hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released Iowa's 16.4 developer beta 3.
this is available to developers now and iOS 16.4 public beta 3 should be available either by the
time you're watching this video or usually the following day now this came in at 660 megabytes
that's on the iPhone 14 pro Max and it was about the same size on all the devices you see here
now along with this apple also released iPad OS 16.4 beta 3 a Mac OS 13.3 beta 3 a watch OS 9.4
beta 3 along with pvos and homepod Os 16.4 beta 3. yesterday they released TV OS 16.3.3 to the
public with a fix for the remote connectivity that was for the Apple TV 4K third generation only 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 as you can see the build number is 20e5229e and this particular update
does have some new features and changes is and the first one has to do with checking for a software
update Apple has said that they're going to change this so when you check for a software update it's
related to your developer account or beta account you'll no longer be using profiles however that's
still working but they've made some changes with that and I've actually blurred this out and taken
some screenshots as it actually relates specific to your Apple ID under software updates so you'll
see it had my Apple ID there and now it shows you that it's associated with the developer beta or
the public beta or both you can also change this if you have a different developer account so maybe
you have a different Apple ID as many businesses do that are associated with a developer account
you can actually change that and tap on use a different ID once you've done that you'll now
be able to enter that ID here whether or not it's a different developer or public beta account and
then you'll be able to use that it's a really nice change and something that's new in beta
3. last week with beta 2 Apple updated books with the new page turn animation they finally brought
that back and now there's a little pop-up to let you know it's there so you'll see it says choose
a theme page turn animation and more to make each book perfect for you so it's a little pop-up there
telling you that you'll tap on the menu here then you can go to themes and settings and then you
have the little page turn option and of course it looks like this if you turn the page so I'm glad
that this is here it looks a little better when it's in light mode as well when you're turning a
page in books you can see through it it's a little translucent it's really nice that they've brought
that back and now there's just a little splash screen for that as well or pop-up now today
Apple introduced an all-new iPhone 14 color in yellow and we'll wait for this to load on their
website and you can see the yellow color here now this time around it's only for the iPhone 14 and
iPhone 14 plus they didn't update this color for the Pro Models so there's nothing new like there
was last year with green they also introduced 20 new Apple watch bands so there's 20 new different
colors that go along with that and they've added some of those colors into the face gallery on
your Apple watch so so with the latest update you should see some of those colors you have a bunch
of different options to choose from depending on the face you're actually using you can set that
specific color and of course if you go over all the way over to the plus you also should see fall
2022 in here as well that wasn't there as far as a category goes so that's something they've added
and it's been updated for Apple watch so again that's in the Apple Watch app now if we go over
a couple Pages you'll see if we go into Shazam and go into maybe a song we've recently found
scroll down you'll see we have concert dates and more but at the top here we actually have some new
options to open in apple music add to Apple music Buy on iTunes share view artist remove from my
music and what's wrong you can tell Shazam what's actually wrong so that's something that was new
with the previous beta as well I don't think anyone pointed out but it's something that's
been updated and some of the wording has been updated there as well now if we go into settings
and then we go to emergency SOS within emergency SOS we have all quietly they've changed the text
under this to better explain what it does and it says warning alarms flashes and voice over audio
will be silenced when using hold and release or five button presses to place an emergency call so
that's been updated and also Apple's bringing the option for satellite connectivity to more
countries at the end of this month so maybe with a final release of iOS 16.4 we'll talk about
that in a moment but they're bringing satellite connectivity to Austria Belgium Italy Luxembourg
the Netherlands and Portugal again they said by the end of this month they announced that today
now if we go out of this Settings app and go into stocks there's a new splash screen this was there
with beta 2 a new one popped up with beta 3 it just says Market Data Business News iPhone iPad
and Mac use iCloud to view stocks and news on all your devices so this is the only splash screen I
got this time around also if we go into the tips app let's find that here I think I have it in the
app Library let's just go into tips tips has been updated now you may or may not have seen this but
depending on what devices you have connected to your iPhone makes a difference as to what
you'll see so you'll see Apple watch if you have an Apple Watch connected with all the different
tips and new user guides this is something that's been updated with iOS 16.4 and continues to be
updated with different versions and little changes here and there with different betas
now within the code there's something that I think will be really helpful but it will take a
while for it actually to analyze this so if we go into photos and within albums at the bottom if you
have duplicates you'll see I have 736 here if you have duplicates within a shared Library you'll be
able to delete those as well if you're actually the owner of that duplicate so you'll be able
to do that that's within the code I don't have it scanned yet this takes a while for it actually to
analyze all of this and it needs to be plugged in and the phone needs to be locked then it will sort
of do the background indexing of all the different duplicates so that could take a while but that's
something that's a little bit new that's in the code there's also many different updates referring
to security response if you have that installed and maybe an app isn't functioning properly it
will tell you you can remove it and that could restore the app functionality so that's something
that's a little bit new again in the code also one other thing I wanted to mention is within settings
under Siri and search if we go to language and we change this either to Arabic that we have here
we'll change the language go back we have two new voices for Arabic and Hebrew so take a listen I
shared some of this in my weekend follow-up this past Saturday but take a listen to these foreign
so those are the Arabic voices let's switch to Hebrew and for Hebrew
