Surprise!! Beta 4 dropped ahead of schedule. Apple loves to throw curve balls 😅

[BrandonButch]

Who else is hoping for Apple Intelligence features in Beta 5 🤞

[Cameron_quarles]

At this point I’m not even gonna think about Apple intelligence

[cwgzz]

I must say that iOS Beta 4 feels so much smoother for me!!!

[landizzle]

Not joking when I say that I had an auto refresher going every 10 seconds waiting for this video to come out 😂

iOS 18 beta 4 and iOS 17.6 RC (along with all subsequent Apple OS Updates for both versions) on the same day! A rare sight!

[NathanaelLusk]

Beta 4 is so much smoother and snappier for me on my 15PM. Sooo much better

[jonsnell]

There is now an issue when waking the screen. The brightness is stuck at dark. Very annoying!!!

This issue only shows up when displav allways on is not selected. Select Display allways on and the issue is fixed.

my boy always is there for us with the iphone updates

[hasonnet]

Have they fixed the issue where control center customization keeps resetting to default ?

[musicplusink]

I wish they would allow the dock at the bottom could be made transparent

[LfeInFtball]

This the best explanation thanks to you, awesome vids😊

[JeefBerkyMIW]

Thank you Brandon you’re amazing as always!!🙏🏼

[likhan.ghosh.]

Been waiting patiently for you to post this video 🎉

[Mr.Cffee]

4:46 still no stand alone Bluetooth icon for control center? 😔

[Nutty-]

My keyboard recent emojis are stuck on the generic ones and don’t update to the most used

[dominikdeimel]

on ny iPhone 14 Pro the light sensor is buggy. in dardkness it just dimmes everything down and doesn't save a set brightness. It always goes back to the minimum

[DawudDI]

I have problems with the auto brightness and my often use emojis arent there on this beta

[mathesonstep]

I am so glad they fixed the Light icons working in Dark Mode, I still like the Light Mode icons better

[buever]

i’ve been having screen time issues since ios 16
