Hi, everyone.
Aaron here for Zollotech and iOS 14.7 Beta 3 was released to developers
and hopefully soon to public beta testers,
apple never released a beta two to public beta testers due to an eSIM issue.
And so this particular version was released hopefully along with public beta
three, or maybe they'll just use public beta two is the name.
Now this particular update varies from device to device, but on my iPhone,
10 R it came in at 351.2 megabytes.
And then my iPhone 12 pro max, it came in at 4.57 gigabytes.
It just depends on the version you're actually coming from.
So it can vary from device to device.
Now I have beta three on the iPhone seven as well,
and also apple released iPad iOS 14.7 beta three that I have on the iPad air
two right here,
as well as watch OS 7.6 beta three tvOS 14.7,
beta three and macOS 11.5 beta three. Now,
for those of you wondering about iOS 15, beta two,
I'll talk more about that a little bit later now,
along with all of those updates, apple also released updates for older devices,
iOS 12.5.4 for iPhone 6 and older,
that can support iOS 12. For example,
it has three important security updates in it. So that's available as well.
Now let's go ahead and take a look at the build number and talk about what's
new. So we'll go home then we'll go to settings.
Then we'll go to general than about in the build number is 18G5042c.
And this particular update not being an a at the end means we'll probably have
another update or release candidate after that, before we see a final version.
So apple will continue to release iOS 14 updates until September when I was
15 will release to the public. Now,
as far as the first new thing in this update, well, if you have a newer iPhone,
you'll have a modem update. So it's a slight modem update on the iPhone,
12 pro 12 pro max, 12 and 12 mini.
And you may have one on older devices as well,
but there is a new modem update in this. And as far as new features, well,
there's a few new things in this. As we're getting iOS 15 in a few months,
don't expect any major changes,
but there's a few refinements in this specifically in podcasts.
So if we go into podcasts and I have the iPhone 10 are on the older beta here,
so we can take a look at that as well. And under podcasts,
if we tap on library at the bottom, then tap on shows. We'll go back here,
tap on shows under shows. You can see it looks pretty much the same,
but if I tap on edit,
then edit shows under edit shows.
Maybe I tap the minus to get rid of one and you'll see the wording is a little
bit different on the newer beta. It says, keep,
keep saved episodes and unfollow and remove all prior to this.
It would just say unfollow. So that's a small change,
but it is a little bit different. So that has been updated as well.
And then also, if I tap on cancel, we'll go back. And then on the top,
you might notice it's a little bit different as well,
where it says followed and all. So if you unfollow one,
so maybe this one isn't particular, you'll see, it says follow.
If you unfollow it, it doesn't disappear from your,
but rather will show up under all. If I go back to followed it disappears,
go back to all it comes back. So maybe you don't. I want to follow someone,
but occasionally you want to see some podcasts that you were listening to.
You'll now have that option and they've updated that in podcasts. Now,
also some people were saying,
why does an Apple's podcast app have a playback speed? It actually does.
If you tap on the episode in the bottom left, there's a 1X, 1.5 X,
2X, 1/2X or half speed. So you have all of those options.
One speed, one and a half, two and half speed. So they're there as well.
So if you were looking for that,
that's where they are now as far as anything else, new. Well,
there's nothing else that seems obvious as far as new features or any changes.
So there's nothing really obvious there, but there is those few changes.
However, as far as bugs and resolved issues, well,
this one better have the eSIM problem fixed or the SIM card error fix that
people were getting with beta two. And that's why we never saw public beta.
So along with this, I'm sure they fix that. However,
they said in their notes that there are no new release notes for this beta
software update. So they haven't mentioned anything,
whether that be the SIM card error, which I would imagine they'd fix.
Since you want to be able to use this with your SIM card,
as well as green tint or any other issues.
I haven't heard a whole lot of information back on iOS 14.7 or 15 with green
tint as to whether or not it's been fixed. Most people say nothing about it.
So that leads me to believe it's probably fixed for the majority of people as
quite a few people were very vocal about it before.
So now people aren't really saying a whole lot. That means if it is happening,
whether you're on a dark screen, you're in settings,
maybe the brightness is down and you have a green fringe around the outside
edge. Hopefully that's gone,
but we won't know until people use this for a few days.
So hopefully that's gone. Let me know in the comments below,
as far as overall battery life,
while the battery life does take a few days to measure,
but I can show you the previous one on a different phone. Now,
if we go over to my iPhone, that's running right iOS 15.
I can show you because I've only been running this for about a week and it keeps
up to 10 days. So I can show you a couple of days of battery life on beta two.
So if we go to settings, go down to battery and then go to, well,
we'll check battery health.
