hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this past week was a fairly busy one with the release of iOS
16.4.1 we've also had iOS 16.5 beta 1 for a couple of weeks and we should have a new one fairly soon
we'll talk about that as well as Apple news and more as we do every weekend and the first thing
is starting in early May access to Apple services with the exception of iCloud will stop working
apparently on iOS 11 to 11.2.6 Mac OS 10.13 to 10.13.3 watch OS 4 to 4.2.3 and TV OS 11
to 11.2.6 they'll no longer have access to things such as the Apple Store maps and more apparently
this is based off a tweet that also seems to sort of show up in an Apple support document so that's
something that unfortunately won't work if you're on one of those older devices you still will have
access to certain things such as iCloud but not a lot of the different Services now we know the
worldwide developer conferences on June 5th that's when we expect to see the next versions
of software and much more and you could apply to attend in person Apple has now started sending
out invites or they already sent out invites in sort of a lottery system you can see here where
it says requests are closed if you signed up for this you may have already received an invite some
people receive denial letters and occasionally they do a second round where they invite more
people so it may not be over yet but the special event will be on June 5th and everyone can watch
it online either way it'll be a keynote and you'll see here you can submit a request to
attend and more but pretty much most people will watch it online and we'll see iOS 17 and much more
now Apple Maps got a redesign this week in a couple different countries I mentioned this in
a different video but I wanted to just update you in case you hadn't seen that if we go into
Maps Apple's redesigned maps are expanding to Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland,
and Slovenia and in Poland if we zoom in to Warsaw here just keep zooming in use two fingers and
tilt if we get close enough you can see 3D maps with more information and detailed information
depending on where you live so you should start seeing those in your different cities Apple this
past week released a teaser image of its new store coming to Mumbai India so you can see
this on Mac Rumors where it's the bkc store retail store and it says coming soon now they
actually made a different web page so you can see a wallpaper that's custom for that store as sort
of a celebration of it being opened and they also created a separate playlist in apple music for
that I'll link those in the description if you haven't seen these already but it's the Apple
bkc playlist so that's been updated here and is available now so if you're near that at store in
India when they open it or even before as they're progressing and you can take pictures of that I'd
love to hear from you in the comments below maybe we can get some of that on these videos when we
do the weekly news update videos now this past week Apple stopped signing iOS 16.3.1 meaning
you can no longer downgrade from IOS 16.4.1 or iOS 16.4 to that version so it's no longer signed
they typically do that anytime a new release comes out and as far as new releases while we
did have 16.4.1 many of you have told me that they finally fixed the notification bug and what I mean
by that is if you pull down notifications they're no longer squared off so many people were seeing
this as you'd bring down notifications they'd be squared off in the corners they're no longer
doing that however they are sometimes slow as you scroll up and down or they disappear like they
just did there so it seems to be still a little bit buggy for some as you can see but for some
reason it's a little buggy there but at least they fixed part of it now they have to fix the rest
now I did mention in the other 16.4.1 video that Apple fixed an issue with the Apple watch
unlocking a Mac however they also fixed the issue with universal control and handoff for
many users where you would use your phone hand it off to a Mac sometimes it wouldn't work with the
latest update it seems to be working properly and so you do need to make sure it's turned
on in settings under General and then AirPlay and handoff make sure it's turned on and then
also transfer to homepod if you have one of those and you can actually maybe we'll go in on my Mac
that's in front of me we'll just go to a website here and if I go into my app switcher here you
can see it here it's handing off immediately and it's working properly so it seems to be working
now with that latest update that's great news and hopefully it's fixed for everyone else now I did
want to talk quickly about iOS 17 as supported devices I made a separate video about that but
it seems to be a little bit Hit or Miss depending on who you ask some people have said that iOS 17
will no longer support iPhone 10 iPhone 8 or 8 plus however someone else came out later and
said that they will support it so at this point it looks like they could support everything I'm
not sure that they would get rid of the others or they might get rid of them we don't know a hundred
percent but both of them have actually been Fairly reliable sources saying this so I guess
we'll just have to wait and see also recent news is saying that we can expect a redesigned control
center now this we've heard for many many years so hopefully we do get something like that but we
just don't know for sure because we have to wait and see apple can change it at the last moment
as they have many times before but I would expect some small changes at least hopefully a Control
Center and more maybe split view finally now as far as iOS 16.5 beta 1 I've been using it full
time on my iPhone 14 pro Max over the past week or two as well as on my iPad so I thought we'd talk
about that first let's talk about improvements now so far it's been pretty stable I did mention
before in my previous video that my wake-up alarm wouldn't work properly it started working again
and has been reliable ever since I changed the time maybe it had to be reset but it seems to be
