iOS 12 Beta 4! 55 New Features/Changes #Helpful Post

ey what's up guys we got some very

strange things happening today with

Iowa's 12 beta 4 there's a lot of new

changes mostly changes not really any

new features or anything like that but a

lot of very strange changes that Apple

has added to iOS 12 so let's cover that

everything has changed the performance

basically new beta of course would go

for everything that's new right so first

thing I wanted to mention it is

developer beta 4 comes in around almost

600 megabytes on my iPhone 10 and it's

quite considerable there is a big amount

of changes inside storage wise there's

almost no difference from beta 3 so it

did take just a little bit more up but

really nothing different there and the

first thing you're gonna notice is from

the setup screen there's a new splash

screen letting you know that you need to

keep your iPhone up-to-date by enabling

automatic software updates and these can

be found in the settings page and we

start our interesting changes with the

inertia the actual scrolling behavior in

iowa's told beta 4 seems to have changed

so we're gonna start here in settings

and we're just gonna flick our device

down and it's a lot more aggressive you

scroll a lot further in a beta 4 it goes

faster it's kind of interesting you can

ramp it up so that definitely has

changed and it's more apparent in Safari

so if I actually go into this website

right here and we flick down you'll

notice it's more aggressive I end up

further down in the page and actually

going back up so it definitely does have

a little bit more oomph to it I guess

you can say so scrolling is definitely

different in beta 4 and it seems that

new behavior with the scrolling actually

extends to the control center as well I

noticed that it seems a little bit more

flickable like you have more intensity

when you do so so that not only in

actual scrolling within applications

also within the system UI as well whoo

this one is so hard to notice but in the

settings application the switches now

are a little bit more bolder on beta for

Apple added a couple more pixels going

around the edges and it's definitely a

change I'll try and bring it up on

Photoshop for you as it's very hard to

see on camera and this one isn't new to

beta 4 but it's the first time I

actually noticed it so on the lockscreen

if you actually pop out your SIM card it

will put your phone into a locked mode

so you won't be able to open it up you

know using the face ID feature

automatically needs the passcode which

is an interesting change so if someone

finds your phone and they decided pop

out the SIM card they won't be able to

access it any longer or it locks out the

biome

by doing so very interesting also this

is a super cool one so take a look at

this if we go into the control center

activate airplane mode and then leave it

look at the network indicator now you

have this dynamic one with an animation

very very cool this is new to beta 4

looks really really nice this reminds me

a lot of the promised data indicator the

Apple had at their keynote when they

announced the iPhone 10 kind of back and

forth and we never saw that one never

saw the light of day so this is the

closest to that that we can get right

now and this is a very hard one to catch

in the music player Apple rearranged

things just a little bit so this

timeline player over here sits a little

bit higher the title set a little bit

higher music control seemingly just a

little bit higher it's a very very small

change but it certainly is there so they

shuffled around the controls just a

little and I'm really not sure if this

is intentional or not but when you

launch a folder the screen gets brighter

and that's beyond the max brightness

already it's kind of interesting I'm

sure it's a bug or maybe not so you know

that feature Apple introduced with USB

accessories where within an hour it

disables your USB ports now in beta 4

that goes into effect immediately as

soon as you lock your device every time

you lock your device the USB port is no

longer accessible unless you enter the

passcode when connecting it to a

computer every single time and you'll be

happy to learn that fortnight crashing

it has been resolved in beta 4 so any

issues you may have had with that no

longer in the latest beta if we jump

into beta 4 into the control center and

we start a screen recording and after

the recording starts going we jump into

here the disclaimer actually stays on

screen and it doesn't disappear it

during the recording also in the control

center if we go into the accessibility

toggle right here in the platter there's

a slightly revamped interface some bars

there for whatever reason and if we

actually enable an accessibility

shortcuts it no longer has this prompt

every single time it gets enabled or

disabled now on beta 4 and when booting

your device up if you had an

accessibility shortcut enabled when you

turn your device off it will no longer

show you the prompt as you can see that

one's enabled that lets you know that

it's on as you can see this no longer

shows up also in the control center if

we go into airdrop here there is a

larger button interface on beta 4 for

whatever reason and on device

with a home button the control center

the grabber itself is a little bit more

prominent in the top bar the blurred-out

area is slightly larger this is a new

change in beta 3 by the way who's just

reminded of it and for users with an

Apple watch you'll be happy to learn the

Apple implemented a couple fixes with

beta 4 because the issue was on the

iPhone not on the Apple watch but

anyways before when you get a

third-party notification the

notification would not stay in your

notification center it would just

disappear and the contacts would just be

gone for whatever reason all the

contexts in your iPhone would it sync

properly to the Apple watch so you'd be

getting messages from numbers and not

from contact names in the messages

application we got some more activity

stickers here so I'll pull them up this

is what we previously had and this is

what we have now so definitely a lot

more going here also a change I just

found so in mark up there is a slightly

tweaked interface for these little

pencil icons or the drawing tool icons

as you can see they're bolder now it's a

little easier to distinguish between the

thicknesses and this is true for every

