Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15.3 beta 2 and ios 15.2.1 have been out for a few days
both of them released on the exact same day which is pretty rare and i'm running ios 15.3 beta 2
on my 13 pro max and 15.2.1 on the 12 pro max now i've been using these myself but also want
to share your experience based off the youtube community poll where we have over 10 000 votes
and 259 comments i've taken my experience and combine them with all the information that you've
left in the comments to give you a better idea of the overall stability of both of these updates as
well as any remaining bugs issues and whether or not you should install this update based on that
and battery life and more now with ios 14 it looks like we'll no longer have that option to upgrade
to newer versions of it if you are on ios 14 or earlier versions you could go to your settings
then general then software update and apple would give you the option to update to ios 14.8.1
from an earlier version you no longer have that option since ios 15.2 and according to
nine to five mac it looks like we're not going to get this option any longer so apple did say
that they would provide security updates and more so you could stay on previous versions
but it looks like they're no longer doing that and instead backtracked on that and they're
pushing ios 15 updates and probably working on ios 16. so maybe they just don't have the
amount of workers to get that updated regularly so either way it's no longer a thing and that's
a bit unfortunate now also with iphone 13 devices many people have been messaging me and we've been
talking about the issue with the option for noise cancellation when on a phone call the option just
isn't there so if you go into your settings and then you go under accessibility so we'll go back
here on the 13 pro max under accessibility then you go down to where it says audio slash visual
on the 12 promax and any other device recently you have phone phone noise cancellation you don't have
that on the 13 series devices and apple supposedly was going to add this with a software update but
now it looks like based off support documents and a few different articles out there that they've
just said they're not going to update it all together and it's not a feature of the iphone 13.
now whether or not they just have implemented something else and not given us the option
or maybe there was a part supply issue or something else we're not going to have the
option on the newer phones for some reason so prior to this it says noise cancellation
reduces ambient noise on phone calls when you are holding the receiver to your ear so you had the
option to turn that on or off that's no longer an option sadly so apparently this isn't going
to be fixed we've talked about it a bit in the past and it's something that they've apparently
aren't going to fix or maybe they are and the article's wrong but it looks like it's not going
to be something we're going to get now as far as overall stability of ios 15.2.1 for most people
it seems to be pretty good most people are seeing this however there are quite a few people who are
saying that you have random freezing and lockups so whether or not you're scrolling through an app
you go into music or you go into a different app it would lock up and freeze and that could be on
older devices as well and most people that have that issue if you reboot it fixes that issue so
there is an issue with that what's causing it we don't really know but it seems to be an issue for
a lot of people but again it's resolved just by rebooting also carplay seems to be fixed for most
people but it seems to be very dependent on what car you're using so i had someone message me that
has a ford and they said it's working fine in the comments there they said it's working fine google
maps is working again for most people with the touch input but some people are still experiencing
issues so i'd be curious to know what car you have if it's not working whether it's a honda or toyota
or bmw or something along those lines with carplay and what the experience is because they do have to
sort of control that and implement it so it could be some cross compatibility issues performance
wise though most people are saying the 15.2.1 is working just fine there really isn't any issues
and here's an iphone 10 which seems to be working fine with it as well no real issues it's smooth
and in general pretty good and for battery life people are experiencing
decent battery life but it's only been a few days so sometimes that can improve initially you'll
have pretty poor battery life and you can see here's from a user cameron that sent this in he
had seven hours and 58 minutes of screen on time one hour and 53 minutes of screen off time and
used about 80 percent of his battery or 75 of his battery that means if he kept using this
he might get 10 or 11 hours of screen on time so it's not amazing but it's okay if we go back
another day you'll see the debut day after the update came out it was a little bit worse so
it will progress and get better as the days go on but again it should improve it really shouldn't
be much different than 15.2 and most people are saying it's the same cellular connectivity is fine
for most people it's basically going to be the same as 15.2 as i didn't see any modem updates
but the beta did have modem updates again bluetooth and wi-fi are saying that it's good and
one person did say they're having network issues but they didn't specify what version they're on
or what device they're using or anything else so i'm not exactly sure what's happening there but
there are some people saying that but there are a couple bugs people are having and that has to do
with notifications reminders and alarms i've had some people say they've missed alarms altogether
also people saying that notifications when they come in are not making any noise and other people
