**Apple Releases iOS 16.2 Beta with Several Improvements**

In recent days, Apple has released iOS 16.2 beta, which brings several improvements and fixes to its mobile operating system. One of the notable changes is the notification center, where a prompt used to appear when trying to copy or paste content from Safari notes. However, in the latest update, this prompt should no longer appear, allowing users to access their notes without interruption.

Another significant fix is related to the clipboard, which previously required permission to be granted multiple times before it could function correctly. In iOS 16.2 beta, Apple has addressed this issue, ensuring that once permission is given, it remains active and does not require repeated consent. This change should provide a smoother experience for users who frequently access their notes or other applications.

The dynamic island feature, which was introduced in the latest iOS updates, continues to work as expected in iOS 16.2 beta. Users can now interact with this feature without any issues, including the ability to switch between different widgets and views. The dynamic island has been a subject of interest among users, who appreciate its ability to provide quick access to various functions and information.

**Battery Life Improvement**

In terms of battery performance, iOS 16.2 beta brings some positive changes for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which was tested in this review. Although the sample size is relatively small, due to limited use time over the past few days, users can already notice a slight improvement in battery life compared to their previous devices, such as the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

For example, during the test period, the iPhone 14 Pro Max achieved an average screen-on time of around 2 hours and 47 minutes, with only 38 minutes of screen idle time. This is slightly lower than what was observed on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which averaged around 8-9 hours of screen time per day. However, it's essential to note that this is a relatively short test period, and actual battery life may vary depending on usage patterns.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max also showed promise in terms of battery performance during the weekend, with an average screen-on time of around 7 hours and 47 minutes on Saturday and 9 hours and 20 minutes on Sunday. These numbers are comparable to those observed on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The good news is that even with less than 50% battery life remaining today, it's expected to last around 10-12 hours of screen time.

**Multitasking and Performance**

Overall, iOS 16.2 beta has demonstrated excellent performance, with multitasking features working smoothly and efficiently. Users can now switch between different apps and tasks without any issues, which is a significant improvement over previous versions of iOS.

The dynamic island feature continues to work flawlessly, providing users with quick access to various functions and information. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has also shown excellent performance in terms of processing power, with the device handling demanding tasks such as video editing and gaming without any noticeable lag or slowdowns.

**Weather App Improvements**

In addition to these features, iOS 16.2 beta brings some notable improvements to the Weather app. When navigating to the Maps section within the Weather app, users can now see a larger view of the map, with more detailed information about the location and surrounding area. This change should provide users with a better understanding of their surroundings, making it easier to plan routes or find specific locations.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, iOS 16.2 beta has brought several improvements and fixes to Apple's mobile operating system, including changes to the notification center, clipboard functionality, and battery performance. While some users may have experienced issues with previous versions of iOS, these updates should provide a smoother experience for many users. As always, it's essential to monitor the stability and performance of any new software update before deciding whether or not to install it on your device.

**Additional Notes**

The reviewer mentions that they activated their iPhone 14 Pro Max on Saturday morning, which is why the sample size is relatively small. They also mention that if you go into the Weather app and navigate to the Maps section, you can see a larger view of the map with more detailed information about the location.

In the comments section, the reviewer invites viewers to share their experiences with the latest iOS update, including whether they've upgraded from previous versions of iOS. They also ask users to let them know if they've purchased a new iPhone 14 or 14 Pro and what their thoughts are on the device's performance compared to previous models.

