The fourth beta of iOS 9.3 has just been released to developers to test a handful of new features
0:07
along with a couple of bug fixers. iOS 9.3 isn't a huge overhaul of graphics and features, but polishes off what is already
0:15
a solid operating system. So I'm going to quickly show you what beta 4 and iOS 9.3 has to offer
0:21
Let's get started. The release notes for iOS 9.3 beta 4 mention some minor known issues with Apple Watch
0:28
Safari, Dictionary and Apple ID. But in terms of changes that you can actually see, there's only a couple
0:35
Firstly, a slight change is for night shift mode. It reduces the blue light emitted from your iPhone's display, which studies have shown
0:43
can cause things like insomnia, replacing the colours with a slightly warmer tone, helping
0:47
you relax before you sleep. In beta 4, they've changed the icon within the control centre, where you can quickly
0:54
switch your iPhone into night shift mode, changing the icon from an eye to this half-eclipsed sun
1:00
Which does make more sense, and we have the option to turn on for now or turn on until tomorrow
1:07
There's also some quick options for the settings app, with the use of 3D touch for
1:11
all you 6S and 6S Plus users. Which I can't test as I've installed the beta onto my 6 Plus
1:18
And if you use Apple Music, there's a new star icon to display which tracks are new
1:23
These additions join more 3D touch options for almost every third-party app, including
1:28
weather, the clock and the app store, which they should have had from launch anyway
1:32
There's also the option to pass by protect your notes, using a passcode or touch ID and
1:37
finally some updates for the news app. iOS 9.3 is rumoured to be launched to the public for March's iPhone 5 SE and iPad Air
1:45
