Apple Beta Releases
Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms
Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.
If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Thanks for the correction.
watchOS volume issue fixed!
Hello,
I have a very big pleasure to announce, that it has finally happened! Apple fixed this really frustrating bug, that VO volume on Apple Watch was really crazy. Now after updating and testing this in specific situations that i've mentioned in another thread I can confirm, that all seems to be right!
Updating my watch. For macos…
Updating my watch.
For macos, can somebody relate to the battery life being awful on the latest stable of 15.2? Like just with gpt and textedit open and battery at 50% it says 2hrs remaining. I know these are not intended to be precise, but my mbp is 1.5y old and I never got such a low time estimate. Nothing major happened and though I didn't opened the 15.1 partition since a week there everything was normal and I could get about 15-20hrs of battery life.
My battery had these specs since 3 weeks, cycle charge 70-73, capacity 95%.
Hope this beta fix things!
watchOS11.3 beta 1 and volume
The volume auto change bug has been resolved. That's cool!
But now the rotor option is called speech volume. For me I have audio ducking off, under sounds and haptics match speech volume for sound. But now under audio the volume slider doesn't seem to do anything, it's independent apparently from the watch volume in the control centre and the voiceover volume with the rotor or the gesture. What's that?
Battery life...
Battery life on iOS 18.2 is not really solid for me as it was on iOS 18.1 with 15 Pro Max; I hope that's different with Mac.
Off-topic comments
Hello everyone,
We have removed all the comments on this post in regards to the Vision Pro. Anyone here is more than welcome to start a post in regards to the Vision Pro, however we do please ask that it is a separate topic. This will help especially those who subscribe to post to keep an eye on peoples findings throughout this new cycle.
We really appreciate your cooperation!

To the editorial team, I completely understand the intent here but I think you removed most if not all of what I said about the macos beta. You can't edit or ask to edit instead?
For records, I said that:
1. The text attributes announcement with the verbosity rotor set to speak or play sound has been fixed in iWork and other apps, as before since the beginning of the Sequoia beta cycle voiceover would announce the full formatting at each cursor movement in the document.
2. Along the announcement there is a new sound when writing tools are available in action menu after selecting text. We also have another sound when AI has completed the generation of the new content, which is awesome. Both of these aren't in the soudnds list reference for the moment.
3. All the other bugs mentioned in the 15.2 thread are still there as far as I could test.
There is no release note for macOS Sequoia 15.3 beta 1.

Hi TheBllindGuy07,
I want to apologize for the way this was handled. Our intention was to get the topic back on track and bring the focus back to the 12/16/2024 beta releases. In hindsight, a simple reminder to commenters to please keep the discussion on topic would have been better.
Best,
Michael

No problem at all! :)
iOS 18.3
Well from what I hear no major release just making stable playground, fixing bugs with writing tool, and other bugs. Heard that iOS 18.4 will come out with more new features.
And now on iOS18.3 the…
And now on iOS18.3 the volume rotor is also called speech volume like on watchOS.
Volume bug on watchOS
While I am glad that the volume bug seemes to be fixed in this new beta, this issue is one of those showstoppers that I hope, apple does not wait until the public release to push out. This release is most likely over a month out. Givin the holiday, I'm not quite ready to upgrade as this is still an early beta
Yeah, i'm geting a bit…
Yeah, i'm geting a bit annoyed at the prompts to update knowing that to do so will be a poor experience. Whether they consider such a small bug for such a small userbase worth a 0.0.1 update, remains to be seen.
Also, just on keeping on track, and I know the irony of talking about keeping on track is actually taking it off track, Dave did give a heads up. I was just being my usual disruptive self. My apologies. You are all doing an excellent job. :)