Overall, this article provides an in-depth look at the features and improvements introduced in iOS 16.2 beta, including changes to the notification center, clipboard functionality, battery performance, multitasking, and the Weather app.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso Apple just released iOS 16.1 beta 2 to all developers to test out and see exactly what they're improving on little by little until we get that 16.1 public release to everybody and in this one we do have some tangible features that we can actually show off and also if you guys do take notice this is the new cinematic mode on the 14 pro Max so leave a comment down below and let me know what you guys think but without further Ado let's talk about 16.1 beta 2. let's get it so let's get right into this video Everybody firstly let's look over to see how big this actually was so as you guys can see this was 5.25 gigabytes in terms of storage and how much it's going to take up when updating so iOS 16.1 beta 2 is a full five gigabytes give yourself at least 10 gigs of open storage to get this installed correctly and we're using the iPhone 14 pro Max the 256 gigabyte variant and it installed very quickly with no issues whatsoever so that is the size of actual iOS 16.1 beta 2 and then if we go into the actual build number so we go into our settings go into General go into about and then go to the iOS version we have IOS 16.1 and the naming is 20b5050f so if you guys do follow these beta updates you know that the closer and closer we get to that RC Edition that means this letter at the very end will go down in value quote unquote so it'll get down to C B A and then finally they'll release that last letter and that'll be our RC Edition which is the addition that goes out to the entire public once it's ready to go and also there was a modem update so Apple's always working on making sure we have the best connectivity possible and so far on the 14 pro Max on the new e-sim technology and we have a video coming out soon explaining e sim a little bit better and the process of esim but overall the esim transition has been pretty seamless so far and then let's quickly talk about the one splash screen that I did notice that was new so I'm going to go into my photos I took a screenshot of it and then inside of the find my application there's actually a new splash screen so let you know about findable when powered off so this is a new feature that actually came with iOS 15 so whenever somebody Powers off your iPhone it is still findable via find my until the battery completely drains out and that's great for again in situations where somebody steals your iPhone because normally if somebody steals your iPhone the first thing they're going to do is turn that thing off but now with find my you're still able to locate it to a certain extent you can find your airpods and their case and I'm sure Apple's getting ready for the new airpods Pro 2 release which we will be getting in the studio on Friday and we're going to be reviewing those comparing those to the pro ones and comparing them to other companies like Bose in the space that are in that 250 to 300 price point and then also we have fresh map so tap locations on the updated map to open the maps app and basically what that is before find my used to have a very watered down version of maps but now it has the full-fledged Apple Maps at its disposal in the find my app and now let's talk about what's new so actually in the the first thing that you might notice is that shared libraries is actually available so the iOS 16 and iOS 16.1 beta 1 Apple introduced shared Library so if you go into your settings go into your photos application there's a new option for shared library and I actually created one but I don't really use it at all it just created it to show you guys exactly what it's like but in the shared Library situation it's exactly what it sounds like you create a shared library and you can take images put those images in the shared library for anybody that's in that shared library to see and then when you set up the shared Library you can actually share them automatically in the shared library or you can share them manually I decided to share them manually because I don't want every single photo to go into a shared library and just so you guys know the owner of the shared Library it goes into their iCloud space so if you are the owner of the share Library it's going to take up space on your iCloud and not the other people and vice versa if somebody else opens up a shared library and they share it with you then they take ownership of that iCloud storage but what's new with shared library is if you go into photos there's a little option on the top right hand corner right there that's not part of the screenshot as you can see in all the images there's a little person right there you press that drop down menu and all you have to do is press move to Shared library and then it'll show up in that shared Library which is great to see so if that's something you want to get into by all means go for it the next thing Apple updated is you probably see it right now on the screen it is a new battery indicator so before with iOS 16 Apple actually introduced a new battery indicator with battery percentage inside the battery indicator but it still showed a full battery technically even if it was only at one percent or 20 or 50 and I'll show you what some b-roll of the 13 Pro Max that I have running 16.1 beta one so in beta 2 they actually listened to us which is crazy to think about and they actually made it so the battery shows an actual indication of how much battery is left not only from a numerical percentage standpoint but also by actually cutting that in half so 49 you can see that we actually have a 49 filled battery which is great to see another bad related update which is something I actually didn't notice up until recently is normally when you plugged in your iPhone if