hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released iOS 16.1 developer beta 2. this
is available to developers and soon to public beta testers now this is going to vary greatly in size
for some reason it was 5.25 gigabytes for me on the 14 pro Max I was on beta 1 but I've seen it
generally around 500 megabytes for most people now along with this apple also released iPad OS
16 beta 9 which is also iPad OS 16.1 beta 3 which is a bit confusing also Mac OS 13 beta 8 watch OS
9.1 beta 2 so I need to check that out a little bit more TV OS 16.1 beta 2 and homepod Os 16.1
beta 2. all of those are available now 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 we'll go down to General then about and you can
see here the build number is 20b 505050f and this particular build does have some changes in them
and it also has a new modem update so if you're upgrading from beta 1 to Beta 2 maybe you were
having some issues here and there you should have a modem update thankfully I wasn't having that
issue but I just wanted to point that out today Apple warned about using the haptic keyboard on
iOS 16 as it could use more power and also the iOS 16.0.2 update will probably be out next week
to fix that third-party camera Shake issue Apple mentioned that it should be out next week we'll
talk more about that a little bit later now as far as new features while you may have already noticed
one thing is the battery is actually depleting in the graphic itself as the battery percentage goes
down so you can see that in beta 2 here you can see it on the iPhone 11 we're down to 60 percent
and it's going down in the background that was one of the biggest complaints with this update they
added the battery percentage now it's back and actually adjusts based on the percentage you have
available also if you plug in your phone it's back on the lock screen so let me grab the plug here
we'll plug it in you'll see it'll charge here and if we go to the lock screen give it just a moment
here you'll see if we lock it unlock it you'll see it says 77 percent charged again so I'll show
you that one more time 77 charge the percentage is finally back on the lock screen with iOS 16 beta 2
Apple finally fixed that really annoying bug where you would copy and paste and it would prompt you
every time so if we go into maybe Safari let's see if we copy and paste something here and sometimes
this would work across third-party apps first party apps if we go into notes and paste many
people are no longer seeing that prompt where it will prompt you every time if you want to allow
the pasting option so that has been resolved also I noticed one thing after I airdropped the
wallpaper to my different devices as in this update it looks like shared photo library is
working properly if you go into your photo library and you have it enabled you'll now
see an icon in the upper right tap on that icon and it'll say move to Shared Library so that's
a new option that will show up in all of your photos I don't have it in the previous version
now there's also a few other things I wanted to mention such as Splash screens and some other
changes as well I had a splash screen when I went into notes so you can see that here
on the iPhone 11 just what's new in notes also there was a splash screen in the find
my app talking about findable when powered off find airpods and their case and refreshed map
also I did have one in the translate app but I didn't have it on all my devices so for some
reason it was only showing on some of them now there's some features I missed with beta 1 I
wanted to share as well the first one is you can actually delete the wallet app now we talked about
this earlier on seeing that when iPad OS 16.1 beta 1 released we talked about it in the code
but we didn't see it now we can actually remove the app and it will give us the option to delete
it not just remove it from the home screen so that's something they've actually added in beta
2 maybe maybe to comply with regulatory things around the world we don't really know 100 why
but that's something they fixed also within the weather app if we go into weather we'll give it
just a moment to load within the weather app the map is actually larger in this beta than before so
you'll see the map itself actually takes up more space than it did in earlier versions so with iOS
16 so it just takes up a little bit more space it's a little bit nicer not too much of a big
change but something that's different so those are the new things in iOS 16.1 so far there are a ton
of wording changes throughout but I thought we'd go into detail more as we see more new features in
this update now there are some things that Apple has actually fixed in this update and one of those
is the GPS locations so with the 14 pro and Promax the new iPhone 14s iOS 16.1 beta 1 broke GPS on
many apps whether that's Google Maps or some other apps that actually broke GPS altogether
it just wouldn't locate properly that has been resolved also if you use WhatsApp so if you're
using WhatsApp and you try to send a photo in beta 1 it would crash the app now that's working
so it looks like something Apple had to fix not necessarily WhatsApp also I saw someone on Reddit
mention that the stuttering they were experiencing in Pokemon go is now fixed on the 14 pro Max and
it looks like those things have been fixed however there are a few things that are still showing up
so one of the issues I have is with the 14 pro and pro Max we now have a new startup and shutdown
sound that is not working for me on my 14 pro Max that's running the betas so if you go into
accessibility you'll see a new Option here if we scroll down and we go to audio slash visual you'll
see that we have power on and off sounds with this turned on it doesn't make a sound when I turn it
off so if I power it off here and we Slide the power off there's no sound I can feel it vibrate
so there's haptic feedback but it doesn't make a sound however on my 13 or 14 pro rather getting
used to those new names if I power it off you'll hear the sound so let me do that power it off here
and you can hear the sound as it Powers off now let me have you hear the sound when it
actually powers on now we'll power both of these on and the 14 pro Max again should not
make any sound so nothing there if I power on the 14 pro with the non-beta software
you can hear that there's actually a sound while it's powering on so for whatever reason it's not
resolved in this beta it's a problem for me I don't know if everyone's experiencing it but
I definitely am on this phone now as far as the overall notes there's other things mentioned there
that are fixed as well in Apple's feedback app you can access them publicly and I'll link them
in the description but if we go to the release notes you can see here they've fixed quite a few
things related to matter accessories so they've fixed pairing to pair matter accessories a profile
first must be installed on your device you no longer need to do that also removing Apple home
from the matter accessory connected Services menu and home doesn't remove the accessory tile that's
been resolved and you may be unable to parameter accessory if the accessory is already paired to
