hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 15.5 beta 3.
this is currently available to developers and hopefully soon by the time you're watching this
video to public beta testers as well although it may be out tomorrow like they did with beta 2 it
came out the day after the developer beta now as you can see the size of this is 683.8 megabytes
that's on my iphone 13 pro max it was between 500 to 600 megabytes on all the devices you see here
along with this apple also released ipad os 15.5 beta 3 watch os 8.6 beta 3 tv os 15.5 beta 3 mac
os 12.4 beta 3 and a couple other updates as well if you have a new apple studio display there's now
a 15.5 beta version out to fix the issue with the webcam but you need mac os 12.4 to see that also
they updated air tags as well so air tags have been updated to version 1.0.391 however there's no
way to force the update it will just update on its own as it's connected to your device so that has
been updated as well now let's go ahead and take a look at the build number and talk about what's
new so we'll go to settings then general then about you can see the build number is 19f5062g
and with this particular update like i said it was a bit unexpected it's a week before i thought we'd
have it but now we have this update and it's not a huge jump from the previous one as far
as build numbers this one does have a new modem update with it so we went from version 1.60.00 to
1.61.00 on the 13 pro max so hopefully that fixes some issues with connectivity i know i was having
issues with it jumping between different cell phones cell phone towers and different signals
so hopefully that's resolved in this update but it will take a few days to know that for sure
now as far as new features in this update well there's not a ton to see here but there's a
few things going on updates to sport have been updated so maybe you're using the new tv feature
where you're watching live sports wait for it to load here if you're watching live sports friday
night baseball major league baseball there's some new updates that allow for things such as
the strike count ball count and also pitch count to be shown on the display and also an
ability to start from the beginning when you're watching a live production or a live game and it
will actually start from the beginning or you can jump back to what's live so those buttons will be
available in beta 3 but you need a live game for that to be shown so if you go into your baseball
and you're watching something live you should see those things in real time now there's some
wording changes in the background to quite a few different things different apps and also different
apple accounts but the most striking thing had to do with imessage and the reason i say this is
there's recent european union laws that may take effect that would force the open compatibility
of imessage across other devices not necessarily to have imessage on another device maybe like an
android phone but rather to have them interoperate with maybe rcs messaging however within the code
when you're maybe contacting someone prior to this it would say you can only add people who
are using an apple device now it says you can only add contacts who are using imessage meaning maybe
we'll see this opened up in the future if those laws pass maybe they're getting ready for that
it could be completely not the same thing but that was something i saw that i thought was a
little bit different also there's wording changes in calendar so if you're using apple's calendar
also with apple car key nothing significant as far as that goes this seems to be a bug fix and maybe
a small change update there's not a whole lot going on that's noticeable so last time around
we had some small changes different glyph updates so in safari if you go in safari and then you hit
the share sheet icon they updated the glyph for find on page i shared this in my follow-up video
but this used to just be a magnifying glass now it's a sheet of paper with a magnifying glass
so that's been updated since beta 2 but there's no major changes one other thing i noticed was
font size changes within emergency sos so you can see here where it says sos and the
letters are kind of large on the previous beta they weren't that big so this is a very minor
change and actually reverts back to what we had prior to beta 2. so you'll see sos there
we're talking pixel differences here but sos is actually larger very very small changes with this
update so it's mostly a bug fix change and some wording changes in the background the apple pay
where you can pay from your phone to another phone is not yet active that i can find and there's just
apple cash change throughout where it says apple cash just like it does in messages so in messages
within messages you can see it says apple cash that used to say apple pay that was recently
updated with prior betas and it looks like they're just updating that more and more throughout the os
so it doesn't say apple pay anymore there's a new apple cash logo so small changes here and
there with bug fixes and known in resolved issues as far as airdrop goes seems to be the same or
better than beta2 so if i go into my photos maybe we'll airdrop this screenshot of the actual update
so we'll share this out and airdrop it and maybe we'll air drop it to the ipad pro here and let's
see how quick it is so it was pretty instant and it says sent prior to this sometimes it wouldn't
say send so it looks like that's been resolved and much faster and as far as the storage bug is
concerned if we go to general and then storage or iphone storage let it load for just a moment we'll
give it just a minute here let it load it did load earlier it does seem to be taking a little
