hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 12.3 beta 2 has been out for a few
days I've been using it primarily on my iPhone XR and a little bit on the XS
Macs and wanted to talk about how it's been for me now we'll talk about battery
in just a moment but I also did run a YouTube community poll that I do every
time before I make one of these videos so if you're interested in that go to my
community page on the YouTube channel and you'll be able to see what the poll
is participate in that and let us know if you've had any issues and then I take
all of those issues I read through every one of them compiled a list and take the
top few that seem to be a problem for everyone
now battery life for me on this has been pretty much the same as iOS 12.2 so
you'll see I have four hours and 21 minutes of screen on time it kind of
carries through each day and that's about this is today and that's about
with 50 percent battery life left or so and that's pretty good I think so about
7 to 8 hours of screen on time sometimes a9 it just depends what we're doing but
I did have 3 hours and 20 minutes of screen off time as well so it's doing a
lot of things in the background with spark email since I've started trying
that out as well and you'll see there's the background time as well so it's been
ok I haven't really had any bugs on the XR and it's been fairly fluid I haven't
had any reboots or anything like that or lock ups although some people are saying
settings is locking up again for them now if we're talking about the XS max
this is where we see that seem to have issues apparently people are having a
lot of issues with it just freezing anything from scrolling to going into
settings to going into different apps it will kind of stutter or have not really
smooth scrolling so it could be here it could be in a different app like this it
could be anything it just doesn't scroll that smoothly and can create a problem
for some people on the XS max I didn't see any issues on the XS or any of the
other phones it seems to be just this one although if you're experiencing it
let us know in the comments below now Wi-Fi and LTE LTE seems to be the
most problematic it still seems to be a problem for quite a few people
particularly on the XR X
and XS max so seems to be affecting some older devices as well but more so
the newer style devices just like we thought with the Intel modems in the new
antenna design so there's definitely something going on there I have had to
actually reset airplane mode or reset the the the connection using airplane
mode before as well I've had issues not too many but occasionally I will have
some and I do have issues with it loading Twitter images and some apps on
Wi-Fi and that's the other problem people were having is some app crashes
so maybe Twitter crashes or Google or anything you're using people are saying
they're seeing app crashes however that is not everyone having those issues
that's just a handful of you I haven't had any bugs anywhere else thankfully on
these devices so they seem to be pretty solid but let's take a look at the
youtube community poll and I do have an apple case on this one I'll probably
take it off soon because I do like to use my phones without a case or screen
protector but I'll link these in the description if you want to check them
out so let's go to the YouTube community poll and see what you had to say because
that was my compiled list but as you can see here 16% said it was great 5% said
terrible I added a new one that said just okay some people had said well it's
not terrible but it's okay or okay so but some bugs or I'm using an older
version here 67% so terrible is about average for this time and just okay as a
new metric but I did read every one of your comments so I appreciate everyone
that's commented here and if you take a look at let's go down to the bottom and
we'll take a look at a few of these I don't want to look at too many it would
take a long time to read all of these now some people were saying battery is
great or the same as 12.2 and others were saying it drains really fast so it
just depends on who's who's having this experience it depends on a lot of
different factors from everything from how you use your phones to apps you're
using and what settings you're using but here's some that I didn't mention
contacts have been disappearing and some bugs with Apple TV connectivity on the
XS so that's an issue for some people and then I also saw this one I thought
was interesting my camera does not open when my brightness is at max please help
so if I turn my brightness all the way up
go home I didn't have this issue I did try and replicate it seems to work okay
there was a little bit of stutter there let me turn that down let's go and see a
couple others here's someone this is this is the first time in any beta I've
had problems with an internet connection and lag it was very bad at the start and
seemingly got better but now and again it hiccups installs on my iPhone X so
like I said it does seem to be an issue here's someone that says it's been good
Wi-Fi seems to be improving so far it's been the best on beta 2 battery is
really good gets through a day and having about 65% left using the iPhone
XR and thanks for the compliment I appreciate that I'm looking forward to
iOS 13 as well let's see waiting for a jailbreak yeah that may be a while
actually iPhone 7 iOS 12.2 sometimes LTE and
Wi-Fi problems what battery is good like I said I've found the batteries about
the same as 12.2 iPhone 8 plus running iOS 12.3 beta 2 seems to be working good
there's been a few minor stutters but nothing major I enrolled through the
beta program because iOS 12 point 2 was a complete disaster to my battery
however this beta seems to help with battery life and again thanks for the
compliment iPhone 8 + + iPad 2018 better battery and performance with beta 2
thinking I had a rollback 12.2 probably won't wear 12.3 probably
won't be too far away battery life is great on 12.3 on my 6s plus and speed
wise it's one of the best betas I've have ever used because performance is so
false it's so far so good and I've been experiencing great battery life on my 6s
plus so far now finally to anyone using the iPhone XR do you have any issues
with sending messages I got to try a few times especially with pic messages iOS
12.2 right now I personally haven't seen this or haven't heard any complaints
except I think for yourself but seven people seem to agree with you so it may
be a problem that's just minor and not widespread but if you're on the beta I
highly suggest you report feedback with the feedback app that you have installed
and the feedback app will help Apple determine which bugs are more prevalent
than others they'll group them together and work on what's most important first
that's kind of how they do everything then once they work out major bugs they
move down to them Buc so hopefully you were using the
feedback app to report that and that's really all there is for this particular
beta we should see iOS 12.3 probably by May I would say it's hard to say
specifically but I'm looking really forward to early June for iOS 13 beta 1
so that's really what I'm looking forward to some major changes may be a
slight redesign dark mode things like that we'll see those features in that
version and then see the full release in September so I would expect iOS 12.3
beta 2 to see maybe beta 3 & 4 and come out in May or so but let me know how it
is for you again in the comments below also if you'd like to get your hands on
this wallpaper I'll link it in the description as I always do if you

watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time
