Everything New in iOS 14 Beta 3: New Music Icon, Clock Widget and More

[ZzapDK]

OMG the text in the alarms section of the clock is huge!

Speaking of Alarms, I actually preferred setting the alarms using the number picker
It made it easy to wake up tired to an alarm Saturday morning, advancing it an hour or two and going back to sleep
Now I got to pay attention which almost wakes me up completely, lol

Very awkward, I don’t get anything higher than 1080 both on my 11 Pro Max and iPad Pro.

I had a tiny hope that I could stream 4K from my iPhone 8+ (1920x1080 pixels) to a 4K TV but no such luck.
It can capture 4K video, but it seems that it can only stream it in 1080p

Wow...we get a new music icon.

Apple needs to:
1. redesign the notification center. It's ridiculous.
2. add haptic feedback to the keyboard, and make it possible to customize different intensities to your heart's content. It's crazy that you have no feedback whatsoever if you're typing and have the phone on mute.Those who are concerned with battery can just turn it off.
3. make it possible to adjust volume for independent apps and settings and not this general thing they're doing, forcing you to do it while the thing is being played, such as separate volume control for keyboard volume, music volume, ring volume, system volume.
4. add suggestions from the address book when you're dialing a phone number. Common now Apple.
5. make it possible to customize the texting app in every conceivable way. Font size, bubble size shape color.
6. make it possible to schedule a message to be sent at a certain time/date.
7. make it possible to move the icons anywhere you want to.
8. Use an OS-wide clipboard and make it not expire. You should be able to copy text now and paste it tomorrow if you want to.
9. Give us an option to NOT go to the next email but back to inbox after deleting an email.

what clipboard do you use to store this post? I’ve seen it in at least three threads.

"Other" storage on 11 Pro Max is practically nil. Rey happy with that. Will get to lPad Mini 5 tomorrow.

Take a few print-screens of the sizes before you update. Then you can see if they performed a cleanup, or just gave it a different name, e.g. added the majority of it to "System"

Installing on my iPad Pro 11 (2020) right now. It is doing it so much faster than my SE 2020.

There’s an option to enable noise cancellation in one AirPod pro. Is that new? I don’t remember seeing that option before.

Screen Time Widget - The Screen Time widget has been updated in beta 3 and it now shows usage details for the top apps that you've used during the day.

Isn’t this already the case on beta 2? Or it has been adjusted a bit?

This was an option in beta 2 as well.

I love the red icon for Music. It's my favorite one. I hope they update on iTunes too.

I think the Apple Music app in macOS Big Sur beta 3 has it as well. Not a fan personally, reminds me of the Yosemite iTunes 12.0 but I can live with it.

I feel like I love it so much because we didn't have the time to get tired of it. I can't stand the current one. We have it for 5 years now.

Good point.

I'm watching YouTube using a PC with noticeable fan noise. I can enable ANC using a single pod (don't remember having this option before), but the effect is "strange" since I can ofc still hear the fan with the other ear. I experience the sound as more "open" without ANC and a single pod. With ANC I can hear my own breathing much louder than without.
Using ANC and both pods the soundfield initially feels "closed off" but this goes away fairly quickly, I think, because both ears experience the same effect

They probably will. Used the same new color on my AppleTV too.

Any word if they're going to implement photo syncing between macOS and iOS 14? Hasn't worked since High Sierra.

Scared me there for a second I had to run and check. No syncing issues in photo apps between iOS 13, iOS 14 Beta 3, and macOS ... I think that's one of the things that just worked for me and I don't remeber when/if it never worked.

Yeah I’m not a fan of the new Alarms interface at all. I preferred the dials as it was easier to set and change with one hand and minimal effort. Keep hoping with each beta they’ll go back to it but 3 betas in and no change so this new style is probably here to stay.

Bummer. Weather widget not coming back on my iPhone 7 Plus. Tried all the suggestions. Maybe a couple more reboots

What I found with the widget (getting rid of the black) is finding the sweet spot to long press the black widget. I did it several times with no change before attempting again to get the option to edit the widget.

Apple: time to get up and fill your three rings everyday. XD

Strange. I had no issues with the weather widget. They were on the same place and all ok after the update.

I’m on the same boat...

Looks like the Weather widget has been removed in Beta 3. Too bad, actually liked that one.

Just noticed that too! However, if the weather widget I added from Beta 2 is still there and works, just can't add a new one anymore.

Has the motion on deleting an email with the slide to left swipe been fixed? It was savage on beta 1 on iPad Air 2

 

[magicMac]

i like the music icon, more inline with the original iPod app on iOS 4

3D Touch Disabled - 3D Touch has been disabled temporarily in the beta on 3D Touch-enabled devices. Long pressing still works.

I hope they make haptic-touch faster. Even on it's fast setting, it's noticeable slower than 3D Touch, which I don't think they've added to any phones since the XS
