As we approach the expected release date of iOS 15 public beta 1, it's exciting to think about what features and updates Apple will bring to the table. A commonly speculated time frame for the public beta is around 7th or 8th, so let's take a look at some rumors and predictions surrounding this highly anticipated software update.

Apple has always been unpredictable when it comes to their release cycles, and they've done things in the past that have completely changed history. This year seems particularly promising, with rumors of new features like under-screen Touch ID technology on upcoming iPhone models. According to analyst Ming Chi Ko, who recently published a note to investors, Apple is planning four iPhone models for 2022, none of which will be the mini size seen in previous years. Instead, we can expect two variations of each size – 6.1 inch and 6.7 inch models – with the high-end Pro models featuring improved wide-angle cameras with 48 megapixels. While megapixels don't always tell the full story, it's great to see that Apple is investing in camera upgrades.

Another rumor to keep an eye on is the upcoming iPhone SE. According to Ko, the 2022 iPhone SE will be roughly the same as the 2020 model but with a few key updates – including 5G support and a faster processor. What's most exciting about this rumor is that it suggests the iPhone SE will be the cheapest 5G iPhone ever, potentially priced lower than the iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini at $6.99. This could be a great deal for those looking to upgrade their older phones or add a 5G option without breaking the bank.

Of course, not all news is about iOS 15 – Apple has been making waves in other areas as well. TrendForce recently published a report that claims upcoming iPhone 13 models will not come with a one-terabyte storage option, instead sticking to 512GB as the maximum size. They also revealed that all iPhone 13 models will have smaller notches, but only the Pro models will feature the long-awaited 120Hz refresh rate. One interesting twist is that the LiDAR scanner, which was rumored to be on all iPhone 13 models, will instead be exclusive to the Pros.

In other news, Apple's Beats Studio Buds were officially released earlier this week. Priced at $150, these earbuds offer active noise cancellation and transparency mode but lack a W1 or H1 chip – which could be seen as a major drawback for some users. However, their mid-range price point makes them an attractive option for those looking to upgrade from older Beats models or add 5G connectivity without shelling out top dollar.

As we wait for the public beta release of iOS 15, it's worth noting that Apple is known for keeping its plans closely under wraps. The company has a history of surprising us with new features and updates, so anything can happen before the official release date. We'll have to wait and see what Apple has in store for us, but one thing is certain – we can't wait to dive into the public beta and share our thoughts with you all.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is brandon an ios 15 beta 2 has been out for a couple of days now and in this video just like we do every weekend i wanted to cover even more new features and changes found in the software along with looking at the performance the battery life the bug fixes the connectivity and more we also have new information on some upcoming apple products which we will talk about near the end of this video but anyways yeah ios 15 beta 2 it came out on a thursday and late on a thursday at that which is very unusual for a .0 like a major release on the second beta i'm not sure the last time that one came out on a thursday but that is when we got it when people least expected it myself included but anyways we have quite a few additional new features and changes that i wanted to talk about before we got into the performance the battery life and all of that so let's go ahead and talk about some additional features here in beta 2. so the biggest new feature in beta 2 is share play so this is where you can share your screen you can you know have listening parties you can have watch parties and things like that and i found some additional changes here in beta 2 while doing this so there are a couple of things here if i go ahead and share my screen we're going to share my screen of course we do have a countdown i have this call pulled up over here as well and you can see it shows join screen sharing right there on the other device if you tap on open it actually puts it in full screen so in the video before i didn't really you know have an idea how to do that properly but that is how you do it and also when you're screen sharing the device that you are screen sharing on you will see up in the status bar we have a little purple icon up there which i have not seen a purple one in the status bar before but that is new here also if we go into messages you can see that while the call is active we have a screen sharing bubble right there that shows one person active and it says unknown and then also here in beta so you can see that all of the facetime calls actually show up in the conversation view in the messages application which is actually pretty nice i almost wish that regular phone calls would show up in this view as well but yeah so we have a couple of things in here as well so if i go ahead i'm going to stop sharing my screen and i'm going to do a listening party