Transcripts
so iOS 18 developer beta 3 the
re-release and the first public beta
have now been available for a couple of
days and as per usual I always like to
come back and give you guys a quick
followup on the latest IOS 18 beta
software now in this video I also want
to talk about when we can expect the
next update iOS 18 developer beta 4 and
public beta 2 I also want to talk about
some of the bugs that Apple has just
fixed with the re-release of iOS 18
developer beta 3 so let's go ahead and
start now the first thing I want to talk
about is airpods I had an issue where my
airpods would constantly disconnect when
connecting to my iPhone to listen to
music now this only happened with
airpods in iOS 18 a beta 1 beta 2 Beta 3
but now with the re-release of beta 3 I
have to say whatever Apple did they
fixed the issue where my airpods now do
not disconnect as often I did have an
issue where they disconnected once
initially but from now on it looks like
things are working pretty solid with iOS
18 developer beta 3 the re-release and
the airpods connection so I'm happy to
report that so if you like using airpods
and we're looking to update to iOS 18
betas I have to say based on my
experience the issue with airpods at
least looks to be addressed here with
the latest beta update now something
else I had issues with was payment
services in some banking applications on
my iPhone again I don't know what Apple
did but it looks like a lot of the
payment services and applications has
been fixed here with the latest beta as
well happy to report that so it looks
like we're in the right track Apple
continues to patch bugs and issues
however there's still going to be issues
obviously for example RCS if we go here
into the RCs I have to say here in the
US I've continued to have issues with
Verizon so I don't know if you guys have
Verizon or T-Mobile but T-Mobile here in
the US my devices running on T-Mobile
have RCS support running just fine but
sometimes Verizon seems to be spotty I'm
not sure if Verizon will eventually
release some sort of a carrier update
but seems spotty for Verizon customers
at least here in my personal device it
looks like I'm having issues with
Verizon and some of my team ofile
devices but RCS another feature
obviously coming to iPhone with iOS 18
and definitely working just kind of
spotty for certain carriers here in the
US now the next thing want to talk about
is battery life because you guys always
ask can I update or should I update
how's the battery life and I have to be
honest battery life has improved
slightly but I still have to charge at
least once every day after getting my
device off the charger in order to get
through my entire day so basically if
you want all day battery life then
obviously iOS 18 beta is not the
software to go with but yeah battery
life although it has improved slightly I
still continue to have issues with
having to plug in before the end of the
day in order to finalize my day with iOS
18 and now last but not least I want to
talk about the overheating issues you
guys may remember that I had overheating
issues constantly with iOS 18 beta 1
beta 2 and beta 3 now I'm happy to
report that whatever Apple again
whatever Apple did with this latest beta
I have not encountered any overheating
at all on my devices here running the
latest beta and I'm testing multiple
devices obviously I'm testing from newer
to older iPhones and I have to say that
in terms of overheating I haven't
encounter many or any overheating on the
latest re-release for iOS 18 developer
beta 3 now obviously I'm testing older
devices as I mentioned the iPhone 10r as
you can see right here although it is a
bit choppy sometimes when you go to
interact with the software it is a lot
better than it was before I have to be
honest things are running pretty smooth
this device is about 6 years old running
the latest Apple software that is sort
of incredible and you can see there that
things are just flowing right by things
are looking pretty good so far with
older devices as well yes you have the
uh you know stutter here and there but
other than that for being beta software
it's pretty solid so far so I'm happy to
report that even older devices are
performing very very well so what we can
expect iOS 18 developer beta 4 and what
are some of the new features we can
expect Apple to announce with this next
update well one of the features that a
lot of users are waiting for is the call
recording feature coming to the phone
application in iOS and this could be the
first time we see call recording on
iPhone with iOS 18 developer beta 4 as
Apple most likely start rolling out
Apple intelligence this is part of Apple
intelligence obviously we have call
recording and call transcripts so this
could be a feature available with iOS 18
developer beta 4 look looking forward to
this one another great feature coming to
iPhone is image playground this is also
part of Apple intelligence where you can
create basically any image according to
words that you throw at it so image
playground is a separate application
that should be available for iPhone
users perhaps coming up with iOS 18 at
developer beta 4 now gen mooji is also
part of Apple intelligence and we could
see the Gen mooji feature roll out in
the form of beta obviously this one
allows you to create custom Emoji images
with apple and intelligence and
obviously Apple intelligence plus Siri
will start rolling out in general to
devices supported in the form of beta as
you can see from the screenshot right
here and that it also includes Siri and
the new Siri UI which I'm sure a lot of
you guys are looking forward to I know
most of you guys are looking forward to
the new Siri UI and a lot of the new
Siri stuff keep in mind that some of the
Siri features like onscreen awareness
and inapp actions won't happen until at
least early to mid 2025 but the new Siri
UI and some of the new Siri feature will
most likely start rolling out in form of
beta in the next couple of days with iOS
18 and developer beta 4 and public beta
to now with all that being said when can
we expect these next updates well if
history is any indication and we go by
last year's schedule iOS 17 beta 4
released on July 25th so if Apple was to
follow the same pattern it looks like we
could get ios 18 developer beta 4 as
early as the week of the 22nd next week
so throughout the entire week we can
expect the next beta for iOS 18
developer beta 4 and public beta 2 if
not 100% certain on the week of the 29th
towards the end of July so just keep in
mind that iOS 18 developer beta 4 is not
too far away I can't wait to get my
hands on it I'm sure a lot of you guys
are looking forward to it as well thank
you for watching this quick update I
hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see
you guys on the next one peace
