hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 14 beta one has been out for almost
a week at this point and I've been using it primarily on my iPhone 11 pro max
like normal also my 12.9 inch iPad pro from 2020 and the iPhone
10 R so these devices have all been running pretty well and a lot of you
have been asking me how can I get the beta on my phone and currently you need
to be a developer in order to get the beta there are other ways to get it but
if you're not sure what you're getting into I would really suggest waiting for
the public beta to come out then it's usually a little bit more stable and
you're able to use it on that without a problem by going to apple.com slash beta
and it's pretty simple to install that way however if you're in the beta and
you want to go back to iOS 13.5.1 or iOS 13.6 when it comes out you
won't be able to do that unless you use a computer so just keep in mind this
really isn't for everyone it's for early beta testers and it will come out to
public beta testers probably in a few weeks usually sometime in mid-july and
then also the final release will come out in the fall usually around late
September maybe October this year now there's a few new features I wanted to
go over we'll talk about when iOS 14 beta 2 should come out and when iOS 13.6
should come out but the first thing is a couple new features and one
of them is low power mode for an iPad and I showed this a little bit in
shortcuts it's there but you can actually ask Siri to actually turn on
the power mode so I'll activate Siri turn on low power mode and it says low
power mode is there even though there's not a setting for it so you can turn it
back off turn it on it's on the iPad so maybe they'll have some other battery
health features in future betas but right now if they're not there now also
one thing that I didn't cover in my video about this was they've removed the
wheel to input different things such as alarms so instead of having a wheel
where you scroll through which I actually prefer you now have a number
pad some people like this better some people like the wheel this could change
closer to the time it releases but right now if you want to put in an alarm you
could do 8 o'clock in the morning and set it up that way
no more scrollwheel to get through that information now a small change that
people have recognized in iOS 14 beta 1 that I didn't cover in the video about
iOS 14 is that you can zoom in a little bit further on photos so if you go into
a photo maybe we'll pick this one of the new icons and then we'll zoom in to
quick time can zoom in a little bit further than you could before or maybe
what the new Final Cut Pro icon will look like this is what they showed at
least in the keynote so you can zoom in a little bit further than you could
before so we have that ability now it may be helpful if you have some larger
pictures or some fine editing you want to do and things like that now Apple has
also updated the field test mode this allows you to see the signals of what
your phone is doing as far as transmits and receive you just go into your phone
dialer and you'll see this is what it looks like they've changed the way it
looks so you can see here's my transmit power for my cell phone signal and this
just lets you see a little bit more information about that this is more for
if you're trying to see what the signal is actually doing so they've updated the
way that looks now before I talk about some of the bad experiences I've had
with iOS 14 beta 1 let me talk about some of the good things and the first
thing is performance actually is quite good scrolling is nice and smooth most
of the time you'll see here's my app library my list views and everything is
nice and smooth most of the time I'm not sure why I picked that picture but it's
what it these all are set to do what they want and change throughout the day
so my photos will change these apps will change and it's nice to have that option
using the operating system in general has been really good with the exception
of the problems I'll mention in a moment but speed has been good I'll talk about
battery in a moment but first let's talk about some issues I've been having and
some of those are touch not working properly so sometimes I'll go to scroll
sometimes it seems to be more in apps than in the operating system itself but
I'll go to scroll and my touch input won't work I've had that a few different
times I've had Twitter be slow or freeze and not respond at all especially the
keyboard so if I wanted to send a new tweet I could say this is a new tweet
and I won't send this but you get the idea it seems to be ok now
sometimes it's super slow and buggy so most of the time it's working fine but
sometimes it's really slow and it has occasional freezes I've had a few apps
crash such as music fan music crash a few different times just listening to it
it'll crash if I add something next stuff like that and it's been okay it's
much better than other early betas like I said I've had a couple Reese brings
when trying to set wallpaper so I'll set a new wallpaper like the one