here so we're going to go ahead and play a song so while i am active on this facetime call if i just go ahead and start playing music right here i will get a prompt to you know share play it to everybody so you can see right here it shows started surfaces for share play and you can see down here it actually shows one listening so this little bar down here you can see it shows one person is listening and how many people are on the call and also if we go into the queue this is where we can actually move it around together so for example if i go into the queue on the device that i'm facetiming with or doing share play with if i go into the music application you can see it's going to load it's going to pull up the song that's playing right now but you can see when we go into the cue here i can go ahead and move around and you can see the cue moves around on both devices so that is kind of you know look at that in action which is pretty neat and also when somebody updates the cue or moves songs around in the queue you will get a pop-up up top so i'll just move something around and you will see up top i get a little notification saying that the queue has been updated so share play is shipping up to be a massive feature an absolute hit in ios 15. i think it's going to be huge in the fall when it gets released to everybody but that was just a little bit more of an in-depth look at share play here in ios 15. now i did just go out of dark mode but i'm gonna go back into dark mode here for a second to show you guys that dark mode in safari is not actually a full dark mode so it's actually more of a gray so you'll see up top that it's more of like a gray than a pitch black so in beta 1 it was a lot more dark than it is here in beta 2. especially when we go to this menu right here when we go to add a new tab it's just more of a gray tone than a pure black and i actually like it better we also have some changes inside of the music application and you can see right underneath of listen now top pix is no longer bold so this is beta 1 on the left beta 2 on the right you can see top picks is no longer bold and also it shows you know some different text under there also recently played is no longer bold and also if we go into the library right here you will see that the arrows are a little bit more narrow and also the recently added is no longer bold either so it just seems to be across the board here inside of the music application we also have some additional changes inside of the weather application here that i did not notice in the initial what's new video so you can see right here that the weather map has more rounded edges and it's also slightly smaller here in beta 2 compared to beta 1. also in beta 1 it said c map but now in beta 2 it says c more and then also on the map you can see the marker is black in beta 1 and in beta 2 it is white and then also at the very bottom you can see some slight changes to who apple is crediting for the weather information we have a new logo there and also the weather channel logo is centered and in the middle whereas before it was on the far right and we also have you know clickable links for weather data and map data also new in beta 2 when we go to report an incident you can see that accident is now renamed to crash now if we go into the clock application and go to alarms we can now tap on an alarm to edit it whereas before we could not simply tap on the alarm we would have to go to edit and then tap on it so this is a very small change but it's a nice quality of life change that's going to make your life easier when you want to edit an alarm inside of the podcast application we have a slight verbage change here if we tap on these three dots up in the top right of a podcast show you can see that it used to say unfollow now it says unfollow show so just say minor difference there but it's more clarity on what you're doing if we go to our lock screen or our notification center you will see that the now playing view is a little bit smaller it's a little bit more compact and it's also a little bit more rounded off than it was in beta 1. so it's very hard to tell but we do have slightly more rounded edges here in beta 2 compared to beta 1. the books application icon also has a very slight change here in beta 2 so it's really really hard to tell and i don't even have the application installed on my beta 1 device you can see that's what it looks like on beta 2 and on beta 1 it's right here so just a slight change to the shape it's a little bit more you know rounded off here in beta two so it's very small change you'd have to really look at it in photoshop to tell a difference also in my beta 1 video i did talk to you guys about this feature right here if we tap on the three dots and then go to add to quick notes that's a feature i talked about in my initial what's new video but of course it doesn't do anything and i tried to get it to show up on my ipad which is on ipad os you know 15 beta 2 but it doesn't continue on there or anything so it seems like this is just a bug feature right now that just really doesn't work at all unless you know quick note is coming to ios which i'm not sure if that's the case or if it's just going to be more of a continuity thing where you can just add this to a quick note on the ipad or on your mac so we'll have to wait and see on that and then also hotspot connections are getting more secure in ios 15. so with ios 15 beta 2 