Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.5.1 came out as a bit of a surprise early
last week as well as the previous friday ios 14.6 beta 2. now i've actually been using both versions
on my iphone 12 pro max i was using 14.5.1 then later installed beta 2 of 14.6 and then also had
the same experience on my ipad pro 12.9 from 2020 so i was having battery issues with ipad os 14.5.1
i completely wiped the device like i said i would probably do if i was having issues
completely wiped and clean installed ios 14.6 beta 2 and then restored so we'll see how the
battery did on that and then also on the three remaining devices they're all running ios 14.5.1
on the iphone 6s plus iphone 12 pro and iphone 11. now before we talk about the overall experience
and the youtube community poll where you had a ton of great feedback talking about the experience of
it and i want to cover battery life and those sorts of things one feature that's gotten a
lot of attention is app tracking transparency now with app tracking transparency i'm already
in it in settings but you can get to it by going to settings then privacy then tracking
if you turn this on you'll be prompted to allow different apps to track if you turn it off you
won't get any requests and it just will block everything so it's enabled basically either way
but some people are getting pop-ups from things like instagram where they're popping up and saying
if you don't enable this we may not be able to offer the app free in the future i actually
experienced this myself in instagram so i took a screen capture of it or a screenshot let me go
into photos and as you can see it says you're on ios 14.6 it requires us to ask permission
to track activity and down here it says help keep instagram free of charge now this is a
little bit deceptive since they're going to make money off of ads either way so this is something
that i would enable turning off app tracking for it's not a new feature but this feature is great
it stops applications from tracking you across your device so i definitely recommend just turn
it off if you don't want any prompts if for some reason you want to allow them you can turn it back
on so that's basically the new feature here and that is was enabled with 14.5 actually in use it
was enabled or in there before but it wasn't enabled until 14.5 now as far as the overall
experience i'll first talk about 14.5.1 but if you want to jump to a different section of course
the time codes are always in the description now with 14.5.1 on certain devices there's some speed
issues when it comes to benchmarking now whether or not these actually affect the device itself is
yet to be seen but when you go into geekbench for example i booted this up and tried again
scores are unusually low for some reason so the single core score is normal at 1
569 but the multi-core score is fairly low a lot of people have been mentioning this and this seems
to be a problem however not everyone is saying that it affects the overall usage so if you go
into cpu and you'll see the different days may 7th i just ran it the single or the multi-core score
is quite low until we go back to the previous version on march 26th where it was over 4 000 for
the multi-core score now it's about half of that and while that's just a benchmark of the device
geekbench actually released an update to geekbench when ios 14.5.1 came out and so i'm not sure if
it's something apple changed on the back end to stop this from actually testing properly
or if it's something else many people say that they're having this issue as you can see here
and also they say that they're not sure it affected performance so it seems to be smooth and
performing well with 14.5.1 but it's definitely an issue as far as bugs well a lot of people
are mentioning some bugs with 14.5.1 such as the phone getting overly hot so whether you're using
a 12 pro or an iphone 11 the phone is getting abnormally warm now it will get warm when you
charge it for example but for some reason it just gets hot sometimes when you're using it sometimes
when you're not using it and it's not charging it will get warm and that will definitely drain
your battery more quickly if you're having that happen people continue to have issues with wi-fi
and bluetooth for some reason apple for some reason with 14 point maybe 14.2 and on
bluetooth just seemed to go downhill so if you're having bluetooth issues
you could still be having them even with ios 14.6 as well so there's definitely something
going on as far as that and also people are still experiencing problems with the phone freezing
so all of those things are in 14.5.1 but some people don't have any issues whatsoever they're
experiencing pretty great usage overall now with 14.5.1 the overall speed and everything it doesn't
seem to be affected too much for me on the 12 pro max but on the 6s plus i did boot it up earlier
trying something else it's a little bit warm for some reason i haven't been using it and it's
experiencing that same sort of thing i mentioned before now it seems okay right now scrolling
through things but going into different apps i did notice it lagged quite a bit so i'm not sure
if they're doing something else on the background if it's still processing or something else now as
far as overall battery life i went through all of the comments in the youtube community poll
and if you were running 14.5.1 i looked at that and then determined whether or not you said it
was the same or better than ios 14.5 or worse 51 percent of you out of a couple hundred comments
said that it was the same or better 49 percent of you said that it was worse that's actually very
