hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple released ios 15.6 beta 5. this is currently
available to developers and hopefully by the time you're watching this video it will be
out to public beta testers as well this came in at under 500 megabytes on all the devices here
so the iphone 12 pro the iphone 10 and ipad mini all of these devices were under 500 megabytes so
it's a pretty small install this was released alongside ipad os 15.6 beta 5 watch os 8.7
beta 5 tv os 15.6 beta 5 and mac os 12.5 beta 5. now let's go ahead and take a look at the build
number and talk about what's new so we'll go into settings then we'll go to general then about and
as you can see the build number is 19g5063a with the a at the end i expect this to be the last
build before we get a release candidate we'll talk more about that a little bit later and as
far as what's new well this update does not have a modem update in it so there is no modem update
going from beta 4 to beta 5 like there was with beta 3 to beta 4. we're still on version 2.70.01
now there are a couple small changes in beta 5 and the first one has to do with communication safety
if we go into our settings and then we go down to screen time if you have a family tap on the family
member at the bottom and as you can see with beta 4 to beta 5 there's a little dialog here that now
says improve communication safety it says help apple improve sensitive photo detection by sending
diagnostic and usage data once you tap on improve communication safety it explains more information
about it and of course you can turn this on or off and then we can share or don't share and if
we go to the next page you'll see we now have an option for it and they've also changed some
of the wording here as well so that's not really any huge changes within communication safety but
there are some wording changes here also apple is expected to release the new macbook air very soon
and they've actually updated the images for that macbook air within 15.6 beta 5. so we're expecting
pre-orders of the macbook air probably as soon as friday with a final release the following friday
on the 15th so that's typically what we expect with this we'll have to wait and see that of
course could change in july but the macbook air is expected soon so apple has updated not only images
for macbook air but macbook pro and the latest macbook pro you can see this in the find my app
under devices and i don't have a macbook air but you can see the m1 max here the little icon for
the macbook pro has been updated just a little bit and the same is true with the macbook air so
all of that has been updated in the beta once you have a macbook air it will show instead of showing
nothing or not having a correct image for it also apple has updated some changes in
the code for the international calls so once you receive an international call
there'll be some different wording changes where it will say international call and then you can
hand this off to different devices and it will tell you that it's an international call being
handed off you'll also have the option to report it as junk so those are new things within this
update and also if you didn't see my video last week with beta 4 there's some small changes there
with safari and clearing history so i did want to show you that quickly if you go into your settings
and then go down to safari tap on safari scroll to the bottom tap on clear history and website data
if you choose to clear the history and data you'll now get an option to close tabs or keep tabs this
was added with beta 4 and it's still in beta 5. so that's a nice little change there if you
don't want to close everything but just get rid of your history you can do that there's also some
small wording changes within accessibility with braille and more this time around
but nothing huge other than that of course there's some additional changes we'll see probably once
it's released to the public we'll know everything new in it now as far as known and resolved issues
well it hasn't changed much since beta 4. there's no new resolved issues and there's no new known
issues but they've kept basically the same notes if we go into the feedback app you can see the
latest notes and it tells the known issues but there's no resolved issues for beta 5.
