Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.5 beta 2 has been out for a few days and i've talked
about a lot of its features but there's even more new features that i'm going to cover in a moment
as well as the overall experience and what it's like to use i've been using it primarily on my
iphone 12 pro max as well as the iphone 11 iphone 6s plus and also full time on my ipad
pro 12.9 from 2020. so the first thing is let's talk about some of the features that are in this
particular update that i didn't cover before now i did mention one thing is that you can update
over cellular but this is specific to a region it seems specifically India at this point all
over the world a lot of people want this feature but in India particularly a lot of people have
been complaining about it and apple has made it available generally they don't do this at
the request of carriers such as a t that doesn't want a million people updating and using their
data and network at the same time with that much data i hope they fix this in the future but it's
something that they haven't yet now there's a couple things i missed in music specifically
that they changed as well so i showed you a couple of the different pop-up menus and things like that
and within the pop-up menu you can see it says delete from library this was not highlighted
red before and just said remove so now it's highlighted kind of gives you a little bit of
an extra caution there not to delete it if that's not what you want to do so that's something that
they've done as well and then also once you download an album for example you'll see we're
downloading this one we'll give it just a moment to finish downloading it'll continue to download
here give it just a moment once it's done it will now give us a new icon not only a check here
but also a little mark next to each song that lets us know that it's downloaded as well so that's
been updated as well just a couple nice little touches and a lot of new things within music
so not only is 14.5 looking to have a lot of little changes and sort of refinements in it
but also with being able to unlock your phone using a mask with face id and an apple watch
those things are really great and i think we're going to see a lot more with 14.5
as time goes on now another feature has to do with game center now i'm not seeing this specifically
on mine apparently people have been saying there's a new splash screen the first time you open a game
that uses game center i wasn't able to reproduce this i tried it on a couple different devices
with different games i hadn't installed before and i hadn't used game center before
with beta 2 it didn't pop up for me so let me know if you're seeing that in the comments below
now with the ipad there's a slight change as well and that has to do with when you boot up
the ipad logo or the apple logo on the ipad works properly when you're using a magic keyboard with
beta 1 but with beta 2 it will show up in the proper orientation based on how the ipad is
oriented when you turn it on before you had to have the magic keyboard attached now you
can do it just by booting it up so if i go ahead and restart it here we'll go ahead and do this
we'll restart we'll go ahead and turn it back on
see if it'll turn back on right away there we go and you'll see that it's in the correct
orientation now so it's a nice little change that they've made with this particular update
and another small change with the ipad has to do with apple pencil on this version so if you go
into settings and then you maybe go down to your pencil settings here we'll go to apple pencil
and you've got scribble scribble now works with different languages as well so if you're using
scribble for example to use handwriting it will now work with additional languages such as German,
Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese so those have all been added to scribble here so it's nice
that they keep updating that hopefully they'll continue to update this in the future now let's go
ahead and take a look at the overall performance of this update because it's been pretty good for
me in general the lag is gone it's been working okay it's been stable so when you go into an
app and close out i haven't experienced any lag whatsoever the lag i had before is completely gone
so that's a good sign so performance is much better it seems very smooth to me and i'm seeing
equal amounts of the same reports on older devices as well so whether that be the iphone
6s plus that i have here in general the lag seems to be fixed now this may not be a hundred percent
someone may still have this issue but in general it seems to be resolved so that's a good sign
now as far as any other issues i've had i haven't had any crashes or anything like that
but quite a few of you have had issues as well so i wanted to talk about that so the first thing is
green tint now i showed you that green tint is fixed somewhat with beta 2 mostly when you're
booting up and things like that but there's still some appearances of it and somehow i missed it in
the notes but the notes even says that i ios and ipad os 14.5 include an optimization to reduce the
appearance of a dim glow that might appear at a reduced brightness level with black backgrounds so
apple has recognized it and said that they fixed it they just haven't called it a green tin i'm
sure they'll continue to work on it in the future though also the flashing or hdr sort of brightness
not working properly seems to be resolved for most users as well now we're only on the second beta
so we could see more of these resolved in the future but right now that's where we're at with
this now there are some issues still in this for example so one of them is siri is not working
properly if you have whatsapp so some people have said it just won't work if you're using whatsapp
i don't think i have it installed now but if you're using whatsapp siri won't work properly
also some people have reported random shutoffs and crashes with their phones so maybe they're in
anything from the camera for example and it just crashes and there you saw the lag so that's the
first time i saw any lag whatsoever with the camera and now it's not doing it when i was
swiping it away also quite a few people are saying they have bluetooth connection issues
so a lot of people were saying bluetooth is not working properly for them whether that be
air pods or their car i did have some issues with my car and attaching it i haven't had issues with
air pods but quite a few people are saying they're seeing disconnects and mostly the issues are
with swapping between different devices from your iphone to your ipad using the automatic switching
it doesn't seem to be working properly some other people are saying they have stuttering
when scrolling and have it freeze up i haven't seen that at all in this beta but some people have
seen that whether that be scrolling in settings or somewhere else also that magsafe charging
animation just isn't there so that's something that most of us are aware of at this point and
unfortunately it's not here but i'm sure they'll bring it back a few people are having weird face
id issues and one person liam said that he had ios 14.5 beta 2 and watch os 7.4 beta 2
and he installed it on both of those had his airpods in and then put his phone in his pocket