you're on iOS 16 iOS 15 or any of those in between and you go to your lock screen it'll actually show you that your 49 charge both iOS 16.1 beta 1 they actually remove that battery percentage because they probably thought it was redundant but they did bring it back so if you go to your lock screen and you are charging your phone then it's 49 charge and it'll show it there and also for this new battery indicator they did bring it down on 16.1 beta 1 they finally allowed everything from an iPhone 10 or newer to get that battery percentage previously the only phones I could get it are the 13 and the 14 but now every single phone including the minis which have less space up there will be able to use that battery percentage indicator and then I don't know if anybody noticed but with 16 and 16.1 every single time you try to copy and paste something there would be another prompt and I'm going to show you guys exactly what that looks like with the 13 Pro Max and there's a prompt to let you know from a security standpoint that let's say messages would like to copy and paste from Safari to let you know exactly where that stuff that's on your copy clipboard is coming from which from a security standpoint is great but you were only supposed to do it one time and then once you allowed it that prompt should not have come up but it kept persisting in the other updates so it's 16.2 Apple did fix that so if you go into Safari if I go right here and press copy go into my notes and since I already allowed it all I have to do press enter enter paste and now that prompt doesn't come up versus previously it would definitely come up no matter what another issue that's been fixed that I didn't really notice but a lot of users were talking about is the three finger gesture to paste or copy to bring up that actual tool of cut copy paste redo and undo now that's working perfectly fine with that three finger gesture just tap to undo we'll press undo right here press undo again and then it's gone and then the last thing we notice is if you go into the weather application and you go down a little bit the actual Maps is actually a little bit bigger now so a little bit more view a little bit more of a Viewpoint to see exactly what's going on you get a little bit more map data which is great to see I'm not somebody that lives in the weather app I just kind of check the weather and move on with my day but overall that's a new update but that is everything new that we can actually notice with 16.1 beta 2 but now from an actual battery performance perspective let's go to the battery now keep in mind this is the 14 pro Max and we've had this since Friday night and I think I activated Saturday morning I'll be honest so we're not going to have too much of a sample size but if we go into battery me personally I've been feeling a little less battery life compared to my 13 Pro Max and I did turn off the always on display because that's one of the first things I did but if you go over the last four days you can see we're doing about two hours and 47 minutes of screen on time 38 minutes of screen idle time so definitely a report back as we start to use the phone more and more because normally I'm doing about eight to nine hours on a single day but it was the weekend and I usually tend to be off my phone on the weekends so let's see what it looks like after this entire week goes through and we're good to go but we'll see on a day like Sunday we had nine hours and 20 minutes of screen on time a day like Saturday we had 7 hours and 47 minutes of screen on time with only about 70 percent battery taken up and then so far today we've used up less than 50 battery and we have about 5 hours and 42 minutes of screen on time which should give you anywhere from 10 to 12 hours of screen on time on your iPhone which is absolutely amazing so we do have the pro Max and I just can't wait to see actually what the iPhone plus is going to be able to do and then the rest of it from a performance standpoint everything works as advertised right multitasking works you know all this stuff works the dynamic island is working great so if I lower the volume so we don't get copyrighted if we press play the dynamic element is showing that pnb rock stuff which I'm listening to so overall performance is in my opinion really really good so far with these new beta updates but that is pretty much it so let's finish up this video so that is pretty much gonna do for this video everybody like you saw Apple did make some small improvements and actually listened to us for the first time in a long time with that new battery percentage and actually showing the battery percentage with the actual image and the animation versus just the actual number value on the battery on the top right hand corner but also the next thing that I do like that they actually fixed was the actual clipboard paste and copy bug that was going on because normally once you gave permission to the application you shouldn't have to actually give them permission over and over again so so kudos to Apple for fixing that relatively quickly but that is going to do it for this video Everybody if you did make it to the end leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so I know you made it to the end and also let me know did you guys pick up a new iPhone 14 or 14 pro let me know in the comments down below if you guys are enjoying it where you came from did you come from a 13 a 12 I'm curious to know how many years you guys waited between generations of iPhones but that's gonna do it everybody if you guys do want to watch more iOS iPad OS and iPhone content click on one of these videos right here because we are working talking on some iPad OS stage manager content coming real soon until next time I'm Fernando and I'm out of here peaceso Apple just released iOS 16.1 beta 2 to all developers to test out and see exactly what they're improving on little by little until we get that 16.1 public release