hotspot connections now use a wpa3 security protocol so this is going to make the connection just more secure overall which is nice also new in ipad west 15 beta 2 apps will soon be able to request access to use more ram so apple just introduced a new entitlement with the release of beta 2 and apple says that this is going to inform the system that an app quote may perform better by exceeding the default app memory limit so we probably won't be able to use the full you know 8 or 16 gigabytes of ram like we see on the m1 ipad pros but this might mean the applications on those m1 ipad pros could run significantly faster since they will have access to you know using more of that ram that they have so we'll have to see you know what happens and what applications implement this feature this fall and it should be very interesting and it could be you know it could mean good things for the m1 ipad pro that a lot of people complain about especially when ipad os 15 got announced because it really didn't say anything you know apple didn't say anything about taking advantage of all of that ram now as far as bug fixes go ios 15 beta 2 has a lot of bug fixes so i did notice that first of all face time you know a lot of the bugs are gone however share play is laggy and i do have random crashes and face time when i am doing share play but aside from that just regular facetime video and regular facetime audio calls are much better here on beta 2. also in safari i did also notice that safari is significantly better than beta 1. it's still not perfect but i don't have the really annoying issue one of my most annoying issues was when i would be typing something in the box would just go away even before i could search and i would have to retype it out but that has not happened to me once here and in beta 2. so thankfully that has been fixed and then also my other really annoying issue i had in beta 1 had to do with icloud private relay so thankfully i've not had that randomly disconnect or reconnect since installing this so that is good news because that was really you know just throwing me off in beta 1. now icloud private relay still does you know reduce my speeds i still have slower speeds when i have that enabled so i do tend to disable it a lot but it is at least better here in beta 2. also app specific notification sounds have been fixed in beta 2 so for instance snapchat will just use the default notification sound instead of the one that it's supposed to use and same with espn and multiple other applications but that has been fixed thankfully in beta 2. also spatial audio the head tracking is so much better than it was in beta 1. so like if i go into my accessibility and then down to airpods my airpods max for example i had this disabled for the longest time they follow iphone because it was just so bad it didn't really follow the iphone very well at all but in beta 2 it does follow the iphone better than it did in beta 1 but i still i think prefer spatial audio to be off when i'm listening to music just because sometimes i set my phone off to the side and you know i don't want the sound to be just on one side also if you are using shortcuts in beta 1 you would probably notice that the gallery was extremely laggy you can see we actually have a bug right there that's the first time i've seen that one you can see the gallery kind of just goes down and it overlaps with the content right there so definitely a bug and gallery i will report that and make sure you guys are reporting all your bugs by the way with the feedback application but anyways gallery is just a lot less laggy now than it was in beta 1. it was borderline unusable in beta 1 but now it is definitely better and then as far as cell connectivity goes cell connectivity is better here in beta 2 as well i have noticed that it doesn't seem to be as spotty and it doesn't disconnect from 5g as often so a lot of times on beta 1 it would just quickly disconnect from 5g and go back to lte and vice versa but now it sustains longer like usual on beta 2. so it has gotten better but as for wi-fi connectivity that also seems better but this is something i will have to continue monitoring because it does not happen all the time so sometimes like when i get on a facetime call sometimes it just disconnects from my wifi and switches to lte and causes like a five second pause in the conversation so i often monitor that and i'm expecting it to be a little bit better here in beta too though but as far as remaining bugs go i still do have the bug where the volume is just kind of all over the place so when i go in and out of applications like youtube like music pretty much any application when i go out and go into another application the volume will be significantly lower or significantly higher than it was you know prior so that is a bug that i will be reporting but it is still present here in beta 2. also in photos the memories are still not shareable so i'm not sure why the share button right there is grayed out up top but that is still a remaining issue here in beta 2 and then also i did notice that apps are actually crashing more than they did on beta 1 for me on my iphone 12 pro and also on my ipad pro my m1 ipad pro apps are crashing more than they were on beta 1 which is really weird doesn't really make any sense but it is just something i've been experiencing and while we're talking about that let's just go ahead and elaborate a little bit