Hi everyone.
Aaron here for ZolloTech and iOS 12.2 Beta 3 has been out for a few days,
have been using it on my iPhone,
XS Max and wanted to talk about how it's been for me and also how it's been for
you in the youtube community poll that I did so quite a few of you responded,
so I really appreciate that and I did want to do more videos outside like many
of you enjoyed the last time.
Unfortunately the weather here has been horrible,
so I'll be sure to do more of those in the future.
But right now it's just too rainy and it's,
it's not very nice outside.
So once it is,
I'll do some more of that.
Now as far as this particular Beta goes,
it has been quite good for me.
I haven't had a single crash.
I haven't had it actually slow down.
I haven't had the setting screen lock up.
I actually haven't had a single problem whatsoever.
Battery life for me personally has been pretty good.
It's definitely better than Ios 12.1 .4 in my experience,
and about the same or a little bit better than the,
well actually better than the previous Beta.
So these are the last few days where the Beta is.
You'll see four hours and 36 minutes.
Google photos was doing some background backup,
things like that.
So that was taking more time or battery power.
But I'm averaging about three hours to four hours of screen-on time with about
50% battery life left.
So in about five or 6:00 PM I'll have 50% battery life left and we'll have had
three to four hours of usage it depending on that day.
So you'll see it varies greatly depending on the day,
but it's been pretty good for me.
You'll see right now,
I haven't had this on the charger all day.
I'm at 57% and I've used it about three hours total.
I've been using my iPad a lot today,
so I've been using this about three hours total and I have almost 60% so I'd say
it's pretty good as far as that goes.
Like I said,
I've had no lockups and one thing a couple people mentioned to me is that the
actual voice memos may sound better when you send them within texts.
So let me show you what I mean.
So if you're in a text message and you hold the microphone button and then you
start recording that conversation and then you send it off to the next person,
they may hear it in a little bit better quality.
I don't know if the bit rate is higher or they turned up some of the noise
canceling,
but it sounds a little bit different.
A couple people have mentioned that I tried it myself and I did notice a
difference.
I wouldn't say it's a huge difference,
but there's definitely a difference.
There's also some changes to safari that I didn't mention when it comes to
tracking prevention,
so that's more of a privacy thing.
It also carries over to the latest Beta version of Mojave on the MAC,
so they've enabled some better tracking prevention.
That means if you're on a site like Facebook that regularly may track some of
your information and then you go to the next website,
they sort of blocked that from site to site.
So they're not tracking you if you turn on do not track and things like that.
So it's been good for me.
I have no complaints.
Apps seem good.
I have no problems opening things like camera,
no issues whatsoever.
But I read all of your comments on the Youtube community,
Paul,
and let me refresh it right now.
You'll see I ran at 12 hours ago.
It has 4.6 k votes are 4,600 votes or so,
and 24% of you said it's great.
4% said terrible.
This number is normally five to 7% so this is pretty good.
7% said okay,
but some bugs,
57% said I don't install Betas,
and 8% said I'm waiting for a jailbreak.
So that's pretty good.
Like I said,
I've read every single one of these.
So let's go down to the bottom here and we'll go through a few of them.
Now,
most of you,
with the exception of a couple people said that battery was improved.
So that's a good sign.
Most people said it was improved and many people said iPhone eight is actually
doing better than before.
And I see this over and over and over again.
There was one person in here that said something about uh,
their audio not working properly or their speaker and the had to reboot in order
to get sound back.
So I don't know if that was just alarms or something.
But you'll see here all good on my X our Wifi seems to be much improved so far
so good.
So that's good.
They did update the modem and the carrier updates as well.
So that hopefully is a little better.
I haven't had any Wifi or LTE problems since the update.
This person says I don't see any software update on my iPhone six it's not
available to the public.
This is for developers or public Beta testers only and not really recommended
unless you have an extra device to try it out on.
If it's on your main device,
it could crash and cause all sorts of problems.
Although it's been pretty good so far.
Oh,
this is the one just woke up and all my sound system or my sound system wide
wasn't working,
had to reboot,
so I'm not sure what that's all about.
Great.
On my iPhone seven had battery bad battery on Beta two so it went back to Beta
or 12.1 0.4 and how Beta three is doing a lot better on battery.
It's smooth and apps open quick.
Some people are saying it has better ram management so more apps will not reload
when you switch over.
I bought iPhone ten two weeks ago and then I looked in the battery capacity.
Now it's found in 99% maximum capacity.
I can't believe it.
I would completely ignore this.
That's just something that unfortunately is there.
It's nothing to worry about.
I just wouldn't even look at it to be honest.
Really great on my iPhone XS,
phone feels really snappy and smooth battery life is great as well.
I have 96% battery capacity.
I've noticed an improvement in battery life on eight plus.
Glad to have the date back on the lock screen.
I didn't think I'd missed that as much as I did,
but that date on the lock screen here definitely makes a difference to me.
So having it there
is definitely important,
especially alarms those weren't showing up as well.
That's fixed now.
This Beta was amazing performance and memory man.
It has become so much better and better battery life too.
I did notice a few wifi glitches though on iPhone eight ps,
get rid of,
I don't install Betas.
It doesn't really help.
Uh,
that's for other people to participate in,
to see how many people actually use the Betas that are actually responding to
the polls.
The speed is great.
My cellular issues are completely resolved since Beta two.
Beta three now feels even more polished.
Battery life has improved over Beta two.
Good job,
apple.
Let's take a look at two more.
Been quite smooth on my spare.
Iphone five s better battery as well.
12.2 calls.
Failing left and right.
Haven't had a call drop on Beta three battery is great.
And the date is back on my lock screen.
Good for me.
And uh,
this one where it says homescreen,
I can't get it to rotate.
The homescreen doesn't rotate on anything other than the plus devices,
not even the XS Max.
It won't rotate on this one.
It will only rotate on things like the six plus six s plus those sorts of
phones.
So you won't get that.
So thanks for everyone who participated in commented.
Hopefully we see a final release in a few weeks.
I'm assuming,
and I may be completely wrong,
that they're going to release it sometime around March 25th is that's when the
apple events supposedly is going to take place.
So they,
we may see a Beta on the 25th or 26th or they may push it to two weeks again
like they did this time and push it on the fifth and then the 19th and the final
this week.
It's hard to say they could push out the final earlier and then put another
iteration later on.
We just don't know at this point.
Hopefully we get a little more information this coming week.
Let me know what you think though in the comments below.
