iOS 12.3 Beta Release, Update Features and How to Update iOS 12.3

Apple had already addressed and introduced some new changes and updates in the iOS 12.2 update. The main changes and inclusion of new services included Apple News+ but not so long after the release of iOS 12.2, Apple released the first beta version of iOS 12.3. While this new update has a lot more to offer but a major part of this update includes the new Apple TV app. As for the iOS 12.3 release date, the beta has been released on May 13 so you can test it out on your iPhone now or anytime soon.

How to update to iOS 12.3

As for getting the update on your iPhone, simply go to the Settings app and tap General. From there, you will find the Software Update. iPhones tend to be updated by default and if your phone’s already updated then it will be displayed under the Software Update tab. In case you still do not have it, click on the update option and it will begin to download. Not every region gets the update at once so if the option still does not show for you then do not fret, as it will be soon available.

Everything new in iOS 12.3 Update Release

Here are all the new features the latest iOS 12.3 update has brought.

Apple TV app

While you must have heard of the Apple TV app and an extensive list of channels it contains but iOS 12.3 has updated the TV app further. This app has support for 4K devices as well as the tvOS 12.3 update. However, the TV app already contains a wide range of channels that you can subscribe and view but the newer version of Apple TV is going to be available in a broader spectrum of regions and countries, which the old app did not provide to Apple users.

AirPlay 2 Support for smart TVs

You must have already tried out the latest HomeKit and AirPlay 2 by Apple but now both these services are coming to smart TVs. The TVs that are going to have support for AirPlay 2 include Sony, Samsung, and LG. The new changes addressed and brought in ios 12.3 were meant to enhance the scope and usage of AirPlay 2. The feature of Siri suggesting you movies has also been updated; as you will be getting all the suggestions on the device you have accessed AirPlay.

Interface changes and upgrades

The only two significant updates in iOS 12.3 are the support of AirPlay 2 for smart TVs and further enhancements in the Apple TV app. These might be the major changes but some notable and visible changes have been observed to the interface once your iPhone updates to iOS 12.3. The display and design of some apps have been changed a bit and that is why that is not a major change to notice in the update.

Looking Further into Apple iOS 12.3 Release Notes

Now that you know how to update your iPhone to iOS 12.3, you must know that your app should also be updated to make the most out of the new iOS update. For a basic overview once again, the release of the iOS 12.2 SDK brought support options and features to develop iOS apps for iPhone and iPad devices that currently support iOS 12.3. If you want to develop an iOS app then you would need to look into the SDK that comes with the Xcode 10.2.1 version. As for accessibility features, one major issue in the accessibility options has been resolved. The Events switched has been removed for good since it is not applicable and supported as of now.

iOS 12.3 Update Features and Upgrades

Now that you know Apple has been very fast in releasing new iOS 12.3 update so you should stay updated about both the previous and newest changes. Therefore, we have compiled all the necessary information we deemed worthy about the previous iOS 12.1.4 update.

iOS 12.1.4

This update was released before Apple decided to shift to the 12.3 update. iPhone users had complained about not receiving audio or video output while using the FaceTime app. The iOS 12.1.4 is a notable mention since it addressed this issue and even fixed it for good. Avid Apple fans were somewhat disappointed to find such an issue but Apple was very quick to resolve this issue with the iOS 12.1.4 update.

Outlook on the Future

The iOS 12.3 beta version was out on May 13 but experts are expecting that since it did not bring anything major, Apple might release a 12.4 update anytime soon. The next update could be called anything but we are eager to see what it is going to bring next. However, if it is going to be an upgraded version of the current iOS 12.3 beta then it will surely highlight some of the left out changes and features.
