iOS 16.1 Beta 4?

In the previous iOS 16.1 internal beta versions, it mainly brought battery percentage, battery progress bar, lock screen function optimization, frequent copy and paste pop-up windows for the optimization part, improvement of custom wallpaper settings pages, emergency help through satellites, etc.

From the iOS16.1 Beta 4 software update page, from the previous test version update, the installation package required to be downloaded is about 460MB (slightly different models). The page shows that this update is still mainly to fix some important bugs, as shown in the figure.

From the perspective of upgrading experience, iOS 16.1 Beta 4 has brought two new changes in addition to fixing bugs. Let’s learn more about it below.

, iPhone 14 Pro series Lingdong Island display has been adjusted

In the latest iOS 16.1 Beta 4, Apple has adjusted the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. When using darker wallpapers or setting dark mode interfaces, when the screen becomes darker or Lingdong Island is active, a light gray border will appear around Lingdong Island, as shown in the figure.

In the previous version, the border around Lingdong Island was very blurred, and now the border on the light-colored wallpaper will not be displayed. When the iPhone unlocks or does not use Lingdong Island, the border will not be displayed. But when the user plays music or uses an application that displays content in Lingdong Island, the border will be displayed again. Some people like this detail change, but some people think it is uglier. What do you think about this?

, delete the old AriPods adaptive transparent mode

In the previous version, I thought it was Apple's conscience that I put the adaptive transparent mode to the old AirPods Pro. Earlier yesterday, Bloomberg Mark Gurman revealed that Apple's decentralization of adaptive transparency settings to the first generation of AirPods Pro was a "mistake", specifically a bug.

was about to be said. In the iOS 16.1 Beta 4 system version updated this morning, Apple directly deleted this setting option, supporting Gurman's statement. In this way, the adaptive transparent mode is still the exclusive feature of the second-generation AirPods Pro. Isn’t this a joy for old users? ? What do you guys think about this?

In other aspects, the official version of Matter 1.0 smart home standard was released. It is reported that the official version of Apple iOS 16.1 will be added to support. The first version of Matter will support a variety of smart home products such as lighting, HVAC control, curtains, security and security sensors, door locks, media devices, controllers and bridge .

It is reported that Matter is the IoT standard , which aims to improve the interoperability of smart devices between brands, so the HomeKit device can be used with Google , Amazon and other smart home devices from other companies. Matter works through Wi-Fi and Thread, which allows smart home devices to communicate with the cloud, and Thread provides energy-efficient and reliable mesh networks in the home.

At present, iOS 16.1 Beta 4 has relatively stable stability. In the previous version, many bugs such as WeChat message delay, pull-down search input method lag, and fast charging cannot be charged. According to netizens' feedback, there are still a few bugs in iOS 16.1 Beta 4, including the status bar of the drop-down notification center still flashing, the lock screen interface is still stuck to switch wallpaper, and the frame dropping problem of games such as Honor of Kings and League of Legends.

is OK, this is the end of this issue of iOS 16.1 Beta 4 upgrade experience review. In general, this update is still a small version update, mainly adjusting the dark wallpaper or dark mode smart island border display for iPhone 14 Pro series users; deleted the adaptive transparent mode switch of the first generation AirPods Pro/Max wireless headphones; continued to fix some bugs, etc. For users who are already beta versions, you can continue to upgrade. For ordinary official version users, since this version has not changed much, it is not recommended to make trouble. Let's continue to wait for the official version of iOS 16.1 to be released before upgrading.
