Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.0.1 has been out for
a couple days at this point or maybe a few days by the time you're watching
this video and so i wanted to share my overall
experience on the iphone X that i have here
i also have ios 14.0.1 running on this iphone 11
as well as my 2020 ipad pro 12.9 now i'll also talk a little bit about
ios 14.2 beta 1 and when to expect maybe beta 2 or
additional versions of ios later in the video but i'm running 14.2
beta 1 on my iphone 11 pro max and so the first thing is the overall
experience with ios 14.0.1 is actually pretty good for the most
part as far as stability and bugs but there are a few issues that we've been
experiencing and i say we because this is actually my
daughter's iphone X and i'm running this on my iphone 11
and since this is her full-time phone i thought i'd share it with you as far as
battery life show you how it's doing and talk about
bugs that are going on and so the first thing is a couple weird
bugs that are happening and i'm seeing you mention some of these
in the comments as well and what i mean by that is it seems like
volume will randomly change when it's plugged into an audio source or
just using audio in general it may randomly change on its own
despite the volume not showing that change so the volume could go up or down
and it may not even adjust itself on the volume here so it's kind of an odd
problem that some people are having and then also siri is not working
sometimes when you say the word hey in front of it and so it seems to be
hit or miss at least on this iphone X. now if you
have sound recognition turned on that new feature that's in ios that
recognizes sounds like doorbells and things under
accessibility and then you go down if that's on
siri won't work that way anyway but if it's off
it still should work as long as you've got it turned on in your settings now
the overall experience other than what i already mentioned
things like the camera seem to be working just fine and
no matter what phone you're on it seems to be okay especially the iphone 7 where
initially it was a black screen they fixed that with ios 14.0.1
so most things are working well ios 14 had some bugs
they resolved a bunch of them with 14.0.1
however people are still having issues with that clock widget
so if you're using the clock widget i'm not actually using it but let's go ahead
and add it here so if we're using the clock widget if we
go down go to clock and maybe add this widget
oftentimes the time is just not keeping properly so
it's not showing up properly it's a little bit behind now you do have to set
it to the area you live you'll see by default it sort of sets it
to cupertino let's try that again you'll see it says
cupertino that's what it's going to set it to by default so if you go into here
and you edit it it's going to set it to that so you need
to set it to whatever city you live in for it to be in the right time zone but
it seems to lose time and that's because widgets update based
off when the developer sets it so it could update every 30 seconds
every minute and i think that's to save battery i'm trying to clarify that
but at this point it seems like that's an issue still for a lot of people
in fact a lot of people are having their widgets blink from time to time so maybe
they're blinking on the screen whether that be where you're setting
widgets or things like that and then other times just widgets
are acting a little funny but i think once apple releases maybe
another update this will be resolved hopefully it will
it's still not resolved on ios 14.2 either now some are saying that messages
are not working properly from time to time
such as voice to text just not working and i've seen that on ios 14.2
also but then also others are saying that the keyboard is lagging so
when you're typing something high how are you today
it seems to be working okay but sometimes it's not so
for some people depending on the device it even could be the 11 pro max or the
newer devices it's still lagging from time to time now others are
still having a couple wi-fi and bluetooth
issues so bluetooth more specifically with earbuds like airpods pro
and they just have issues with them disconnecting randomly
and then other than the issues there there's a couple people with mail still
having issues not being able to delete email
notifications are showing unread when the email has actually been read
so apple i think might have just given up on mail at this point i still have
issues on my iphone 11 pro max with mail most of the time it's okay but i even
see this on mac os as well so there's definitely some issues they need
to resolve with mail and hopefully we see that
fixed pretty soon i see so many complaints about that
and hopefully they fix it of course you can change your default email app now so
if you want to switch to something like spark or
spike or edison or outlook you can do that and set it as your default as long
as they've updated their app and then a few other people are having issues with
car play whether that be lagging or just not working properly altogether
carplay is not working properly for a lot of people and so that seems to be an
