Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 5 has been out for a few
days to both developers and public beta
testers and so i wanted to talk about the overall experience help you decide
if you should install it and then also talk about a couple new
features that i missed in the past two videos so i had the what's new video
also more new features video from yesterday
with tons of information as far as new features and then
also i wanted to talk about how it's been for me how it's been for you based
off the youtube community poll and then also how ios 13.6.1
battery life has been there is a ton of data now that it's been over a week
so i wanted to help you out with that if you're still waiting to upgrade to ios
13.6.1 now later in the video i'll talk about
ios 14 beta 6 when to expect that and also if we
should see another ios 13 update but first i wanted to talk about iphone
12 because there's a new feature in ios 14 beta 5 that some are seeing on their
iphone but i'm not seeing yet but it is on the
ipad pro with the pro motion display so if you're looking forward to the next
version of the iphone that should look like this this is just a prototype unit
that doesn't work but it should look something like this
if you're looking forward to that well there's a new feature that some are
seeing in iphone that i'm not seeing but if you go into
settings on your ipad pro or on your iphone go to accessibility
and then go to motion at the very bottom you'll
see it says limit frame rate this allows you to set the maximum frame
rate to 60 frames per second now the only reason you would need that
is if the display can go over 60 frames per second
now there's no doubt that i think apple's been thinking about putting a
promotion display in the iphone but they haven't done it yet
now many people are saying we won't see it this year but i'm really hoping we
are and because it's popping up in the menus
i hope to see it on the next iphone so maybe we'll see that it's hard to say
now there is one other feature that i missed and it has to do with messages so
if we go into messages and if you type a really long message so
i just took a message that i typed it's kind of nonsense
you'll see that you get dot dot dot if the message is too long so if you tap on
that message it will open up in another window so you can read the entire thing
so that's a new feature that i missed and it should be helpful i'm not sure
that they need that i'd like to see it in the same window but it's nice to have
it on its own separate page as well i'd love to hear if you think that's a good
idea or not now next let's talk about the overall experience of ios 14 beta 5.
i've been using it primarily on my iphone 11 pro max but i also have it on
the iphone 7 as well as the 2020 ipad pro 12.9
that's actually running ipad os beta 5 which is essentially the same thing now
my iphone 11 is running ios 13.6.1 we'll talk more about that in a little
while now the first thing overall experience wise
is touch is laggy sometimes once in a while it will lock up
in fact it seems to happen more on the app library than anywhere else so if i
try and open an app sometimes it just freezes
or it doesn't let me touch and it doesn't do anything i've experienced
that a few different times and in fact i've had the phone lock up a few
different times the main area where it locks up i was
actually to find or figure out that it would lock up every single time when i
go to privacy under settings go to location
services you'll see it's locked up already a
little bit and then go down to system services it
completely freezes sometimes it unlocks itself other times
it doesn't and then other times it will respring
and that's where the phone sort of looks like it reboots
now i've had the respring happen when i was trying to set a wallpaper as well
so this beta definitely still has issues it will freeze on me regularly
and i've had resprings all over the place a couple times
privacy settings like i said and other places as well now within twitter if i
go into twitter and try and search sometimes the keyboard will freeze
once in a while it just completely freezes now this could need an
update from the app developer for twitter as well as instagram instagram
there is a consistent issue that people are seeing over and over and over
and that's when you try to add a story so if you go into instagram if you try
and add a story here and maybe we'll just snap a picture
it goes blank so right after you take a picture trying to add the story
it goes blank every time and so we'll try and take another one
and again it goes blank so there's some weird permissions issue
maybe the app needs an update to correlate with ios 14
beta 5 apis or something along those lines but there's definitely something
going on as far as that now other apps people want to know about
is call of duty call of duty is working it works without freezing most of the
time or crashing i had it crash once but it does load
i don't play it a ton but i was able to get into it and actually play a game
so you'll see it'll take just a second and it continues to load and it should
work without a problem so we'll wait for it to get to the home
screen and we'll get out of those and you'll
see we're here and we can play it however you cannot play pokemon go so
that still crashes and maybe that has something to do with the camera just
like instagram is experiencing a problem i suspect it has more to do with that
now the experience on my ipad has been completely different in fact i haven't
had a single crash i haven't had any issue whatsoever i
haven't had any apps freeze let's see if i can get it to freeze
going into that same setting here we'll just go down to the bottom system
services and apparently it will freeze in the same place so see if it's
happening to you it's not a huge deal but sometimes i can
get into it sometimes i can't but i may have to reboot when i do
so most of the time i don't really go into those settings normally on the ipad
but most of the time my experience on the ipad has been
really solid i've not had really any issues with it it seems to behave
properly but i use it mostly for safari as well as youtube and doing
things like that so i'm not using specific apps in it mostly just the apps
that come with it other than maybe youtube so it seems to