a third-party ecosystem again all things that have been resolved however there's still some
known issues regarding Wi-Fi when pairing matter accessories with some workarounds adjusting the
color or color temperature might result in unexpected colors set on a matter accessory
so they're still having some issues with matter accessories overall and then if we scroll down
there's a memory allocation known issue it says the system memory allocator free operation zeros
out all deallocated blocks in iOS 16.1 beta or later invalid accesses to free memory might
result in new crashes or corruption including null pointer deferences and non-zero memory
being returned to Kellogg or caloc and so those things are actually a problem still not a big
deal mostly developer focused but something I wanted to mention again there's resolved issues
and more but not a whole lot more these are the entire notes list so if you want to check those
out I'll link them in the description as far as overall performance performance and promotion
for me is super smooth I really don't notice a difference here it seemed fine on beta 1
for me as well but many people are saying it's very smooth I have my Discord server Linked In
the description along with my telegram server and people there discussing saying that iOS 16.1 beta
2 is very very smooth they're at least noticeably smooth so some good discussion there if you want
to check it out of course like I said it's linked in the description on older devices I did try out
a couple games and on the iPhone 10 as you can see here I went into Real Racing 3 just to see
if it would load and we'll see how RAM management is as it loads here you'll see it's loaded and
seems to be working fine I loaded this probably a half hour ago and it was able to resume without a
problem however there are some stutters here and there so you can see it stuttered a little bit
some frame rate drops but again it is a beta and seems to be okay overall now I did run benchmarks
on the 14 pro Max and it was a little bit lower since I ran it right after installing the update
but you can see here if we give it a second to load geekbench we'll go into the history and
you'll see for today I had 1 880 for single core for 5237 for multi-core and if we go back to the
history you can see before it was a little bit higher with beta 1 but that was after it had been
installed and running for a few days so it's very close seven points for single core 170 or so 160
or so for multi-core again that can vary a couple hundred back and forth really it seems very fluid
and fast as far as battery life overall while we are using betas so that will make a difference and
it will take a few days to know for sure of course we have battery health and charging now not just
battery health and of course being the new phone it's 100 capacity if we go to the last five days
you can see yesterday I used three hours and 19 minutes of screen on time one hour and 37 minutes
of screen off time and had about 45 usage so it's actually pretty good but I would expect it to get
a little bit better some people are complaining on the non-beta software that they're having issues
as well again today 2 hours and 33 minutes of screen on time two hours and three minutes of
screen off time the home and lock screen this may be the active or always on display using
battery it seems to use about a percent an hour or so but I only used about 25 to 30 percent of
my battery so it's doing much better today now as far as iPad OS 16.1 beta 3 we'll just call it that
even though Apple's giving it odd names it seems to have the same sort of features it's nice and
fast and fluid no issues here and battery life overall has been okay with the previous beta but
it's still not what I would expect and of course we'll have new iPads probably in October now as
far as if you should install iOS 16.1 beta 2 if you're trying to resolve an issue I would
probably hold off however if you have a secondary device or you know that you could have bugs and
have crashes well then you could definitely try it out but it does seem to be pretty stable at
least in the past hour or two that I've been using it so it seems fairly safe safe but make
sure you have a backup and a way to restore using a Mac or Windows computer otherwise if you have a
problem you'd have to bring it into Apple now also Apple has said that they're going to release a new
update next week to fix the camera Shake issue with the iPhone 14 models within different apps
such as Instagram and Snapchat many people were seeing very shaky camera response I wasn't able
to replicate that some people are actually saying that it's resolved after a reboot but it still
doesn't seem to be fixed in this update however it does seem to be fixed for some people but apple is
going to fix it with a public release next week so I would probably wait for that if you have a
newer phone and you're waiting for some bug fixes I probably wouldn't update to the beta just to try
that out and see if it resolves issues for you as far as iOS 16 beta 3 at this point I would expect
it to be next week and the reason I say that is the overall release of iOS 16.1 is probably
in mid-october so probably beta 3 next Tuesday or could be Monday to Wednesday anytime time in that
time frame and then maybe an RC shortly after that we could have beta 4 and even beta 5 but maybe an
RC with a final release in October it depends when that Apple October event will be for the
iPads and Mac as Apple has said iPad OS 16 and Mac OS Ventura will be out in October so that's
when I would expect iOS 16.1 however they've been changing up the build numbers and everything else
lately with the overall beta releases so that could vary greatly but either way we can expect
those releases fairly soon now of course this Friday we're going to have new Apple products so
we'll have the new airpods Pro second generation So airpods Pro second generation come out at
249 it should be available on September 23rd and then also the new Apple watch Ultra however that
seems to be very sold out so depending on when you order it it could be very late it could be October
could be November so if we order this one here you'll see if we scroll down and we select large
doesn't matter which one you select it's pushed out to October 26 to November 2nd
so if you didn't get your pre-order in the day they actually announced them and released them
that was the same day as the event you may not get them until October or November but either
way technically they release on Friday Also to go along with Apple watch Ultra is Apple has
added new apps to the Apple Watch app store depth and siren these are specific to the Apple watch
Ultra where you can measure depth maybe if you go scuba diving you can see those here so those
are available now for free but again you'll need an Apple Watch Ultra to support it but they've
shown up so that's everything with iOS 16.1 beta 2. of course if I find anything else I'll be sure
to do a follow-up video with more features on the weekend and we'll see what it's like for everyone
overall if you've found anything else I'd love to hear from 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
