Just like the first and second betas of iOS 16.4the third test version of the system, released yesterday for developers, also brought some news — smaller, this time.
Let’s check them out to follow.
Set Apple ID to Install Betas
In the third beta, Apple implemented improvements to the new process for distributing trial versions. More precisely, it will be possible to define a ID Apple specific to enable access to future betas (either developers or users enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program).
Previous betas made it clear that users would be required to sign into a developer account or opt into the public beta to access a trial build, but there was no option for individuals who have separate Apple IDs. This will therefore be much more intuitive.
The new option can be accessed at Settings » General » Software Update.
Car Keys may require U1 chip
The staff of 9to5Mac discovered code in the latest beta that references the feature car keyswhich may stop supporting NFC-only devicesNear field communicationor proximity field communication.”>1as currently occurs, and exclusively adopt the ultra-wideband standard (ultrawidebandor UWB).
Such a move would restrict support for the feature to iPhones and Apple Watch models equipped with the chip U1which just activates the ultra-wideband features.
Therefore, the function may require at least the iPhone 11 or the Apple Watch Series 6 – therefore eliminating support for the iPhone XS and Apple Watch Series 5, which currently work via NFC.
Other discoveries
Still in terms of the internal code of the new beta, the MacRumors revealed another snippet which shows that users may receive different prompts if an update to the Rapid Security Response (Fast Security Response) has caused problems with applications or the operating system. In these cases, it will be possible to remove the update.
Additionally, developer Steve Moser has shared some additional code changes and updates. no Twitter. Among them, the famous Apple Music Classical was added to the company’s privacy policy – but there is still no information regarding its official launch.
Finally, new colors will be released for Apple Watch dials.