issue for a lot of people on this one now as far as ios 14.2 well ios 14.2 has
been mostly good for me i've had more issues
with bluetooth than anything else so for example a lot of people have
noticed my tesla app that's actually the key to my car and
when i get near the car it allows me to open it and unlock it
sometimes it just loses connectivity and i actually have to
turn off bluetooth turn it back on and then it will work again
i haven't seen this before on ios 14 just 14.2 betas
so i'm not exactly sure what that is and then i did a video earlier this week
talking about the experience i had on my ipad pro
where i actually downgraded it to 14.0.1 and the reason was this particular
update wouldn't allow me to charge it so i'd plug in
the lightning or the usbc connector rather and it wouldn't charge
the only way i could charge is with the pogo pins on the back
using the keyboard until i downgraded it so there was a weird bug with that
and a couple other people said they saw that as well so i'm sure that'll be
fixed in beta 2. so those are the bugs that the majority
of people if they're having bugs are having not everyone is having those
issues but quite a few are but let's talk about battery on ios
14.0.1 now this iphone X is used every day
charged at night on a wireless charger or plugged in and then used throughout
the day and not charged throughout the day now this
phone sometimes does need to go into low power mode to make it through the rest
of the day and that's generally what you would use low power mode for
is maybe you get toward the end of the day and you don't have the ability to
actually use your phone because it's too low or you need to save that battery so
you can turn on low power mode to make it until you can get to a charger
so this particular phone let's take a look the battery is at
the battery health is at 86 this is actually an iphone XS i misspoke
not an iphone X. so the battery's at 86 percent
after about two years so that's not bad and
the overall usage let's take a look at yesterday
was two hours and 53 minutes of screen on time seven hours and
27 minutes of screen off time with eighty percent battery usage
if we look at the day before it was a little bit better four hours and eleven
minutes of screen on time eight hours and fifty three minutes of
screen off time whether that's playing music
or something else again it was close to 80
usage so it's not great battery life and i'm seeing that on ios 14.2 also
but out of all the people that commented on the youtube community poll
57 said that they had good battery life or better with ios 14.0.1
43 of you said it was bad that's the closest i've seen it in a very long time
so there's definitely either apps whether that's widgets using battery i'm
trying to clarify some of that information
what ones use battery what ones don't if they use a ton of battery
and then also maybe some apps are using a lot of batteries so as you can see
some of these different apps depending on the day minecraft and things like
that so it can be a lot of different apps
causing that but ios 14 does not seem to still get the battery life that people
were getting with late versions of ios 13. now on my
iphone 11 pro max with ios 14.2 beta 1 if we go into the settings take a look
at the battery my health is at 95 after a year 80 after two years is
normal so yesterday i didn't use it a ton but
got decent battery life three hours and 56 minutes of screen on time at 3 hours
and 52 minutes of screen off time and i only used a quarter now this was
charged throughout the day so if we look at the previous day i used
fifty percent of my battery life and only got three hours and nine minutes of
screen on time so maybe seven hours of screen on time
normally i would get 10 to 12 with ios 13 with this particular version
and so twitter is using a lot more power than i would like and my
lock screen maybe i'm just looking at my phone more because of the widgets
it's hard to say but something's going on with ios 14 where it's definitely
using more power at this point hopefully they'll resolve
it with a future version and speaking of a future version i'm
hoping the apple releases a new update maybe in a couple weeks
but we still haven't seen ios 14.1 yet and maybe that will release with iphone
12 and some other people are saying we'll see ios 14.2 when iphone 12 pro
releases in a split release we're not really sure
at this point if that's how they're going to do it but we'll have to wait
and see and hopefully we'll see some sort of
maybe notification from apple when to expect ios 14.1
and that could be around the time of the iphone 12 event which is expected to be
sometime in early october so hopefully we know more about that
then but i wouldn't expect a public version
probably for at least a few more weeks and expect
ios 14.2 beta 2 probably this coming week
on tuesday or wednesday based on what they've done in the past
so i would look for it then now here are all the other issues mentioned based off
the youtube community poll now keep in mind people that are mentioning
battery may be saying it a few times so 153 mentions of battery
takes that into account where it could be mentioned by someone multiple times