are saying that maybe their reminders are not reminding them so there's some odd issue with that
now whether or not they have do not disturb turned on with a focus mode that would affect that
it's hard to say but they are saying that they have those issues so there are still some bugs
in 15.2.1 so 15.3 seems to be much better for most people and performance wise 15.3 seems to be
pretty flawless it's super smooth when scrolling no issues on promotion or anything like that and
i've i've been pretty happy with it so far so when you're scrolling this is the app library
it seems to be nice and smooth no issues there and performance in general is pretty good so
there hasn't been any complaints with performance on it and cellular connectivity is fixed for me
compared to the previous version so with the previous version i had issues switching between
5g and 5g uc and then back to lte and wi-fi it's fine now it's actually working just like it should
finally so it's working much better on the latest version now something that's affecting all the
devices is the storage bug most people are saying that they're seeing odd storage bugs still we know
about this at this point where the iphone storage either doesn't load at all it shows the wrong
amount of storage or it's just using excessive amounts of storage right now it's looking okay
for me but if i go to the bottom sometimes the storage for system data just never loads so there
are some odd bugs here why this hasn't been ironed out i'm not sure but it's not really a priority in
the sense that it's affecting the usability of the phone so maybe they're working on that a little
bit later and trying to get more important things like cellular connectivity to work properly first
also there's that music bug this is something i'm a bit surprised that they haven't fixed yet when
you're streaming your favorite song or whatever you're listening to and it's not downloaded it can
use a ton of battery it ramps up the cpu and then in turn uses battery however i haven't noticed too
much of that with this beta and the phone hasn't gotten warm meaning that the cpu is being used
quite a bit so it's been nice and cool for both of these versions and i wouldn't really
be too concerned as it stays nice and cool for most the majority of people say the same thing so
most people are having a very good experience on 15.3 beta 2 with the exception of maybe battery
life battery is okay and i'll share with you my battery life and then someone else's so if we go
to battery my battery health is at 100 at this time and the last 10 days yesterday i had two
hours and 10 minutes of screen on time 12 hours and four minutes of screen off time and i was
playing music throughout the night with headphones in the next day or today two hours and six minutes
six hours and 17 minutes of screen off time and i haven't even used a quarter of the battery yet
so it really depends on the day again the day after the update was pretty good 3 hours and 42
minutes of screen on time 8 hours and 37 minutes of screen off time and i used about 30 percent of
the battery that's what i would expect from this device so it's really hit or miss it seems to vary
greatly depending on the day it doesn't make a lot of sense but it seems to be a little bit
better on the ipad it also seems to be better so on the ipad i've been using my 12.9 inch ipad pro
and if we go to battery life here battery does seem to be improved this time around
not great but over the past few days i've noticed that i've charged it less so i charged it
on friday to 100 percent and i've used it a couple hours and i'm down to 63 percent now
the one thing i'm not sure about is the screen off time it keeps showing 12 hours and five minutes
of screen off time i wasn't using anything with the screen off so i'm not sure what that's about
and there's definitely something still being used in the background however i noticed that
i have to charge it less in the last three days everything else about ipad os has been super
smooth and no issues though so that's a good sign i think 15.3 will iron out a lot of those bugs
whether it's on your iphone 11 or your iphone 10 or any of those devices it seems to be much much
better so 15.3 seems to be where it's going to be much better for most people abhishek sent in his
battery life from an 11 pro max on beta 3 as well and he's having a similar experience so you'll see
today or yesterday he had five hours and seven minutes of screen on time at 24 minutes of screen
off time and used about 50 percent of his battery so that's pretty good the day before he used a
little bit more than 50 percent but only had four hours and 52 minutes so about 10 hours of screen
on time which is pretty good for a beta so it looks like it's doing well for him now as far as
when to expect the next version of ios 15.3 well based on what we had last year i would expect a
release candidate this coming week or beta 3. apple last year released a release candidate
and then a final version after only two betas before the end of the month so this coming week
on monday or tuesday or wednesday well if they're going to do what they did this past week i would
expect it on wednesday maybe we'll see beta 3 or a release candidate but i think it's going to be
closer to a release candidate maybe not though as they are planning to release that digital id
apple digital id in select airports around the united states and start testing that and they
said they'd do that in february i mentioned that in the what's new video and so i expect something
along those lines pretty soon so maybe before the end of the year we'll have or the end of the month
rather we'll have that and then maybe a release in early february it's going to be either at the
end or early february i think at this point and then we'll move on to ios 15.4 betas and then of
course june is what i'm looking forward to most where we have wwdc and then apple shows off ios
