It has been weeks since the testing phase of the next version of iOS, 11.3, began, which promises important improvements as well as the possibility of control the performance of our iPhone according to the health of our battery on older devices. And the wait will continue at least a few more days, because Apple has just released the fifth beta of this version 11.3.
Changes this new version that in principle should arrive this spring They are numerous, and we show them below. We are also downloading it to be able to tell you the news first hand.
The news that Apple has added so far in previous Betas
- New Battery menu within Settings to check battery health
- Four new Animoji (lion, skeleton, bear and dragon)

In addition to this new beta of iOS 11.3, Apple has also released betas of tvOS 11.3 and macOS 10.13.4, future updates for Apple TV and Apple computers. At the moment there is no Beta for watchOS, but lately it is usual for Apple to launch it a few days after the one for iOS, so it could arrive in a couple of days for the Apple Watch.
It's amazing, I'm waiting for the official version since it was announced that it would bring the button to remove the limiter by the battery.
