0:00 Hi friends, how are you? I am Abhilav. iOS 18.3 beta 2 Apple has been released. This update has been released after a long time. Why is that? Because Apple's Christmas and New Year vacations were going on. When their vacation goes on, they don't work and don't push any update. That's why we saw that iOS 18.2.1 has also been released. You might have seen its video yesterday. If you haven't seen it, it's available on the channel. And after that, iOS 18.3 beta 2 Apple has been released. So let's check out one by one what's special about it, what's new, if any new feature has been added or not, what's inside it, we will check everything out one by one. First of all, let's talk about the size of the update. The size of the update is 906 MB. 906 MB is not a very big update, it is not very small either. We saw that iOS 18.2.1 was around 500 MB. So this is a slightly bigger update of 906 MB. It is an update of decent size. Before the update, it was only 18.3, it was beta 1.
0:47 But when beta 1 was available, it shows 18.3 only. It will show 18.3 when it is still 18.3. When it comes to 18.3, it will show 18.3 only. The capacity of this iPhone is 256 GB. Available free space was 191.83 GB, that is 192. The modem firmware was 1.40.02 before the update. We were able to see E at the end of the build number before the update. And after updating, it is only 18.3. Because beta 2 has arrived, it is 191.09 GB. So the available free space has decreased a little. And the new modem firmware 1.40.03 is visible here. The available free space here has decreased a little. Not even a little, around 800 MB, that is less. We will try to find out later. At the end of the build number of this update, we can see D. We will get to see 2-3 more beta versions of this update. After that, we will get to see the final stable version.
1:32 And this update is also quite good compared to the 18.2 series of iOS. Because the eating issue is even less. So I am definitely going to wait for this update when its final version comes. Let's check what is new in this update. So here, first of all, we have opened the calculator app. iOS 18.2.1 is running on this phone. 18.3 beta 2 is running on this phone. We will do 1 into 2 here. And if we see the result, we get 2 here. If we do equal to, we can see that 4 has arrived. But there is no change in the result. Again, if I keep pressing equal to, there is no change. But if you see here, it has become 2 into 2 by pressing equal to. Then if I press equal to again, it will become 4 into 2. That means if I have to keep doing into 2, multiplied by 2, then I can do equal to equal to here. And this is not for 2, it is for any number.
2:18 Like if we do 9 into 8 here, then its result is 72. But how much is 72 into 8? Then 576. So this is a small change that should have been in the calculator. So Apple has done that in this update. I told you about image playground last time. That the result is a little different than the old version 18.2. So here you can see whatever I have made in the image playground. And here, before I was shown African, now it is showing a little South Indian. So this type of change is coming. It may happen with you or not. So you can tell me by commenting. So here I bring my photo. Now you will see that the photo is showing this type. Now I can see more change that I got to see last time. We will check it once in comparison. Here I put the winter holidays, I put fireworks. Let's see what result it gives us. So here you can see that this type of result is giving me something.
3:04 Now here we tap on done and see if this photo that we made last time matches with the image or not. So I close this. And here you can see that earlier it was making my photos. It had kept the hair like this. Later the photo changed and started generating such images. And now when I checked last time, it was making this type of photo. And this type of photo. But now it looks slightly different. And the hair has become like before. Means it has grown a lot. So it may happen that some changes are happening in the back end. But I will not say it is perfect. But it is good. And you can get a lot of results. In this update, iOS 18.3 will have a new feature. Mobile device management. MDM is the company, the defence, the government bodies.
3:51 If they give their employees iPhones from their side. And they put mobile device management on it. So that they can manage their phones. So here an option is given by Apple in this update. Satellite communication. You know that satellite connectivity is there in the latest iPhones. So you can disable that. So this is good news for MDM people. So that if they have sensitive information. If they have a defence or security of the country. Then the people working in that. Or if their employer wants that they don't have satellite communication on their devices. Then they can disable it. Now let's check out what bugs are fixed in this. We have opened the feedback application. So here you can see that there is a resolved issue in Genmoji. Where Genmoji was not able to develop a personalized app. It was not able to generate without selecting a different person first. So this is solved. Apple has a health kit related.
