hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 15.6 beta 2 has been out for the past few days
i've been using it full time on my 13 pro max and it seems like it's getting better
not only for me but for many of you based off the youtube community poll at the time of this video
there's 9 800 or 9900 votes now and 112 comments i've read all of those comments to give you the
best understanding of what this update is like so it's not perfect but we'll talk about what's good
and bad in just a moment and as you can see we're actually outside and it's raining quite a bit
so there's rain in the background and i'm curious if you like this sort of change maybe outside
with ambient noise with the rain falling and maybe even lightning and some thunder as well
but we'll have to see about that but let me know what you think about that in the comments below
now as far as new features and changes this update does not have a whole lot in it because
ios 16 beta 1 is right around the corner ios 16 is expected to have some major features and will is
only a couple days away at this point so you won't see a whole lot of features in ios 15 anymore
maybe some changes a little bit later but not a whole lot but there is a bug fix i didn't mention
in the initial what's new video and that has to do with music so in the bottom on the dock you
can see i have spotify and if you were to install apple music just go to the app store we'll go to
apple music we'll install that and if you install apple music prior to this update it would actually
replace the overall dock icon of spotify and sort of kick it out of the dock now it installs to the
home screen like any other app would so they've actually resolved that in this update i've tested
it on many devices and it's definitely resolved for me so that's something they fixed it's even a
problem in 15.5 and earlier now ios 15.5 actually continues to be quite buggy and i'm surprised we
haven't had an update because there's quite a few touch issues i've even heard from friends saying
that they have touch issues asking when there's going to be an update if there's a problem
and i usually don't hear from most people about that so it looks like it's quite buggy
and hopefully we'll have an update soon but mostly it's touch issues and freezing which on a good
note on 15.6 beta 2 has resolved that issue for me so i have no touch issues whatsoever it's nice
and fast if i go in and out of apps i haven't had any touch issues anywhere in 15.6 beta 2.
i did hear from one person though in the comments that did have the touch issues still now whether
or not they're using a screen protector and maybe the phone doesn't like that i'm not sure
but if you're not using a screen protector it should be resolved for most people now
connectivity also seems to be better in 15.6 beta 2 compared to 15.5 15.1 or 15.6 beta 1 and 15.6
beta 2 have the same modem update and basically have a very similar experience so i haven't had
any issues with connectivity with 4g or 5g you can see here now i'm on lte but switching between
different towers and things seems to be much better with beta 1 and beta 2. so so far i've
had a good experience with that and haven't really heard of many issues with it now i did hear of one
issue with bluetooth where someone did have some issues with that and it was disconnecting for them
but they didn't say whether or not that was with airpods or a third-party bluetooth headphone or
anything else they just said they were having disconnect issues carplay continues to be an
issue for some although i'm hearing about it less and less but it does seem to be an issue
hopefully with ios 16 they'll finally fix those bugs it's been a long time since we had
a stable car play update as far as wi-fi no real issues there wi-fi seems to be performing well
and i haven't heard from really anybody that wi-fi is a problem so i look through all of
those comments and others message me as well i haven't heard from anyone now the storage bug does
continue to be a problem for some people so if we go into our settings general and then storage
we'll let it load here and we go all the way to the bottom and apple purposely puts it at the
bottom because it's not something you need to look at regularly you'll see mine is currently at 9.22
gigabytes and that's pretty normal this can vary quite a bit go from nine gigabytes up to maybe 18
gigabytes and then back down to two gigabytes it's using that data in the background and it's sort of
buried for a reason but if you have 80 gigabytes or 150 gigabytes like some of you are saying
if you plug it into a computer using itunes on windows or maybe finder on a mac and then
just sync your device to it that seems to clear that out i mentioned that in the beta 2 video
and i'll go and explore some other ways to do that in future videos if apple doesn't
fix this very very soon as far as the overall heat or temperature of the device it seems to
be staying nice and cool now typically as we get into the summer months it's going to get hotter
and then of course ambient temperatures are going to rise so outside currently it's quite
cool since it just started raining but it was 90 degrees yesterday and still my phone felt
quite cool now if you have a case on it of course that can change and it can be quite warm but most
people are saying it stays much cooler than it did even with 15.5 so it seems to be fixed for
most people now you can expect it to warm up a little bit if you're playing an intensive game
or you're fast charging that's completely normal but most of the time it will be nice and cool
and it manages itself but if you're getting the overheat message i would love to hear from you in
the comments below overall battery life actually seems to be a little bit improved for me so if we
go down to battery go to battery health you'll see my actual battery health is still 100 percent and
here's coconut battery this is a mac app that you can download outside the app store and will show
your overall capacity as well as the battery cycle so you can see that here it's a free app so i just
wanted to share it to be consistent and yesterday i had four hours and 39 minutes of screen on time
6 hours and 39 or 38 minutes of screen off time with about 60 usage so better than i
did previously on prior betas so i used a lot more battery with a lot less screen on time and today
so far 3 hours and 13 minutes and 3 hours and 47 minutes of screen off time the odd thing is screen
off time i'm really not doing anything so there's a lot of background activity that really shouldn't
exist so that's still a problem maybe for some people but music is not showing up for me here
using background activity so that music bug as well could be resolved also now as far as someone
else's battery life abhishek sent in his battery life and thanks again to him for doing that
this is on an 11 pro max and he had 4 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time at 2 hours and