more on the performance and the performance on beta 2 is better it's going to be better for pretty much everybody across the board that's kind of undeniable because beta ones are always you know very buggy and beta two usually always fixes a lot of the issues and the number one issue i had was with the control center especially when i was in an application control center would be very slow to come down i've not experienced that once here in beta 2 so thankfully that has been fixed and also the app switcher lag is gone as well when i go into the app switcher and select a certain application and then try to go back to the one i was just in that would lag but that has not happened in beta 2 either so it appears that a lot of the lag is gone in beta two there is still you know stutter it does still feel like an early beta but it is much better than beta one now as far as battery life goes battery life is better for sure on beta two i've been able to tell just within you know a couple of days of using it if i pull up my main device here my 12 pro let me go ahead out of dark mode right here let's go into the battery and you guys can see the chart i have right here also there is a slight change to the battery chart right here you can see that the lightning bolts look a little bit bigger just looks a little bit different than it did previously but you can see my battery life there so it's still not perfect it's still you know not near as good as it was on ios 14.7 or 14.6 ios 14 is still going to have better battery life for sure but you can see that the battery life is you know draining but not draining as fast as it did in beta 1. if i go to my last six days right here you can see kind of my usage and the stats right there but battery life i will be able to give you guys a more accurate you know update on battery life overall in next weekend's follow-up video because i will be using it for over a week at that point so stay tuned for that and if you guys have any you know input on your battery life let me know down in the comment below if it's better or worse for you than beta 1. so now what's next for apple so we are on a two-week cycle a little bit over two weeks because of course we did get beta one on the seventh right here and of course two weeks would have been the 21st but we waited all the way until the 24th to get beta two but i would assume that we are still on a two-week cycle so that would put us at the week of july fourth which is a holiday and it's observed on monday the fifth so apple may wait until july 6th to push out the third developer beta for ios 15. now where things get tricky is the public beta because the public beta apple said july but july 1st actually falls on thursday which would be a week from the release of beta 2. so i'm not sure if apple is going to push it out then or if you know developer beta 3 is public beta 1. so it could come out on july 1st if in fact beta 2 developer beta 2 is public beta 1 or if it doesn't come out on the first i would expect it to come out you know a couple of days after the release of developer beta 3 most likely on like the 8th right there the 7th or the 8th is when realistically i would expect to see ios 15 public beta 1. so should be interesting of course apple is unpredictable so anything could happen it's really hard to predict what they're going to do because they really just change up history you know easily especially this year they've done things that they just have never done before so we'll have to wait and see on that now aside from the software side of things we also had some apple news come out over the past week that i wanted to briefly run through and kind of give you guys a recap of what happened this week so first off apple analyst ming chi ko published a note to investors recently and said that the upcoming 2022 iphones could feature under screen touch id technology so he says the apple is planning four models in 2022 and none of those will be the mini size like we saw with the iphone 12 mini and of course this year we are expecting a 13 mini as well or a 12 s mini whatever it's gonna be but in 2022 we're just going to have two variations so two variations of the 6.1 inch and two variations of the 6.7 inch models so he also mentions that the high-end 6.1 and 6.7 inch models which are the pro models will have an improved wide-angle camera with 48 megapixels so we should see a improved camera but then again megapixels don't really tell the full story that doesn't really say it's going to be that much better but it is good to see that we are going to have an improved camera as expected and then co also mentioned that the upcoming 2022 iphone se will be quote roughly the same as the 2020 iphone se but this time it will support 5g and also have a faster processor now he says that the se will be the cheapest 5g iphone ever which means that it will cost less than the iphone 12 mini and presumably the 13 mini as well which was 6.99 so it's looking like the 2020 se is going to be a great deal especially for a phone with 5g so it's also worth noting that he did not mention an iphone se plus like we've heard about you know previously especially last year so that might not be coming at all at least not in early 2022 when we're expecting this new sc to be released it's probably going to be released at a spring event in 2022. now as for the iphone 13 trendforce recently published a report that claims that the upcoming 