close to 50 50 and that's probably the worst i've seen it in a very long time so it's definitely not
amazing for some people on battery life but for others it's fine for example my daughter and my
wife have not complained about battery life at all but others have so it just depends they're running
that full time but it just depends now when it comes to ipad os 14.5.1 and 14.6 beta 2 despite
wiping the ipad it does not seem to have improved battery life performance has never been an issue
on the ipad in fact it's performed great i've had zero issues on these versions with the ipad
battery life is the concern and you'll see it was last charged on thursday to 75 percent and then
over the next few days or a couple days it was used about an hour and 52 minutes and then again
for that amount of time so if i was using it for about four hours total from 75 percent down to 9
60 of the battery with four hours of use is quite bad so hopefully it improves maybe it's
still doing some background tasks after completely wiping it but so far it's bad as far as battery
hopefully it'll improve soon but it is on a beta now but either way it should be better
before ios 14.5 it was much better or earlier on now as far as my experience with 14.6 beta
2 it's actually been pretty good i have had a couple issues with it for example air dropping
something airdrop sometimes seems to be a little bit slow for me on my 12 pro max also some touch
responsiveness issues sometimes it just doesn't want to respond as far as speed and touching
the screen i'll have to tap an app a couple times so i've actually reported these issues
in the feedback app and you want to make sure you do the exact same thing because
then they'll prioritize it and fix those issues so i reported the touch issue and the airdrop
issue seemed to be more prevalent today so i'll probably report that a little bit later today but
if you're having major issues be sure to report that however those of you using ios 14.6 beta 2
most of you and i mean the vast majority of you said that battery life is great a big improvement
over 14.5 for example so a lot of you are saying that so in general many of you are having good
experiences now overall battery life on my iphone 12 pro max if we go into settings and there's a
little glitch there you might have just seen go to battery battery health i'm at 100 i've been using
this every single day with the exception of doing reviews and things when the iphone 12 and 12 mini
and 12 pro came out but this has been my main phone other than that and i'm at 100 i charge
it every night using a fast charger a magsafe fast charger but i don't use a case so it can
vent the heat pretty easily as well if we take a look at the last 10 days it's varied greatly
you'll see this is pretty much when i installed 14.5.1 and then i switched to 14.6 but if we take
a look at yesterday it wasn't so great 2 hours and 42 minutes of screen on time 2 hours and 23
minutes of screen off time and i used about 60 percent of the battery if we go back another day
it's about the same so i'm still not getting great battery life on this however i went to bed with 50
percent of my battery life left and i didn't put it on a charger most of the day so no issues there
i'm at 69 now and well i've been using it all day so it hasn't been on the battery at all today
and today it has three hours and 20 minutes of screen on time under 50 of the battery life so
generally i feel like i'm getting eight to ten hours no problem and most people are saying the
same i'm not sure if it's reporting properly and i would love to see apple revamp this in ios 15
to maybe report the last usage since charged so when it was charged up to 97 or 100 let me know
how it's been ever since then without plugging it in or anything else not just 24 hours so hopefully
we'll see something like that in the upcoming ios 15 revision now as far as if you should update to
ios 14.5.1 well that really depends if security is a main concern for you because it's a security fix
if you're not as concerned with that well then you might want to wait until 14.6 comes out to the
public however i wouldn't advise updating to ios 14.6.2 if you're looking to maybe solve problems
with 14.5 if you have an extra device and you want to test it or you're a developer then obviously
it's fine to install but if you install it on your main device and have major bugs that could be a
concern for you so it seems like something i don't generally recommend but if you want to try it out
and you know what you're getting into i would try the public beta if you're going to try any of them
and as far as when ios 14.6 will release to the public well based on what we think at this point
it looks like the end of may on the 21st of may for example is when apple is supposedly going to
start shipping or delivering the new imac as well as the new ipad pro if that's true we need ipad os
14.6 since that's what added support for it we'll need that on our iphones and our ipads for support
for those new devices so hopefully we'll see it around that time if not they could have an interim
update but i expect it sometime around then of course with a ios 15 with all the major changes in
june on june 7th and i covered that in a different video what to expect there so 14.6 beta 2 is
pretty stable and i want to share with you the statistics and we'll look at some of the youtube
community pull comments so here are the statistics about what people mentioned as far as battery life
lag freezing it being slow getting a little bit warm and crashing now also here's all the
statistics about all the devices you're using and an impressive amount of you are using iphone 11.