You'll see I'm at a hundred percent still in the last 10 days.
If we go back to these two days,
you can see this is where I was running beta two.
And it varies depending on the day.
So on last Saturday before beta one or two Saturdays ago
before beta, one of iOS15 was installed on this.
I had two hours and 41 minutes of screen on time,
two hours and 53 minutes of screen off time and used about 40% of the battery.
The next day I had about the same screen on time only six minutes more two hours
and 47 minutes,
but only 14 minutes of screen off time and used about 30% of the battery.
So I am getting about nine hours of screen on time on this device with
14 seven with iOS 15,
it seems to be a little bit more for me or about the same. So in general,
it's pretty good battery life. Like I said,
it will take a few days to measure that for sure. Running 14.7 beta three. Now,
as far as overall performance,
we'll take a look at the benchmark scores and just a moment,
it seems pretty fast, but I wanted to show you the iPhone seven.
This is the jet black iPhone seven,
and show you this since I haven't loaded everything since rebooting it.
So if we go back to browse,
we'll wait for it to load here and see how scrolling is, seems to be okay.
Generally it will sort of hiccup when going into music and browsing.
If we go over to the app library, you'll see, it did slow down a little bit.
If we go to the names here and scroll through all these games,
there's a couple of small hiccups there as I'm scrolling, but in general,
it's pretty good. It's nice and fast for most things and overall performance.
I wouldn't expect really too much of a difference between the iOS 14.7 betas.
So it should be the same or improved from the previous one. Now,
as far as iPad iOS, well,
I've had a Wes doesn't get any different changes other than the podcast ones I
already mentioned. So in general,
it's going to be about the same performance on the iPad. The iPad Air 2,
which is the oldest supported device,
seems to be pretty good and iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 will be coming to this device as
well. So that's great news. So it's nice and fast again, going into music.
We'll give it just a moment to reload. Go to browse again,
wait for it to load off the internet here. And.
You'll see it's a little bit stuttery, not super smooth,
but it is the first time it's loading. So it's okay. It's not amazing.
And battery life was actually okay on 14.7 with the newer iPad.
So it seems to be about the same, however,
battery life is great on the iPadOS 15 beta.
So that's a good sign that they're improving. Some of that.
Now let's take a look at the benchmark scores.
So we'll go over to geek bench here, find it.
And I ran it just after installing the update.
I have 1,595 for a single core at 4,196 for
multi-core on the iPhone 12 pro max.
If we take a look at the history and what it scored before,
let's see if we can find the date here at the top,
between May 19th and June 14th.
You'll see it's a little bit lower for single core and a little bit higher for
multi-core get that little dust spec off there,
and it's a little bit higher for multi-course. So that's a good sign.
So it looks like it's doing just fine and that's right after installing the
update and running it. Now, as far as all of these devices,
let's go back into geek,
mention all of them that I've run geek mention that are running beta three.
Here, we'll go to geek bench and.
Line them up so you can see what it's like on all of them.
And so from the left to right,
I have the iPad air two followed by the iPhone seven and the iPhone 12 pro max.
Again,
this is just to give you a general idea of overall performance when running
benchmarks right after installing the update. So if yours or anything like this,
it should be about the same. And you know, that they're performing.
Like they should be as far as overall heat of the device while it doesn't seem
to get very warm, even after installing the update, it was just barely warm.
And after running geek bench,
I normally wait for it to cool down a little bit after running geek bench.
It's nice and cool as well.
Even though it's using processor intensive applications,
it does get a little bit warm, but it's not very hot.
So maybe they've fixed some of those issues for those of you that are concerned
about it. Getting extremely warm. Now,
as far as should you install iOS 14.7 beta three? Well,
if you're already on 14.7 beta one or beta two, then I would say absolutely.
If you're not going to try out iOS 15, for example. So it seems pretty stable.
And of course you can always report feedback as you're having issues.
Make sure you report that to let apple know what's going on with it and they can
fix that. And again, like I said, we'll see iOS 14.7 updates,
well into the next few months until they release iOS 15 to the public.
Now, as far as iOS 14.7 beta four, I would expect to in a week or so,
or maybe even a release candidate as we get closer and closer to the final
release, which I expect within the next few weeks at this point. However,
we never know that for sure. As far as iOS 15 beta two,
I've got a lot of questions about that today.
I would expect that probably next week,
normally apple waits about two weeks for the first versions of their beta
with beta two or beta three,
we should see the release of the public beta as well.
So we could see that as soon as another week or in a couple of weeks for public
beta testers. So look for that. And of course, as soon as I know,
I'll let you know as well. Now,
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
