hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
ios 15.5 rc has been out for the past
few days i've been using it full time on
my iphone 13 pro max and also my ipad
pro i wanted to share the overall
experience like i do every week on these
weekly apple ios updates and also wanted
to share your opinion based off the
youtube community poll or at the time of
this video there's almost 7 000 votes
and almost 100 comments i've read all of
the comments to get the best
understanding of what ios 15.5 is like
and 15.5 rc or release candidate means
that this will be the final version
released to the public if there's not
additional issues so we'll talk about
bugs battery life performance and i did
want to mention a new feature or change
that seems a bit odd now ios 15.5 is
basically a few features such as apple
pay cash apple podcast settings and bug
fixes and a few developer updates as
well such as the ps5 controller trigger
update so they can implement those into
games however this update has an odd
settings under settings and if you tap
into your icloud account so if you tap
your name go into icloud you'll see here
if we scroll down there's setup and
sleep lock screen now this is something
that doesn't seem to belong there but
could be new features or something they
forgot to take out of the release
candidate so this is something i'm
seeing on the release candidate ones
with no icon there and it doesn't make
sense but it's something that i'm seeing
i'm also seeing duplicates here so
you'll see where we have messages if we
scroll up we have messages at the top
those shouldn't be there and that should
be fixed so there's definitely still
some bugs meaning this could lead to an
ios 15.5 rc2 earlier this coming week if
they don't release it we'll talk more
about that in a little bit so we have
those duplicates here i'm not sure if
the settings or the setup is a feature
or something else but hopefully they
resolve this maybe with a final version
with a different build number we'll have
to wait and see
now this past week we also got airpods
updates to version 4e71 i did a separate
video about that and you can update that
pretty simply i talked about that in a
separate video but the update's now
available and once you install it you'll
have better connectivity in general so
most people have better connectivity
some people have better noise cancelling
and audio quality overall and it's
definitely worth updating if you haven't
already also we had air tags updates and
those have been rolling out over the
past few weeks however if you have your
air tag nearby it should have already
updated to version 1.0.301
so that's now showing in find my for me
it took a while but it finally updated
and you can see here for my backpack air
tag that i have right here it's on
version firmware
1.0.301 so it finally updated
unfortunately there's no quick way to
get them to update now as far as the
overall experience the experience has
been pretty good with the exception of
the first day i had touch locking up on
me and it seemed to be an issue so i
would just maybe go into an app and then
it would completely freeze or i'd go
into settings and i couldn't scroll i'd
have to close out of those apps go back
in and then it would finally work again
so that's something i had that was a bit
odd it doesn't seem to have happened
since but it was the first day i also
had issues with apple music and cellular
data the first day but it looks like
that got resolved from an apple music
outage that was going on so there seemed
to be a problem with icloud again apple
has since resolved that and it seems to
be working again but you'll see i have
5g with 5g uc it seems to be working
fine so that was an issue earlier on it
seems to have been resolved over the
past few days however i did have someone
say that magsafe wallets were not being
recognized for some reason so that seems
to have been resolved now but
it seems to be working pretty well
according to most of you but i did have
those odd issues however as far as
additional bugs i have had people
mention issues with car play so that's
still an issue and there's still that
issue if you have spotify down in the
bottom or a third-party app that's music
down in the dock you reinstall the music
app it will take the place of it right
here that's still a bug in this update
so i can demonstrate that here but it
deletes all of my apple music but if i
have that maybe on my iphone 11 so on my
iphone 11 you can see i have spotify in
the bottom right maybe we go to
reinstall the music app we'll tap on
reinstall here give it just a moment as
i'm on the wireless connection from my
iphone using it as a hotspot you'll see
it's already taken the place of it in
the bottom right in the dock it's taking
the place of spotify and it's changed a
little bit so that's something they've
done in this update that needs to be
fixed and it's definitely a problem now
apple has actually acknowledged it but
they haven't fixed it with 15.5
and so as far as that goes there's not a
whole lot of bugs that people are
mentioning but there's a few small
things here and there most people say
performance and battery life is great
and everything is working well for most
people that's a good sign but there are
still those bugs that i mentioned and
you can duplicate those on your own
device
performance on older devices is also
quite good so if you're concerned maybe
you have an iphone 6s 6s plus iphone 7
or an 8 plus like this one it's working
fine there's no issues with scrolling
going into apps or going into anything
else it's just nice and fast all the
time i'm offline here so you won't see
that in music but if we open the camera
you'll see it's nice and fast to open
snaps a photo quickly and there's not
really any issues with it so performance
is great as far as battery life if we go
into settings go down to battery my
battery health is at 100 percent i put
this on the charger every night it's
never really an issue for me and it's
seemingly lasting much better than the
previous versions and also there's a
plane flying overhead very close so it's
part of filming outside i suppose if we
take a look at the battery life from the
past couple of days yesterday i had two
hours and 39 minutes of screen on time
four hours and 48 minutes of screen off
time the day before that i had three
hours and 55 minutes of screen on time
four hours and seven minutes of screen
off time and you can see recently
deleted apps is missing the icon here
now too so there's definitely some odd
bugs here and there but it's getting me
to about 50 usage by the end of the day
not great but it's better for most
