Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15 beta 8 is probably the last beta on tuesday
usually after the apple event we should get the release candidate now last year we actually had
eight betas we had ios 14 beta 8 which released after the announcement of the event they didn't
do this do that this year with beta 9 but instead we have beta 8 and it looks like we've had it for
about two weeks i've been running it full time on my iphone 12 pro max which is my main phone i also
have it on the iphone 11 right here and an ipad pro 12.9 from 2021 the m1 ipad pro and so with ios
15 i wanted to talk about its overall stability so far since it should be out to the public fairly
soon i'll talk a little bit more about that later on but it seems like it's fairly stable
for most people not everyone is going to have the same experience but for a lot of people it seems
to be pretty good and ios 15 is more of a update that fixes a lot of little things and sort of has
stability and small upgrades keep in mind people have been working from home programming ios 15 to
be what it is today and so they've added a lot of things that people have wanted for quite some time
and just refined things there's actually about 350 to 400 total changes in this update even though
a lot are not super visual like the the weather app and the widget so this has been updated quite
nicely but a lot of things have not changed visually compared to ios 14. and some people
are seeing apps updated finally for their banking apps so i saw some this morning with from germany
where it says it supports ios 15. so if you're having those issues finally it should be working
with your phone just make sure that the update is there apple is allowing them to go through now
which makes me think we'll see ios 15 released to the public probably sometime next week generally
when an update comes out we'll have you'll see today the 10th when i'm recording this and usually
the the event is on the 14th we'll see the release candidate and if they do what they did last year
we had the release the following day however we could see it sometime later in the week or even
the following week so it's just really hard to say what apple's actually going to do but it seems
like that's what they've been doing for the past couple of years and they could continue doing now
now with ios 15 beta 8 there's quite a few things that are working great at this point but there's
still people that are having issues with quite a few little things all throughout the os now one
way i was able to resolve most of that for me is by resetting all the settings on the phone so i've
talked about this in a few different videos and if you go to your settings then general then go
down to transfer or reset iphone then go to reset reset all settings actually fixed a lot of issues
i was having everything from odd connectivity issues to just crashes and things like that now
it is a bit of a pain because you'll have to set up your network settings again and basically any
setting you had such as background app refresh and things like that you'll have to reset all
your notification settings so it's a bit of a pain to do but it did fix a lot of issues i was having
and i've heard this from other people that have reset it so everything from odd bluetooth
connectivity issues and everything else it seems to resolve those issues for a lot of people
so for me it seems like bluetooth and wifi are fixed once i did that before i did that there were
some strange issues but so far it's been pretty good and performance has been quite good as well
now there are some bugs i'll talk about in a moment but performance overall has been great
even on older phones so with the iphone 11 which isn't too old but if you have an iphone 6s or
iphone 6s plus you're still going to have decent performance whether that's scrolling or going into
apps like music having that load and you'll see i don't have any connection on this device right now
since i'm outside but in general it seems to be pretty decent overall for most people as far as
performance compared to ios 14. i wouldn't say there's any degradation in performance
and it seems to be about the same so as far as those issues they seem to be pretty good now there
is an issue with storage that some people are seeing quite a bit so if you go into your settings
and you go to general and then you go and look at your iphone storage quite
a few people are seeing an odd storage bug where they could have it taking up many many gigabytes
and so i'm waiting for it to load here we'll give it just a moment now it took a little bit
of time to calculate the storage but quite a few people are having issues with other
or system and things taking up a lot of space you'll see my system data is at zero kilobytes
so so that's fine for me but for some people it's taking up a ton of space and what some people
have told me is to reset or clear your cache or history settings in safari reboot the phone this
was shared by elvis on my telegram server and if you want to join that it's in the description but
if you do that and reboot clear your cache you can do that by going to your settings
and then in your settings go down to safari under safari scroll down and clear history and website
data once you do that and reboot it seems to fix that problem for a lot of people so i would try
that it will of course clear all of your history and website data but as long as you're okay with
that once you reboot it seems to fix those storage issues so that still remains an issue for some and
another issue that some people are having is odd connectivity issues with with airpods so their
air pods will randomly disconnect thankfully since resetting my settings that has not been an issue
for me at all so it's doing quite good as far as that goes now as far as other things that are
fixed it seems like connectivity is fixed this time now i'm still on beta 8 like i was before
and my 4g to 5g switching seems to be working just fine before when i would go to different
websites and things it just wouldn't load after this week it seems to be okay so for some reason
it's much much better so now if i go into safari and we're at apple and i tap on learn more you'll
