Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15.1.1 and ios 15.2 beta 3
have been out for a couple weeks at this point now this past week we didn't have an update
because it's thanksgiving in the united states and apple typically skips that week every year
and then we get an update the following week so i would expect one this coming week of course we'll
talk more about that in a little bit now the first thing is ios 15.1.1 and 15.2 beta 3 seem to have
some bugs however some are better than the others now i did want to talk about the youtube community
poll since there's 26 000 votes right now and over 450 comments at this point so we'll take a look at
some of those a little bit later but if you want to jump to any specific point in the video of
course i'll link the time codes or chapters in the description like i normally do now you can see i'm
using a little bit smaller phone if you've been watching my normal videos and that's because i'm
using an iphone 13 pro and the reason for that is i switched from my 13 pro max to the 13 pro
because i wanted to use 15.1.1 without downgrading the other since i want to see what the experience
was like and i was having some major issues with the beta now the major issue a lot of people are
talking about is auto brightness and before we talk about that while i'm outside there's
actually a lot of construction going on around me so you may hear some of those different noises
so hopefully they're not too much of a distraction but a lot of people are having issues with auto
brightness and one of the issues i was having specifically was with apps crashing and locking up
i had an issue with google's smart lock where it would just sort of lock up and i have that on my
iphone 11 and it doesn't work properly so not just that but apps such as twitter just were crashing
on me regularly google's smart lock that allows you to log into different accounts would crash
and critical apps to what i do every day and what i use every day and so unfortunately
along with that and the touch bugs i needed to switch back to 15.1.1 i was having other issues
where wi-fi disappeared completely on beta 3 and also issues where even if i hard rebooted
it would restore those wi-fi issues but there was an odd purple screen that happened as well
also another thing i continually hear not just on the beta but also the public version
is issues with storage so if we go into general and then we go to storage storage is showing up
as using a ton of different storage just like it is here on this phone for some reason
and it's taking a long time to load so there's all of these issues that are going on as well
as notifications not clearing properly for a lot of people specifically the notification summary
just doesn't clear so a lot of odd issues in ios 15.2 beta 3. and there's issues in 15.1.1 as well
on my iphone 13 pro when i switched the past few days every time i woke up i'd go into messages
if someone had messaged me a family member or something along the time of thanksgiving and it
would completely freeze it wouldn't work until i hard rebooted the phone this is on a public
version and i didn't restore a backup or anything recently it was just on a public version where it
stopped working properly so i've been having all of these odd bugs with ios and i talked about this
the other day where i think it's going to get a lot better since there's a bunch of stability
issues and apple is aware of that but they keep pushing features out as well such as digital id
we got share play a little bit late last year we had some delays and so i think this isn't going
to be the norm going forward i think apple's probably working on it to get things sorted out
and they do listen to feedback and try and figure out what's going on and prioritize that so i
definitely think we're going to get a little bit better experience but for those of you that are
on 15.1.1 it did seem to fix that cellular issue with phone calls and more so when placing a phone
call sometimes it would hang up i've made quite a few phone calls over the holidays with this
and it hasn't dropped on me once so apple did resolve that issue and also i've had no issues
with 5g switching on this phone so i have had that on the beta but it did seem to be resolved
with beta 3 but with 15.1.1 it seems to be okay as well for me playing music traveling and things
seem to work just fine so all of those things seem to be working much better but there are
still those issues again with messages which is a huge one for me where i had to reboot today
was the first day out of four days where i haven't had to do that and it seems to be working okay so
something was causing that lockup or for or for it to freeze up unusually now as far as the overall
experience that you've said most of you have said similar things the bugs that i covered touch bugs
everything from apps crashing such as twitter and more you've had those issues and some people are
saying battery life is great others are saying that it's not as far as battery life on this
particular update like i said i've been using it a few days and i have a hundred percent battery life
and if we take a look at my battery life over the past few days you'll see that's when i started
using it yesterday i used 75 percent of my battery had four hours and 35 minutes of screen on time
six hours and 24 minutes of screen off time so i've used it quite a bit but i went to bed
and had about 20 percent left i saw the low power warning or the low battery warning and after four
hours and 35 minutes that's what i had depending on the day it's varied greatly so the day before i
had three hours and 15 minutes of screen on time 9 hours and 16 minutes of screen off time so i would
say i'm getting about six to seven hours of screen on time with the public version on the 13 pro
it varies greatly of course depending on which device you're using but with the betas on the 13
pro max i was getting 10 to 12 hours sometimes 13 hours it just depended on what what was going on
now as far as the ipad goes i've been using the beta on the ipad for the past couple of weeks
i told you initially last week that i had issues with the smart keyboard stop where it just stopped
working i haven't really had too many issues other than battery life in general and i've heard this
from some of you as well where battery life just seems to not be what it was with these updates