locked then went to connect his airpods to his watch and it unlocked the phone without him doing
anything since rebooting it hasn't happened again but it was a weird bug so i advised him to report
that in feedback so it seems to be an odd one but something is definitely a security concern
if it happens over and over but in general most people report decent performance whether that
be on the iphone 11 for example or the iphone 12 pro max most things seem pretty smooth not
always not a hundred percent but it's much better than beta 1 and quite a few people say it's the
best beta today as far as ios 14. now let's talk about battery a little bit we'll go to settings
go down to battery battery health on my 12 pro max is still at 100 this is from the day it came
out so it's doing pretty well let's go to the last 10 days and let's take a look at the past couple
days so there's a couple that are good a couple that are not good so yesterday one hour and 42
minutes of screen on time one hour and 53 minutes of screen off time and i used almost 50 percent
of my battery so that's pretty terrible however i only had 50 percent left by the time i went to bed
so it's kind of strange that that's happening if i go back the day before we used a little
over 50 but i had three hours and 44 minutes of screen on time four hours and six minutes
of screen off time so this is really hard to understand what's going on as far as battery life
but for me it seems to be okay in that i have fifty percent of my battery left when i go to bed
but what the screen on time is telling me just doesn't seem to match up to what i'm experiencing
that could be me but that's what it seems like however i continue to experience poor battery life
on my ipad pro for example some people suggested like i said before removing the apple pencil
seeing if that helped i tried it for a day it made no difference whatsoever but i thought i'd
try it out and then if we go to battery here and you can see it was charged yesterday to 80 percent
at 8 37 pm and then now we're down to 36 percent i used it a little bit today i used it for 51
minutes yesterday and 2 hours and 17 minutes today i'm only getting about three to four four
hours of screen on time for about sixty percent of the battery give or take so it's not great
battery life i haven't had any other bugs on the ipad whatsoever just battery life has been poor
and actually the smoothness on the ipad is incredibly fast it has the nice pro motion
display which hopefully we'll see in the next iphone with iphone 13 but in general it just seems
nice and fast no issues with anything whatsoever other than youtube's own app having a couple odd
issues but i haven't had any issues with anything else on that ipad now as far as when to expect ios
14.5 beta 3 well we could be on a two-week cycle still which would mean we won't see it until march
or we could be on a one-week cycle we won't know that until about monday or tuesday so
we could see it as soon as the 23rd or 22nd or as late as march 2nd or so sometime around
there so we don't really know yet and i've been talking about ios 14.4.1 when to expect that and
generally when apple stops signing a previous version of ios we'll have some sort of release
within two weeks however that hasn't happened this time so that's changed since ios 13 so maybe we
won't see one since they're fixing the green tint issue in ios 14.5 so it's really hard to say what
apple is doing with their release schedule with ios 14.4 they only release two betas so
maybe we'll have a couple betas maybe we'll have seven betas we don't really know at this point
apple has sort of gone into something they haven't done before and it's quite random
now let's go ahead and take a look at the youtube community poll so we'll go into youtube
here and this is pretty incredible since it's only been well a day ago or so so you'll see a day ago
i pushed this poll out and we have 27 000 votes at the time of this video with over 250 comments 255
comments at this time and you'll see seventeen percent of you said that it was great three
percent said that it was terrible six percent said okay but some bugs 62 percent of you have not
updated yet so you're on ios 14.4 or older and 11 are using android i didn't specify the version but
if you're a developer android 12 is now out as a developer preview as well so i may cover that
in the future but generally quite a few of you are usually about 11 are using android which i
think it's interesting that it's consistent so we'll go ahead and sort this by newest first
and take a look at a few of these so yuri chandler says great on my 11 pro on my ipad air third gen
it has random resprings simking marone said still on my iphone se 2020 whenever i play call of duty
sometimes my screen freezes up and it takes a while for me to turn it off and can you
please share my comment now if it's freezing up that could be that it's just getting really hot
but you'll get an overheat warning if that's the case otherwise it just may be a bug whether that
be the app or not i'm not sure which version you're on brayden davis says it's been pretty
good for me on my iphone 12. my banking app still doesn't work and every every now and then
i'll have some sort of glitch but nothing major the green tin issue has also been fixed finally
dan zimmerelli says face id is hit or miss on my iphone 12 pro with this update mel harris says no
problems with my mini and 10r very smooth and fast battery life is good on both ipad pro battery life
seems to be much better used for about three hours last night and battery dropped around 25
before it would have been down almost 40 percent jury says ios 14.5 beta 2 iphone 12 pro so far so
good it runs much smoother than the first beta battery is probably slightly worse if i quickly
switch back and forth between the app library and the home screen the widgets disappear i did forget
to mention that a few people said that as well sharon hopefully i'm saying that properly hi erin
hope you're doing well been using ios 14.5 beta on my iphone 10 not sure if this is a software issue
i have been facing an issue with frequent call drops but overall experience has been good on my
iphone 10 and ipad pro 11 inch from 2018. michael king says so far iphone 12 pro max and iphone 11
pro max is working fine battery seems good and now on the 2020 12.9 inch ipad pro is working
fine with one exception the battery is not that good it seems better but not what it should be
i've used it hard since i'm in houston and everyone knows what's going on here i hope
you're doing okay by the way and also so it is on the iphone and ipad at times is the only way
i can get online so that was the way i've tested 14.5 beta 2. it is much better than beta 1 and
i'm happy with it other than the battery life on the ipad pro justin says it's been pretty stable
on my iphone 10r battery is held up well with a little drain on standby but other than that
everything is smooth and fast only major bug is a lock screen glitch where i could swipe up at i
couldn't swipe it up at all to get it the bar was gone and i had to restart my phone to get it back
and so that's it for ios 14.5 beta 2 hopefully we see a public release fairly soon and i'm looking
forward to another beta as well let me know if you found any other features in the comments below