so they're the same thing as beta 4 where it says known issue the ios device that initiates pairing
it needs to be logged into the same icloud account as the home hub only the owner of a home not an
invalid user can pair matter accessories and also the same is true with xcode it's the same as last
week with xcode 13.4 is unable to prepare ios 15.6 beta devices for development it's telling you to
use xcode 13.3.1 so again the same exact thing as far as resolved issues now i've mentioned this in
the past but wanted to show you this if maybe you're using a third-party app such as spotify
and you want to re-download apple music you can go into the app store search for apple music tap
on download and prior to these updates it would actually replace spotify in the dock at the bottom
now it's just downloading it and it's installed there in your app library or if you have it go
to your home screen it will do that it will no longer replace your third-party apple music app
within or your third-party apps such as spotify in your dock so that's something that's been fixed i
talked about it before and it remains fixed in beta 5 and it's probably something that
will roll out with the final release as well as far as any update with the storage issues there
really doesn't seem to be a ton of them however apple does bury the storage issues down in the
bottom as far as overall usage so we'll give this a moment to load you'll see that's the first time
i've loaded it it loaded very quickly that's great that's not really an issue anymore and ios data is
taking up 8.35 gigabytes system data is taking a while to load so we'll give it just a moment
and it only took a few more seconds to load you can see here 305 and it's 6.3 gigabytes so it's
not a huge amount this will change over time and apple buries this down at the bottom for a reason
if it's over 20 gigabytes though i'd love to hear from you in the comments below but typically this
will clear itself up and you can sometimes fix this by syncing it with itunes or finder on a mac
so try that if this is still an issue when the final version comes out hopefully it clears all
the cash you can also try and delete the history in safari sometimes that clears it up as well
but it should not be taking up a huge amount as far as the iphone overheating or getting too warm
so far it's been nice and cool the entire time installing the update going in and even checking
geekbench scores it's not bad at all it's nice and cool and it's not gotten warm at all
as far as future releases ios 15.5.1 is something i wouldn't count on anymore
people have been asking me about that and it looks like apple's just going to wait for
ios 15.6 so 15.5.1 i wouldn't count on looks like they don't need it and then we'll have ios 15.6 rc
either later this week or sometime next week around tuesday typically when apple
does that we'll have a final release maybe the following week so if apple does release maybe
the new macbook air on the 15th we could have the update sometime next week to reflect the changes
with that up that update and that release so look for that as soon as next week if we have an rc
later this week of course i'll be sure to let you know also ios 16 public beta and beta 3 are
expected as soon as tomorrow many people think it'll be tomorrow or thursday where we have a
public beta it's possible they could push it to the following week but last year it was a little
bit different where they released the public beta as public beta 2 which matched beta 2 of ios 16 or
15 at that time and then they pushed ios 15 beta 3 the following week where we had that match with
the public beta as well we'll have to wait and see what apple does but they could release this
on the same day and we could have ios 16 beta 3 and public beta as soon as tomorrow hopefully we
have that as well as far as any security updates i would expect ios 15.6 to have quite a few of them
of course we won't know about those until they're released to the public and once 15.6 is out we'll
know what that is as apple updates their website with it and so that leads me to should you install
ios 15.6 beta 5 and at this point if you have beta 4 absolutely install it or any version of ios 15.6
however if you're trying to solve an issue with 15.5 i have seen some people have better battery
life and overall experiences even using the beta over the public version of 15.5
however just make sure you have a backup and if you do have issues keep in mind it is still a beta
and report those issues in feedback so make sure you do that if you're having any issues with 15.6
as long as you have a backup and maybe a computer to roll back then definitely you could try it out
i would hold off on ios 16 betas until the public beta is out as it's quite buggy still as far as
overall battery life most people say it gets them through a day without any issue of course
i'll talk more about that later this week when we have a follow-up on the weekend but battery
life in general i'll show you battery health on this device it was not my main device it's at 100
some people have asked me to show my battery health on the iphone 10 so i did use this for
quite a while and you'll see it's at 88 percent on the iphone 10. so definitely it will go down
over time just with regular usage but in general it should get you through a day with 15.6 as
far as overall performance it's nice and fast on all devices here whether that be an iphone 10 or
iphone 12 pro or anything else it seems to perform really fast scrolling is nice and fast if we go to
the app library whether it's pro motion or not it seems to be at the peak of performance of ios 15
and it should be at this point as far as overall benchmarks i did run geekbench 5 on this and
you'll see it scored 1586 for single core 3971 for multi-core compared to what we had with previous
betas it's a little bit faster for single core and a little bit slower for multi-core it's basically
what you would expect if it's within 100 or so it should be just fine and so it seems to be very
close to a final version of ios 15.6 no additional changes have really been found on ipad other than
what i mentioned on ios so hopefully we'll have a release as soon as next week possibly the week
after that if you've found anything else though in ios 15.6 i'd love to hear from you in the comments
below and if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description like i
