Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released ios 15.2 beta 3.
this is available to developers and if apple continues to do what they've been doing
based off beta 1 and beta 2 ios 15.2 public beta 3 will be out tomorrow now it could be out by the
time you're watching this video now this came in 833.8 megabytes that's on my iphone 13 pro max
and it was about the same size of between 600 and 800 megabytes on the iphone 12 pro max iphone 11
and iphone 6s plus that i have here now apple also released ipad os 15.2 beta 3 that i have on
the 12.9 inch ipad pro from 2021 along with watch os 8.3 beta 3 that's available now to developers
and tvos 15.2 beta 3 along with mac os monterey 12.1 beta 3. all of those are available now now
as far as anything new well first let's go ahead and take a look at the build number so we'll go to
settings then we'll go to general and then about you can see the build number is 19c 5044b and with
a b at the end it means we're getting closer to a final release typically we'll have an a and then
we'll have a release candidate and then a final release so we could be a couple versions away
from a final release we'll talk more about when to expect that a little bit later on now as far
as the first new features well there is a modem update in this version so i've been having issues
personally with t-mobile switching between 5g and 5G uc hopefully this corrects that issue however
it will take a few days to know that for sure but there is a modem update for most of the phones
now as far as anything new well the first thing has to do with reminders in reminders if we go
into reminders you'll see that we have tags so we have a list with different tags if we go to
our tags maybe select them highlight another one tap on the three dots in the upper right
and we can now delete the two tags together or we can rename them in a group so we have the option
to delete both or have a bulk delete built into this update so that's something they've updated
now last week i talked about a macro update where it would actually lock the macro for
you in your settings apple has again updated this setting so if we go down to our camera
under camera and we go to the bottom you'll see it now says macro control it says show
camera controls for automatically switching to the ultra wide lens to capture macro photos and videos
in beta 2 you actually had to turn off a toggle here then go up to the top go to preserve settings
and then enable macro control here so they made it a little bit easier now that it's just in one
place down at the bottom they've made it easier so what that means is when you go into the camera
under the camera in photos maybe you bring a photo or bring the camera up close you'll see we have a
little flower down here in the bottom right of the camera that allows us to sort of toggle that and
lock it to macro which makes it really nice much easier to control than it was before apple has had
private relay in beta for a little while and that allows you to hide your ip address well they've
changed some of the naming and the settings so if we go into settings and then we go to
cellular within cellular options at the bottom it says limit ip tracking limit ip address tracking
by hiding your ip address from known trackers in mail and safari when this is turned off icloud
private relay will also be turned off for this cellular provider and so is this looks a little
bit different it has a little bit different naming and thanks to my friend steve moser for helping me
find some of these other things in here and you can see this is what it looked like before with
beta 2 on this same sort of settings page so it looked a little bit different it was private relay
before now it's limit ip tracking so it's a little bit different here the first time i opened fitness
you'll see it popped up with a splash screen it says help improve apple fitness plus and then
you can choose to share your data or don't share your data also there was another splash screen
when i went into my notifications and tapped on an item that i left behind with find my
and it showed up and said two devices were left behind these devices were left behind it gives me
the location and time i'm not sure where that is but it says notify when left behind lets you know
every time you separate your items or device and so you can hit continue or not i haven't seen this
pop up before maybe some of you have but they have made a change in find mine so if we go into find
by on the left i have beta 2 and on the right i have beta 3 and on beta 3 they've reverted back to
where it just says identify found item under the items tab below your items so before with beta 2
it said help return lost items or items that can track me where you could find air tags that might
be placed on you or nearby and you are able to identify those that has been reverted back to what
it was with ios 15.1 where you could just identify found items so hopefully they bring this back or
some sort of version of this but they've made that change or reverted it to what it was before
within photos if you go to a memory and you tap on the memory we'll just pause it for now within the
memory in the upper right is three dots for your settings if you tap on that i now have an option
for short medium or long with the previous beta it just said custom and that didn't make a whole lot
of sense and i've seen this on other people's phones and all of the devices here as well
and so you can change what you want as far as the play length of the memory and if you go into the
grid view we'll go to the grid view and tap the three dots in the upper right again and maybe
change it to long it adds some photos to it if i go back and change it to medium again it adds
photos now if i remove something from that memory that doesn't make sense hide from memory now what
it does is gives you the option for custom so you have custom short medium or long and then you can
adjust it as you'd like so again you can make it whatever you'd like and it reverts to a memory
that might suit whatever length you're trying to reach so that's something that i found that's new
i hadn't seen that before the only other thing i could find that they've updated is within the code
and it's sort of for the core framework where they've updated the case for the airpods 3 as well
as the new beats fit so those have been updated to be represented properly within the os and i'm no
longer seeing the odd text down here at the bottom that was a bug for a lot of people so it looks
like it's working properly the case is showing and the earbuds are showing or airpods 3 are showing
properly within battery there's a new setting that applescoop found that shows if you have a battery
that's not an apple battery it will say unknown part prior to this it just said service needed
so this is something that's been updated as well now in ipad os there's a feature that was there
