Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15 has been out for almost a week at this point
along with ios 15.1 that released a couple days later and this has been
a week of incredible software updates and product releases i don't think i remember
a more busy week where apple pushed so much out at one time so at the beginning of the week or on
sunday into monday they released new cases for the upcoming iphones that were to release that friday
then they released ios 15 along with watch os 8 ipad os 15 tv os 15 home pod os 15 and then
they released beta 1 versions of almost every single one of those same things
a mac os monterey update to a new beta and then later in the week released iphone 13 13
mini 13 pro and 13 pro max that i have here along with ipad the 9th generation ipad and ipad mini
all of those things in a single week along with the accessories and more i don't think i've seen
another week in many many years where they push so much at once so hopefully they have something
more exciting next month last year they spread this out over more of a few months period of time
we had two iphones and then two more iphones and watch and ipads and things like that all scattered
throughout with the ipads and watch first then the iphones then another set of iphones then also
max later on so maybe we'll see something we're not expecting i'm hoping for that but
right now it's just been crazy with the amount of things they're pushing out
and during that time i've been using all of the ios 15 and 15.1 betas so i want to talk about the
overall experience and talk about your experience and everything that we're experiencing based off
the youtube community poll you can see here at the time of this video there's 46 000 votes and 846
comments about the overall experience on ios 15 and 15.1 betas so there's a lot of information so
all of the information i'll talk about as far as how this is going is based off information here in
the comments so thank you if you commented we'll look at some of those comments a little bit later
now if you picked up a new iphone 13 series device there were some initial issues right away
some people were having issues with apple music not working and apple said check for a software
update after you transferred i showed in my iphone unboxings that after you set up your phone maybe
transfer things to it if you go to hear updates you would have a new software update and apple
patched some problems they had with apple music not working properly and not syncing properly
also there were issues with widgets not working according to apple so they were saying that the
widgets might revert back to a different location so you'll see here's my location it would revert
to say cupertino for example where you would have to go back press on it edit the widget
and then set it for your current location or wherever you'd like to see it this was
a bug that they were having initially in those iphones so it's been a week of a lot of bugs
and some different experiences depending on what device you're having now ios 15 definitely has
some issues in it so i'll talk about that a little bit and then talk about ios 15.1
i ran ios 15 betas for the entire series of betas and the release candidate and the final version
on my iphone 12 pro max it was pretty stable but definitely had some bugs apple needed to
push that out and this is typically what happens every year they'll push out the update and then
there'll be a bunch of other updates coming a little bit later within the next few weeks
and there's definitely some bugs remaining some of those bugs have to do with a storage bug which
we've already seen on here if i go to settings you'll see here's my storage and my storage went
down dramatically because i turned off icloud photo library to switch over to the 13 pro max
just so when you take photos they don't sync between devices so i can tell the difference
more easily but as you can see i'm using more data than that and this is already reporting
incorrectly it's saying i'm using two gigabytes of 256. however i can save 38 gigabytes i also
have telegram using 10 gigabytes so i definitely am using more than two gigabytes so there's odd
storage bugs in ios 15 and even 15.1 they haven't fixed that yet and if you're on the beta make
sure to report those in feedback as feedback will definitely help but i did run the regular version
on the 12 pro max for a little while other people are saying that there's touch responsive issues
i've noticed this in 15.1 as well there's touch responsive issues where i'd go into youtube
tap on youtube tap on a video and it just wouldn't work it wouldn't open i can try over and over so
on my channel you can see this was a comparison i did of all the phones that were available at early
2021. if you tap on it sometimes it just wouldn't do anything i could tap over and over and over and
it just wouldn't do anything i could close the app out start over again and sometimes it would
work i still have that issue in 15.1 there's other touch responsiveness issues that people are having
also some have had their phones reboot randomly on ios 15. people have had that happen apps crash
apps freezing multitask switching lagging so when you go into multitasking whether you're
swiping away something or just going into it it would lag overall i haven't had that issue but
quite a few people have also widgets still seem to be having issues where they're just going blank
so that's an issue and then car play continues to be an issue as well a lot of people said the
betas were fine but then carplay just didn't work right when they did the public release so there's
definitely some odd issues now as far as ios 15.1 bugs there's definitely some issues there it is
much more stable according to most people as well in that youtube community poll but other than the
touch issue i i mentioned before there's been another issue for me with notifications so if
i go into my photos i took a screenshot and you can see here i have some overlapping notifications
other people are not getting notifications pushed from email and there's just some odd play odd
issues in general from notifications and just push information with notifications in email and more
so there's definitely issues not only in ios 15 but 15.1 however 15.1 seems to be much more stable
