Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 8 has been out a few days
it's actually very close to i think a final
release i'll talk about a little bit later as well as the gm
and i've been using it on my iphone 11 pro max this is my main
phone i also use it daily on my 2020 ipad pro 12.9 and then i also have it on
the iphone 11 6s plus and iphone 7. and so
let's talk about how my experience was how your experience was based off the
youtube community poll performance battery life bugs and more
so the first thing is i've experienced two issues one of them
was right before this video in fact i went into settings
and it completely froze i couldn't do anything it wouldn't scroll that's the
first time i've seen that but it took a few days to show up
the other thing i've had is i've had twitter freeze on me a couple times so
i'd go into it maybe go to messages or whatever i was doing
it would completely freeze now that could be a problem with the app
or it could be a problem with the phone itself
with this particular beta most of the time it doesn't do that
those are the only two times i've actually seen that other than that i've
had zero bugs with this in fact i've had no issues i've had great speed and
everything else so i haven't had any issues and quite a few
of you said it runs like a gm or a final version and so for those of
you that aren't familiar a gm or golden master is the final version that's
released to beta testers prior to it being released to the public
and like i said we'll talk more about that in a little bit
now other than the people that are saying they're not having problems a few
people were mentioning some odd problems such as flickering displays
now it doesn't seem to matter which device it was on it could be
any of these really but they were seeing flickering displays
and some people were experiencing other issues with
the news widget not showing up for example so if you deleted the news app
and then reinstalled the news app it seems like the news widget just wouldn't
show up again it wouldn't be there so hopefully they'll fix that pretty soon
now some other people were actually saying that they were having
connectivity issues so maybe it's with wi-fi or lte
usually it's with lte it seems like there's more people talking about that
so if you're having connectivity issues
hopefully there'll be a modem update that fixes this by the time it's
released to the public so hopefully we'll see that now other
people are saying that they're experiencing the keyboard freezing so if
you were in the keyboard for example and typing it just wasn't working i
personally haven't seen this but i know quite a few people that have said they
have also some people are saying they're
having face id issues so for example when you go into face id
it would present a problem whether or not that means it just doesn't unlock
or maybe it's because you're using a mask and it's not seeing
you properly so that makes sense usually it won't work with a mask unless it's
really thin otherwise you'll have to put in your
passcode but most of the time people aren't having issues with face id
but a few are other people are seeing issues with notifications so
notifications coming in are not working for some people
and they seem to be working okay for me but
they're saying they're showing up late or not showing up at all
so i'm seeing this multiple times throughout the comments on the community
poll and then finally people are reporting
issues with battery as well as charging issues now battery
life for me has been okay if we take a look at the settings here
we'll go down to battery and you'll see my battery health is
still at 96 percent and let's go over to the last 10 days so
if we take a look at yesterday i used 50 percent of my battery and i
got four hours and five minutes of screen on time
6 hours and 4 minutes of screen off time so it's actually doing pretty well
the odd thing is it says nest audio and i wasn't using nest so that's kind of
interesting i'm not sure why it's there maybe it
didn't close in the background like it should have but that's kind of strange
that it was actually saying that so there's definitely some issues with this
although four and a half hours of screen on time and six hours of screen off time
with fifty percent battery usage is actually quite good for a beta
so nine or ten hours 10 to 12 is normal like i've said many times so i hope to
see this improved in the future now the other people that were having
issues were having issues with this actually charging so either wasn't
charging properly or it would stop at 80 percent
similar to what optimized battery charging would do but it wouldn't
function properly and so hopefully this will be fixed soon
i think apple's just really fixing those additional bugs before they
release it to the public but it seems like
they'll hopefully get that nailed down pretty quickly now performance overall
on the newer phones is fine and the same is
true of older phones so performance on older phones such as the
6s plus here seem to be fine it's smooth just like
you would expect in fact don't expect it to be slower than ios
13 for example you'll see it's just loading through wi-fi there
let's scroll and you'll see scrolling is okay
it's fine it's completely usable no issues here
so if we go to settings i haven't had any freezing on this device either
and then the iphone 11 which is actually the device most of you are using
and i'll talk about that with the statistics in a moment but this device
is nice and fast no issues here whatsoever
it feels like you're using an 11 pro max so
no issues with performance and most of you have said the same thing
other than the few that we're saying was freezing now as far as ipad os
well my ipad honestly i've had zero problems with with ipad os
beta 8. in fact it's been incredibly stable zero problems
zero freezing zero lag and 4k youtube and everything is working just fine
now that's up to youtube whether or not they enable it it seems to be working
just fine i've never had any issues you'll see how smooth and fast it is
with this 120 hertz display no issues whatsoever so if you have
anything from an iphone 7 to the latest 11 pro max performance
should be pretty good now should you install ios 14 beta 8
well i would say if you haven't already you definitely
should it's better than the other betas by far in my opinion
it's as stable as can be and we're very close to a gm
