Apple Releases Fourth Developer Beta of iOS 12.2 [Update: Public Beta Available]

Is the annoying iPhone XS stuttering fixed?

Maybe I am missing something, but can you use an AppleTV remote to control media on a pad or phone?

 

[MrMac2015]

Any fix for complex pdf in email stalling?

 

[Beyo]

yay! Innovation! People can now be giraffes

Giraffes are nice

While it might mean nothing, the AppleTV icon change strengthens my belief that we’ll see a reconceptualized AppleTV at the March event.

An HDMI stick could replace the puck and the only routinely visible component would be the remote.

This would add weight to the importance of the remote’s design since that would be the AppleTV. A redesigned remote could use a Force Touch panel rather than a mechanical clicker and perhaps an asymmetrical back to quickly find the right side up.

It could be that given Apple’s push to roll out AirPlay to every major tv that the HDMI stick wouldn’t be necessary and AppleTV would become an iOS mode like CarPlay. Devices like the iPhone, iPad and even HomePod could run the AppleTV software and Airplay it to nearby TVs.

I have now jailbroken. In the last 2 days i have added so much functionality that i could only dream apple will give me.

The notes app had a new design for me where each note displayed the name of the folder where it belonged on the preview. Going back to folders view and then again into “notes” folder, the new UI disappeared. Maybe it’s just a bug, although it looked very polished and definitely could be an intentional change

Four new Animoji OMG! how did i ever live without these.

A boar! Finally!, as they say. What a time to be alive!

Nice new lock screen and control center “now playing” for Apple TV as well. As of B3 (as far as I’m aware) this automatically comes up on all devices signed into same iCloud account. I’m a huge fan of this, especially volume control now on lock screen for compatible TVs.

EDIT: Cannot confirm ‘same iCloud account’ and if this does or does not connect to Home at all for family members. All I know is that I comes up on all my devices (same iCloud account).

Oh man, I love this, Apple! Making it easier to control the system volume is big. Officially tipped me over the edge of installing the dev beta. Great find and thanks for reporting.

The remote app in control center still not working on my phone (XR). I downloaded the remote app from the App Store and it works fine. Issues began with iOS 12.2 Beta 1.

I do not have those volume buttons on my lock screen. I wonder if it is related to the TV you have or your settings.

 

[old-wiz]

Do we really need all of those animojis?

 

[Crowbot]

That should play well in non-English speaking countries where the word for “news” doesn’t start with an “N.”

It looks like a Hebrew Aleph

 

[abrantes09]

Downloaded beta, NEWS ICON SUCKS

 

[MikeSmoke]

I jumped from 12.1.4 to beta 4 12.2 on an iPad mini 2 and it feels even better optimized for performance. Will update 2017 iPad now.

 

[TheDreaded26]

new icon is an S, for subscription service..

Yes. Which has no sound whatsoever.

 

[eyeseeyou]

Not sure if this is new but I don’t recall the photos app displaying a “raw” icon when displaying raw photos.

Only appear when editing a raw photo.

 

[Ortiz83]

Kind of confused, for some reason can not get iMessage in the cloud to work on these betas, anyone else.
No syncing to iPad and Mac......

What’s the confusion, it’s a beta. Glitches are expected.

 

[Internet Enzyme]

Apple News icon changed. Ugly.

It’s literally one of the first apps i delete whenever i prepare a device and now ill make it an even further priority so this ugly ass icon doesnt have to affront my springboard for long.

If the AppleTV is going to be reconceptualized, why would the new icon be the old remote design?

 

[sponch]

Is the annoying iPhone XS stuttering fixed?

Not here.
It sometimes takes seconds

 

[dickie001x]

I want to download the beta on my primary device so bad but I don't want to live to regret it.

You won't - it's very stable.

I do not have those volume buttons on my lock screen. I wonder if it is related to the TV you have or your settings.

My guess would be compatibility issue. My Apple TV goes into a Samsung TV, then my audio receiver connects to my TV via an HDMI-ARC. So when I control ‘TV’ volume on my iOS devices it runs through the ARC and controls receiver volume.

(I don’t run everything through my receiver because it doesn’t support 4K-HDR passthrough, that’s why I use the ARC)
