hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 16 developer beta 7. this
is available now to developers and ios 16 public beta 5 should be available soon this was released
alongside ipad os 16 beta 7 which is also ipad os 16.1 beta 1 which is a little bit confusing
watch os 9 beta 7 was also released tv os 16 beta 7 home pod os 16 beta 7 were all released now
however we haven't seen mac os ventura beta 7 or even beta 6 so we're waiting for that
now this came in at 336.2 megabytes that's fairly small it was about two to three hundred megabytes
on all the devices here 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 208
5356a this should be the final build before the release candidate so this is the final build
most likely with all of the improvements in bug fixes and is mostly done as far as ios 16 goes
now also i wanted to show you that ipad os 16.1 was released as well and you can see
that now once you install beta 7 by going to your settings again general and then about you can see
it says ipad os 16.1 and has a build number of 20b 5027f so we already have ipad os 16.1
and that confirms that apple is going to delay ipad os until probably a later date just like
they're going to do with mac os ventura probably to october when we have a separate event for ipads
now as far as the modem updates there is no modem update this is the same modem as beta 5 beta 6
and now beta 7. they're all the same so there should be no difference in overall connectivity
with cellular or anything like that but there could be small improvements here and there
now as far as new features well this is complete so now apple has completed development meaning
features are done and now work begins on everything else bug fixes battery life and more
now also i did want to mention that apple music 4.0 was released to android and is now available
and has mention of apple music classical in it so apple has released that to android users so if you
want to check that out you can and then as far as features well the battery percentage unfortunately
is not on older devices so if we take a look at the iphone 10r so the iphone 10r 11 12 mini and
13 mini do not have the battery percentage for some reason so you'll see here there's
just no option for it unfortunately so they're not bringing it since it's feature complete at
this point i probably wouldn't expect it it is on all the other devices though now as far as
new features well if we go into the apple wallet there's an apple car that's no longer available
one of my users in the uk actually sent over a screenshot and you'll see it says apple store or
app store and itunes your balance is now in your apple account use it for purchases from the app
store and other services so if we go into apple wallet we've had this for a while in the us but
it looks like they're going to transition over to an apple account card so that makes a lot of sense
they've done that in the us now they're going to do it in the uk it seems now there's some wording
changes throughout i'll show you one but there's a few here and there if we go into settings go
to our account under icloud photos you'll see on the left is beta 6 on the right is beta 7
it now says store your photos in icloud view and share them on all your devices and on icloud.com
so it's just a small wording change and also there's some wording changes that will pop
up letting you know that if the other person is sharing your icloud photo library down here they
won't be able to use it unless they're on ios 16 or mac os ventura so there will be a warning about
that the first time you set that up now there's additional wording changes throughout and thanks
to steve moser for helping me out with that again there's also some splash screens people are seeing
so if we go back here some people are seeing a new splash screen when opening voice memos
also in opening health some people are seeing that i actually didn't see any of these and
they had confirmed they had the app open before and also one when going into the apple tv app
so some people are seeing additional splash screens i'm actually not seeing it myself like
i said but there are some splash screens for some people now apple has resolved a lot of issues as
well and we'll talk about some of the ones i've been having and then what they've actually said
specifically and so many report that banking apps are now working properly in germany so there's
quite a few people that had issues with banking apps just opening and then they'd crash that seems
to be working also spotlight search seems to be much better so if you're searching for apple you
can see i already did that it searches nice and fast picks that up and has no issue the wallpaper
menu bug is working setting wallpaper seems to be great so if you're switching between wallpaper
customizing changing something everything seems to be much much smoother and faster this time around
so they've really fixed a lot of bugs also music stopping after 15 seconds doesn't seem to be
an issue for many at least so far i've been playing this over and over without any issue
and if you go into the album art they haven't made it any larger this time around but if we shrink
it back down you can see it jiggles a little bit that must be an intended behavior as it does it in
previous betas letting us know it sort of jumps down or jumps up just letting us know there was
an action there so not anything particularly exciting there but a lot of fixes throughout
apple has also said they've fixed some things so if we go into the feedback app we can see that
so we'll give it a moment go into our inbox and you'll see beta 7 release notes here and
one of the things they've fixed is with the ipad the pointer won't behave correctly on external
displays if assistive touch accessibility feature is enabled they've fixed that this time around
there's also some known issues but some other things they've fixed has to do with resolved
issues you'll see here after purchasing a new domain and creating a custom email address
you might be offered to purchase the domain again that's been fixed in this update they've also
mentioned a few known issues and the notable one here is american express cards where they
were just automatically disappearing for people in apple wallet they've acknowledged this and
said that american express cards might need to be removed and re-added to wallet after updating