according to most people not only that but battery life seems to be better so let me show you the
battery life between 15 and 15.1 and i'll give you my initial battery impressions on the 13 pro max
here in a moment but if we go to my settings and we'll go back to battery on my 12 pro max battery
health is now at 94 percent it hasn't budged since about beta 6 or so and the betas don't
affect that but i've talked about that before at length but if we go over the last 10 days
you can kind of see the shift here when we went to ios 15.1 so last sunday or saturday we were on ios
15 and i only had 2 hours and 19 minutes of screen on time 3 hours and 12 minutes of screen off time
and then the next day i used about well 75 percent of my battery and only had three hours and four
minutes of screen on time three hours and eight minutes of screen off time as we go into ios 15.1
you'll see that i'm getting a lot of screen on time but much less usage so 3 hours and 11
minutes and 7 hours and 48 minutes of screen off time and i didn't even use 50 of my battery yet so
15.1 for me anyway seems to be significantly better as far as battery and fixes the issues
that people were having now as far as battery life on 15.1 since i used it on my 13 pro max
that i have here this device is incredible for battery life so if you want something that has
amazing battery of course this is going to have 100 battery health since it's brand new
but battery well we'll look at yesterday i didn't even use 50 percent of my battery and
i had four hours and six minutes of screen on time three hours and 23 minutes of screen off
time and i'm at about 40 percent battery today i've used it a lot for the camera you'll see i'm
at five hours and 30 minutes of screen on time two hours and three minutes of screen off time
i've used it for video and for photos and been on the lock screen a lot and just doing a lot of
different things and it's really really good i have put it in my car to charge us driving from
say one place to another that's about five or ten minutes away but we're still way above 70 in fact
i haven't seen this drop below i think 70 percent yet in the past few days that i've been using it
i did have it a little bit early so i've had this for about well you can see three days
since thursday i've been using it full time but i started turning it on sometime around wednesday
or so so it seems to be an incredible device for battery of course i'm still working on my
full review because i like to give a full week to give you an honest impression of the device
and then i'll try a different one maybe the smaller phone now i did want to share battery life
from someone else since they're using a different phone and have different apps that they use
abhishek on instagram shared this with me and you can see this is from an 11 pro max and the day
that he sent here is three hours and 58 minutes of screen on time 15 minutes of screen off time
and he used about 50 percent of his battery so we should be getting about eight hours on ios 15.1
it's going to vary depending on what device you're using of course but it really is going to vary of
course on an early beta typically battery is not great so i'm hoping we see a big improvement there
now there are a lot of good things about all of the other updates all of the features and more
and it seems to be stable overall for most again as i said in other videos if you're
having problems with stability overall go into your settings and consider going to general going
down to transfer or reset iphone and then reset and then reset all settings this will not wipe
the phone but will reset settings such as your wi-fi settings bluetooth and more it is a big pain
but it fixed a lot of issues i was having without fully having to re-wipe the phone and start from
scratch so i would recommend maybe doing that if you're having reboot issues and major problems
if you're not then just hold out for an update at this point now as far as additional apps most apps
have been updated for ios 15 at this point and 15.1 so they seem to be okay also most people are
reporting performance is quite good i haven't seen too many complaints of performance whether that be
on an iphone 13 and iphone 11 or any other device most people even on an iphone 6s or 7 i've seen
comments saying that performance is better than ios 14. so whether that's scrolling being smooth
or not or just going into settings and scrolling or just loading apps overall their experience
has been better than they had before so that's a good sign at least that apple's getting some
things right now as far as the ipad is concerned i'm using ipad os 15.1 on my 12.9 inch ipad pro
and the experience has been pretty good i've had that odd touch bug from time to time that i
showed you on the iphone just trying to open a video but other than that it's been good
my widgets are not updating in real time sometimes they are sometimes they aren't but other times
they'll be accurate and then sometimes they won't you go into the widget and then it will update
that's something that apple will have to fix but every other thing seems to be working
really well on my ipad i haven't even checked battery life but battery life has been okay we'll
give it just a moment i did charge it to 100 well at 206 pm today so it hasn't had much screen time
today but it's had well i guess it has it says it has five hours and one minutes of screen time
and i'm at 85 charge but that's in the last 24 hours with charging it but in general i'm
getting about eight hours of screen on time with the ipad which is what you would expect so my
experience has been pretty solid with that overall now as far as other updates ios 15.0.1 maybe we'll
see something like that before ios 15.1 but last year they released ios 14.1 pretty quickly after
14 was released within a couple weeks we didn't have a big chance to use it for some time
it just was released very quickly so we could see a very fast release from apple on ios 15.1 to fix
those initial bugs so it's possible we could see it soon but we'll know if we get a beta either
this coming week or the following week typically with early betas we're on a bi-weekly cycle
and then they'll switch but this could change dramatically this year as apple has been changing
