Transcripts
hi everyone Aaron here for zolot Tech
and today Apple released iOS 17.3 to the
public iOS 17.3 is out around the world
at the same time for everyone as long as
you have an iOS 17 supported device this
released alongside many other updates
for things such as Apple watch iPad
Apple TV and others and we have new
features to music that have been added
as well as security updates and more so
let's jump right into the new features
if we go into music the first thing that
you'll see if once you've installed iOS
7 19.3 is a new splash screen with all
of the new feature updates if we go into
music and then our library and then
playlists and we create a new playlist
so maybe we'll just put a new
playlist as an example here and once we
tap create you'll see that we have a new
option in the upper right with a little
person here so you'll see that here and
if we tap on the person we have the
option to invite people to join we can
approve collaborators and start
collaborating so if we tap on start
collaborating will be presented with our
share sheet and then we can actually
share this either with a text or maybe
we could airdrop it whatever you choose
you can see on the other device I sent
it to we have an option to join playlist
we can tap join and then it will join
into the playlist We just created if we
tap join again once we've done that
we'll be able to share our libraries
together so you'll see they're in sync
now I have them side by side so let me
go ahead and add a few different songs
so we'll add this one we'll just add a
few that showed up right here and tap
done so now we've got them here they'll
automatically sync on the other side and
show you who they've actually been added
by so if you have multiple collaborators
you'll see that here also if we go ahead
and tap the little icon in the upper
right you'll see now there's two
different people here and it shows the
collaborators again and gives you
options to either stop collaborating you
can share a link invite more people and
turn on approve if you'd like also if we
tap on a song so let me turn this all
the way down here we tap on a song it's
playing if we go into this you'll see we
have a new option for an emoji if we tap
on that we can now add an emoji reaction
so if we really like the song we can
give it a thumbs up we can change that
to whatever we'd like and it's animated
as well so if we want to change it maybe
to A Little Party symbol there and we
can add others as well so we have the
option to add more Emoji whatever we'd
like here if we want to add a little
smiley face we can do that and it
animates for everyone that we add so
it's a nice little update to music that
they've added throughout all of the
playlists something we've had or wanted
for a while that they've shown with iOS
17 that we finally have a big feature
that Apple has added with iOS 17.3 is
stolen device protection if we go into
our settings scroll down if we go to
face ID and passcode put in our passcode
if we scroll down again once we're in
this menu you'll actually see a new
option for stolen device protection we
can turn this on and it says this adds
another layer of security when iPhone is
away from familiar locations such as
home and work face ID is required to
access certain data and a delay prevents
quick changes to security settings now
this is actually a little bit of an
issue sometimes if maybe you're planning
to bring it to Apple for service you may
want to turn it off ahead of time since
this actually is typically finding where
you're located based on your home and
other places if we go to turn it off
we'll actually have to put in our face
ID and then sometimes it will actually
delay it for an hour so that's actually
a feature to make it more difficult to
actually change settings and passcodes
we can tap start security delay and
despite me being at home it still makes
me wait an hour to turn this back off so
just keep that in mind if you're going
to use it but it is something new that's
really nice that makes it much harder to
actually change information if someone
was to grab your device we'll tap done
and then we'll go back something else
they've added that sort of goes along
with Device security has to do with
lockdown mode if we go to privacy and
security scroll down to the bottom and
if we have lockdown mode enabled Game
Center will no longer function properly
so keep that in mind if you want to use
lockdown mode for the most secure device
possible certain functions won't
actually work and they've actually added
Game Center to that list this time
around if we go back to our lock screen
they've added a new wallpaper press and
hold we'll go over and start a new
wallpaper or add one here if we scroll
down you'll see a new Unity wallpaper it
says designed by black creatives and
allies at Apple to honor black history
and culture this goes along with an
allnew Apple watch band as well and we
have different options here so we can
swipe between Styles where we have
different colors such as red green and
multicolor or black and pick whatever we
choose again we have a couple different
options and apple typically adds these
every year around the same point so we
have the older ones that we had from
