Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.2.1 and 14.3 beta 2 have been out for a
little while i haven't done a follow-up on them so i thought i'd do a follow-up going over the
experience of them and also talk about when to expect iOS 14.2, 14.2.2 and the release of 14.3 so
i'll talk about all of that a little bit later but i first want to talk about the overall experience
now the first thing is if you're using ios 14.2.1 or maybe you're not seeing that update there's
going to be a reason for that and generally that's because 14.2.1 was specific to the
iphone 12 series so this is the iphone 12 pro max that i have it running on here and it fixed three
different major issues and had some security updates but the major issue it fixed was with
the iphone 12 mini with touch responsiveness lag on the home screen it fixed a couple other
things as well but that was the major issue that it fixed so that along with a an issue with mms
messages not being received as well as the iphone hearing device is not working properly with the 12
series so it fixed all of those things and that's working fine on iphone 12. now one issue that a
lot of people are complaining about with ios 14.2 is that they're having some lag with the keyboard
and generally people typing have lag with the keyboard with messages and it seems like it's
fixed in 14.2.1 so why apple only pushed it to the iphone 12 and not to older devices is hard to say
but i think we'll see an update to hopefully fix some of those issues here
soon in the future now as far as anything else in that update well 14.2.1 seems pretty solid
battery life is pretty solid so i'll talk about the battery life here and then talk about 14.3
but battery life on this device has been pretty good it easily gets me through a day no problem
and it's kind of hit or miss so you'll see i only got about two hours or one hour and 55 minutes
of screen on time one hour and four minutes of screen off time and used about a quarter
of the battery that was yesterday depending on the day it varies greatly but the odd thing is
is i'm not sure these numbers are correct and the reason i say that is i can easily
get through about a day and a half with the 12 pro max right now so i'm not really seeing this
screen on time maybe it's accurate and i just i'm not using it that much but it seems kind
of odd that i have phenomenal battery life i'll go to go to bed put it on the charger at about
60 and then i'll have it charged in the morning again so it's kind of odd i'm not sure if they
need to fix something in the background with that but right now battery life seems fine despite what
the numbers say here now also with 14.3 beta 2 well that's pretty good for most people i
think this is the update that will really make ios 14 very stable it's pretty stable already
it has a few little bugs like the keyboard issue as well as system crashes for some those were the
two major issues i saw on the youtube community poll based off what people were saying with 14.2
those that are running 14.3 beta 2 are not seeing any issues and are saying performance is great
so while it's an early beta it's not perfect it seems to be okay so if we go into things like
music you can see how fast it loaded if we go into weather for example they're opening equally
fast on the iphone 6s plus and the iphone 12 pro if we go into the app store for example
they're both loading for the first time in this update we'll give it a moment and you'll see it
was fairly fast on both again we'll go into the cameras takes a second to load and actually the 6s
plus was faster there so performance wise it seems to be really decent other than that i haven't
really seen a whole lot of people say there's bugs with 14.3 and that's a great sign so that means
once it's out to the public it will be very stable i think for most with the iphone 7 for example
many people are saying similar things if they're on 14.2 it might be getting warm it might lag
but once they're on 14.3 betas they seem to be okay speed seems fine opening different apps are
fine and i know some people will say this is an iphone 8 this is an iphone 7 in jet black so if
you look up that one you'll see it but a lot of people think it's an iphone 8 but it's actually
a 7. it's an aluminum back instead of glass so we'll go home here and go into settings
you'll see everything seems to be smooth and again on the beta it seems to be okay
now as far as the ipad this is where i've been using this primarily with 14.3 or ipad os 14.3
beta 2. so i haven't had any crashes in fact i've had great everything overall except battery life
so you'll see in the upper right i have 33 percent battery life if i go into my battery here
we'll wait for it to load and you'll see i last charged it to 100 percent on tuesday that was
three or four days ago now and you'll see i've used it i haven't used it a ton this week i've
been playing around with the m1 max but if i go to screen on time usually about an hour or so a day
and if we go back to tuesday it charged and then i used it three minutes so that is not great battery
