.7 many people have been asking me about this so I thought
I'd mention it iOS 15.7 could be just a single release that comes in September last year Apple
released iOS 14.8 and that was released in sept member without any betas so they definitely could
do something similar this year but maybe have a small fix in between with iOS 15.6.1 if so they
could have security updates but don't expect any major features or changes there just compatibility
with maybe some new changes with IOS 16. as far as iOS 16 public beta 4 and iOS 16 beta 6 for
developers at this point I would expect weekly releases until the release candidate and final
release in September many people think the next Apple event either will be in the first or second
full week of September many people think around this the 13th and it will be a virtual event with
minimal media there as well similar to WWDC so I would expect iOS 16 to release sometime in
mid-september around the iPhone 14 14 plus 14 pro and 14 pro Max and Apple watch then iPad OS later
in October that's what many people are saying at this point last year we had beta 5 on August 10th
then beta 6th on August 17th so at this point I would expect weekly betas from here on out until
the final release also this would have some security updates in it although Apple doesn't
share those with us until the final version is out as far as iPad OS 16 beta 5 as far as anything new
it's all the same it's iOS at this point and if I find anything new I'll be sure to share that
with you but basically it's the same thing at this point all of the changes carry over now as
far as battery life many people ask me to check that and how it's been going but typically this
takes a few days to know how it's going if we go to settings I shared a little bit of that earlier
go down to battery battery health is now at 99 it's finally dropped for me so it's typically at
100 now it's finally dropped after using this as my main device for a year and then also over the
last 10 days you'll see here yesterday I had an hour and seven minutes I kind of took the weekend
off so last Friday I had four hours and 9 or 29 minutes of screen on time 2 hours and 25 minutes
of screen off time used about 50 to 60 percent of my battery it's getting me through a day but it's
not phenomenal hopefully this one is much much better as far as overall performance so far it
seems to be okay on the iPhone 11 and 8 plus I really had no issues I've been looking for new
features and things like that but if we go into music we'll go into music for the first time
on the eight plus I didn't have it open on that before but I did have it on the 11 looking for new
features scrolling in smooth going into different apps is smooth I'm trying to swipe on the eight
plus and everything seems to be okay so far but I always say let's give it a few days and we'll
run the geekbench scores then as they're typically going to take a few days to know what everything
is like also as far as iPhone overheating or the phone getting hot it's been surprisingly cool this
entire time typically it's a little bit warmer and again I'll show more about that with the
FLIR thermal camera in the follow-up video but so far it's actually been quite good with beta
5 over using it for the past couple of hours if you've found anything else though I'd love to
hear from you in the comments below and of course I'll link this wallpaper in the description like