to ios and ipad os 16 beta 6 or later so they've fixed that they've resolved some other issues and
be sure to check this out if you haven't already and if you're having issues make sure to report
feedback now additionally i do keep getting asked about the storage bug and at this point i would
pretty much ignore it unless it's causing an issue where it's giving you an error that your storage
is full even though it's not that should be fixed but if we go into iphone storage give it a moment
to load you'll see it is using quite a bit of storage here but it's processing a lot in the
background so we'll give it a moment to load and take a look now that it's loaded it did take a
moment to load we'll scroll to the bottom this is at the bottom on purpose as i've mentioned
before as it's not something you need to look at regularly this is basically system data and cache
so the system is using it as it needs to sort of regulate what's going on in the os altogether
so really no need to look at this unless you're getting an error saying that you don't have enough
storage available so it is taking a while to load on beta 7 you'll see though that it's
probably going to be significant this time around maybe 10 to 20 gigabytes so i would expect that
as it's continually calculating so if we go in here go back out it's still loading so it may
take a while to load but typically i just wanted to mention this because i would really ignore this
if you're having an issue with it i wouldn't check this regularly unless you're having an issue with
it using all the data and you'll see it's using 42 gigabytes right after i installed the update so
i just would ignore it for now unless you have that error now with ipad os
16.1 this is also ipad os 16 beta 7. i really wish they would have renamed it to 16.1 as that's a bit
confusing but they need more time to finish things maybe for upcoming ipads and more so
if maybe we go into safari we have stage manager they definitely need to fix some interactions with
this and make it a little bit more consistent and smoother and just work a little bit better
it's okay but it's not great and it is seeming a little bit faster this time around but definitely
needs additional work especially with this and external display so hopefully we see some major
changes here and some refinements and of course if i find anything else in ipad os 16.1 i'll be
sure to let you know a little bit later now that leads me to should you install ios 16 beta 7 or
ios 16 public beta 5 and if you're already on the betas then absolutely if you're wanting to try
these out a little bit early it's probably pretty safe at this point as long as you have a backup as
these become more and more stable and we should be fairly close either to beta 8 or ios 16 rc so you
could definitely install it and then we can expect maybe ios 16 rc next week we could have a beta 8
or because we're expecting an apple event an iphone 14 apple event probably on the 7th
typically that means we'll have invites go out at the end of this week or early next week if
it is on the 7th normally we'll have the release candidate after that update with the event and
then we'll have the final release either later in the week the next day or the following week
apple has changed this from year to year so we can expect that and then the ipad os updates coming
out later probably in october as most people are saying so that seems to be the most likely as far
as battery life well it will take a few days to measure that and of course i'll follow up
on that with a follow-up video and maybe more features if there's anything to be found
but if we go into battery battery health on this device is 99 and it hasn't been great with beta 6.
many people are reporting it needs to be updated i think as we're closer and closer to the final
now we're at the point where it should get better so i would expect it to get better
with beta 7 but again it will take a few days to notice performance this time around feels very
very smooth i noticed it right away going into different apps whether that be music the camera
things just open very quickly and exit nice and smoothly maybe editing a wallpaper where it was
a little bit stuttery before is nice and fast so this is a definite improvement at least from what
i'm experiencing and i think you'll be happy with it if you update also i checked out a game on the
iphone 10. so i thought we'd check that out and go into real racing 3. i've been trying different
games of course i usually show minecraft but let's give it a moment it's resuming it was playing
before so you'll see this here it's a little bit slow it seems like it has to reload so maybe
that's a memory management issue or ram management but so far it is a little bit older device for ios
16 so we'll give it just a moment you'll see it says welcome back we'll tap to continue
and it's making me start over again so i installed it on this to try out and you'll see here as we go
through frame rates are nice and fast i've had no stuttering whatsoever which is great
and seems to be great as you would expect so you'll see it was a little stuttery to exit
but that's to be expected with that game as far as benchmark scores i thought i'd share that with all
these devices but first let's take a look at the 13 pro max i ran it just once and have 1731 for
single core 4638 for multi-core so not incredible but it just installed and you'll see here
that it's a little bit lower than previously faster for single core slower for multi-core
but let's take a look at all these devices from left to right we have the ipad pro 12.9 from 2021
then the iphone 10 then the iphone 8 plus iphone 10r and then iphone 13 pro max this should give
you a good idea overall what your devices should be like if they're within a few hundred they
should be fine and so far that's everything with ios 16 beta 7. of course if i find more i'll have
a follow-up later this week usually on saturday or sunday where we'll talk about battery life
additional bugs if this is stable enough to use regularly and if it's ready for public release
and i would expect ios 16 public release like i said sometime in mid-september maybe
the week of the fifth or the week of the 12th depending on which week we're talking about
and the apple event and more so look for that very soon and if you found anything i'd love to