also here's all the different devices that people are using based off the
community poll so all of you that participated i really
appreciate it let's go ahead and take a look at the youtube community poll
now at the time of this video you can see there are twelve thousand of you
that voted and i really appreciate everyone that
voted and you'll see fifty three percent are saying that ios 14.0.1 is great
four percent are saying it's terrible 22 percent are saying there's bugs
14 of you are on ios 14 and 7 of you are on ios 13.7 or older the ios
14 one i probably should have added an additional one for ios 14.2 but it was
too late by the time i posted the poll but 12 000 of you voted so if you voted
i really appreciate it and you'll see 396 of you commented
so let's take a look at some of the comments erwin says performance is okay
but battery life is not that good compared to ios 13.7 and i'm having
issues with airpods on ios 14.0.1 dave breyer says the battery life is
much worse with this update on my iphone 7. rossignon blazing says
my iphone 8 plus lags incredibly hard sometimes on ios 14.0.1
while some of you did say that it lagged it was half of the people
or half the amount of the people that said it lagged on ios 14. so it's
definitely seen some improvement there and hopefully it gets better over a few
days visual k says automation that involves serious
speech is still broken it has been broken since the ios 14 beta
7 is still not fixed in 14.0.1 i also faced issues with the autofocus
while using the camera today all of the sudden the camera fails to focus
and blurs out i'll then have to move the camera around to focused other subjects
and then focus back again and then it would work
also the widget stack i placed on my home screen would disappear unexpectedly
and the swiping between screens would bring it back there are many small bugs
like these that need to be ironed out otherwise the overall performance of the
phone is good and also getting decent battery life
critique says ios 14.0.1 is great on performance
and wi-fi disconnection fix but my phone heats up frequently and gets somewhat
better battery sometimes than 14 and then drains
quickly sometimes after 14.0.1 was never on the previous update even on
betas junior torres says i don't know what seems to be the problem
noticing frequent drop of airpods pro connection in iphone 11 pro max
both had the latest os fabian says iphone XS max here no
problem so far apart from flickering when choosing
widgets kim pham says it's great but i noticed one bug
with the series suggestions widget hazim says hi aaron
as soon as i updated my iphone 11 the bug where i couldn't search for apps and
spotlight search bar have disappeared and everything went back to normal other
than that it seems pretty stable salil abdul kayum says faced issues with
stacked widgets some of the apps were not opening up had
to restart the device to get it sorted also battery consumption is increased
even on the home screen device is iphone 8. i'll read a couple
more williams said iphone XR ios 14 had some bugs
initially app glitches etc ios 14.0.1 is okay but still having some bugs with
instagram and other apps that probably need updating
only one big bug still needs fixing and that is the clock widget it's not in
real time it can be up to one hour behind and gets
annoying so he just removed it until it's fixed and also you have to set the
time manually for the widgets it's always on cupertino for me and then
i have to edit the widget to get my time zone
a few other bugs here and there but overall a good update shiraz hazan says
can you please tell me how i can download 14.0.1 i'm using now 14.2 beta
i want to download 14.0.1 you actually have to use
the computer using either itunes or if you're on a mac you use finder
and then you downgrade that way there's no other way to do it without a computer
thomas vin gorkham says it's doing great on my iphone 10r
battery life seems to be improved so that's a nice touch
zb87 says battery life has spoiled it for me is expected to update to ios 14.
reason i bought the 11 pro max was to have amazing battery life i will not
settle for two to three hours less screen on from apple updates
i predicted the battery would have have a hit on battery life for ios 14 back in
2019 for people to say that battery life
doesn't matter or why stress so much look at all the comments mentions of
these battery life during the pull majority of
it is about battery and so for me on the battery personally
it's not a big deal to me because i have a charger nearby all the time but if you
don't it's going to be a big deal for you
but as far as overall battery life i still can make it through a day and just
put it on the charger at night so if it gets to the point where i can't do
that then yes it would definitely be a concern for me compared to what it is
now and so that's it for ios 14.0.1 and ios 14.2
beta 1. again look for ios 14.2 beta 2 hopefully on tuesday or wednesday if
apple continues to do what they normally do
and then again of course i'll do a news update on monday unless something else
is released as far as an update but let me know if there's
anything else you'd like to know about ios 14.0.1 in the comments below
