Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15 beta 4 has been out for a couple weeks almost at
this point and i wanted to go over the good and the bad i've been using it on my main device my
iphone 12 pro max for that amount of time and thought we'd talk about what it's like since we
have a better understanding now the first thing is new features one person halide which is an
app developer found that the flare issue that people were having with the iphone 12 series
is now gone with beta 4 where it can remove it using ai so that's something that they found that
we haven't seen before so apple is removing that flare that so many people were complaining about
and that's a great thing you can also set up account recovery so if you you forget
your password in ios 15 you can then send that information to someone else you can find this
by going to settings then we'll go to your name then under password and security go under that
and then you'll see account recovery you can set up a recovery account here so tap on that and if
you forget your password you can set this up so that you can get it somewhere else and recover
your account should you forget that information so that's nice that was discovered in ios 15.
it's been around for a little while but i haven't mentioned it in other videos now another thing
that's been pretty controversial is csam or future ios 15 versions allowing for scanning of photos
and messages to help better protect children and i've read quite a bit of information about this
and you can see that on apple's website under safari and in safari if you go to that website
i'll link it in the description you can see exactly what they're doing how it's going to work
and no they're not scanning on an individual basis but rather using some pretty clever workarounds to
keep everything private now this is questionable in the future as to what could be done later on
but right now it's to protect children and i would go in and read about this first and see what you
think and then there's even more information at the bottom about exactly how it works it's quite
technical under the technical summary i read the entire thing it's quite technical and quite clever
as well but again the concern for me is more in the future rather than right now but i would
advise you to read this let me know what you think and if you'd like to see me maybe do a video about
it i'd love to hear from you in the comments below now another thing i want to talk about is a leak
of air power by giulio zompeti this is something we had been looking forward to for years that
apple canceled and it looks like there's at least a prototype sitting around so that's really nice
i wish someday they'll release it maybe they will but it looks like it's never going to happen
now as far as the overall good about ios 15 beta 4 there's quite a bit good about it in general
it's fairly stable i haven't had any crashes that doesn't mean nobody had any crashes but
i haven't had any crashes with the exception of some apps so in general it's working okay widgets
are working okay for me and the overall usability is fine there are occasional graphical glitches
and a lot of the glitches and notification errors and things like that that i was having are now
fixed because i had to reset my settings so if i go into settings i went to general then i went all
the way down to transfer and reset iphone and then i reset my settings i did not wipe the phone i
reset it that seemed to fix a lot of the issues i was having that was there before that is no longer
there so this is a great thing it fixed many of the major issues i was having with the beta
overall so i'm glad to see that's been resolved now i wouldn't recommend that to everyone because
it changes everything it wipes all of your settings for everything including networks wi-fi
bluetooth everything so you have to kind of start over but all of your apps will be in place and it
seemed to fix quite a few things now performance overall has been pretty good for most people
most report that it's fixed the issues they had before whether that be with scrolling
or just general performance overall in geekbench scores it seems to be much better and they've
fixed that with this particular beta but there is a lot that still needs to be fixed in this update
so some resprings are being reported by people still banking apps are still crashing when i
was trying to show you the airpower thing just a moment ago twitter kept crashing the
first time i would open it that seems to be a regular reoccurring thing and also apple
music seems to be skipping for a lot of people still and there continues to be bluetooth issues
wi-fi issues and just spotlight search issues in general so a lot of strange things still going
on but it is a fairly middle of the road beta at this point and i think we'll see a new one pretty
soon and i'll talk about that in a moment but as far as the bluetooth issues that seems to be
a continued issue even on ios 14.7.1 so if you're connecting via bluetooth there's definitely some
issues going on as far as that goes now there's some other issues that are going on with ipad
as well so let me talk about that now with the ipad i've been having some issues with the screen
overall having some touch responsiveness issues when i'm tapping on different things i've also had
email overlap itself i had to reboot to fix that issue and others are saying that music is just
cutting out the speakers are not working properly sometimes and the music will cut out in general
so there's continued issues but i would say the ipad seems to be a little bit more stable overall
so those are all the major bad things about this update my battery life on the ipad continues to be
mediocre at best i would say probably five or six hours of screen on time if we look at yesterday i
had three hours and one minutes of screen on time and 11 hours and 17 minutes of screen off time and
i charged it a couple days ago but today i only used it for seven minutes so we're talking about
four hours of screen on time and i have 19 minutes of battery or 19 battery left in the ipad so it
should be getting 10 maybe i'll reset the settings on here as well and hopefully that resolves it