working as you would expect also we had that WeatherBug issue where it just wouldn't work
properly whether it's the widget or the weather app itself it would take a very long time to load
it wouldn't load at all would give inaccurate information Apple has since fixed that it fixed
it on 16.4.1 and it seems to be fixed on 16.5 beta 2 now so overall it seems to actually be working
as you would expect now as far as overall battery life while it's a beta and I don't really worry
about it too much I did want to share it as I do normally weekly and if we go into battery health
and charging I'm at 97 maximum capacity with about 152 Cycles as you can see here so it's going down
as expected 80 after two years is normal according to Apple and this is the first time I've had it
go down this quickly within six months I haven't charged this any differently whatsoever put it on
magsafe let it charge and it worked fine with the 12 13 and now the 14. in fact for the pretty much
the same Chargers and then in the car from time to time nothing has changed at all as far as my
charging habits as far as the overall battery life well that hasn't been great on this device as I've
shared with you many times but others have shared great battery life with 16.4 for example some have
great battery life with it some don't but you can see I have 4 hours and 22 minutes of screen active
time 2 hours and 23 minutes of screen idle time and used about 75 percent of my battery so it's
not really phenomenal today two hours and seven minutes and I've used almost 50 percent of my
battery so it's actually better than it's been for me in the past but it still continues to be
pretty poor you can see the camera was quite a bit and I barely used the camera so that doesn't
make a whole lot of sense to me there seems to be a bug maybe it was running in the background and
it shouldn't have been I also have many of these turned off for background activity so I'm not sure
why it's actually showing but it does continue to be an issue and probably when 16.5 comes out
maybe I'll wipe it and start over and see how it goes from there as far as performance while on
the newer devices I haven't had any issues and I haven't heard from any of you that it's any
different on the older devices So Pro motion is nice and fast as you would expect and it seems to
be moving along quickly whether you're opening apps podcasts I haven't had open in a while go
back into music switch back to podcasts everything seems to be nice and fast as you would expect
however I have had some issues with Bluetooth from time to time I've also had some issues with iCloud
password prompts for some many people have told me that and there's also been not only squared
off notifications but also choppy notifications on the beta I hope that the next version beta 2
actually fixes those issues but heat in general has been pretty good on the back it's pretty cool
to the touch I don't really worry about that too much like I've said it manages itself but it is
something people ask me about now as far as the next beta iOS 16.5 beta 2 I would expect that as
soon as Tuesday or Wednesday if Apple continues to do what they've done in the past we'll have beta
2 maybe beta 3 the following week sometimes they switch to a weekly schedule after beta 2 or it's
still bi-weekly we won't know and of course until a couple weeks from now but expect beta 2 this
coming week now as far as iPad OS I haven't talked about this in a while but I thought we'd revisit
it overall it's been very fast in fact I've had very little bugs on this whatsoever and if we go
into settings we can take a look at battery life here I charged it to 100 earlier today but if we
take a look back it's probably getting about six or seven hours of screen on time total between
overall charges it seems to get me through a day no problem or a couple days then I'll charge it
and it'll work again so I really haven't had any issues with battery there it seems to be fast I
haven't had any apps crash and it just seems to be functioning as you would expect battery isn't as
good as I'd like but it's not bad at all compared to what it was before with public versions or any
of the previous versions now as far as iOS 16.4.1 it's just too early to tell as far as battery life
and more you need to give it at least two to three days at minimum to see what it's like typically
that will give you an idea if it's stable everything's done processing in the background
it's fully indexed everything as needed and then you'll know what battery life is like overall
hopefully it's improved but like I said it's too early to tell for sure I wouldn't expect too much
of a change but let me know how it's going for you so far now as far as the YouTube Community
poll I did not run a new poll because well again we haven't had 16.4.1 long enough and 16.5 beta
2 is not out yet but currently at least with this there's 15 000 votes and people still vote on this
but now 16.4.1 is out but usually around 15 or so of you are on the beta as far as comments there
hasn't been any new ones really over the past day or so but some people did suggest that I maybe
read more of these in regular videos or maybe just spend a whole separate video talking back
and forth is sort of a conversation and reading a bunch of these comments so I'd love to hear
your ideas about that in the comments below but most people seem to be running the current public
version and if they were on the beta there are a few comments about that and you'll see iPhone 13
Pro Max using the latest beta no issues at all so far it seems to be pretty good I'm using 16.5 beta
1 on on my iPhone 14 pro mats I don't have any issues it's a good iOS version I'm seeing that
more and more seems to be pretty reliable so far but again it is an early beta expect more features
with the next one and so that's everything with iOS 16.5 16.4.1 so far and some apple news let me
know if you'd like me to cover anything else in these sort of videos and of course I'll have the
typical news video on Monday as long as there's no public update or beta update surprisingly again if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper it will be linked in the description as it always is
