Finally Apple is changing the names of the Apple Watch ultra watch face colors. Now: Ultra Orange, Ultra Blue, Ultra Yellow.

Minor text change to the power on and off sounds.

Not sure what this new Demo app is for. Could it be for a store demo app? The launch images are just black.

Not sure what this hand and iPhone image is for:

Could satellite connectivity be coming with iOS 16.1?

iPhone Continuity Capture text changes: "You can plug this iPhone into your Mac to reconnect."

Bumblebee is the codename for Find My feature for AirPods. "You can now locate individual AirPods and their case on the map."

iPhone 14 wallpaper accessibility descriptions: "Multi-colored floating circles on a black background at varying visual depths." "Floating circles at varying visual depths with a red hue"

Cell Broadcast text additions: "Emergency Alarm" "Exercises Alerts" "Extreme Danger" "Hazard Information"

Beekman is the codename for Apple Card Monthly Installments.

Apple Cash text changes: "Your future Daily Cash earnings will be directed to your Apple Cash account." "Redeem Daily Cash as a statement credit when vour Apple Cash is restricted or locked.”

Goldilocks is the codename for "Share photos and videos to the Shared Library from Camera" feature.

Apple changed ‘done’ to ‘completed’ in the British English Fitness notifications. And they changed ’50-kilometer triathlon’ to ‘international distance triathlon’.

Mail app text changes: "Remind Me and Favorites Settings will override all other Mail notification settings."

Odd text: "This Apple Watch does not support the software needed to use cellular plans”

Clean Energy Charging leaf icon. This will be the support article when it goes live: support.apple.com/en-us/HT213323

I’m not sure what this new ‘iMac2’ image is doing in this beta. Couldn’t be the M2 iMac unless Apple was originally planning to release it with Monterey.

iOS 16.1 Beta 2 (20B5050f) changes 🧵: Apple added some interesting ‘HDSViewService’ Home app / Matter / HomePod images and text change. "The Matter accessories listed above have been added to a connected service.”

Apple killed: 💾 Floppy Disks 🎧 Headphone Jacks ✉️ SIM Cards What’s next?

Instead of

’s ‘tap to expand a Live Activity widget instead of tap and hold’ I would argue it should be a swipe down to expand Live Activities on the Dynamic Island.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus need to be disassembled from the back cover. No need to dismantle the screen. Be careful not to break it.

Since anemones are animals and not flora Apple corrected this accessibility wallpaper description in the clownfish wallpaper. "A photo of two clownfish peeking through a mélange of green anemone.”

If this accessibility feature on iOS can tell you when a portrait photo is upside down then shouldn’t the Photos app suggest photos to correction rotation?
