iOS 11.2.5 Beta 3 _ The LOUDEST Release Yet

Apple has Officially Released iOS 11.2.5 Beta 3 to Register Developers Today

For developers who are eager to get their hands on the latest version of iOS, Apple has officially released iOS 11.2.5 beta 3 today. This new software will populate on devices under Settings and Software Updates, allowing developers to test and explore its features before it is made available to the public.

Public Beta Testers Still Waiting

However, public beta testers are still waiting for their turn to experience this new version of iOS. According to the narrator, public beta testers can expect to receive the update later this afternoon, although it may be pushed out tomorrow instead. When coming from a previous 2.2 beta 3, users can expect to see an update size of around 131 megabytes, depending on their device and the software they are currently running.

Build Number Indicates More Betas Ahead

The build number for iOS 11.2.5 beta 3 is 15D50-4-9-E, a longer build number that typically indicates more betas are in the pipeline before the official launch of the software. The narrator also notes that the Feedback application is still on the springboard, suggesting that this is not yet the gold master copy and that there will be one to two more betas before the official release.

New Features in iOS 11.2.5 Beta 3

One notable new feature in iOS 11.2.5 beta 3 is a change in system sounds. When using the dialer app, the narrator notices that system sounds are identical to those on an older version of iOS. However, when typing on the keyboard, system sounds have been pushed up a notch and are much louder than before. This means that users will not be able to adjust the volume of these sounds themselves.

Loud System Sounds

The narrator finds it interesting that Apple has "pretty much bumped up the sound volume on the system sounds things like locking your device keyboard inputs and keep had input". The new system sounds are indeed much louder than before, with an example given of how much louder they are when locking a device. It seems that there is currently no way to adjust the volume of these system sounds, which may be a concern for some users.

Everything Else Remains the Same

Despite the new changes in system sounds, everything else in iOS 11.2.5 beta 3 appears to remain the same as its predecessors. The narrator notes that this means there are no other notable changes or features being introduced with this software update.

Conclusion

In conclusion, iOS 11.2.5 beta 3 has been released for register developers today, offering a chance for them to test and explore its new features before it is made available to the public. Public beta testers will have to wait a little longer for their turn, but are expected to receive the update later this afternoon or tomorrow.