bit longer than it did with beta 2 at least this time around this is the second time i've loaded
this on here let's load it on the iphone 8 plus as well and see if it's any different it finished
more quickly on the 8 plus that's probably because there's less data but this is definitely smaller
than before on the 13 pro max so maybe they've resolved it but it definitely seems to load a
little bit slower as far as overheating i know beta 2 that was a big problem for a lot of people
where it seemed overly warm all of the time that doesn't seem to be a problem with beta 3 at least
so far the back of this is barely warm at all whether i'm processing this running benchmarks
or anything else it seems to be much cooler than before so maybe they've fixed that issue overall
as far as the notes and resolved issues and known issues well the notes are exactly the same
if you go into the feedback app you can see those here and we'll wait for it to refresh they haven't
updated it here but they have updated it on the developer website with beta 3 notes however
they're the exact same notes that we have in here with beta2 so that means one resolved issue and 11
known issues and now it looks like it's completely gone now we'll take a look at battery life and
performance in benchmarks in a moment but that leads me to should you install ios 15.5 beta 3
if you're already on beta 1 or beta 2 definitely install it and then provide feedback as needed to
help apple make the product a little bit better make the os more stable and more maybe usable
maybe some new feature suggestions as well however if you're wanting to solve issues that you might
have with ios 15.4.1 or earlier i don't recommend installing a beta as typically you will have bugs
on a beta and sometimes there'll be battery life that's just not as good or sometimes there'll
just be some random bugs here and there so if you have anything critical that you do on your
iphone i wouldn't recommend installing it however if you have a backup you have a computer to maybe
downgrade if you need to you could definitely do that as far as battery life well this will
take a few days to measure for sure you have to use it full time for a few days to know that but
my battery health is still at 100 i charge this every single night put it on the charger when
i'm driving take a look at the last 10 days in my battery yesterday i had 3 hours and 20 minutes of
screen on time 5 hours and 42 minutes of screen off time and used about 50 percent of my battery
my home and lock screen is using a lot as i'm getting a lot of notifications that i need to
customize and turn off of course i'm on twitter a lot so that's using quite a bit but battery life
has been okay i haven't really noticed it being any less when i go to bed about 50 at night but
the overall numbers do not look that good here with beta 2. so we'll see what it's like with beta
3 over the next few days as far as performance it seems to be about the same whether that's on this
device the iphone 8 plus or any other device i've used i've had no complaints of performance across
any of the devices from most people so that did take a second to move over to the app library
there but i've had no complaints with beta 1 or beta 2 as far as performance performance seems
to be pretty good i did run benchmarks though and they do seem to be a little bit lower this time
now i'll run them again on the follow up video but benchmarks for the 13 pro max i want to share with
you and you'll see i actually ran this twice because i wanted to see if i got any different
score for single core i had 1741 for multi-core ad 4665 that's actually quite low compared to the
previous version or the previous time i ran it so you can see it actually was run three times
and prior to that it was a little bit higher on saturday when i actually did the follow-up so
it's definitely a little bit lower this can improve over the next few days we'll have
to wait and see what it does now as far as any future public versions i was a bit surprised we
didn't have an ios 15.4.2 today we could see that within the next few days but a few weeks ago apple
stopped signing ios 15.4 that means you can no longer downgrade to it and usually within two to
three weeks we'll have a public version that will usually fix bugs and then add security updates and
usually we'll have just small updates and then we'll have more significant updates with ios 15.5
so if we don't see an update this week from apple maybe they'll just wait until ios 15.5 is done
and then release that to the public so now that we're on weekly betas i would expect a beta every
week until the release candidate which is probably around beta 5 or so beta 6 a release candidate and
then a public release usually by the end of may before we get to wwdc in june then we'll switch
over to ios 16 beta 1 on june 6th along with ios 15 betas also and then we'll have 15 and 16 betas
all the way until a final release in september if apple continues to do what they normally do
so that's what you can expect for a lot of updates in the future but it does seem like apple might be
slowing down the overall ios updates for 15 because well we're kind of feature complete
at this point ios 16 is where we should see the next significant releases so we shouldn't really
expect a whole lot from ios 15 anymore other than stability and maybe some battery improvements and
performance otherwise we're pretty much done as far as that goes so that's everything with
ios 15.5 beta 3 not a huge release but some bug fixes and hopefully some significant fixes with
the overall heat storage and more let me know how it's going for you in the comments below and of
course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description like