2021 iphones will not come in a one terabyte storage option so we heard rumors about this previously but it looks like apple is going to be sticking to just 512 as the max size you can get for the iphone 13s now they also said that all models will have a smaller notch but the pro models are going to have the long awaited 120 hertz refresh rate so that'll be nice and then the lidar scanner is also going to be on the pros only as an exclusive so we heard previously that the lidar might be on all models but it looks like that may not be happening it's going to stay on just the pros and they're also going to have that 120 hertz refresh rate which will be nice and then finally the new beats studio buds were officially released on friday you could pick these up in the apple store or order them online and get them shipped to you they're 150 bucks and they do have active noise cancellation and transparency mode but they do not have a w1 or h1 chip which is a huge disadvantage or kind of a huge con in my opinion so they are kind of an in-between option between the air pods and the airpods pro so they are priced really nicely because they are in the middle of those two but you know you can try those out for yourself and see if you like them if you are a fan of the beats brand and maybe not of the airpods brand but anyways guys there you have it that is my follow up review on ios 15 beta 2 after using it for a few days i will have more thoughts on this next weekend and i will ask you guys for your input next weekend as well and hopefully we see the public as early as next week it's possible probably not likely but it is possible but anyways hope you guys did enjoy this video if you did i would appreciate if you gave it a thumbs up and also make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any future ios 15 content and of course next week's follow-up video and of course all the fun stuff coming after ios 15 public beta gets released but anyways guys thanks again for watching and i'll see you soon youwhat's up guys my name is brandon an ios 15 beta 2 has been out for a couple of days now and in this video just like we do every weekend i wanted to cover even more new features and changes found in the software along with looking at the performance the battery life the bug fixes the connectivity and more we also have new information on some upcoming apple products which we will talk about near the end of this video but anyways yeah ios 15 beta 2 it came out on a thursday and late on a thursday at that which is very unusual for a .0 like a major release on the second beta i'm not sure the last time that one came out on a thursday but that is when we got it when people least expected it myself included but anyways we have quite a few additional new features and changes that i wanted to talk about before we got into the performance the battery life and all of that so let's go ahead and talk about some additional features here in beta 2. so the biggest new feature in beta 2 is share play so this is where you can share your screen you can you know have listening parties you can have watch parties and things like that and i found some additional changes here in beta 2 while doing this so there are a couple of things here if i go ahead and share my screen we're going to share my screen of course we do have a countdown i have this call pulled up over here as well and you can see it shows join screen sharing right there on the other device if you tap on open it actually puts it in full screen so in the video before i didn't really you know have an idea how to do that properly but that is how you do it and also when you're screen sharing the device that you are screen sharing on you will see up in the status bar we have a little purple icon up there which i have not seen a purple one in the status bar before but that is new here also if we go into messages you can see that while the call is active we have a screen sharing bubble right there that shows one person active and it says unknown and then also here in beta so you can see that all of the facetime calls actually show up in the conversation view in the messages application which is actually pretty nice i almost wish that regular phone calls would show up in this view as well but yeah so we have a couple of things in here as well so if i go ahead i'm going to stop sharing my screen and i'm going to do a listening party here so we're going to go ahead and play a song so while i am active on this facetime call if i just go ahead and start playing music right here i will get a prompt to you know share play it to everybody so you can see right here it shows started surfaces for share play and you can see down here it actually shows one