now like i said some people are continuing to have wi-fi issues now i don't know if it's with
specific routers as we don't have any information on that but there does seem to be an issue with
that and people continue to say that their phone is getting overly hot or warm so maybe some
background processes are going on i noticed when i reboot my phone before i reset my settings it got
really warm all of the time so i'd reboot and it was very very hot now it's okay but it was
having that issue before also people continue to have issues with green tint as well so that's a
continued growing issue that seems to be going on and apple fixed it last year with the iphone
11 pro and 11 pro max in about mid to late august with a public release so maybe we'll see that but
i haven't had that issue on my 12 series devices but there's quite a few people who have so it's
definitely a concern for a lot of people as far as overall battery life well let's go back here
we'll go into my battery life and battery health this is my main device i'm now down to 96 percent
and we're almost a year into having this device 90 or so after a year and 80 percent after two
years is completely normal with regular charging i charge this using magsafe every single night
and when it's in my car it's wireless charging as well so that's pretty typical of how i've
charged every phone and this battery is holding up about the same as my 11 pro max did as well
after about a year so it's typical use and the updates don't cause this to go down it
just re-measures it so we're seeing this go down about at normal rate at least for me
now my overall battery life if we go to the last 10 days you'll see was probably not too great
yesterday looks okay but i had it on the charger a lot so if we go a couple days out i had 4 hours
and 24 minutes of screen on time 3 hours and 12 minutes of screen off time and used about 40
percent of my battery life and now that's giving me eight to ten hours of screen on time since i
reset the phone so resetting those settings if we go the days before that prior to resetting it
you'll see i had similar usage time or battery percentage usage but i only used the phone for
about two hours and had the same amount of battery drain so that resetting of all the settings
definitely seemed to help with this update so it's great to see this this seems to have restored my
battery life and again i'll probably do that on the ipad as well now as far as when to expect ios
15 beta 5 i would expect that monday or tuesday at this point two weeks would be tuesday the 10th
and so it seems likely that we would have it on the 10th or 11th sometime around that point where
we'll have a developer release with a public beta the same day or the next day based on how they've
been doing this so that seems very likely this coming week and i can't wait to see what it has
i would expect some new features some refinements and of course bug fixes as well and as soon as
that's out i'll be sure to let you know now let's take a look at the youtube community poll and some
of the comments so i let the poll run for a couple of weeks on youtube and it has 39 000 votes which
is incredible so this is including both both ios 14.7.1 and ios 15 beta 4 and we have 592 comments
now before i did this video i went through quite a few of the comments anything that was new over the
past week that i didn't read before so i wanted to make sure we're having the same sorts of issues
that i mentioned earlier as far as good and bad so let's take a look at some of the comments so
you can see 53 percent of you are still on the public version of ios 14.7.1 and only 26 percent
of you are using beta 4. 12 of you are on older versions and two percent of you are on ios 12 or
older than that and seven percent are on android so again thank you for voting if you've done that
i always appreciate this feedback and i think it's great to be able to share this with everyone now
let's take a look at some of the comments usman says i'm using beta 4 developer version and
suddenly face id is not working is it a problem getting because of software or my device i haven't
heard of this as far as the software causing it so i would check the device maybe reboot it see
if it resolves it but i haven't heard of that unless you reset all of your settings then you
may have to set it up again oswin says running ios 15 beta 4 on iphone 10r very smooth but
safari feels sluggish especially on input typing other than that all good i forgot to mention
that quite a few people say that safari is very slow when scrolling so if we go back into safari
sometimes people are having very slow scrolling or stutters throughout but so far it seems to be okay
for me but quite a few people are reporting this alexander says ios 15 public beta 4 works well
battery life is excellent i'm getting used to the url bar on the bottom of safari i'm still not
really used to that but problems are fixed there ryan says ios 15 beta 4 on iphone 8 plus beta 4
has been running pretty good for me much smoother performance compared to beta 3 still having
some random crashes with safari notes and twitter the battery life also seems to be slightly
improved from beta 3. ashley says i have iphone 12 pro max graphite and seems to be working great
on ios 15 public beta 4. m gerald vanneau says using iphone 11 with ios 15 beta 4 battery life
is decent especially for a beta have had a few random app crashes and a bit of overheating with
a few apps running longer than usual overall runs great manikandin sakar says i'm using
ios 15 beta 4 on my iphone 6s apps are getting crashed sometimes when opening it first time
ultramet says ios 15 beta 4 still glitchy and battery life is still down with beta 4 it will
get there in due time richmond says running ios 15 beta 4 on my iphone 11 it seems to have
glitch accessories not supported for my wired lightning earphones and anker fast charger
betcha rhody azaki says i'm on ios 15 beta 4 battery is going down fast i had one crash when
i tried to use manual dns on wi-fi settings it crashes and goes to the home screen and
so that's everything with ios 15 beta 4 the good and the bad let me know your overall experience
in the comments below and what device you're using i'd love to hear from you there as well