so you'll see yesterday i used it 46 minutes i'm down to 33 percent after using about four hours
of screen on time this is not great battery life and i would really like to see apple change this
or fix this since this is obviously a problem for many of us but the overall experience on ipad is
okay but battery life is not great now i haven't had any issues with heat or any problems with that
the phone has not been getting warm although it is fairly cold outside right now you can
see it's 43 degrees fahrenheit and it was colder than that when i started the video
and so i wouldn't really expect too many issues there but even in the car or inside i haven't
had it getting too warm with either version you can see i have back tap on where it turned on the
flashlight so i didn't realize i had that set but all of these things seem to be okay as far
as performance on this phone i haven't had issues with heat and also i wanted to talk about whether
or not you should install the betas i get that question a lot should i install the beta to try
and fix issues with battery life or anything like that and i never recommend anyone install the beta
if you're trying to solve an issue with battery life or bugs because betas inherently have issues
they generally want you to report those issues in feedback and then they'll try and resolve those
with the next updates and the public releases so i typically wouldn't recommend installing the beta
i would still wait for the final version now as far as ios 15.2 when to expect its release and the
next beta update i would expect a new update as soon as tuesday maybe the 30th we could see it on
a monday but that's usually unlikely but tuesday the 30th or december 1st typically we'll have an
update and i would expect that update maybe to be the release candidate and the reason i say that
is apple typically takes the last few weeks in december off for the holidays around christmas
time and generally with that we won't see a release anytime in that time frame and then we'll
see something new in the beginning of the year so based off of last year and the years before
i would expect a final release probably within two weeks from now so expect a release this week for
a release candidate maybe beta 4 but that seems unlikely at this point now as far as any other
betas of course 15.3 betas will come after that maybe we'll have some small releases with 15.1
before then i doubt that but 15.2.1 and small updates may be released sometime around that point
so expect all of those things within the next couple weeks now when it comes to the youtube
community poll 26 000 of you have voted so far in the past couple of weeks so i really appreciate
that and 461 of you have left comments or there's 461 comments total and 14 of you are on ios 15.2
beta 3. 53 of you are on the public version of ios 15.1.1 25 of you either don't have an iphone 12 or
13 model so you would be on 15.1 or older 5 of you are on 14.8.1 or older and 3 are on 13.7 or older
now let's take a look at some of the comments so we'll take a look at some of the new ones
since i read some of them before and julius says i changed a bigger reminder widget to my home screen
and all the apps that were on this on the spot on that spot disappeared even from the app library
on iphone 11 on ios 15.1 daniel says on ios 15.2 beta 3 battery life is horrible on iphone se 2020.
i underscore 93 says i'm on ios 15.1 on my iphone 10r the worst ios update ever said that apple
didn't push 15.2 to all their devices waiting for the stable version adrian bordoy says 15.1.1 on 13
pro getting a lot of touch issues in settings and on youtube lauren says since the update to 15.1
the music widget stopped working as before prior to the update when you tapped on a previous played
album or playlist the music widget would take you back to that album or playlist now when you tap on
an album the widget just opens music without going to the selection in the widget i have a 12 pro max
dennis says everything has been working well except for some voice recognition problems that's
on my iphone 12 pro max connection problems seem to be non-existent battery life seems to be okay
yogesh patil says i'm using an iphone se2 and i haven't received 15.1.1 in my current version my
text speaking function changes voice in male to female or female to male sometimes sometimes a
voice makes makes it lag and ios 15.1.1 actually is only available to ios or iphone 12 and 13
models for some reason so it was specific to an issue where phone calls would drop so they only
released it to those devices harry says since the update to 15 also 15.1 my battery drain on my ipad
pro 12.9 2021 version 14 was fine up to six hours web and image editing now i'm getting four hours
down to 25 percent vince says when i first got the iphone 13 pro max the battery is very good
but after updating to 15.1.1 the battery got worse benjamin says using ios 15.1.1 on an iphone 13 pro
max and it seems to be great so far still having issues with the banking apps but seems to be fixed
with 5g connect or 5g connections my home kit is going crazy all my lights and appliances keep
turning on and off on their own i had to delete arrive home going out scenes to fix it and what
he's talking about or he or she is talking about is in home you can set up automations
two different things as you arrive home or when you leave and apparently it has some sort of bug
thankfully i haven't experienced that myself but i don't use automations too often but i've
heard a few odd issues with homekit brandon says ios 15.1.1 is horrible in my iphone 13 pro max
the battery drains a little quicker not too much and it seems like i've got more bugs than before
i hope they fix it in 15.2 and so with all of these different updates and different comments
quite a few people are experiencing similar things such as that touch bug or auto brightness issues
and more so i hope apple gets all of this right with 15.2 i'm hopeful that they will
and i think 15 will get better and ios 16 should be a lot better hopefully it'll be a
stability update with a small refresh maybe things like the control center and more but
let me know what you want to see most in ios 15 updates maybe 15.3 new features and more
and do you want to see a redesign with ios 16 i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