voices we'll tap on Siri voice here's voice one hi Hi here's voice two hi
so we've got a couple different voices if you're seeing anything new here I'd love to hear from
you in the comments below though let me switch it back to what I normally use something quite a few
people have asked me about is storage and if we go to General and then iPhone storage you'll see
here it says I'm using 133.1 gigabytes of 256 gigabytes used and if we scroll down there's
cached data here where we'll have a lot of system data that may take a while to load however it
doesn't match the storage that's under about so if we go into about and you'll see here it says
123.51 gigabytes available that's not used that's available now we had 123 gigabytes available now
if we do the math here 256 minus 131.8 we actually have 124.2 gigabytes available so the numbers
don't really add up so that's something that's a little bit different still they still haven't
fixed my system data is 18.8 gigabytes this is cache data I wouldn't worry about it it uses it
and then releases it as needed now as far as bugs the notification bug is fixed for me it was with
the previous beta as well where sometimes you would bring down notifications and they would
be squared off and then they would go to these rounded Corners it looks like it's fixed for me
but I did see some people say it's still an issue for them so thankfully it's fixed for me like I
said but if you're still having that I'd love to hear from you in the comments below also a bug
that Still Remains is if we go into FaceTime and within FaceTime you'll see on the left I have IOS
16.3.1 on the right I have IOS 16.4 beta 3. beta 2 also had this issue and you'll see here there's
no icons where it says mic mode and also video effects so there's no little camera icon maybe
they're changing the icons or this is just a bug but it looks like they've actually centered the
text this time around on mic mode so it's sort of an odd bug but it's still there now a bug
that seems to be fixed is if we go into settings and then we go into our iCloud settings scroll
down and go to Advanced Data protection this no longer lags before this was very laggy then you'd
go into Advanced Data protection and it would be fine but for some reason it lagged before now it
doesn't which is good news and also they've kept the updated icons for messages backups
and also voice memos that actually compare to what we have on a Mac so maybe they're going to
update these with iOS 17 as I've mentioned before but it's great that the lag is gone and so far I
haven't had any lag on anything whether that's scrolling in music or even the swipe home bug so
if I play a song Here swipe home it seems to be nice and fast I've had zero lag even with beta 2
it hasn't returned so I think they've finally fixed this hopefully it's finally resolved and
if we go into our feedback here let's take a look at the notes that's a little bit of a bug
it didn't load there but as you can see here there's a bunch of known issues still there's
actually 11 known issues and 11 resolved issues and some of them aren't too much of a big deal
but others are some such as new features you'll see both manual and automatic software update
support is now available for matter accessories that was there before other times There's issues
where it says the iOS device that initiates the pairing needs to be on the same iCloud account
with the home hub only the owner of a home not an invited user can pair matter accessories so
there's still some known bugs in here if you're having issues be sure to report them in feedback
but make sure they're not actually in here before you report them as some of them are known there's
also resolved issues in here as well now as far as performance like I mentioned everything seems to
be nice and smooth that could slow down over the next few days but promotion seems to be nice and
fast no issues there so that's really great to see and also the overall heat of the device as
many of you have asked me about that it's staying nice and cool it's a little warm as it indexes
things in the background but it's not hot at all I really wouldn't worry about it as this manages
itself but we'll take a closer look at that maybe with the thermal camera with the final follow-up
this weekend so be sure to check back for that as far as battery life well that does take a
few days to measure as you need to see what it's like after it Cycles through a few times if we go
into settings go go to battery battery health and charging I'm at 98 battery health and you
can see what the overall Cycles are here on the left if you're following along and you've seen
those on the weekend as far as the last 10 days while battery hasn't been phenomenal but you'll
see three hours and 11 minutes of screen active Time 4 hours and 58 minutes of screen idle time
and I used about 70 percent of my battery today though I've had three hours and 40 minutes and
that's quite good and I haven't even used 50 of my battery and then 5 hours and 23 minutes
of screen idle time the only thing I have to figure out is why there's so much screen idle
time so we'll have to look back at that the Apple Store is using some time Twitter is using a lot
and I have that turned off in the background so there's definitely some odd issues here and there
now if you're wondering if you should install iOS 16.4 beta 3 well if you're on the public version
I probably wouldn't do that but if you wanted to try it out on a separate device definitely
you could do that with the developer beta or wait for the public beta if you want to try
it on your main device but just make sure you have a backup in case you need to restore but
you will need a computer in order to restore whether that's Windows using iTunes or a Mac
using finder as far as iOS 16.4 beta 4 release well it looks like we're on a weekly schedule
now so we can expect that as soon as next week maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday and then maybe
we'll have another beta or a release candidate but based on this it seems like we could have
a final version by the end of the month to go along with that emergency SOS via satellite I
mentioned earlier so I would expect the beta next week a final release probably before the
end of the month or early next month with iOS 16.5 probably being in early April that's what
we would expect we're seeing that in different analytics on Mac rumors and other websites so
it seems like we'll probably see that fairly soon as far as overall benchmarks for those following
along I did run it with geekbench 6 on here you can see it scored 2509 for single core 6240 for
multi-core I saved that into my favorites took some photos and a screenshot let's take a look and
so as you can see this week we have a little bit lower single core than last week by about 11 and
this time around we have better multi-core score 6240 compared to 6209 so it's nice and smooth
we'll see how it is over the next few days now if you found anything else or if there's anything
else you'd like me to cover in these updates I'd love to hear from you in the comments below and
