hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.3 developer
beta 4 this came in at 161.7 megabytes on my iPhone XS Max and it
will vary depending on which device you're installing it on let's take a
look at the build number you can see the build number is 16f5148a and this
particular build does not have anything exciting in it in fact there's no
physical changes that I could find anywhere in the control panel or on any
of these devices and I think this is mostly a bug or background fix and if
you notice that build number it ends in a so that means we're getting very close
to the final release and that's something I get asked almost every day
when is the final coming out we'll probably see it in May and that's really
to get ready for that new TV app that Apple has on here and I think I just
have it tucked away somewhere but it's a new Apple TV app that looks like this
and is updated and will allow us to subscribe to different things from
different providers so we can go into our library and get our movies and
things but we can also subscribe to different seasons and watch different
videos from different providers such as HBO or stars or Showtime and all of
these so we'll have that ability coming soon it may not be available where you
live so aside from this beta there's also
betas for watch OS TV OS and Mac OS however the watch OS 5.2.1 beta 4 is
having issues at this time getting installed so if you have that you may
want to hold off installing it since it's not verifying properly or
installing for everyone now the good thing about this particular update is
there are new modem firmwares and carrier versions so that means LTE and
Wi-Fi should improve in fact on my XR that's what I have my SIM card in
here I switch off in but hopefully it will improve LTE connectivity beta 3 was
quite terrible with LTE connectivity for me in fact Wi-Fi was not so great either
and my modems have not changed or anything but consistently across my
devices LTE and Wi-Fi have been worse so hopefully beta 4 fixes that now as far
as battery life is concerned battery life has actually been good for me and
if you saw my follow-up video of beta 3 it was good for most people but not
everyone and you can see here's my usage that's the best day four hours and
19 minutes screen on time two hours screen off time however that's with
about 50% battery life left so with that amount of battery life left that's not
bad actually so pretty good there and now speed across all the devices seems
to be quite good on older devices such as the SE everything is fast and fluid
and we'll talk about Geekbench in just a moment but everything's nice and fast
and fluid I have had no slowdowns whatsoever and no hiccups well except
for I guess right there there was a framerate drop but really no issues
things are nice and fast loading off Wi-Fi here and that's the first time
I've opened the App Store on this particular build so it's quite good for
older devices and everything from the 6s plus that I have here to the iPad pro
that I have here there's nothing new in particular on any of these devices
they're just running nice and smooth so hopefully Apple's just addressing speed
issues here now I did run a geek bench as well so let's take a look at that
since it does seem to be quite improved over the previous one now Geekbench is
quite good 4821 for single core 11150 v from multi core on the XS Max if we
take a look at the history you'll see it's quite a bit better as far as the
multi-core score is concerned let's take a quick look at all the other devices
I'm not going to actually speak about all of them but you can take a look here
as I turn them so you can see what the scores are so you can compare between
all of the different ones so the SC the 6s plus the pro from iPad and the iPhone
XR that's it for this update there also was a shortcuts update so if you
use that there's an app update for that as well I'll leave a link to this
wallpaper as I always do if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and
if you enjoyed the video please give it a like if not the other ones ok - as
always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time