previous years but we also have some new
ones called Unity Bloom so if you want
to use those they're now available if
you travel a lot and stay in hotels
often there's a new feature that will be
really beneficial once the hotel
supports it if we go into our settings
then General than AirPlay and handoff if
you're using AirPlay select hotels that
support AirPlay to TVs or Apple TVs will
now have the option to allow you to
airPlay from your device without
actually signing into anything or
transferring any personal data it keeps
the device secure and also allows you to
transfer things such as music if you
want to airplay that you can set it to
music or movies or anything else that
you can AirPlay you'll be able to do
that in hotels so hopefully many hotels
start to support this also there's an
update in your settings under General
and then Apple Care and warranty Apple
Care and warranty will now show you all
the devices signed into your Apple ID
not just those paired with the device
that you're using so if we scroll down
you'll see all the different devices I
have in my family or my own personal
devices and it shows the Apple Care
status as well so that's something
that's really nice instead of just
seeing some of your select devices
everything's now listed here with
warranty information and more with iOS
17.2 Apple finally added the journaling
app Journal now has a new new Option so
if we go under settings scroll down a
little bit till we get to journal under
Journal you'll see a new option for
journaling suggestions now you may or
may not have all the options I have here
depending on what you've allowed within
the journaling app itself but journaling
suggestions is new and it has some
settings for privacy and notification so
if we go into privacy it brings us right
into journaling suggestions privacy we
can turn them all off for activity and
more and then just arrange this to
whatever we'd like we've also got
notifications but but when we swipe back
it doesn't bring us back to where we
were we have to go back into Journal
then go to journaling suggestions and
then go into the other options here for
notifications so we have some
notification options for journaling as
well so it's nice that they've added
these but it's kind of odd that you have
to swipe back a couple times and then go
back into your settings to get to the
journaling
suggestions now if we have spatial video
enabled on our iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max
that allows us to record spatial video
for Apple Vision Pro that's coming up
out very soon with the two cameras here
on the side we now have a new splash
screen the first time we enable it so
first it needs to be enabled so if we
scroll down to our camera settings then
we go to formats under formats scroll
down you'll first need to turn on
spatial video for Apple Vision Pro once
you have that enabled go into camera
then rotate to video once you've rotated
you'll see the little icon there for
spatial video so we'll try that again
tap on it and the first time you go into
it you'll see a new splash screen that
EXP explain some new features with it
and that it records at 1080P and can be
used with apple Vision Pro you can view
those here as that was added previously
but it's just a new little splash screen
you'll actually see the first time you
go in now if you're using the fitness
app and you're using this along with
maybe airpods working out maybe working
out to one of the workouts within
Fitness Plus or something along those
lines once you get close to the end of
your workout Siri will now ask you if
you're using airpods and have Siri
enabled if you want to end that workout
so it will audibly ask ask you and then
you can say yes end the workout Apple
didn't State this specifically but it
seems to work in this update so that's
something new let me know if you've seen
that before though now Apple also
mentioned one other thing but they
didn't put it under a bug fix but it
really is more of a bug fix with iPhone
14 models and iPhone 15 models Apple
added emergency SOS with crash detection
crash detection has now been optimized
again on all iPhone 14 and 15 models so
that's more of a bug fix where they've
made that so it's optimize so it either
works better when it's supposed to or
doesn't work when it's not supposed to
I've actually seen this firsthand in a
car accident I was in last year it
worked really well thankfully no one was
hurt so I actually canceled it but it
was about to call emergency services so
it's definitely something that I
recommend using if you don't have it
enabled already but it should be even
better this time around there's also a
bug that's been resolved thanks to a few
viewers that sent this in that actually
noticed that 17.3 had actually resolved
the issue of the app Library causing a
crash crash to the overall system and
respring when you went out of it went
back to the main Pages swiped through
them sometimes you would see some odd
crashes that seems to be fixed in iOS
17.3 but Apple hasn't called it out
specifically now there's also security
updates in this update but we won't see
those actually updated probably for a
few hours sometimes Apple updates them