single one of these so this one has a

slightly revamped one of the marker tool

the pencil one has a slightly revamped

version as well as you can see a little

bit more detail there and if we jump

into here into the color picker that one

with the multi colors has a new

interface as well no longer has a dumb

button it's a very clean in this little

bubble icon so you just click down below

to dismiss it now and then the messages

when taking a picture in the effects tab

if we go to these shapes here they're

now animated so this previously wasn't

available in beta 3 if I slide up you

can see that they're all animated and

you can go ahead and drag them out just

the same

they're just animated when you placed

them and some tweaks to them emoji

editors so going into the nose and lips

tab here and notice there's a whole

nother section or a whole nother row

here for some more lip designs and going

into ears there's a new color option

here for the shine so all the colors

have a shine to them now in the activity

app there are tweaked icons for

different workouts here so they

definitely look a little bit cleaner now

app store searches now show you a couple

more categories so stories and actual

developers and are labeled as such

previously did not have that in beta 3

now in the wallet app your passes in the

bottom right here the more info little

button that I has been replaced by these

three little dots and

blacks I definitely think that's a nice

change and in cellular options a very

nice change here is that everything is

organized all the applications by the

size and not by alphabetic order so this

is something we were asking Apple for a

decade to arrange and it's now been done

and in the Do Not Disturb settings we

have a new description now with an

actual link to the clock app and a

couple changes in here bedtime mode is

now just called bedtime and if you

actually turn off scheduled it turns off

do not disturb mode if it was enabled if

it's within that schedule at the time

where previously it didn't and I also

noticed a change with how do not disturb

mode during bedtime works

so if bedtime is enabled and it's not

currently in sync with the clock version

of bedtime or if that's not enabled it

will no longer turn on do not disturb

during bedtime mode where previously it

would no matter what and within the Siri

and search settings there's a couple

updated descriptions here the ask Siri

part and below the Siri suggestions and

in Safari in the Advanced Settings if we

go into experimental features there's

less options here now and a lot of them

have been rearranged in the software

update settings if we go into automatic

updates there is now a description below

this option within the over-the-air

settings and within the about settings

in legal if you have a home pod

connected to your device you'll now see

the home pod legal settings in here as

well or previously they didn't show and

smart inverts seems to have got a little

bit better for me for whatever reason I

was having a glitch where my control

center would reverse as well that's no

longer happening now and on the

lockscreen with smart invert enabled not

only is it faster to enter the camera

app it's not more responsive as well so

I'm not getting dropped frames like I

would before all around a better

experience and I don't know if you guys

were having this issue but in a

spotlight search I had a yahoo icon

that's way way larger than it needs to

be and I can go ahead and take it into

any application that I want it's kind of

funny so who in the photos application

we got some new icons here in the share

settings so the airplay icon now is a

new the add to album icon is a new

slightly larger reworked and also the

duplicate icon is smaller and been

rounded a little bit oh and the hide

icon has been inverted and slightly more

rounded now and in Safari the private

browsing mode is back for some reason it

was just gone for some people wasn't

working now it is and some users are

reporting that this screen here with the

weather

after you're done with do not disturb

mode can be accessed without having

always on for location tracking any

weather application I wasn't able to

confirm this mine still required it but

it may be a feature and this is new

since beta 3 but there is now accident

tracking in the Apple Maps application

so it'll let you know when that's coming

up ahead and there seemed to be some

slightly larger bolder buttons within

the carplay application and on ipad a

couple changes so when using a non

native application like instagram the

button to enlarge the application is no

longer a 1 x 2 x deal it's this little

icon with arrows and these two have been

here since beta 3 i just didn't mention

them but there is a slightly tweaked

animation when popping an application in

and outs kind of nice you get this

little Domino effects with the

applications also the control center now

has a little bit more bounce to it so

freaking it to work you can pull it down

a little bit further and it's got its

nice little animation with it not sure

if this is a bug or feature but in the

control center in screen mirroring I no

longer get an icon next to my devices

here also not sure if this is an

intentional feature but live listened

for me has been disabled in beta 4 this

is what I get unavailable for current

route with air pods

also the naming has been renamed from my

device name to just hearing also a bug

from beta 3 where you couldn't resize a

photo has been fixed now in beta for our

guys so there it is for the changes I'm

gonna go ahead and run a Geekbench here

but performance feels pretty dang good I

mean it's a little bit snappier it

should be getting better with every beta

and it certainly does feel a little bit

better

it's the animations you know the little

bit snappier scrolling that's making a

difference here for my iPhone and I

really do like that change and here's a

Geekbench on the latest beta on the last

one so a little bit lower but nothing

too unusual overall the performance and

does feel great of course if you're on

an earlier beta you need to go ahead and

upgrade and public beta should be

available pretty soon and there it is

guys I was told beta 4 good amount of

changes lots of improvements and tweaks

and some quite curious changes on

Apple's parts but yeah go ahead and

upgrade there's really no reason not to

peace