here and the whole thing will respring and then I've had some widgets that
won't refresh properly so maybe the weather isn't refreshing properly than
it will and that's fine it's early on like I said and then finally I have the
storage bug that many of you have been seeing so if I go to general I go to my
iPhone storage you'll see it's using 247 point 5 gigabytes of 256 gigabytes the
system is using all of that storage now I expect Apple to fix this with updates
so that doesn't concern me if I needed the storage I could reboot the phone and
reinstall everything and just start over but right now the storage is taking up
or the system is taking up almost all of my storage now with old devices people
are saying that the battery life is ok again basically the same as all the
other devices but they are saying performance is good and things are a bit
buggy from time to time with iPad OS I've actually had a pretty good
experience and in general it's quite good I haven't really had too many
issues with iPad OS seems to be working fine I have had a few issues moving
icons around but other than that nothing serious but I have had to reboot my
iPhone a couple times when it wasn't working properly I just did a hard
reboot and it went back to normal the same is true on the iPad so you will
have some bug's now like I said it's been pretty good for me overall though
and those are a few bugs that I've had that's pretty typical of an early beta
in fact iOS 13 beta 1 and 2 were so unusable that I actually went back to
iOS 12 I haven't had to do that yet with this beta so that's a really great sign
it's working great now as far as battery life this is really hit or miss
depending on who you ask based off the YouTube community poll
I'll talk about in just a moment it's very hit-or-miss but let me show you my
battery life first and then I'll talk about your battery
life based on that poll so if we go to battery life you'll see my health is
still at 97% it's pretty typical the update will not make it go down
however iOS 14 may be measuring it differently or more accurately as some
people have seen this number fluctuate compared to what they had on iOS 13 now
you'll see though over the last ten days my battery life has been not great
you'll see here two hours and 19 minutes of screen on time four hours and 41
minutes of screen off time and I'm using almost 50% of my battery that means I'm
getting four to five hours of screen on time and maybe eight hours of screen off
time before I was getting 10 to 12 now this is not everyone's experiences I've
seen other people tweet about this but some people have had a really great
battery life other people have had horrible battery life this isn't a big
deal to me though because I think this number is wrong because even though
right now you'll see it says I've used it two hours and 34 minutes and it's
saying that I have I've used it almost 50% but I've only used it 18%
so if you look at the actual battery percentage instead of the actual battery
usage stats I think you'll find that you have much better battery than you expect
instead of looking at these stats there's something off here again it's an
early beta and if you're having a ton of issues make sure you report it in the
feedback app because Apple will use that information now based off the YouTube
community poll 24 of you said that your battery life was good and 43 of you said
it was worse than before so that means worse than iOS 13.6
or iOS 13.5.1 so just keep that in mind it's an early beta I expect
this with that but just keep in mind that it's not going to be great and all
of the issues mentioned you can see here on the left as well as all of the
different devices that you're using are listed here as well so thanks to
everyone that that mentioned that in the poll let's go ahead and take a look at
the youtube community poll now 9.3 k people voted or over 9000 300 people so
I really appreciate it you'll see 20% of you said that it's great 2% say it's
terrible 11% say it's okay but has some bugs so
only 13% or so are having issues with it and 52% of you are on I
13.6 beta-2 are older and 15% are using android so this numbers actually gone
down this week based on what we've had in the past now I took all of that
information that you've commented about in the poll put it together give you
what you eat we had a little bit earlier as far as what issues you were having
and then I'm having and about battery but let's take a look at some of these
comments we'll go through about ten of them or so now the first one says one
will iPhone ten target iOS 14 it will get it the same day as everyone else
around the world when Apple releases it in the United States it's released
everywhere around the world at the exact same time but keep in mind this is a
beta so you won't see the final version until September or October like I said
earlier it has been working great the only problem is that Pokemon go does not
work so I'm in expecting an update soon you shouldn't expect an update from
Pokemon until the fall they don't actually accept apps for updates the
with the latest OS until then so they may update Pokemon but don't count on