the way they do things with updates so it's possible we see an update this week although
generally it would be the following week but if we follow what we did last year we could have a
final release as well to the public so we'll just have to wait and see there's been no information
from apple that said one way or the other so we'll just have to wait and see what they do
as far as that goes now as far as should you install ios 15 or 15.1 if you haven't already
well i would say for most people they're both pretty solid i don't generally recommend going
to betas if you have critical information you need to do from your phone whether that be apps
or something else that you depend on i typically recommend staying away from early betas although
15.1 does seem to be fairly stable ios 15 seems to be okay for the most part and for most people
but some people have poor experiences with it so it's one of those things where it depends
on how critical your phone is to doing specific things i've had no problems with it personally
and i have no issues just using it regularly on my daily phone that i use every day so
i would recommend it if you haven't installed it just for the security updates and additional
features but you could wait until 15.1 is released if you really want to have things stable
now as far as the youtube community poll let's take a look at that and in the community poll
like i said earlier we have a ton of votes so this is always incredible to me so let me refresh this
so we're at 47 000 votes 851 comments in about a day or so so this is super helpful to all of us
to understand what it's like i've read a bunch of these comments there's so many i have not
read every single one of them but you'll see 74 percent of you are on ios 15 9 are on ios 15.1 9
of you haven't updated yet one percent of you are using older versions on ios 13 or
12 or older and seven percent are on android if we take a look at some of the comments we'll go
through about five or ten of these or so but we'll go through and see if there's any good ones just
randomly here waldo says since i installed ios 15 on my iphone 12 pro max battery life is great with
the new focus function i set about two hours to do not receive notifications that helps to
save battery today i took my phone from 8 am and now it's 7 pm and battery is 57 the performance
is very smooth with no slowdown so here's someone with an opposite experience that says bad battery
performance after updating still 15 to 20 percent less than before of ios 15. iphone 12 96 battery
health so it can vary greatly depending on what your phone is and how you're actually
using it john ship says iphone 10 battery life is worse than ios 14.8 and the podcast app is super
glitchy forgets the order i have podcast playing in and deletes downloaded episodes before i play
them i'd go back to ios 14.8 if it wasn't much hassle a shock aurora says i've been using this
ios 15.1 beta 1 on my iphone 7 and 8 plus and it's been amazing no battery problems or lag nate says
after i updated ios 15 i got some serious keyboard glitches in safari it was fixed by rebooting
d's tech says apple mail app problems messaging app problems on ios 15.1 beta i'm going to reset
settings to see if it fixes the problems on iphone 13 pro max jessica says i'm using
ios 15 on my iphone 12 pro max so far the battery life seems to be better than what was on ios 14.8
i'm not having to charge it twice a day anymore i've not experienced any bugs as of yet but then
i have not tried all the new features yet either so i can't be sure that it that i won't encounter
any issues nick workman says ios 15 i've had a lot more random crashes and safari has been running
very poorly for me sometimes the bottom tabs of a website get cut off even if i put the type bar at
the top i also tried turning off private relay to see if that would improve the performance
of safari and it did not at times i have to press on something several times and then it
crashes or turns to a complete white screen kyle says for me ios 15 has been extremely bugging
and a lot of crashes and hiccups not just apps but my iphone is shut down three times randomly using
an 11 pro max with 98 battery health and you can see this has 109 likes with people having similar
problems and this really goes to show that the experience varies greatly depending on who it is
you'll find about half of the comments say it's great you'll find about half that say it's got
a lot of different problems so it's hard to really gauge what's going on here but there's definitely
some odd issues now vincent says i'm using ios 15.1 beta 1 on my iphone 12 pro and m1 ipad all
i can say is it is very smooth and there are no major battery drains kevin says 11 pro max ios
15 going pretty good for me but battery is good for now and then commander apsey says it's okay
and so ios 15 and 15.1 well i'm looking forward to 15.1 where we get our first major bug fix
and some stability improvements overall with ios 15. as far as ios 15 well like i said if
you haven't already updated i would for the security reasons alone and of course the new
features but there's definitely some bugs that are still remaining and apple's aware of that in the
update notes to ios 15 or the release candidate just by itself there were about 30 different known
issues they mentioned in the release candidate then they released a small update to that and
then another update for the iphone 13 series so there's definitely some issues to work out
i'm looking forward to 15.1 though that hopefully will fix the majority of those
and hopefully we have a much more stable year than we've had before but we'll have to wait
and see now if you've stayed this long into the video i really appreciate it and so i wanted to
let you know that i'm changing the follow-ups a little bit hopefully to be more informative based
off the youtube community poll and some other things but in the future i plan to change those
and i really wanted to record this outside but unfortunately just the area was too busy and it
wasn't possible due to noise today but maybe in in the next week or two i'll be able to do that again
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 haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