i was surprised how many more were using iphone 11 than anything else and that makes sense it's a
very good value has a fast processor and i highly recommend it even though people say the screen
isn't that great i think it looks great especially for an lcd if you don't care about the oled
display and also if pwm bothers your eyes that sort of thing then of course this is the way to go
has all the new features and it's the least expensive with all those features but either way
it keeps doing the homepod thing when i bring them close for some reason as well so either
way it was impressive to see how many people were using iphone 11. now let's take a look at
the youtube community poll and we'll take a look at some of the comments so we'll go to youtube
and at the time of this poll since i get ready for the weekend you'll see 13 000 of you voted
which is incredible and there are 286 comments at the time of this video as you can see 63
percent of you say that ios 14.5.1 is great or there were no changes between that and ios 14.5
with ios 14.5.1 12 of you said that it had bugs or that it's terrible
with fourteen point six beta two only eight percent of you are saying that it's greater no
changes and three percent say that it's terrible thirteen percent of you are using something older
or android or a different operating system altogether so it's pretty impressive to see 63
percent of you actually say that it was good or no issues noticed and generally those with the main
issues battery life and things will be the first to comment as well so
battery life is okay but it definitely brings some bug fixes and i think with 14.6 it'll get
much better now if we go into the comments we'll sort by new and take a look at some of them i
showed you some of them in this video so let's go ahead and take just a look at a few of them
and you'll see akroft here says ios 14.5 was running great updated to 14.5.1 and noticed
some battery drain issues so i rolled back to 14.5.1 while it's still being signed by apple
iphone 11 pro hirok ahmed says heating issue solved my iphone was heating while playing pubg
now i was was needed a tablet fan but don't need it anymore and i have a solution for
your headphone issue go to accessibility touch call auto routing then select bluetooth headset
iphone 12 pro max 14.5.1 paul alvarez says 14.5.1 has been buggy on my 12 pro max
spotify and youtube would freeze sometimes upon opening bluetooth connection is unstable with my
airpods pro elvis wu knight says on my iphone 6s plus 100 i'm just loving it on ios 14.5.1
sherman west says working good on my iphone 12 pro max using 14.6 beta 2 no problem so far
fast the connectivity is great maria d says i'm using ios 14.5.1 the battery is slightly better
than 14.5 but not as good as 14.4 i have a 100 battery health but it isn't the isn't lasting
me as long as before iphone 12. i've had some app crashes and some not loading i hope 14.6 is
fixes all of this especially battery i'll read a couple more xavier d says 14.6 beta 2 on my 12
pro max has hands down been the best beta to date battery life has been excellent way better than
the official 14.5 release and performance has been great easily getting through the day i'm
usually up by 4 am with 40 to 50 battery life left at the end of the day usually 7 to 8 pm
the sad panda says iphone 11 with ios 14.5.1 is doing okay battery life is still a little bad
mario goucher said ios 14.6 beta 2 on my iphone 12 pro i don't see any difference compared to
the 14.5 release candidate really stable for me and so that's it for ios 14.5.1 and 14.6 beta
2. like i said look for 14.6 fairly soon based on what apple is releasing hardware wise but i'd like
to change up these follow-up videos a little bit and wondered what might work best for you if you'd
like to just see less information if you enjoy the longer videos let me know in the comments below
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description