right after an update releases sometimes
it's a couple days before they add
everything but you can see the overall
security updates I'll link them in the
description and you can see iOS 17.2
here with its different security updates
with its impact description in the cve
number and the researcher or person that
actually submitted it to Apple so be
sure to check those out if you're
interested I'll link them in the
description below now as far as
additional bugs well the wallpaper
dimming bug is still there you'll see as
I scroll up it sort of loses some
saturation it seems to be less severe
but it's still present also the
notification bug is still there however
I don't currently have any notifications
but they will just jump jump in and out
that hasn't been fixed since iOS 16
though so maybe they're just waiting
until iOS 18 to resolve this I'm not
really sure as far as Wi-Fi it seems to
be resolved for most people I haven't
had any issues whatsoever in iOS 17.3
with Wi-Fi if you are still having an
issue you may want to try resetting your
network settings however I wouldn't
recommend doing this unless you know all
of your passwords as it could wipe some
of those out but if you go into your
settings go to General then transfer or
reset iPhone tap reset and then reset
network settings you can do that and
sometimes it will resolve the issue but
again you may have to re-enter a bunch
of passwords for networking after that
so keep that in mind now there is a new
modem update in this version so that
could improve some connectivity overall
so going from IOS
17.21 to iOS 17.3 you'll see an update
but if you were on the betas you
wouldn't necessarily see a modem update
so that could help with overall
connectivity when it comes to
Performance it's been pretty good I've
been using this full-time on my my other
device here so performance has been
pretty great and I haven't really had
any issues everything seems to load nice
and fast scrolling is nice and smooth as
far as promotion and it's been a pretty
good experience in fact the geekbench
scores typically show that so if we go
back out and let's go over to this
device I ran it right before I made this
video go into geekbench you'll see we
have
2,955 for single core
7,448 for multicore that's probably the
highest I've seen it in a very long time
if ever so I would say overall
performance is quite good heat is quite
good as well I haven't had the device
getting very warm and I'll just show you
this very quickly with a thermal camera
now keep in mind I was holding on to
this so it's going to warm up a little
bit but as far as the overall
temperature we have almost about 32° C
and it seems to be cooling down a little
bit and we have about
86° F so it's staying pretty cool in
general most people are saying the same
thing with the follow-up video as far as
battery life let's take a look at the
phone I've been using fulltime here if
we go into our settings and then we go
up to battery we'll go to battery health
and charging we're at 100% so at the
time of this video I'm still at 100% in
as far as Cycles if you're curious about
that on the iPhone 15 models we can
check that in general and then about
you'll see I currently have 86 Cycles so
I've been using it full-time like I said
and back in battery this could drop
anytime soon though but over the last 10
days yesterday I didn't have great
battery life but many people are
reporting this is much better than iOS
17.21 so the majority of people are
saying that especially in the weekend
follow-up video I had about 3 hours and
15 minutes of screen active Time 1 hour
and 19 minutes of screen idle time
depending on the day I had over 4 hours
I'm easily getting through the day with
about 30 to 40% left so I'm not sure if
this is actually reporting accurately
but either way most people are reporting
that it's better but we'll check again
on the weekend just to see if it's
really staying that way over the the
week now if you're wondering if you
should install iOS 17.3 well absolutely
if you're on iOS 17.21 I would for not
only additional features but security
updates bug fixes and more again most
people report it's actually better as
far as the overall using it during the
beta and through the RC so I really
wouldn't hesitate but if you are nervous
again you could wait for the follow up
on the weekend we'll talk about that in
detail as far as iOS 17.4 beta 1 we can
expect that next and typically we'll see
that usually the day after the release
of this update or a couple days later I
would expect a couple new features with
that such as Emoji maybe we'll see the
first version of side loing as Apple has
to comply with that by March but that
would typically be in the EU only so at
this point in time we don't really know
for sure but it looks like iOS 17.4 beta
1 will start out in a couple days so
look for that of course I'll have a
video all about that as well let me know
your experience if you're running iOS
17.3 I'd love to hear from you in the
comments below and I'll link this
wallpaper in the description like I
normally do if you haven't subscribed
already though please subscribe and if
you enjoyed the video please give it a
like as always thanks for watching this