that in action which is pretty neat and also when somebody updates the cue or moves songs around in the queue you will get a pop-up up top so i'll just move something around and you will see up top i get a little notification saying that the queue has been updated so share play is shipping up to be a massive feature an absolute hit in ios 15. i think it's going to be huge in the fall when it gets released to everybody but that was just a little bit more of an in-depth look at share play here in ios 15. now i did just go out of dark mode but i'm gonna go back into dark mode here for a second to show you guys that dark mode in safari is not actually a full dark mode so it's actually more of a gray so you'll see up top that it's more of like a gray than a pitch black so in beta 1 it was a lot more dark than it is here in beta 2. especially when we go to this menu right here when we go to add a new tab it's just more of a gray tone than a pure black and i actually like it better we also have some changes inside of the music application and you can see right underneath of listen now top pix is no longer bold so this is beta 1 on the left beta 2 on the right you can see top picks is no longer bold and also it shows you know some different text under there also recently played is no longer bold and also if we go into the library right here you will see that the arrows are a little bit more narrow and also the recently added is no longer bold either so it just seems to be across the board here inside of the music application we also have some additional changes inside of the weather application here that i did not notice in the initial what's new video so you can see right here that the weather map has more rounded edges and it's also slightly smaller here in beta 2

was on the far right and we also have you know clickable links for weather data and map data also new in beta 2 when we go to report an incident you can see that accident is now renamed to crash now if we go into the clock application and go to alarms we can now tap on an alarm to edit it whereas before we could not simply tap on the alarm we would have to go to edit and then tap on it so this is a very small change but it's a nice quality of life change that's going to make your life easier when you want to edit an alarm inside of the podcast application we have a slight verbage change here if we tap on these three dots up in the top right of a podcast show you can see that it used to say unfollow now it says unfollow show so just say minor difference there but it's more clarity on what you're doing if we go to our lock screen or our notification center you will see that the now playing view is a little bit smaller it's a little bit more compact and it's also a little bit more rounded off than it was in beta 1. so it's very hard to tell but we do have slightly more rounded edges here in beta 2 compared to beta 1. the books application icon also has a very slight change here in beta 2 so it's really really hard to tell and i don't even have the application installed on my beta 1 device you can see that's what it looks like on beta 2 and on beta 1 it's right here so just a slight change to the shape it's a little bit more you know rounded off here in beta two so it's very small change you'd have to really look at it in photoshop to tell a difference also in my beta 1 video i did talk to you guys about this feature right here if we tap on the three dots and then go to add to quick notes that's a feature i talked about in my initial what's new video but of course it doesn't do anything and i tried to get it to show up on my ipad which is on ipad os you know 15 beta 2 but it doesn't continue on there or anything so it seems like this is just a bug feature right now that just really doesn't work at all unless you know quick note is coming to ios which i'm not sure if that's the case or if it's just going to be more of a continuity thing where you can just add this to a quick note on the ipad or on your mac so we'll have to wait and see on that and then also hotspot connections are getting more secure in ios 15. so with ios 15 beta 2 hotspot connections now use a wpa3 security protocol so this is going to make the connection just more secure overall which is nice also new in ipad west 15 beta 2 apps will soon be able to request access to use more ram so apple just introduced a new entitlement with the release of beta 2 and apple says that this is going to inform the system that an app quote may perform better by exceeding the default app memory limit so we probably won't be able to use the full you know 8 or 16 gigabytes of ram like we see on the m1 ipad pros but this might mean the applications on those m1 ipad pros could run significantly faster since they will have access to you know using more of that ram that they have so we'll have to see you know what happens and what applications implement this feature this fall and it should be very interesting and it could be you know it could mean good things for the m1 ipad pro that a lot of people complain about especially when ipad os 15 got announced because it really didn't say anything you know apple didn't say anything about taking advantage of all of that ram now as far as bug fixes go ios 15 beta 2 has a lot of bug fixes so i did notice that first of all face time you know a lot of the bugs are gone however share play is laggy and i do have random crashes and face time when i am doing share play but aside from that just regular facetime video and regular facetime audio calls are much better here on beta 2. also in safari i did also notice that safari is significantly better than beta 1. it's still not perfect but i don't have the really annoying issue one of my most annoying issues was when i would be typing something in the box would just go away even before i could search and i would have to retype it out but that has not happened to me once here and in beta 2. so thankfully that has been fixed and then also my other really annoying issue i had in beta 1 had to do with icloud private relay so thankfully i've not had that randomly disconnect or reconnect since installing this