28 minutes of screen off time so actually quite good no issues there getting through the day with
8 to 12 hours of screen on time depending on his usage so it seems like it's improving but again
it's a beta and if you're having issues make sure you report that in the feedback app now
battery life on the ipad is okay it does seem to be getting a little better for me so again here's
coconut battery sharing my battery health and today i've had one hour and 55 minutes of screen
on time two hours and 19 minutes of screen off time i haven't used this with the screen off but
i charged it yesterday evening so it's actually doing quite well i'm at 65 battery and it seems to
be better than it was before so based off of this i've only used about thirty percent of my battery
maybe i could get eight hours of screen on time which is much better than i've been getting before
with five to six hours with the ipad i haven't had any additional issues so no issues with scrolling
touch or anything else and everything is performing nice and fast no issues whatsoever
as i go in and out of apps use it for youtube or anything else so no complaints there battery
is just a major thing with ipad now overall performance seems to be quite good on older
phones newer phones i haven't heard any complaints and performance overall seems to be quite good for
most people so if we go into the camera here we'll go into photo i don't know why it went into that
but you can see here it was nice and fast if we go to video everything's switching quickly going into
different apps going into the app store scrolling everything seems to be nice and fast regardless of
the device i'm on as far as the benchmarks i did run them again on the 13 pro max i actually ran
this today after doing quite a few tasks and the benchmarks were down a little bit 1711 for single
core 4533 for multi-core compared to when i first installed it it was a little bit better but if i
was to close apps and it was actually doing some tasks i was talking to some people so it would
probably perform better if i ran it again but it's within spec it's doing fine and running quite well
without any problems now as far as ios 15.5.1 i was really surprised we didn't see that yet we
already had it with tvos and homepod os last week and or the week before now and so far we didn't
have it this week at all so i'm very surprised we haven't had it yet and 15.5.1 i thought would be
released to fix those touch issues maybe apple's going to skip it all together and jump right to
15.6 since on monday we'll have ios 16 beta 1 to developers we'll have it later to public beta
testers probably in july around beta 2 to beta 3. now typically these will be very buggy so i don't
recommend installing them if you were thinking of trying that unless you have a secondary device
however i would expect maybe a beta not next week but probably the following week is apple probably
is quite busy with wwdc so i would expect all of the different updates to ios 16 ipad os 16 tv os
16 home pod os 16 mac os 13 and watch os 9 all of those will be out next week to developers but then
maybe 15.6 beta3 the following week so i really wouldn't expect that next week but it's possible
if they want to make it very busy not only for them but for all of us we could see it next week
as well of course as those updates are released i'll keep you updated on youtube with new videos
and of course elsewhere on social media as well now let's take a look at the youtube community
poll let's refresh it we still have 9.9 k votes or 9 900 votes so thanks again to everyone who voted
and 112 comments 15 of you are on fifteen point six beta two seventy four percent of you are on
fifteen point five or older so a public version only one percent on fourteen point eight or older
one percent on thirteen point seven or older and eight percent on android now let's take
a look at some of your comments i have my ipad below let's take a look at what you had to say
abdul razak says i wonder if your comment sections are reliable or full of trolls with no iphone
every version they say the battery gets better but it re in reality it got worse
the reality is i would say it's definitely reliable as people send me their battery regularly
and not everyone has the same experience because one person has bad battery doesn't mean everyone
does that's why there's actually beta test programs where there's millions if not billions
of devices where apple can get the information and figure out what's going on so every person
depending on whether you're running apps like facebook facebook usually drains a lot of battery
for people or it could be a game you're playing or just something you're doing differently or even
you have bad sell signal in your area it's going to vary greatly for every single person so that's
why i sort of take averages and put them together but with this update again it's hit or miss but
better for me not for everyone braden davis says i'm running ios 15.6 beta 2 on my iphone 13.
it's been great as it should be at this point my battery life has been almost the same as 15.6 beta
1 for me can't believe it'll be the last version of ios 15 i'll be running it's brave running 15 or
spray running ios 16 so early on jeremy lee says ios 15.6 beta 2 is pretty stable on my iphone 13
waiting for ios 16 beta keep up the great work aaron thank you abhishek lamba said so far on
ios 15.6 beta 2 it has been great using it on my iphone 11 pro max no lags and freezes and battery
life is good love all your videos aaron you're doing a great job thank you and thanks again for
sending in all of those different battery stats week to week doug thomas says using 15.6 beta 2
pretty stable all apps seem to function fine on my 13 pro max jordan smith said iphone 13 pro max
with no issues in the latest beta no noticeable issues with battery or bugs it's been great
thomas mahler says ios 15.6 beta 2 on an iphone 13 pro max and no issues sir nicholas says hi i'm
using ios 15.6 beta 2 currently on my iphone 13. for the most part i'm having pretty good
battery life about the same as 15.5 but i have a pretty big bug where my phone goes completely
unresponsive and touch function stops and that's what i mentioned earlier for me the touch function
was actually fixed but again not for everybody for some reason so i'm curious if you're using a
third party screen protector or something else or just the regular screen i'd love to hear from you
in the comments below and so that's everything with 15.6 beta 2 and i'm really looking forward
to ios 16. of course many of us are hoping for a bunch of features such as split screen maybe
a new control center and more let me know what you're looking most forward to in the comments
below and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the
description like i normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and
