Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.5 beta 1 has been out for a few days and then apple
re-released it as 14.5 beta 1 with a new build number they didn't give it a different name but
we just called it re-release and then also the same day they released ios 14.5 public beta 1.
and so i wanted to talk about a few new features that i didn't mention in the previous video
as well as the overall experience i've been using it full time on my iphone 12 pro max i also have
it on the iphone 11 here as well as the ipad pro 12.9 from 2020 which i use full time when i'm not
editing videos so the overall experience is pretty good and we'll talk about your experience as well
based off the youtube community poll where there's 17 000 votes at the time of recording this video
and 193 comments of which i used to kind of figure out what's going on with this particular update
so when i talk about issues that this is having it's based on that
but first let's go over the new features and the first one has to do with find my
if you're using siri to activate find my or find someone with siri
it actually has a slightly changed interface so if i hold down the power sleep wake button you can
also use the word hey in front of it to activate it but let's go ahead and try this find zack zolo
and you'll see it pops up the location fairly quickly and there's the new interface and it tells
me where he's located and so it's been updated it looks a little bit different and they've
just made that slight change now another thing they've changed is some people are getting a new
splash screen or display screen if we go into settings and then you open up screen time you
can see there's a new splash screen and it just tells you about it weekly reports downtime and app
limits content and privacy restrictions as well as screen time passcode now they had this before but
it's changed slightly now other than that there is one more small feature that may be coming in the
future that's mentioned in the code and that has to do with the potential to edit maybe a
note in the future where we can't do it now so Steve Moser if you've been following along one
of my friends here you can follow me on twitter it says i wonder if there are any new note attachment
editing features in the pipeline editing this attachment is not supported on this device is what
it's showing in the code to edit it upgrade to the latest version of and he said it was seen in both
beta 1 of ios 14.5 and mac os 11.3 beta 1. so there should be some new updates with that maybe
in the future and as these beta versions progress of course we usually get a few more features
now as far as the overall experience well my experience has been okay actually i still have
that sort of app stutter when you open an app up and close it sometimes it will just stutter when
it closes so it could be anything from podcasts to music to safari it doesn't really matter what i'm
opening but it just seems to stutter from time to time so if we go into spotify for example
swipe up sometimes it will just stutter when you go back out so if you swipe up it has this
little jitter to it and that hasn't been fixed it usually takes one to two days to show back
up though and it's shown back up also i've had it freeze up on me when i was in settings so
i was in settings it completely froze i wasn't able to do anything i had to actually close out
of settings like this go back in then i could use it again it did free itself up a little bit later
on its own if you just left it it would do that but it has locked up a couple times for me
also i've had some issues with these notification bubbles so you'll see here the notification says
14 for twitter it works fine for that but on messages it seems that it's not clearing
itself regularly sometimes it will give me a few numbers there and then i'll go into messages
i won't have anything new and then they don't go away it's kind of a pain but i've seen that
also if we go into messages within messages they've now grayed out the check mark when
you're when you're typing or texting to someone so if i say hello this little icon with the arrow
sometimes will be grayed out and sometimes i can't press on it even after i've typed so for whatever
reason sometimes that doesn't show up properly and it wasn't working for me then it would work after
i type the next message so i'm not sure what's going on with that but i've seen that bug as well
and so those are the bugs i've had actually with the ipad i've had no bugs whatsoever
but we'll talk about battery life a little bit later but the issues you're having there's a few
that are noted and the number one thing is lag so not only the stutter that i mentioned when you're
trying to swipe out of an app or things like that everyone's mentioning that for the most part
also others are just saying that there's lag and stutter and occasional app crashes so maybe you're
in music or maybe you're in spotify it could just crash i haven't experienced that myself but quite
a few of you have seen those apps crash people are saying again freezing and mostly just lag in
general so those things have been seen throughout this update of course it is an early beta i expect
those sort of things i expect crashes but people are seeing them more than you would with ios 14.4
for example of course there's that green tin issue which hasn't gone away yet apple has not
resolved it hopefully they will in a future update but right now the green tin issue is still there
but when it's not freezing or lagging performance in general is fine and everything's smooth but
then you'll get those occasional stutters and lag and it just won't perform like you would expect
sometimes it's great sometimes it's not a reboot does tend to help that i did have to reboot this
and the issues i was having with location with the tesla app for example it uses location and
bluetooth to unlock my car those bluetooth issues for me have been fixed i'm not sure they have for
everyone else also the final thing i wanted to point out in this update is if you go into your
settings with ios 14.4 they gave you the option for for sound and haptics where you could more
easily sort of set it up for headphone safety to recognize what actual devices it was using
however that's gone in this update so if you go to bluetooth and then we go to my car for example
i can no longer categorize that it's audio from a vehicle it's just not there so they took this
out in this version it's a beta so maybe they'll put it in a little bit later but right now that's
gone and they should bring it back i would hope since it was a major feature of the last one so