that you may need to downgrade your phone in order for that to work properly
it's stable fluid on my iPhone 11 Promax battery is good as well i'm on iphone 6s
my widgets won't load up and my phone shuts off randomly and battery drains
fast really amazed by the stability if you're using it with a normal use
surfing emails and calls some tweaks need to be done but overall it's really
good very very polished and optimized for a first beta the iOS 14 beta 1 file
is humongous and took up an additional 12 gigabytes of storage which over time
slowly reduced to 5 gigabytes in the other storage space battery drains
rather quickly especially compared to 13.5 and 6
but still ask me a full day notice that the interface and all the animations are
much more smooth especially when notification drops down a very subtle
and i pleasing animation widgets run perfectly except for the fact that it
takes time to update and startup especially after restarting the device
one of the most stable betas ever iOS 14 is a great OS as well however battery
drains faster compared to iOS 13.6 getting about 1.5 hours less screen on
time iPhone 7 I'm amazed at how great the
first beta is I look forward to it getting better over time I'm
running on the 11pro Max and the iPad pro 11 I'm on the iPhone 8 plus it's
been running great there is some bugs as expected but it's probably been the most
stable next generation of an iOS release I have ever tested I'm running it on an
iPhone 10 are the mail app seems don't gone backwards some I noticed my icon
shows unread messages by opening the app and no unread messages previously under
13.6 I could select all the messages in mail and then run my finger down the
left to select any number of consecutive messages to take action and this is now
gone battery life is not as good and my cellular connectivity went from an
average of minus 105 to more like minus 111 and I think you're talking about the
actual field test mode as far as your signal strength now as far as the mail
app I agree I noticed that was gone and just forgot to mention it a little bit
earlier but I think they may add it later on or at least I hope they do I
use that when you can select a bunch of mail messages at once however mail has
been really stable for me I've had no issues with it so it's been great this
time so far Promax it's been great for a first beta a few bugs and app issues but
that is expected there are a ton of bugs for me but I am still enjoying the beta
it's been mostly nice there is no back tap on the iPhone 8 though and so far my
Amazon music app doesn't want to work great iPad pro 2018 and Promax overall I
love it soso battery occasional graphical lags on the iPad such as icons
returning to the dock after going home keyboard is laggy on both occasionally
sometimes a struggle leaves scribble mode to get a keyboard to show nothing
bothersome at all for a first beta on my iPhone 6s everything is fast I don't
know what really fast is on a smart phone I'm an iOS 14 it's great no
problems I'll accept my work app doesn't work any more the first iOS 14 beta is
much better than the first iOS 13 beta less heating more performance iPhone 6s
plus here I'll read a couple more iOS 14 beta 1 iPhone 11 when somebody calls
sometimes it pops up that there's taking up the whole screen and doesn't give me
the option to decline it and a couple of respring z' great on my iphone 8 little
to no slowdowns there is a bug where I want to go into settings storage
messages then it crashes but beside that this release has been
really stable for me and finally so great on my iPhone 10s far better than
iOS 13 beta 1 no Reese brings for me so far
pretty smooth a great update overall and like I said for an early beta this has
been phenomenal compared to what we had with iOS 13 so hopefully we'll see it be
much more stable over the coming months or weeks and I would expect iOS 14 beta
to not necessarily this coming week but the week after now Apple could change
this up usually they take a couple weeks for the first beta but it's hard to say
however iOS 13.6 I think will either get a beta 3 or a public release
this coming week in fact there's some features with Apple car key that are
supposed to come out with iOS 13.6 on July 1st so we may see a public
release on Monday or Tuesday before then so that wouldn't surprise me at all so I
really expect to see those things going forward now as far as this update if you
want to try it out and you're a developer you probably already know how
to do that if you're not a developer I really would not advise putting this on
your main device I would wait and put it on an older device or maybe just wait
until the public beta is out that's usually a little bit more stable and
more trustworthy this does have some issues and it's fine most of the time
compared to others but it's still not a hundred percent so just keep that in
mind if you're going to try it out otherwise it's available for everyone
the same day everywhere now if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper
of course I'll link it in the description as I always do and if you