so that is good news because that was really you know just throwing me off in beta 1. now icloud private relay still does you know reduce my speeds i still have slower speeds when i have that enabled so i do tend to disable it a lot but it is at least better here in beta 2. also app specific notification sounds have been fixed in beta 2 so for instance snapchat will just use the default notification sound instead of the one that it's supposed to use and same with espn and multiple other applications but that has been fixed thankfully in beta 2. also spatial audio the head tracking is so much better than it was in beta 1. so like if i go into my accessibility and then down to airpods my airpods max for example i had this disabled for the longest time they follow iphone because it was just so bad it didn't really follow the iphone very well at all but in beta 2 it does follow the iphone better than it did in beta 1 but i still i think prefer spatial audio to be off when i'm listening to music just because sometimes i set my phone off to the side and you know i don't want the sound to be just on one side also if you are using shortcuts in beta 1 you would probably notice that the gallery was extremely laggy you can see we actually have a bug right there that's the first time i've seen that one you can see the gallery kind of just goes down and it overlaps with the content right there so definitely a bug and gallery i will report that and make sure you guys are reporting all your bugs by the way with the feedback application but anyways gallery is just a lot less laggy now than it was in beta 1. it was borderline unusable in beta 1 but now it is definitely better and then as far as cell connectivity goes cell connectivity is better here in beta 2 as well i have noticed that it doesn't seem to be as spotty and it doesn't disconnect from 5g as often so a lot of times on beta 1 it would just quickly disconnect from 5g and go back to lte and vice versa but now it sustains longer like usual on beta 2. so it has gotten better but as for wi-fi connectivity that also seems better but this is something i will have to continue monitoring because it does not happen all the time so sometimes like when i get on a facetime call sometimes it just disconnects from my wifi and switches to lte and causes like a five second pause in the conversation so i often monitor that and i'm expecting it to be a little bit better here in beta too though but as far as remaining bugs go i still do have the bug where the volume is just kind of all over the place so when i go in and out of applications like youtube like music pretty much any application when i go out and go into another application the volume will be significantly lower or significantly higher than it was you know prior so that is a bug that i will be reporting but it is still present here in beta 2. also in photos the memories are still not shareable so i'm not sure why the share button right there is grayed out up top but that is still a remaining issue here in beta 2 and then also i did notice that apps are actually crashing more than they did on beta 1 for me on my iphone 12 pro and also on my ipad pro my m1 ipad pro apps are crashing more than they were on beta 1 which is really weird doesn't really make any sense but it is just something i've been experiencing and while we're talking about that let's just go ahead and elaborate a little bit more on the performance and the performance on beta 2 is better it's going to be better for pretty much everybody across the board that's kind of undeniable because beta ones are always you know very buggy and beta two usually always fixes a lot of the issues and the number one issue i had was with the control center especially when i was in an application control center would be very slow to come down i've not experienced that once here in beta 2 so thankfully that has been fixed and also the app switcher lag is gone as well when i go into the app switcher and select a certain application and then try to go back to the one i was just in that would lag but that has not happened in beta 2 either so it appears that a lot of the lag is gone in beta two there is still you know stutter it does still feel like an early beta but it is much better than beta one now as far as battery life goes battery life is better for sure on beta two i've been able to tell just within you know a couple of days of using it if i pull up my main device here my 12 pro let me go ahead out of dark mode right here let's go into the battery and you guys can see the chart i have right here also there is a slight change to the battery chart right here you can see that the lightning bolts look a little bit bigger just looks a little bit different than it did previously but you can see my battery life there so it's still not perfect it's still you know not near as good as it was on ios 14.7 or 14.6 ios 14 is still going to have better battery life for sure but you can see that the battery life is you know draining but not draining as fast as it did in beta 1. if i go to my last six days right here you can see kind of my usage and the stats right there but battery life i will be able to give you guys a more accurate you know update on battery life overall in next weekend's follow-up video because i will be using it for over a week at that point so stay tuned for that and if you guys have any you know input on your battery life let me