4:37 There is a resolved issue here. There are resolved issues in writing tools. Rest, the unresolved issues. The bugs that are still present here. Apple has not mentioned about that here. So here I felt a little strange that this thing should have been done. What are the bugs still there? What is its work around? What is not there? So there is not much mention about that here. So it is possible that Apple employees are still in the mood of vacation. And they have released this update quickly. They have not come out of their mood of vacation. Like we also don't come if we get a long vacation. So next time maybe they will update here. Rest, you can see here the information related to health kit. Here, health kit authorization granted by a user for a data type might not persist. Resulting in the app being unable to access data. Potentially prompting the user again. Means like the HDFC app which is in India gets moving offer. If you have taken Apple Watch.
5:23 It will prompt you again and again if you are on this update. That you give access, give access. So that thing is here. That issue is here. Apple has solved it. So it is fixed in this update. And the fixed thing related to writing tools. For third party apps adopting writing tools for API on iOS. If the first responder is not a UI view. It will not be able to use the complete in-line experience. So this issue has been solved here. Those who use API to develop the app. By using writing tools. Now if we talk about battery. So here we can check only one thing. Beta version is here. And since we pay more attention to the stable version. So here we check battery health. Battery health is 100%. Cycle count is 24. My 16 Pro Max has reached its cycle count of 95-96. It is my primary iPhone. I am using this for other office purposes and beta testing. I have also brought this 16 Pro. So that you can see the latest updates on both.
6:10 Rest here, I don't use much on this. So I won't be able to discuss about battery life. But when we get the stable version. We check this on our primary phone. Rest here, the heating issue is very less in this update. And I have used image playground also. So the heating is not equal. So here you will see better battery life. Compared to 18.2 or 18.2.1. Performance overall, I found it very good. I find it decent. I am not seeing any glitch or lag. If I try to do multitasking here. Or check recent apps. Everything is working smoothly. So here we check the benchmarks once. So that we know that Apple has not done anything wrong in this. 35348834. This was the last time's score. And the current score is 35678898. So almost the same score as the last time. There is a small improvement in the multicore score.
6:58 Let's see the GPU score. Let's go in the history of GPU. The last one was 32747. And today's is 3377. So it's good. The range of 33000 has started to increase. It was at 33 in the middle. Then it came to 32. Now it has come to 33. So this is also a good thing. Although there is not much difference in numbers. There is only a difference of 300-400 points. Network and storage. Both these things are discussed about it. Because there has been a slight change in it. Storage is low. We have always seen that it increases. Why is it low? We will try to check a little here. So here you can see that the system data is a little more visible. Let's check below. It is 9.11 GB. What is this? It is fluctuating. It comes more or less. The primary one on my iPhone is 1 GB. 1.07 GB. You know that. But the space has gone around 9 GB. Because of this, the overall free space here may have decreased a little. But it's not a problem. If I use it a little, then everything will be solved here.
7:46 So here is no difficulty. I don't see any difficulty in it. 800-900 MB is less, increasing is not a big deal. And here if we talk about network performance, see, the update has been installed now. We haven't checked much, but we will make a few calls and see. We will know if there is any issue here or not. But still, it should be tested for a long time. It is not seen quickly and told to you. But it is a new modem for that. It may solve a lot of problems in it. Because I have seen it in 18.2.1 as well. And I will bring its review soon for you. That network related issues have started to come in it. And call drop, call failure is also visible in it. Call is installed, but call fails in between. This is an issue. We will see if this comes in or not. Upcoming updates, what we will see. Beta 3 may come next week. Because the Apple update has started.
8:34 Other than this, no update is seen recently. iOS 18.3 Beta 2. Should you update this? If you are on Beta 1, then you should. Because what will you do on Beta 1? Go to this. Beta 2, Beta 3, then RC version whenever it comes. After Beta 4, after Beta 5. Go to that. After that, stay on the stable version. Then you can stay. Many people are asking me, we have come to this. How to go on the stable version? Now don't try to go on the stable version. Stay on this. This is also a very stable update. In fact, it is more stable than the stable update. This was the story of iOS 18.3 Beta 2. I hope you liked the video. If you liked it, then do like and share. Subscribe to my channel. Good bye. [ Silence ]
