iOS 7.1 Beta 3: A Breakdown of the Latest Update

The latest update to iOS 7.1, beta 3, has finally arrived, and with it comes a slew of changes and bug fixes. As expected, there's no dramatic overhaul of the user interface or new features being added, but rather a focus on squashing some of the most annoying issues that users have been experiencing.

One of the most significant updates in iOS 7.1 beta 3 is the fix for the 3D touch stutter issue. For months now, users have been complaining about a slight delay when using 3D Touch on any icon. This issue has been a thorn in the side of many iPhone and iPad users, and it's finally been addressed in this latest update. According to Apple, this update should resolve the issue completely, and we can see no evidence of stuttering when 3D Touching any icon.

Another significant fix is the audio distortion issues that were plaguing the iPad Pro and regular iPads. Audio distortion can be a real nuisance, especially when watching videos or listening to music. Thankfully, this issue has been resolved in iOS 7.1 beta 3, ensuring that audio playback should be smooth and clear.

In addition to these fixes, iOS 7.1 beta 3 also addresses the "Home button delay" issue. Some users reported experiencing a slight lag when switching between the home screen and the multitasking window or using the Ops switch (more commonly known as the "Swipes" gesture). This issue has been resolved in this latest update.

It's worth noting that I, personally, never experienced this issue on my iPhone 8, so it's likely that this fix won't affect most users. However, for those who did experience the delay or lag, this is definitely a welcome change.

One notable "fix" that I should mention is related to the male issue. In my previous video on iOS 11.1 beta 1, I discussed an issue with deleting and re-adding accounts causing problems. As it turns out, simply deleting and re-adding the accounts resolved this issue for me. It's a bit ridiculous, but at least it's fixed now.

Battery Life in iOS 7.1 Beta 3

As of beta 2, battery life was reportedly around the same as iOS 11.0.3. There's no indication that iOS 7.1 beta 3 has improved or changed this aspect of the update. However, I'll be discussing my experiences with battery life in more detail in a follow-up video, so stay tuned for that.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while there aren't any major new features or changes to the user interface in iOS 7.1 beta 3, there are several significant bug fixes and improvements. The fix for the 3D Touch stutter issue is definitely the most notable, as it should resolve an issue that has been plaguing users for months.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and another week another iOS beta so today Apple released iOS 11.1 developer beta 3 and as you can see here this is a very small update coming in at 154 point 1 megabytes here on my iPhone 8 plus and of course I was coming from beta 2 before that now the first thing you're gonna notice when the screen pops up is that for the first time in iOS 11.1 beta history we do not have a list of changes or fixes here on the notes so in the first two betas we got specific notes on what was fixed in that version but as you can see here with beta 3 we have nothing there it's just the generic message like it used to be so that means we probably can't expect too much but there is a major change coming here with beta 3 which I'm going to talk about here in a minute but first let's talk about the build number here so we can see the build number 15 B 5 0 8 6 a so of course still a long build number as we are expected to have some more betas here with 11.1 so let's go back to the home screen now and talk about some of these changes and bug fixes here in iOS 7.1 beta 3 so you're not gonna notice anything visually that's changed here in beta 3 there's no new settings pains or anything like that there's nothing new on the home screen but there is a major major fix with beta 3 and that major fix is something I've been talking about for months now and that is the 3d touch stutter it has finally been fixed it's like a miracle it's finally been fixed you can see there's no slight stutter anymore when you go ahead and 3d touch on any icon there used to be a slight stutter but now there's absolutely no stutter with 3d touching so this is a miracle and it's really great to see the Apple listen to us and you know because I mentioned this and literally every single iOS 11 made a video I talked about the 3d touch stutter and how it needed to be fixed so it's finally here now remember this day October 16th the day Apple finally fixed the 3d touch stutter now obviously this is not going to be a big deal to most of you guys because most of you are just you know casual everyday users but for me somebody who's talked about this and every single video wish for a fix for so so long it's really great to see but once again for most of you guys it's not really going to be a big deal but it's still nice to be finally fixed so aside from that fix we do also have audio distortion issues that have been fixed with the iPad so the iPad pro and the regular iPad both had a fix here in beta 3 to fix the audio distortion issues obviously I don't have iOS 7.1 running on an iPad pro but that has been fixed now another thing that people were talking about was the home button delay so apparently that has been fixed as well I never really experienced much of a home button delay going from the multitasking window the ops switch right here and then going back home some people reported you know home button flag you know issues with the home button lagging and things like that but apparently that has also been fixed along with the 3d touch stutter but once again with my iPhone eight here I never ever had that issue and I should also talk about the male issue so if you guys remember in my iOS 11.1 beta one video where I told you not to install iOS 7.1 and how terrible it is it's basically like a rant video the male issue was one of the biggest issues in that video but I finally figured out how to fix it so all I did was go into settings the lid of the accounts and then added them back and then that did fix it it's ridiculous that I had to do that but that was a bug that I was facing I know it wasn't very popular not too many people had it but that was something I was facing and I fixed it by deleting and re adding the accounts now as far as battery life battery life on iOS 11.1 beta 2 was actually pretty good it was about the same as I was getting on eleven point 0.3 the public release so I can't really complain about that at all as far as the battery in beta 3 obviously it's way too early to tell but I will be talking about that in my follow up video and if I don't make that follow up video by the weekend I will be mentioning how battery and performance have been in the iOS 11.1 beta 4 video next Monday but anyways guys that's pretty much it for this video iOS 7.1 finally fixed the 3d touch stutter issues that everybody with 3d touch devices has been facing whether you knew it or not but other than that there's really nothing else that has changed here in 11.1 beta 3 besides just some back-end bug fixes anyways I hope you enjoyed this video if you did find anything else new in iOS 7.1 beta 3 let me know when it comment down below if you did enjoy the video also make sure