know down in the comment below if it's better or worse for you than beta 1. so now what's next for apple so we are on a two-week cycle a little bit over two weeks because of course we did get beta one on the seventh right here and of course two weeks would have been the 21st but we waited all the way until the 24th to get beta two but i would assume that we are still on a two-week cycle so that would put us at the week of july fourth which is a holiday and it's observed on monday the fifth so apple may wait until july 6th to push out the third developer beta for ios 15. now where things get tricky is the public beta because the public beta apple said july but july 1st actually falls on thursday which would be a week from the release of beta 2. so i'm not sure if apple is going to push it out then or if you know developer beta 3 is public beta 1. so it could come out on july 1st if in fact beta 2 developer beta 2 is public beta 1 or if it doesn't come out on the first i would expect it to come out you know a couple of days after the release of developer beta 3 most likely on like the 8th right there the 7th or the 8th is when realistically i would expect to see ios 15 public beta 1. so should be interesting of course apple is unpredictable so anything could happen it's really hard to predict what they're going to do because they really just change up history you know easily especially this year they've done things that they just have never done before so we'll have to wait and see on that now aside from the software side of things we also had some apple news come out over the past week that i wanted to briefly run through and kind of give you guys a recap of what happened this week so first off apple analyst ming chi ko published a note to investors recently and said that the upcoming 2022 iphones could feature under screen touch id technology so he says the apple is planning four models in 2022 and none of those will be the mini size like we saw with the iphone 12 mini and of course this year we are expecting a 13 mini as well or a 12 s mini whatever it's gonna be but in 2022 we're just going to have two variations so two variations of the 6.1 inch and two variations of the 6.7 inch models so he also mentions that the high-end 6.1 and 6.7 inch models which are the pro models will have an improved wide-angle camera with 48 megapixels so we should see a improved camera but then again megapixels don't really tell the full story that doesn't really say it's going to be that much better but it is good to see that we are going to have an improved camera as expected and then co also mentioned that the upcoming 2022 iphone se will be quote roughly the same as the 2020 iphone se but this time it will support 5g and also have a faster processor now he says that the se will be the cheapest 5g iphone ever which means that it will cost less than the iphone 12 mini and presumably the 13 mini as well which was 6.99 so it's looking like the 2020 se is going to be a great deal especially for a phone with 5g so it's also worth noting that he did not mention an iphone se plus like we've heard about you know previously especially last year so that might not be coming at all at least not in early 2022 when we're expecting this new sc to be released it's probably going to be released at a spring event in 2022. now as for the iphone 13 trendforce recently published a report that claims that the upcoming 2021 iphones will not come in a one terabyte storage option so we heard rumors about this previously but it looks like apple is going to be sticking to just 512 as the max size you can get for the iphone 13s now they also said that all models will have a smaller notch but the pro models are going to have the long awaited 120 hertz refresh rate so that'll be nice and then the lidar scanner is also going to be on the pros only as an exclusive so we heard previously that the lidar might be on all models but it looks like that may not be happening it's going to stay on just the pros and they're also going to have that 120 hertz refresh rate which will be nice and then finally the new beats studio buds were officially released on friday you could pick these up in the apple store or order them online and get them shipped to you they're 150 bucks and they do have active noise cancellation and transparency mode but they do not have a w1 or h1 chip which is a huge disadvantage or kind of a huge con in my opinion so they are kind of an in-between option between the air pods and the airpods pro so they are priced really nicely because they are in the middle of those two but you know you can try those out for yourself and see if you like them if you are a fan of the beats brand and maybe not of the airpods brand but anyways guys there you have it that is my follow up review on ios 15 beta 2 after using it for a few days i will have more thoughts on this next weekend and i will ask you guys for your input next weekend as well and hopefully we see the public as early as next week it's possible probably not likely but it is possible but anyways hope you guys did enjoy this video if you did i would appreciate if you gave it a thumbs up and also make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any future ios 15 content and of course next week's follow-up video and of course all the fun stuff coming after ios 15 public beta gets released but anyways guys thanks again for watching and i'll see you soon you\n"
