Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 4 has been out a little
while to developers and public beta testers
and so i wanted to talk about more new features that i didn't cover in my
initial video now quite a few of you sent me videos or
sent me photos of things that you were having
either issues with or new features you found so thanks to everyone that sent
those along i'm just going to cover the new features
right now and the first thing is 4k youtube videos if you weren't aware
ios 14 supports vp9 it's a codec that youtube uses and
of course many of you have had this with previous betas but it finally showed up
for me and so you'll see that i have it here on
my iphone 11 pro max it may vary on device to device but you
should be able to do up to 2160p or 4k in hdr
so it's great to have that feature now a viewer subash pointed out that if you
put this in landscape and pull down the control
center the volume sliders are now taking up the full height of the display
so in this landscape orientation you can
see volume and display brightness are now
full size widgets instead of just sort of being a smaller area
so it's something you'll see only in landscape though so you have to be in a
video then pull down that way you'll be able to see it that way now if
you use the apple store app there's actually a hidden easter egg so go into
the apple store app wait for it to load go to search and
type in 10 years and it will pop up some
balloons celebrating 10 years of the apple store so you can
sort of interact with them move them around and it's just celebrating that
10-year anniversary now there's another change with widgets
on the home screen so if you press and hold to edit the widget
and then you go to edit you'll see it looks a little bit different than we had
with beta 3. so i'll do the same on my iphone
10r that's running beta3 and you'll see it just looks a little
bit different so it's a little bit larger has more room
and they've changed some of the colors and things as well also they've made it
better correlate with the background so it's a little bit nicer that way
now they've also changed the flag color within email so if we go into an email
now within email if you swipe over and maybe you want to flag the email you'll
see that it's now red they keep changing this color and i'm
not sure what they'll settle on finally but
that's what it currently is also we go into this email
and then we flag it maybe we'll flag it as green
and then we go back and we go to flag you'll see that it's now green so i'm
not sure there's a default color i think it's based on what you actually set
now within music they've made a few changes as well so if we go into the
music app i have beta 3 on the left beta 4 on the
right again you'll see at the top the add button has been updated so it's
changed again similar to what we have with the play
and shuffle buttons but now it's a gray background
with reddish text with a plus and then the word add
if we add this we'll hit add we'll give it just a moment it'll
download here now once it's downloaded you'll see up
here that there's a check mark instead of the word
downloaded next to a check mark so beta 4 updates it a little bit
and cleans it up of course apple could change this again at any time now once
you're in music and playing it you have an option for
infinity or basically what this means is it will continue playing after the song
ends so maybe you only picked one song and
you want to continue playing songs like it afterward tap on the
infinity symbol now this has been here for
a couple betas but i didn't point it out in previous ones and this was actually
sent over by a viewer named i'm not sure i'm
going to say this right but cylinder cool i'm not sure if i said
that so i apologize if i didn't say it right but he sent that over
and said that this symbol was there i hadn't seen it before so it's something
that's new also some people are getting a new
splash screen when they go to actually share an album or share any of these
different songs so i'm not seeing that it just brings up my
share sheet but when some people share it it brings up a new little splash
screen now there's also a couple new splash screens the first time you go
into different applications and the first one has to do with reminders
the first time you go into reminders it gives you a new splash screen that says
what's new in reminders assign reminders smart suggestions and lots more
so that's one that's new and then also there's a new splash screen for notes
and when you open it for the first time it might take a moment it pops up and
says welcome to notes add almost anything
note to self or with anyone and then also it says sketch your
thoughts now i had quite a few problems with this and other people told me they
had this issue as well and the first person to point this out
was dxclan tweets that there was a new splash screen
i went into notes like i normally do and i couldn't hit continue because my
keyboard kept popping up now if this happens to you go into your
multitasking close the app try it over again
hit continue it works for me no problem so it just depends on the device i had a
lot of issues with my 11 pro max with that now there's an additional pop-up
when deleting an app i didn't see this before i saw a slight change before i'll
show you if i go over to let's say youtube and we press and hold
to delete it and then we tap on remove app
you'll see on the old one it says remove from home screen on the new
new one that says move to library i showed that before
but if i tap delete app on the newer version it says are you sure you want to
delete it or basically deleting this app will also delete its data so i want to
cancel that if i hit delete on beta 3 it will just
delete the app right away so that's a little bit of a change and
newer now there's a couple small changes in the news app
prod by legend sent one of them over and the first one is if we go into
news we'll wait for it to load here and at the top you'll see we now have
two buttons one says audio catch up on the news and
listen to apple news plus stories on the go
and then the one to the right says local news and it says now in new york houston
los angeles and the bay area we knew this
was coming but now they have dedicated sections at the top and then
as you scroll down you'll get your audio briefing now as well so that's showing
up in news now the final change was sent
over by noah messer so i appreciate everyone that sent those over
and it has to do with on the lock screen when you go to swipe up so if we
turn off the phone turn them back on wait for it to wake up
and at the bottom you'll see it says swipe to open it's slightly smaller
on beta 4. so i'm not sure you can see that there but it's
ever so slightly smaller so those are all the changes i missed in the initial
video with ios 14 beta 4 and of course there's probably small
changes throughout with fonts and things like that apple will continually change
and tweak this to get it right by the time it launches sometime in late
september or october now look for beta 5 either this week or
based on previous releases probably it's going to be on a two-week cycle
until after beta 5. so we may not see anything
this coming week it may be another week but you never know what apple's going to
do but based on what they've done in the past it'll be another week until we see
beta 5. but if you found anything else or
anything else you'd like to share let me know in the comments below