see everything's loading pretty reasonably so i haven't really had any issues as far as that
goes it seems to load just fine if i go back go to something else and load it it seems to be nice
and fast like you would expect so the connectivity issues have gone away for me i don't know if that
was a t-mobile issue or something else or carrier dependent but it definitely seems to have made a
difference between last week and this week now some other people are having other issues such
as odd scrolling bugs so when you're scrolling sometimes it will be stuttery or lock up other
people cannot play back videos on youtube on safari where it would just sort of stutter or
give a blank screen it was fixed in beta 7 but people are still having that issue in beta 8 now
also some people have said facetime is giving them an issue with disconnects i've seen that
a couple times even since the past week or so i'll be using facetime with a call with a family member
and then it just hangs up so there's some odd issues usually with the initial connection
now also some people are still not seeing live text where you can select text within photos and
this is a screenshot someone sent me of their updated banking app but you can see it says ios
15 compatibility but it's in german but you see i can select the text some people are not able to
do this even if they have a supported device that feature is not available on all devices
but most people that are having this issue you need to change your settings to english
and then it will show up it's not supported in all languages from what many people are telling me
they're only seeing it in english and apple does say they don't support it on every language just
yet so it will be coming later on other people are having odd brightness issues i had this early on
i don't seem to have it now but the brightness issues seem to be resolved i don't know if it
just took a while to sort of fix itself after it finished doing things in the background
and notifications are getting stuck for some people now it's been resolved for me last week
i reported that the notification badge was just not accurate some people have been saying it's
just because your focus modes are on and for me that wasn't the case sometimes it just wasn't
checking mail regularly so i updated some of my settings in mail and things seemed to be resolved
now so there's definitely some odd issues still going on i don't think most of those are major the
cellular issues obviously are major and if you're still having issues with wi-fi and bluetooth
and for some reason with early betas of ios 15 all of a sudden bluetooth was a problem
it wasn't before so maybe they changed something and hopefully they fix this in the future
now as far as the heat of the device some people are still reporting the device getting warm
right now it's about 73 degrees as far as the outside temperature you can see here
and the phone is a little bit warm but that's because i'm at full brightness recording this if
it was 90 degrees out fahrenheit the phone would get hot enough where it would dim the screen this
seems to be a continued issue and it's probably an issue with the chipset itself so hopefully
iphone 13 resolves this with maybe better cooling as is rumored with that upcoming iphone
also green tint is still an issue for some and at this point apple has not resolved it we've seen
no ios 14.8 and they've resolved it by this time last year with the iphone 11 pro and 11 pro max
and so far we have nothing as far as that goes this year so it makes me think it might be more
hardware related for those that are experiencing it thankfully none of my iphone 12 models the 12
mini 12 12 pro or 12 pro max have experienced it and i haven't seen it personally in person only
from people sending that to me i haven't seen it myself but it does continue to be a problem
for some people now as far as overall battery life on this phone i've been using it full time
like i said so if we go to my battery and battery health i'm down to 94 it hasn't dropped for the
past few betas and if we look at the last 10 days yesterday i only had two hours and 26 minutes of
screen on time five hours and four minutes of screen off time a lot of that is playing music
and things in the background if we look at today one hour and 44 minutes of screen on time one hour
and 14 minutes of screen off time in both cases i used 40 to 50 percent battery life so that's
not that great but you'll see the day before i had fifty percent usage here you can see fifty percent
and three hours and twenty minutes of screen on time five hours and twenty eight minutes of screen
off time with fifty percent usage that means if we double these numbers and i used it to 100 percent
we'd have about seven hours of screen on time and 10 to 11 hours of screen off time so that's
actually quite good most people are getting the 8 to 10 hours of screen on time you would expect
from a 12 pro max if you have an 11 pro max it might be even a little bit more it just depends on
your usage habits if you're using games regularly you're going to have worse battery life if you're
just using twitter and things like that you'll probably have better battery life so it really
depends on what you're using but let's take a look at the ipad battery as well now with the
ipad if we go to my settings and then we go down to battery i had this charge to 100 percent last
night one hour ago up until this morning and i've been getting about six hours of screen on
time you can see that here four hours and eight minutes of screen on time 28 minutes of screen
off time so i'm getting about six to eight hours my ipad battery life has been really odd lately so
i do expect it to improve with the final version but i may have to reset all settings again on this
or try and wipe it again to get that 10 hours but it just depends what you're doing i do use
it a lot for youtube but overall the ipad has been super stable and i've had no issues with it
whatsoever now as far as if you should install this update many people have been asking me
they want to try out ios 15 and i would say at this point if you're concerned about bugs and
