iOS 11.3 Beta 1 - More New Features + Impressive Battery Life

New Features and Changes in iOS 11.3 Beta

One of the new features that I found in iOS 11.3 beta is related to the Health app, which has undergone significant changes. This feature is also available on other devices running iOS 11.3. In the Health app, there's a new section called "Health Records", which allows users to access their health records directly from their iPhone. When you click on this section, it takes you to a page where you can add online accounts for participating health networks and hospitals. This feature is still in its beta phase, but it has the potential to make tracking health records much easier and more convenient.

Another new feature exclusive to iPhone 10 users is related to the App Store. When installing an app on the iPhone 10, a new button appears that says "Confirm with Side Button". This change provides a clearer indication of what you're supposed to do when installing an app. The bookmarks page in Safari has also been updated to include icon folders that resemble the home screen of your device. These folders make it easier to organize and access your bookmarks.

For family purchasing, a new feature exclusive to iPhone 10 users allows for face ID authentication. This means that when you make purchases as part of a family plan using Apple Music, you can now use Face ID to authenticate transactions. Additionally, when tapping on an artist or album label in the Now Playing screen, you'll be able to choose whether you want to go to the artist, album, or playlist currently playing.

Battery Life Improvements

The battery life on iPhone Plus running iOS 11.3 beta 1 has been noticeably better than in previous betas. I've found that the device lasts around 30-33 minutes longer than before, with screen time increasing by this amount. This is a great sign for users who are concerned about battery life.

Performance and Stability

As for performance, iOS 11.3 beta 1 has been smooth and responsive. It does seem slightly smoother than in previous betas, particularly when it comes to animations and 3D touch interactions. However, the difference may not be noticeable to average users, as the improvements are relatively subtle.

App Crashes

Unfortunately, I've experienced a few app crashes while using iOS 11.3 beta 1. These crashes were minor and didn't cause any significant issues, but they're still frustrating nonetheless. Given that it's a first beta, some level of instability is expected.

Overall Impression

iOS 11.3 has been a great update so far, with many exciting new features and improvements. The battery life on iPhone Plus running this beta has been particularly impressive, and the performance has been smooth and responsive. While there may be some minor issues to work out, overall iOS 11.3 seems like a promising direction for Apple's future software updates.

Conclusion

As we look forward to future betas of iOS 11.3, it will be interesting to see how these changes are refined and further developed. With more features and settings being added, users can expect even more improvements in the coming months. For now, if you're running iOS 11.3 on your iPhone or iPad, take advantage of this beta's many new features and updates.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon I've been running iOS 11.3 beta 1 for a week now so I figured I'd bring you guys a follow up video and tell you how it's been treating me here on my iPhone 8 plus so we're gonna be talking about some more new features and changes that I didn't talk about in my first video as well as the battery life and the performance on this first beta of 11.3 so first of all let me just say the iOS 11.3 is definitely an update you're gonna want to update to if you are not interested in jailbreaking and we're gonna talk a little bit more about why that is and also how the battery and performance have been here in a few minutes alright so my original iOS 11 point 3 beta 1 video I found over 10 new features and changes but of course after playing around with the OS a little bit more doing a little bit more research online I found some more new features and changes that I think you guys will be interested to see and once again I am using the iPhone 8 plus here for these videos instead of the iPhone 10 because my iPhone 10 is jailbroken so I'm gonna be having to show you guys screenshots of the new features on the iPhone 10 unfortunately but anyways let's go and take a look at some of these new changes and the first one comes in the App Store so if you go to an App Store page right here if you go to a page of an application and click on the review section right here and go to see all reviews you can now sort the reviews by most helpful most favorable most critical and also most recent so this is super convenient this is a feature I've been wanting since like iOS 8 days so this is a feature I've been wanting forever in the App Store to be able to sort the reviews and now you can do that with iOS 11.3 and speaking of the App Store now in iOS 11.3 you're going to be getting notifications when applications get automatically updated so you can see here we have a notification on the lock screen that shows five applications got automatically updated since the last time you unlocked your device so this is pretty convenient if you do have this option enabled in your settings I personally do not have this option enabled because it does drain battery but if you do this is a really nice new feature also in the health application we now have a new section called health records and when you click on you can see it is in its beta phase it says access your health records add online accounts for participating health networks and hospitals you can manage clinical health records from multiple sources right on your iPhone and new records are automatically updated so this is really nice if you like keeping track of your health records of course all this information will be encrypted so it's really really nice if you're into this kind of thing and we have another new feature here in the App Store and this is exclusive to the iPhone 10 so of course I will be using a screenshot here but you see we have a new button a new animation down there for iPhone 10 users when you go to install an application you can see it says confirm with side button and has a much more clear indication of what you're supposed to do to install that application so that's a nice little change there so if you go to Safari and we go to our bookmarks page right here you can see that the bookmarks now have these little icons here icon folders that really just look like the home screen of your device the home screen of your springboard instead of just a blank file folder like they were in eleven point two point five and below so you see it on the news and popular right here definitely looks a lot better now in iOS eleven point three and another feature exclusive to iPhone 10 users is for family purchasing so if you do family purchases you can now use face ID for family purchases on the iPhone 10 whereas before you just have to type in the past or the whole password every time you want to authenticate a purchase when you use family purchases now an Apple music when you tap on the artist or the album label in the now playing screen you're going to be able to choose if you wants to go to the artist the album or the playlist that's currently playing so this is a great feature that when I did have a Apple music subscription a feature that I really really wish existed so this is now a feature in 11.3 so if you do have Apple music you're definitely definitely gonna be using this so those are some more new features and changes I found in 11.3 I'm sure there are other ones out there this is just what I found so far and of course there are gonna be more features and the second beta as well so definitely stay tuned for that video now battery life on the iPhone plus running iOS eleven point three beta one has been tremendous especially for a first beta the battery life is noticeably better than iOS eleven point two point five and I found myself getting around you know thirty to thirty three minutes more on screen time on eleven point three beta 1 versus eleven point zero point five so that's definitely a great sign when you could tell that the battery life is better on a very first beta so if you're interested in battery life which most of you guys are you definitely want to update to this of course if you're not interested in jailbreaking now as far as performance goes it has been great so far I mean it does seem a little bit smoother than eleven point two point five nothing too major but in terms of just day-to-day usage and animations and 3d touch animations and things like that it does seem a little bit smoother a little bit more smooth but again it's nothing too noticeable that you're really going to notice you know most your average everyday users I'm not really gonna notice a huge performance boost with eleven point three I mean you may see that the benchmarks say it's faster but it doesn't really feel too much faster than eleven point two point five just smoother is the word I would use now I did have a couple of app crashes over the past week but that's kind of expected from a first beta but you know it's definitely not that nothing that would make me want to downgrade to eleven point 0.5 or anything like that so overall iowa's eleven point three is a really really impressive first with a lot of great new changes and great battery life as well of course with more new changes and hopefully better battery life to come of course we'll have more features and settings for battery as well which I did talk about in my first video we're definitely seeing some great changes coming in the future with a future betas of 11.3 but anyways I'm curious about you guys have you installed iOS 11.3 if you have let me know down in a comment