in beta 2 but i never mentioned it so if you go into your settings and under settings you go to
general then you go to gestures under gestures you can now allow your finger to swipe from the corner
this was found by i speed test os and if you turn this on you can now create a screenshot just by
swiping in from the corner prior to this this was something you could only do with the apple pencil
so they've updated that in ipad os as far as the rest of the different features it's basically the
same as everything else in ios as well as far as resolved issues there are no known resolved
issues at least that are mentioned in the notes so apple has not specified anything that they've
resolved in this update that doesn't mean they haven't fixed things such as the storage bug
many people told me that was resolved when it came to beta 2 where it fixed the storage bug
for many people and yes this does take a little bit of time to load some people were asking me
that as well sometimes storage can take a while to load but in general it seems like
it's working okay you'll see ios is taking up 9.2 gigabytes and system data is 1.99 gigabytes for me
most people are reporting that beta 2 fixed it and hopefully if it didn't beta 3 will as well
now as far as any other resolved issues there's nothing else mentioned but there are some known
issues that apple mentioned there's five known issues and the issues that they've said are the
same issues from beta 2 where streaming in the music app could result in a higher cpu usage which
in turn would reduce battery life for some people or create more battery drain also users who import
a verifiable vaccination record still may not be able to import that directly into your wallet app
so there's still some bugs they're working out we still have a few more betas to go probably
and this seems to be much more stable so far but let's first take a look at battery life so
we'll go over to battery and battery health is 100 on this device it's a newer device so that
i i would expect that and so far today i've had four hours and eight minutes of screen on time
three hours and 38 minutes of screen off time and i've only used about 40 percent of my battery
if we take a look at yesterday on beta beta 2 it was a little bit less with 2 hours and 52 minutes
of screen on time 5 hours and 40 minutes of screen off time and i used almost 40 45 percent of my
battery so maybe this updates better it usually will take a few days to know that for sure though
as far as performance performance does seem to be very smooth i noticed when switching between
apps on the 13 pro max that it did seem to be very smooth this is the first time loading
music on the 6s plus and i use this as sort of a benchmark because it's a little bit older phone
and typically seems to be nice and nice and smooth or not based off of what the update is doing
so it looks to be okay just going into the app library and swiping back and forth if we go into
minecraft i did load that and again i use this as sort of a benchmark to see where we're at
we'll give it a moment here and it's loading nice and quickly we'll resume the game and this
definitely seems like it resumed faster than last time with beta 2. so they may be changing
some things with performance in the background there's definitely good frame rate it seems nice
and smooth last time it lagged a little bit as well so that's a good sign things do seem to be
a little bit better there now i did run initial benchmarks on this using geekbench 5 and you
can see it scored 1725 for single core 4704 from multi-core if we take a look at the history here
you'll see with today november 16th and previously we have a little bit better score for single core
and a little bit less by one for multi-core and that was running this right after updating so
that's actually pretty good usually it will improve after a couple days and let's take a
look at all the rest of the devices from left to right we have the ipad pro 12.9 from 2021
then the iphone 6s plus then the iphone 11 then the iphone 13 pro max and again these were run
right after installing the update and it seemed to do pretty well as far as that goes for general
benchmarks just running them right after updating now as far as the overall temperature of the back
i did notice right after updating my 13 pro max got very warm now it's not overly hot it
just was warming up around the processor and it's slightly warm now and that's typical when i have
it under bright lights like this and the screens kept on but it's not overly hot it definitely is
about the same as before and that could mean that we're not going to have excessive battery drain so
hopefully they've fixed that issue or will fix that issue with music streaming causing that
but it seems to be okay so far and it's not overly warm and that's true of any of these devices here
as well now as far as when to expect ios 15.2 to release to the public while i'm a bit surprised we
haven't had ios 15.1.1 already since we've already had the release of tv os 15.1.1 and also homepod
os 15.1.1 typically apple releases things together and this time they didn't so it's possible we
could still see that this week or just not at all but i do expect apple to release ios 15.2 beta 4
as soon as next week it seems like we're on a weekly cycle usually when we get to beta 3 beta 4
is it turns into weekly then maybe a release candidate at the end of november or early
december and maybe they'll release a final before the christmas holiday or holiday season in general
if they don't release it before then typically it would be next year but hopefully we'll get some
sort of update release to the public before everyone takes some time off for the holiday
but that's typically what apple does i would expect them to do the same thing this year but
again they've been changing things up so you just never really know now that leads me to should you
install ios 15.2 beta 3 and of course if you're on beta 2 then absolutely however if you're on
ios 15.1 and wondering if this will solve battery life issues or bugs i typically recommend against
that since this is a beta and will have issues and the idea is to figure out whether there's problems
and then report them in the feedback app to help apple out and help them figure out what's going on
with millions of phones so typically you can try it out i don't know that i'd necessarily put it on
your main device but if you are going to do that make sure you have a backup and also make sure you
have a computer if you need to revert back to the public version later on hopefully you won't have
that issue but if you do you'll at least have a backup there available otherwise i wouldn't
recommend trying it out so that's it if you found anything else in ios 15.2 beta 3 i'd love to hear
from you in the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like