any additional issues remaining maybe battery life i'd probably just hold off until next week or so
when we'll probably have it released to the public usually on the 15th to the 17th i would expect it
however it could be something different depending on what apple decides to do this year but
generally based off of year over year it should be this coming week or the following week at the
latest but probably this week after the event usually the next day or the next few days we'll
have the final version released to the public with ios 15 ipad os 15 watch os 8 and home pod os 15
and tv os 15. all of those should be out around the same time i would expect apple to delay mac
os maybe a few more weeks like they normally do so that's typically something they do with this so if
you want to try it out you could do that just make sure you have a backup and have a have a computer
to restore if you need to do that you need windows or a mac in order to restore with itunes or finder
otherwise definitely try it out it seems to be fairly stable for most people at this point
now as far as the overall apple event well that apple event is going to be on tuesday we should
see the new iphones probably a new apple watch and we'll have that as well so look forward to that
of course as soon as i know more about that and we hear everything i'll have a video about it as well
and we'll talk about what's new as far as that apple event but that event should be on the 14th
at 10 a.m pacific time or 1 p.m eastern i'll be watching it live and you can watch it on apple.com
or youtube and so be sure to check that out if you have the option to watch it live it's always
great to see what apple's announcing now as far as the youtube community poll it's been two weeks
or a little over a week now since it's been out and let's load that and ram management that just
reloaded you saw that i wasn't in youtube the entire time of the video so over the past few
10 15 minutes it's reloaded and you'll see it's been active for about a week with 39 000 votes
and 388 comments so 34 percent of you are on the beta already down up from 33 the previous week and
53 percent of you are still holding out for that final version or maybe you won't update altogether
it does look like apple's going to give you the option to stay on ios 14 permanently if
you want to do that with security updates so that seems to be a little bit different as far as the
overall community poll and the comments on the poll let's take a look at some of them i looked
at some last week let's take a look at some of the new newer ones sage says i have beta 8 on
both my devices on my ipad pro 12.9 4th gen the battery life is abysmal it goes to 70 in less
than two hours which is so bad typically i don't recommend measuring battery life from the time
it goes down from 100 to 70 as it's not really linear i would try it over the course of a day
till you get it down to about 10 percent or so my iphone 12 pro max is great and it's really smooth
too but saving photos from the messaging app doesn't work on occasions that's my only bug at
this moment jagged 637 says everything is running quick and smooth but i noticed the back getting
very hot when watching certain videos video apps espn especially when using picture in picture
slow wave set on ios 15 beta 8 iphone 11 apps that were crashing isn't having problems anymore
but the problem is the data network got slower than before matt barton says overall pretty stable
and good battery life on my iphone 12. only issue i've noticed is one live listen when connected to
my airpods pro the feature fails to turn off even when the screen states they are turned off chief
dan says still having horrible battery drain but overall not too bad my iphone isn't heating up
like it did on beta 7 and nothing has crashed iphone 12 pro max they just need to finally
address the battery drain and then everything will be perfect trepallium says i'm on ios 15 beta 8
on a regular original 12. it has never ran worse almost every app i'm using is crashing or freezing
battery is needed to be charged nearly twice a day from barely charging once a day
along with links refusing to open and pages on safari only loading partially also on tv os
airplay is running terribly i haven't had a single issue on any of the betas until now i've updated
every time and it's basically been flawless which is a bit concerning considering this is most
likely the last update before release now like i said before if you're having weird issues like
that i find that resetting all settings fixes all those issues it's a pain to do but it definitely
seems to help charles davis says battery life has been improved on my iphone 10r not so well on my
sc 2020. aj prime tech says battery life has been fine on my iphone 10 and stability has been great
cardi tech says i'm on ios 15 beta 8 with iphone 7 plus and i don't like that some features are
missing but i think there is a way some features are not available on the 7 plus i did a separate
video about that because if you have an a12 bionic or newer you'll have certain features if you don't
you won't have those features so just keep that in mind it's it's sort of highlighted on their
ios 15 page unfortunately james says seems to be doing well overall no major issues and the battery
life does well i'm using the 12 pro max aaron trouse says ios 15 public beta 8 on 12 pro max
feels somewhat more refined as snappier and i've seen a big improvement to battery life the phone
appears to run cooler as well and finally andrew says i'm on beta 8 now really stable 12 mini and
ipad 8 here and so that's everything with ios 15 beta 8 of course we should see the release
candidate and final release very soon i'm looking forward to that and of course that
apple event with the new iphones and more i can't believe we're already at that point in
in the year it seems like just yesterday they announced the 12 pro and the 12 pro max
but here we are again and with new ios updates and more we'll see more features as well with ios 15.1
once we get into those betas but let me know what you're most excited for in the comments below

i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
