Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released ios 14.2 developer beta 4. this
is available to developers and hopefully public beta testers soon although i would expect ios 14.2
public beta 4 probably tomorrow since this is a fairly late release today now alongside this apple
also released ipad os 14.2 beta 4 as well as tv os 14.2 beta 4. there was no update to the watch
or mac os big sur just yet maybe later or maybe tomorrow we'll have to wait and see now this
particular update came in at 449.5 megabytes on my iphone 11 pro max as well as about 500 megabytes
or so on the iphone 10r the ipad air 2 and iphone 11. now also earlier today apple released ios 14.1
and ipad os 14.1 and homepod os 14.1 so i did a separate video on ios 14.1 so if you want to see
everything new in that go ahead and take a look at the video i'll link it above now let's go ahead
and take a look at the build number you can see the build number is 18b 5083a and with the a at
the end i think we're getting close to a final release maybe a week or two away when it's time
for maybe iphone 12 pro max and iphone 12 mini and this particular update does have a new modem
update in it so i have a new modem number on my iphone 11 pro max they just incremented it by 0.1
so if you were having connectivity issues i wasn't but if you were hopefully it's fixed or a little
bit better for you now this update does have a major new feature at least for some people
and that is in your settings if we go to settings then we go to wallpaper choose new wallpaper
then stills you'll see there's finally some new wallpaper in fact there's nine new wallpapers so
let's go ahead and take a look at them or ate new wallpaper rather let's go ahead and take
a look at them you'll see here's the day mode version of this one we'll go to the next one and
then we'll go to the next one they're all rock formations on a mountain and then the next one
and another one which is a drawing of the same thing it looks like the pacific coast highway
and then if we scroll down a little bit we have another drawing of a lake or a river within mount
in between mountains or in a valley another one that looks sort of like the desert dunes with
mountains and then the final one is sort of a sea coast sort of drawn photo or something like
that so they're all fairly nice let me go into this we'll switch to dark mode and you can see
them with dark mode as well so what it does is basically eliminate the background so if we go
to the next one the background just turns black instead of having a sky so as we go through them
you can see again very similar just without a background but when we get to the painted one
of the pacific coast highway it's sort of a bluish purple tint to it and then again they've done the
same with all of them which is kind of interesting it's sort of unapple like to have these drawn ones
but i kind of like them let me know what you think about them in the comments below now another thing
they've updated is in the home app there's a new discover tab so if we go into discover you
can see at home with apple getting started going down to lighting going to security comfort entry
and if we go to the previous version which i actually have on the iphone 11 find the home app
here go into home you'll see the tab is missing so it's a new tab that they've added with beta 4
and it's just a slight change now some people are seeing variances when you go into notes and you
go to the color picker when you're drawing i'm not seeing it it's taking up the whole screen some are
seeing it take up only part of the screen but it is a small change as well and so those are
all the major changes in this particular update there may be some small tweaks here and there
but the major ones have to do with music where it has the discovery and you can find that there
now there may be some other changes throughout and if i find more later on of course i'll do a video
about that with many new features now aside from the features i shared that you can see my friend
steve moser said looking within the code it looks like when you're using the new homepod intercom
feature that they have that they introduced with the last beta and with ios 14.1 today
there's a new error message if you can't deliver the actual message to someone so it will say could
not be delivered by whoever was trying to deliver it so that's a new feature with that now within
apple's notes there's some known issues as well and there's two one of them is if you're using
the ipad pro 11 inch second gen or ipad pro 12.9 inch 4th gen you won't be able to install it using
the actual ipsw file you have to go into your settings and then go into your software update
in order to install it otherwise you won't be able to be able to install it on those devices
this was the same thing they said last time as well also if you do have a home
pod and you have that update you won't be able to currently play or reply to intercom notifications
with ios 14.2 beta 4. for whatever reason that's a small change in this particular one
now they did not mention any resolved issues in this update so nothing that i could find as far as
that i don't see any changes but that doesn't mean they haven't fixed a few things here and there
so some were having issues with battery most people were saying ios 14.2 beta 3 battery
life was pretty solid let me go ahead and take a look at it since i haven't looked at it too much
my battery health is at 93 percent after more than a year so i'm pretty happy with that like
i've said before 80 after two years is normal but if we take a look at yesterday i had about
70 percent battery life that i used and i got 5 hours and 18 minutes of screen on time 4 hours
and 21 minutes of screen off time now that's not particularly great but the day before i used less
than fifty percent battery and got four hours and fourteen minutes of screen on time three hours and
seventeen minutes of screen off time so it really just depends on the day and what you're doing
it's going to vary greatly and i expect 10 to 12 hours of screen on time so hopefully it's fixed in
this particular update of course a follow-up and more time will be required to actually see that
now as far as changes throughout anything else ipad os don't expect anything there other than
what i already mentioned so things like the home home app should have similar updates
if we go into home again you'll see there's a new discover tab so you've got the same sort of thing
although it's not responding there we go we have a discover tab but nothing particularly new or
exciting other than what i've already shown you now other than that performance seems to be okay
on this particular update you'll see swiping through i never really have an issue with this
lately apple seems to have performance down but some people did have lag and stuttering in the
previous beta so hopefully it's fixed for you but it usually takes a few days of use to notice any
lag or as you're using different applications if things are stuttering and not working properly
so hopefully it's resolved with this one now let's take a look at the benchmarks so we'll go into
geekbench 5 and i ran this a couple times and i scored 1 330 for single core 3344 for multicore
that's not particularly great if we take a look at the history so i'm thinking it's going to take
some time to run it a little bit later after the phones cool down but as you can see here
october 20th i ran it a couple times i am getting higher than i did on beta 3 for the most part but
or about the same but it's really not anything phenomenal but that means it will perform the
same as beta 3 which i personally had no issues with now let's take a look at the other devices
now from the left to the right you can see i have the ipad air 2 followed by the iphone 10r then the
iphone 11 and then the iphone 11 pro max so this should give you a general idea of what to expect
from your scores of course if you have a little bit older device they may be a little bit lower
but these probably will go up over the next couple of hours as background processes are complete
and so that's it for this particular update now this update probably supports iphone 12 as well
since the previous beta did so look for iphone 12 12 pro coming this friday if you picked one up i'd
love to hear from you in the comments below and then of course the mini and the pro max will come
a little bit later so i'm looking forward to the larger size but that's not out yet let me know if
you found anything else though in the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper
in the description like i normally do now i'll also link all the wallpapers i mentioned earlier
