Apple released iOS 14.3 beta 1 and iPadOS 14.3 beta 1 software to developers last week, bringing a host of new features and improvements to the iPhone and iPad. This initial beta version is packed with updates that enhance user experience and functionality.
We previously saw a video of this beta, and now we have another video from Zollotech, which gives us a look at some more features that have been discovered.
New Features in iOS 14.3 Beta 1
One of the standout features in iOS 14.3 beta 1 is the introduction of ProRAW for iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. This new format allows photographers to capture images in a RAW format while still taking advantage of Apple’s computational photography features like Smart HDR and Deep Fusion. This gives users greater flexibility in post-processing their photos.
Another significant addition is the support for the new Apple Fitness+ service, which integrates seamlessly with the Apple Watch. This service offers a variety of workout videos and personalized fitness recommendations, making it easier for users to stay active and healthy.
The beta also includes updates to the Home app, which now supports new accessories and features improved controls for smart home devices. Additionally, there are enhancements to the Weather app, which now provides more detailed information about air quality and precipitation.
Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements
In addition to new features, iOS 14.3 beta 1 addresses several bugs and performance issues reported by users. For instance, the beta resolves an issue where some users experienced unexpected battery drain. It also fixes a bug that caused the Messages app to crash when sending certain types of media.
Performance improvements are also a key focus in this beta release. Users have reported smoother animations and faster app launch times, contributing to a more responsive and enjoyable user experience. These enhancements are particularly noticeable on older devices, which benefit from the optimizations included in the update.
There are a number of updates, new features, and also bug fixes in the first beta of iOS 14.3. As this is the first beta in the series, it will probably be a while before the final version of the software is released to everyone.
We are expecting Apple to release their iOS 14.3 software update sometime in December. As soon as we get some details on its release date, we will let you guys know.