be performing pretty well now let's talk about the issues you're
having and then we'll talk about battery life on both ios 13.6.1
and ios 14 beta 5. now your overall experience seems to be much better
than beta 4. so if you had ios 14 beta 4 and you went to beta 5
many of you are saying that it's much much better than you had before
that doesn't mean it doesn't have issues and every phone has a different
configuration as far as its apps and the settings you have so
you may have a slightly different experience but for the most part people
are saying it's better the issue with instagram was the number
one mentioned issue but even on older phones it seems to be okay
as far as its stability and overall usability
however some people have said that the lightning to hdmi port no longer works
so adapters that use video out are still
having an issue it seems like and may not work properly on this beta
and also some people are seeing a weird thing on
ipads with stills so or the wallpapers with stills rather
so if we go into our settings we'll go to
wallpaper under wallpaper we'll go to choose a new wallpaper
and under choose a new wallpaper some people are saying that stills isn't
there and the category just completely
disappears now it seems to be there on the pro ipads but not
the other ipads so for whatever reason it's disappeared i'm sure it'll come
back or at least i hope it'll come back and hopefully we'll have new wallpapers
anyway with the next version now other than that there is one more
weird issue that someone sent in with some visual glitches you may have
seen one on the previous video that i did
i had the tv app sort of hover in the upper left hand corner as a huge icon
this person's not seeing that but let's go into twitter so you can take a look
at the video they sent me now satish lalwani sent me this video
and i think it's real helpful to give you an idea of
what odd bugs you can have so just watch as he sort of
changes the pages on his phone and as he removes them or adds them
he'll remove them and then all of a sudden in the upper left you've kind of
got the shrunk home screen then if he goes back it disappears and
then it stays small again so there's definitely a weird issue going on here
and i'm sure apple will fix it but again make sure you report that in feedback
now as far as battery goes let's talk about ios 13.6.1 battery first
because i went back through the poll the youtube community poll that had
well over 15 000 votes at this point and hundreds of comments so i went back
through took all of the battery comments that
talked about how good or bad it was and wanted to see if the battery life
held up over the past week now those that said it was better
actually went down slightly but not as much as you might think so
people who say it's bad are going to speak up a little bit more but only 32
percent of users of ios 13.6.1 said it was
worse than ios 13.6 so 68 of you said that ios 13.6.1 battery life
is better or the same as ios 13.6 now in general a lot of people were
coming from 13.5.1 or either way but they were saying that
it was better in general so that's a good sign
68 with all the different configurations i think it should be good
very minimal problems with 13.6.1 and i really don't expect apple to push
out maybe 13.6.2 maybe they will as they just stopped
signing 13.6 but ios 14 beta 5 is only a few weeks
away probably so maybe a few a few three to five weeks
away maybe so if apple pushes it out like
they did last year we may not see ios 13.6.2 because
they'll just move over to ios 14 since it supports all the same devices
so it's really hard to say what apple will do with that but maybe we'll see it
maybe we won't i don't think it makes sense to have
another update unless you have to since everything will support ios 14.
now as far as battery on ios 14 beta 5 well the
overall experience for me on this has actually been
a little bit better than beta 4 not tremendously better
my battery health in general is down to 96 which is completely normal we're
almost a year old at this point with this device so
another month or so it'll be about a year old and
that's pretty good eighty percent after two years is normal
batteries just degrade over time now over the last
10 days you can see the last i charged to was 65
that's because my phone was in the car but let's take a look at yesterday
because i got 4 hours and 50 minutes of screen
on time and 8 hours and 47 minutes of screen off
time now i used it as a personal hot spot which uses a lot of battery
so if we look at the day before i used almost 75 percent of my battery
and got five hours and three minutes and four hours and six minutes of screen off
time so i probably could get eight or nine
hours of screen on time if i use the full battery
10 to 12 is normal so it is getting better for me you can see previously
here's all the different battery life that i experienced
it just wasn't great on the previous beta it's getting better
so i would expect it to get better as apple buttons down all the different
problems with apps crashing and touch responsiveness
once those get optimized expect battery to be more optimized as well
and of course when the final release comes out i hope it's the same or better
than 13.6.1 now just like i do every week here are all the issues mentioned
based off the youtube community poll and freezing or lag seven of you said
that you had it this time 25 people out of hundreds of comments
said they had it last time so it's definitely improved for some now
here are all the devices you're using as well so there's quite a
bit of devices the most popular seemingly is the
iphone 11 which i think is pretty interesting now let's take a look at the
youtube community poll and see what you had to say
now at the time of recording this video you can see there are 7.9 k votes or
almost 8 000 votes and 196 comments now i've read every one
of these comments up to the recording of this video anyway
and that's where i got all of the data for earlier in this video
and as you can see 23 of you are saying that it's great
two percent are saying that it's terrible which is actually pretty low
14 are saying there's some bugs which is pretty expected for a beta so that's
actually not too bad and 47 percent of you haven't