life i would say that i'm getting about six hours if i was to use it continuously just watching
youtube and you'll see the lock screen is using a lot so i need to turn off some notifications there
that seems to be using the most power but youtube is what i use with it most in photos and things
like that but again crashes stability performance and everything is really great it's just battery
life but it's a beta so i don't really expect great battery life so when will the next update be
well i think we'll see ios 14.3 beta 3 this coming week currently at least at the time of recording
this this is sort of the week of and weekend of thanksgiving so i don't expect anything there but
i do expect an update the following week maybe on tuesday or so that's generally when apple releases
them however they've been releasing them sometimes late in the day who knows we could even see one
during the weekend at this point it's been kind of crazy right now but hopefully it'll be fairly
standardized a little bit later now as far as ios 14.2.2 well depending on what apple decides
we could see a public release with some minor bug fixes to every device hopefully soon again i
would expect that this coming week or the first week of december really is when we see updates
after the holidays in the united states so that's really what i'm looking for as far as
public releases although i do expect apple to release ios 14.3 sometime in december
with that apple pro raw update for the iphone 12 pro series so i'm thinking that release will be
then maybe we'll see a minor update this coming week as well if we don't see it i would expect
them just to wait to 14.3 at this point but again apple has been so random at this point it's really
hard to determine exactly what they're doing now other than that let's take a look at the youtube
community poll and see what you had to say so we'll go into youtube you can see ram management
was good this has been sitting in the background for an hour or so before filming this video
so at the time of this video you'll see there's 12 000 votes and this was a little bit difficult to
do the poll because you only get five options so you can see i said ios 14.3 beta 2 great or not so
great and then again 14.2.1 great and not so great so 14.2.1 is mostly great and 14.3 beta2 is decent
again and a lot of people are over 50 are using 14.2 itself so let me go ahead and sort these
and you'll see a lot of people are commenting with 14.2 so the first one from cynical teddy
says 14.2 on an iphone 11 pro max battery life is better than 14 imessage still has an annoying lag
before text input shows up and a new bug with 14.2 is that notifications for imessages come and go
and is very irritating surprised apple has taken this long to fix the notification bugs that
multiple people all over reddit have complained about and that's the last thing i meant to mention
is there's those three things messages some random crashes and keyboard lag gabriel says 12 mini on
14.2.1 bit of animation stuttering when opening apps but otherwise can't complain stanley says
he's still on ios 13.6.1 with an iphone 8 still worrying about battery life on 14 i don't know if
i'm being paranoid though once ios 14.3 comes out i would update in fact 13.7 was better than 13.6.1
and many people said 14.1 was better than 13.7 so i really wouldn't worry about that really really
good battery life on 14.3 iphone 7 plus battery at 99 i get 6 hours or 6 and a half hours of screen
on time nicholas says i'm on ios 14.3 beta 2 on iphone 11 pro and battery life has been amazing
russell says working smooth as butter on my iphone 10r no hiccups stable battery life just that the
auto light in dark mode wasn't switching properly a couple of times that's actually based on when
it's daylight and night out so based on sunset it actually switches so depending on when that
is throughout the day generally it will flip at that time chris roberto says ios 14.2 so far it's
running great on all of my devices iphone se 2 and iphone 7 but battery life still needs improvement
we'll read a couple more there's hundreds of comments so i appreciate it 14.2 sometimes
it runs smooth sometimes it feels very laggy on the iphone 8 plus pulkit says using ios 14.2 on
iphone 10r the battery life seems to be resuming to normal seven to eight hours of screen on time
no bugs or slowdowns everything is fine except imessage in siri i'm using iphone 7 ios 14.3
beta 2. auto says still having the keyboard lag and now the imessage notification bug is back
and so that's it for ios 14.3 beta 2 and ios 14.2.1 like i said earlier hopefully we see ios
14.3 beta 3 this coming week in a few days from now and also ios 14.2.2 would be great to see if
apple wants to skip that and jump right to a final version of ios 14.3 i think many would welcome it
as long as they've had time to actually make sure it's really solid
and i think we're going to see more and more of that very soon if you'd like to get your hands
on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like i normally do and if you