16 and whatever's new in that there's some rumors saying that it's going to have some big redesigns
i really hope so but it's a little bit too early to tell now as far as whether or not you should
install ios 15.2.1 i would say absolutely at this point since it's basically the same as 15.2 with
a couple bug fixes and security updates however as far as 15.3 beta 2 if you have a beta device
already then definitely update to it however if you're on the public version i typically
don't recommend installing maybe a beta to your device unless you have a backup and a computer
that you can roll back if you have any issues so typically it's stable enough it seems to use but
just be caution that there can be problems and as long as you don't mind submitting feedback and
giving apple feedback on bugs that you can expect i would probably stay off of that version for now
until maybe the release candidate now as far as the youtube community pulling comments let's take
a look at some of the comments but at the time of this video let me refresh here there's been
over ten thousand votes and you can see sixty five percent of you are already on ios fifteen
point two point one eleven percent of you are on the beta fifteen point three beta two thirteen
percent of you haven't updated at all since fifteen point two are older three percent of you
are using ios 14.8.1 and eight percent are using android so again thanks to everyone that voted
and commented so let's take a look at some of the comments maybe five or ten of them benjamin says
i'm using ios 15.2.1 on an iphone 13 pro max i'm still having touch issues when charging my phone
basically it is impossible to use the phone while charging that sounds like something else going on
whether it be a screen protector you're using nothing with charging should affect that so i
would maybe try a different screen protector if you're using that or just try a different charging
adapter i haven't ever heard of that issue before so definitely try something different though as
that's not a common issue it's the first time i've heard of it alpha bravo says ios 15.2.1
on my iphone 7 plus battery life is pretty much the same as on 15.1 carplay still doesn't work
and i've noticed that my reminders that i've set aren't going off come on apple what happened to
the reliability of ios will says 15.2.1 seems better on my iphone 12 pro max with battery
initially getting 8 hours compared to 6.5 with 15.2 but its early days 15 to 15.2 got worse with
time matt said beta 2 amazing in everything except the battery life the connectivity is the best it's
been since ios 14. just dave said i've had 15.3 beta 2 on my iphone 13 pro max since release
the bug i had where my iphone would respring when haptic pressing to clear notifications seem to be
fixed so far i live in canada and turned private relay back on i have yet to receive a notification
it is not supported as i did on beta 1. hopefully the issue has been resolved the roblox doj hq says
i've been using ios 15.2.1 on my iphone 11 and it seems to be relatively the same as ios 15.2
in terms of battery life performance and stability mark b said i'm using the latest 12.9 ipad pro
with ipad os 15.2.1 everything seems fine but my ipad keeps overheating and i need to turn it
off for 30 minutes 15.2.1 on my iphone 11 pro max is fine besides the battery drain
first of all you can't really overheat the device it's actually going to regulate itself
it may get hot but if it's hot to the point where you can't touch it then it might be too
hot otherwise it might just be from you playing playing a game that's processor intensive so i
really wouldn't worry about that maybe try a hard reboot but typically it's going to get warm either
if you're fast charging it or maybe playing an intensive game ios 15.2.1 app library search
keyboard doesn't show up immediately i've noticed some odd bugs in previous versions where you would
go to the app library and tap to sort of search and it would just go back to the home screen
so it looks like they've had a few odd issues with it from time to time but it does seem to
be a little bit better and at least it's popping up now lorenzo said ios 15.2.1 has been a very
interesting update for me i'm using the iphone 11 64 gigabyte model i've been having issues
with the storage bug that constantly notifies me that my storage is full which it isn't the
freestyle libre 2 application is broken and won't read the sensor which i use for my type 2 diabetes
that's an important note and hopefully they update that app very soon for those of you that use it
also most apps crashed and had to re-sign into after updating to 15.2.1 battery life is much
better than 15.2 though so again this is an interesting thing that if you're using that app
for your diabetes to measure blood sugar i would be careful updating as it seems to have not worked
although they could have already updated the app vincenzo says i got a bug on ios 15.2.1
when i ask siri how much battery is in my airpods 2 she responds with two symbols of percent sign
i mean she says 50 percent cameron says using iphone 13 pro max on 15.2.1 today battery seems
to be great so far it's smoother and seems snappier than 15.2 for me thank you for the
amazing content thank you hayden says i'm on ios 15.2.1 on my iphone 12. it's running great for me
shivraj roy says much much better than 15.2 on iphone 7. and so that's everything with ios 15.3
beta 2 and 15.2.1 i'm looking forward to that release candidate or final version of ios 15.3
where i think they'll fix a lot of issues and of course ios 16 should add quite a few new
features i hope they're going to come out with a new control panel and more but we'll have to
wait and see it's only a few months away time's flying so hopefully we'll see that in a few months
and maybe some new products before then let me know what you're most excited for in the