people i think i need to reinstall the
os overall on this phone just so many
betas stacked on top of one another
seemed to pose a problem now as far as
someone else's battery life they sent it
to me on instagram this is for an 11 pro
max from abhishek you can see had four
hours and 15 minutes of screen on time
one hour and 31 minutes of screen off
time
used about 55 of its battery so it's
doing pretty well for most people most
are not complaining about it in the
comments so we'll look at that in just a
moment
now as far as my ipad battery life
that's a different story still as far as
my ipad goes i charged it a little bit
before this video and you can see here
that over the last 10 days yesterday i
only had two hours and 18 minutes of
screen on time with one hour and 10
minutes of screen off time again it's
getting me five or six hours of screed
on time so it's not great but i haven't
had any issues with ipad os at all now i
did run benchmarks on these devices and
they're scoring pretty well
1730 for single core
4748 for multi-core that's on my iphone
13 pro max based on the history that's
right where it should be so it's working
fine again like i said no performance
issues and you see that on older devices
as well so on the iphone 8 plus that's
on the right we have 907 for single core
2 311 for multi-core on the iphone 11 1
323 for single core
3345 for multi-core so overall
performance is pretty good as far as
when to expect ios 15.5 releasing to the
public we can expect that as soon as
this coming monday or tuesday now apple
does need to address those bugs i've
already mentioned so we could see a
couple different scenarios we could see
an rc2 or release candidate 2 or they
could skip that and just do a different
build number with ios 15.5 public
release we won't know that until they
release them but we've seen those
scenarios happen in the past then maybe
if they need to address future security
updates and bug fixes we'll have an ios
15.5.1
but also i would expect this coming week
or early next week is ios 15.6 betas so
that's what we see with apple all the
time we'll keep seeing ios 15 betas all
the way until september when we have the
release of ios 16. so if they keep with
what they've done for many many years
that's what we'll see of course many
people will care much more about ios 16
beta 1 that we'll see on june 6th so
we'll have ios 16 beta 1 with ios 15
betas all the way up until september now
as far as additional things i wanted to
mention apple looks to be switching away
from lightning at some point to usbc
this is to adhere to some rules that
they have to for the european union and
it makes sense with data transfers when
you're using apple pro raw so if you're
using pro raw or prores video you need
to get those huge files off your phone
and it's much easier to do with a faster
usbc cable than it is with lightning or
airdrop so that makes sense maybe we'll
see it as soon as iphone 13 but it's
looking to be more of an iphone 14
release so we'll probably see it then
now let's take a look at the youtube
community poll and some of your comments
and at the time of this video like i
said there's almost 7 000 votes and
you'll see 17 of you are using the
release candidate or the final version
right now 72 percent of you are waiting
and are on 15.4.1 or older one percent
are on 14.8.1 or older
one percent are also on 13.7 or older
and 8 are using android now let's go
ahead and take a look at some of the
comments i have my ipad below here evan
coleman said i'm running ios 15.5 rc on
my iphone 13 mini there seems to be a
bit of battery drain after installing
the update and quite a few of you have
said that i don't really read enough
negative comments and this time around
there just wasn't that many negative
comments to read so that's a great thing
i think it's doing fine based off what
you've had to say anyway francesca perry
said running ios 15.5 rc on my iphone 13
pro max iphone 7 plus and iphone 6s and
as expected all three devices are
running perfectly smooth and stable no
lag or stutters and animations or ui
airpods max connect instantly to my
iphones system data storage is down to
under four gigabytes and most people are
saying the same thing it still can be
above 10 gigabytes depending on what
it's doing but for the most part system
storage seems better
also and apps open and close just fine
and battery life has been great on all
three devices even on the iphone 6s i
also have the ios 15.5 rc installed on
my ipad 8th gen and ipad 5th gen and
thankfully it has made the battery life
on my ipads better than 15.4.1
when playing games on my ipad 8th gen
the battery would go down to under 90
percent in under 40 minutes but now i
get a full hour of use without going
below 90 percent love the videos aaron
hope you see this
comment hope you have a great week and a
great weekend thanks i hope you do too
and thanks to everyone that's commented
and of course with all of those devices
having good battery life that's a pretty
good sign based off what francesca said
here david b said i think there's going
to be an rc2 car play for me anyway is a
bit clunky and cut out completely and
couldn't reconnect and i see this over
and over probably since ios 14 at this
point it just seems to be an issue with
car play
giannis zervas said i'm on ios 15.5 rc
since its release on my iphone 12. as
you already mentioned in your video it's
not a major update but mostly a bug fix
update based on my geekbench scores
performance is a little lower but that
doesn't tell the whole story in real
life use as far as battery life goes i
have to say i'm impressed i've managed
to get eight hours of screen on time on
the first full charge after installing
ios 15.5 rc which is great for a device
that's two years old with 87 battery
health that's all enjoy your content
every time and thank you and i think
like you said it's doing well for most
people so i think you're going to see
the same trend here jamie said this is
the first 15.5 beta release that i've
installed on my iphone 11 and in less
than 48 hours the battery life has
improved compared with 15.4.1
and seven other people actually gave it
a thumbs up also so i think this is a
good sign it's doing much better for
most people of course there's always
going to be bugs as no software is
perfect and if you're wondering if you
should install it well definitely when
it releases to the public or if you're
on a previous beta i would recommend
installing it at this point it's as good
as ios 15 has ever gotten and i
definitely recommend it now if you found
anything else i didn't mention i'd love
to hear from you in the comments below