or golden master version like i mentioned earlier so
based off today here you'll see i record these a little ahead of time
but based off today i would say that apple is going to release the gm
after the apple event on tuesday so on the 15th
expect the gold master or golden master and then
probably the week of the 20th we'll see the final release
usually that's on a friday when they do that or thursday
but they could release it earlier in the week if my memory serves me correctly it
may have been earlier in the week but either way
it will be released to the public probably in this week and then we'll see
ios 14.1 maybe later on some people have said
that that will come out once the iphone 12
launches so whether or not we see a launch at this week's event is hard to
say but i just can't wait to see what we
have at that event now here are all the different issues that people have
mentioned based off the youtube community poll
so quite a few people mentioning battery whether that's good or bad
people are saying ram management is good most people are saying freezing or lag
and a few people were having notification issues with mail like i
said before just notifications in general also
now here are all the devices you're using based off the poll now iphone 11
is the number one used device it seems based off the
community poll so it makes sense it's the least expensive newest device so
if you want to see more of that in the videos let me know in the comments below
now let's take a look at the youtube community poll now at the time of this
video you can see there's 11 000 votes which is pretty incredible i
think and 318 comments where i got all the
information from before forty percent of you said it was great
three percent said it was terrible nine percent said okay but some bugs and
48 percent of you have not upgraded yet so i think it's getting a little bit
better if we look at the previous poll go back to beta seven you'll see still
three percent said terrible but only nine percent verse 11
this time said it had bugs 40 are saying it's
great so i think overall this one is actually doing
pretty well now let's take a look at some of the comments
bruce hemer says using an iphone 8 plus running ios 14 beta 8
the phone app crashes devised a workaround by calling from either the
contacts app or imessage app but direct dial is unavailable because it lies
within the phone app make sure you report that to the
feedback app of course if others are having this it's a major bug
thankfully you're the only one i've heard of having it so maybe a reboot
would fix it i'm not sure but hopefully it's not a major issue within
the os angel or angel valera says iphone 11 pro max everything runs well
battery is excellent however having connectivity issues sometimes
web pages just hang then three to four seconds later
load in other cases even with full bars nothing loads at all on verizon and
thanks for the great video gerdeep singh says iphone X performance
stability and battery are great on this beta
william100 said battery in my 8 plus is draining a little too quick still
otherwise i really like it christopher rodriguez says performing great on my
iphone 11. armin alexandrian said no real
complaints iphone 11 pro max smooth and snappy raj f menon says
running it on my iphone sc first gen performance is smooth overall and
battery life has definitely improved the only issue i'm facing right now is
that the app library stutters when scrolling
this problem has persisted ever since public beta 3 for me
not sure if it's ever going to be fixed lp photography said it's doing great on
my 6s brian seuss says still having issues
with my news widget not showing up on my 11 pro
max tricky said my iphone XR is running smooth on ios 14 beta 8 and the same
goes for the ipad 7 on ipad os 14 beta 8.
can't wait for the gm master savage said ios 14 has to be the best beta of all of
them no annoying bugs i have ios 14 beta 8
and my iphone 11 pro max it is an absolutely amazing software and
i'm looking forward to the gm broly said iphone 6s here seems like my
phone is getting hotter more often than it was on
ios 13.7 i've encountered a few ui glitches and one bug i've had in
particular is not being able to enable availability alerts for exposure
notifications it says location services is off when
it's all turned on i've reported it reported any bugs i've
found in the feedback app though that is actually related directly to
whether or not you have an app in your in your area or location if you do it
should be available if not it won't be available codegeek said it's
running smoothly on my ipod touch 7th gen with no issues thank you for
saying all the features on these betas and thank you for watching teacher york
says ios beta 8 on my iphone 8 plus has been really smooth
only my battery tends to drain slightly quicker than usual and i haven't seen
any degrade in my battery health from ninety percent so i know
it's a software problem thank you nikitesh moses says i'm using
an iphone XR i have issues with the music it's not
running in the background with some apps and some third-party apps also not
working which is working with my other se with ios 13.7 rajco says higher and
there is still an annoying bug with a clock widget
and brightness on the control center the big difference compared to beta 7 in
terms of speed and stability we will still maybe have another beta
and this one is almost like a gm we'll see rem's rhythm says really good
on my iphone X back tap works a lot better now and
battery life has improved still not at ios 13 level but getting there
alvin says battery performance has been markedly
improved notice some lag between cellular and wi-fi
swapa and vice versa although modem firmware has been
the same in the last three betas let's wait for the gm candidate hopefully
coming next week jaime garcia says some visual
bugs for me but they go as soon as you swipe the
page everything else is fine iphone 11.
thomas van gorkham says it's doing great on my iphone XR although battery life
isn't the best hopefully they'll fix that soon and then
finally lord yt says it's running very smooth on my iphone 7
and i've noticed some improvements for my battery and also the performance
so that's it for ios 14 beta 8. again look for a gm
hopefully in a few days along with that apple event which i'll have a video
updating that on monday talking about everything to expect and
even more so be sure to check back for that