updated yet so you're on ios 13.6.1 or older
and 14 are using android so again thanks again even though it's not relevant to
this video i just want to include that since a lot
of viewers actually use android as well now if you have a better suggestion for
what we could put for maybe the next poll i try to be consistent year to year
but if you have a different idea i'd love to hear from you in the comments
below now before we take a look at some of
these comments i took the battery information from the ios 13.6.1 poll
that has 18 000 votes and 521 comments based off that information there are
some good things to say about ios 13.6.1 and some people are having issues most
of the issues people were having are resolved and they should be this late in
the game but hopefully ios 14 beta 5 maybe we'll
have a couple more i'll talk about that in a minute
but hopefully ios 14 really resolves things when it comes out to the public
now after we take a look at the comments i'll talk about when to expect ios 14
beta 6. so let's go into the comments we'll read
some of them i don't want to read a ton of them but let's read some of them
we'll go newest first let's take a look at what antonio fernandez had to say
using it on the iphone 11 pro max most bugs have been fixed
battery life is good but i've still got some issues harpreet finn
said ios 14 beta 5 is running good on my iphone 8 plus no bugs to report the only
bug there is when i went into the message conversation
and then exited the screen it went black for a few seconds and then it went back
to normal but it's not a bug i'm not sure that
that isn't a bug it sounds like it is i would report that
kevin02167 said i updated and the wireless charging has started bugging
out and not working properly i'm on the 10s
max maybe try a hard reset it seemingly worked fine for me
so i definitely would reset it and try that again and hopefully it works
properly jeremy abalon said iphone 10r all good
until i discovered my widget menu and app library would overlap the home
screen always have to turn it off and on but so
far so good destiny tech cubing said iphone 7
everything is running great haven't seen any bugs yet battery has been better
than the previous betas for me overall great experience so far
elliot waddick said i'm experiencing absolutely no issues on my iphone 10s
max battery life has also greatly improved
since beta 4. lakshaya dwa says when you press the home button three
times for accessibility shortcuts your phone will crash
tried it on my iphone 7 and it did crash but not on my iphone or ipad 6. let's
try it that seems to work on this iphone 7. so
again there's some weird crashing bugs throughout this os
but thankfully it didn't happen there but again it could happen on yours based
on its configuration rising sun sailor said biggest issue i'm
having on my iphone 11 pro is i can no longer get a feed through
the digital av dongle through to my capture card worked fine
before the latest update and my ipad on ios 13 works just fine so i'm pretty
sure it's in this build or it's this build other than that only minor
issues jr khan said i'm using 11 pro max and
it's working really well for me clock and weather are all synced unlike
before it's more stable now compared to the last beta 4. performance and
speed are also great too can't wait for beta 6 overall experience is better
patrick fouria said iphone 11 user here it's quite good
widget's working correctly now and keyboard bug that i'm having
has been fixed had a respring earlier though when i was controlling my spotify
music through the lock screen other than that
it's been good so far we'll read a couple more
and jeremy mills said using it on the 11 pro max
beta 4 was terrible but it seems to be a little smoother with beta 5
still a few bugs but not as bad sean b said all the bugs fixed on my end
keyboard camera storage and airpods disconnecting on phone calls
winston ung said on my iphone 6s ios 14 beta 5 has been
working almost perfectly i haven't experienced any common bugs
yet and the clock and weather widget is always up to date
i always had this one issue with automation shortcuts
don't show the notification to activate it otherwise beta 5 is perfect
rajaf menon said running it on the iphone se first gen
simply swiping between home screens causes stuttering this wasn't an issue
with beta 4 hope apple fixes this in the next update
and then finally let's take a look jake lowe says
my camera bug was fixed performance is much better
battery life also less crashes need more work but a huge improvement on speed
so far so good so that's it for ios 14 beta 5 now if you're wondering if you
should install it hopefully those comments and things have
helped you decide whether or not you should
but based on that feedback if you're not on ios 14 betas already maybe i'd hold
off until ios 14 beta 6 but if you're already on ios 14 beta 4
then yes i would definitely install it also if you're wondering if you should
update to ios 13.6.1 i would say you definitely could do that
but in a few weeks you may get ios 14 as well when that's finally released to the
public now as far as ios 14 and beta 6 and
when that should be expected well i really expect that
probably as soon as this week based on what apple has done in the past we've
seen weekly updates after beta 5. and so
as you can see it's probably going to be around tuesday
if it keeps up with what it's been in the past so it was released on the 18th
this week expect it the 25th this coming week if
they go to a weekly schedule if not then september 1st but based off
information of early information that they accidentally
posted a scheduled youtube video on september 10th we could
see ios 14 as early as the end of september
like we normally do so again at that point i would expect
weekly updates from now on and then a final gm
or the final version before it's released to the public probably by beta
8 or that would be the gm so that's really what i'm expecting
although there's no guarantees and apple can change it at any time
now if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in
the description like i normally do and be sure to check back on monday for
the follow-up videos that i do with the previous week's news and all of the
different information about apple if you want to check that out