those are the major issues i'm having with this update of course it's a beta so if you're having
issues make sure you submit that and feedback but that's definitely something that you should
consider also let's take a look at battery life so if we go into settings we'll go down to battery
battery health it's at 100 percent and we'll go back over to the last 10 days and if we look
at maybe yesterday or two days ago we'll look at yesterday first i had four hours and four minutes
of screen on time three hours and 34 minutes of screen off time and i used a little bit over 50
percent of my battery the day before that about the same amount of usage four hours and 17 minutes
three hours and 51 minutes of screen off time and so you can see that it actually improved this is
the date from where we've had the re-release of ios 14.5 beta 1 with a new build battery seems to
have increased to at least nine hours of screen on time if i was to use this until we reach 100
usage so by the end of the day i've got 50 percent but the same is not true for my ipad it seems the
battery issues have returned with this beta but again it's a beta so i can deal with that but
if we go to settings we'll go to battery and i had to charge it this afternoon you'll see it was last
charged at 3 15 p.m but if we look over the last 10 days maybe yesterday i used it for 24 minutes
with one hour and 12 minutes of screen off time the day before i used it for about four hours
and i was down to 10 battery life after this usage so between the update for this version and then
using it and not using it i used it for hours and it used my entire battery so there's definitely an
issue with standby time on the ipad it seems and again it's a beta but i'll report it and
then hopefully they'll fix it when it's finally released now as far as ios 14.4 quite a few people
are saying they're having issues battery life is improved like i mentioned in the previous version
of this video last Sunday when i talked about ios 14.4 71 percent of you said that there was
no issues you were seeing better battery life or better or same the same battery life as i was 14.3
but again there's definitely people having issues with it and as the update goes on i
expect there to be more issues so there's still some issues no version is perfect but apple is
still working on it and that leads me to ios 14.4.1 maybe or maybe we'll wait a few weeks
and see 14.5 with 14.4 we only had two betas and then they released it to the public which is very
unusual normally you would have a minor update and then a major update later on but it seems like we
could either see 14.5 after beta 2 in a few weeks or we could see a 14.4.1 to address the issue with
green tint and the reason i'm looking for a public release is apple stopped signing ios 14.3 and
anytime you have 14.3 unsigned for example or any version that's only leaving one public release so
you can't downgrade usually within two weeks or so you'll have a public release so i would look for
something fairly soon could be this week more likely the following week but either way i'll
keep you updated as soon as i know i think the betas currently are on a two-week cycle especially
since we've only had this version for a few days so i wouldn't necessarily expect a beta this week
i would wait for the beta maybe the following week and that leads me to should you install
ios 14.5 beta 1 well i would say if you're a beta tester and you know what you're getting into then
sure but this has enough issues with lag and freezing that i would probably hold off and see
how it is with beta 2. i think that's why apple delayed public beta 1 re-released beta 1 and then
released the public version because there were so many issues so there's definitely issues apple's
working on it and of course we'll continue to submit feedback so they fix it now before we
take a look at the youtube community poll here are the statistics based off the comments you
left on the community poll so battery life these are just mentions of these words so battery life
lag freezing some phones heating up only four or so people mentioned that and some apps crashing
quite a few of that and quite a few people with lag now here are all the devices people are using
not so many with the 6s this time around and it seems like the iphone 11 and the 12 pro max are
the most popular right now that seems to be the most popular currently that people are using at
least commenting on this poll now let's go ahead and take a look at the community poll now like i
said earlier well it was 17 000 votes now it's 18 000 by the time i've recorded to this part of the
video so i really appreciate everyone that's voted and you can see seventeen percent of you
said that it was great three percent said it was terrible seven percent are still having some bugs
sixty three percent of you have not updated and ten percent are using android and i know a lot
of people say why are you including android and it's generally because well ten percent
are using android but still enjoy these videos so i always appreciate anyone voting but i would
like to refine these even more than we have now and if you have an idea let me know the top five
things in the comments below that you would like to see in the next poll and hopefully if we can
get a consensus maybe we'll use those instead so put those in the comments below now let's take
a look at some of the comments there's 193 at the time of this video and well let's go back here and
we'll sort them by newest first and you can see here the first person says nameless user
says my battery health is three percent lower just with this update 89 percent dropped to 86
i don't know if this is bug but i didn't like it i use an iphone 11 pro and like i've said before
many times the health is not affected by the update the update is just rechecking now that the
os has been freshly installed it's checking the physical battery health based off statistics that
are stored within some files within your phone and it's just giving you your battery health overall
so it's just telling you the physical capability of your battery based off a number
now i think apple does delay this a little bit when they actually install an update versus if
you don't install an update so i don't know what the time frame is where it refreshes your battery
health number your battery number but it's just something that it rechecks every time you install
an update which it will check right then and then update the number at that point so it's not the
update causing it is what i'm getting to it's more that it's just rechecking it brian zinzer says on
my iphone 10s max running great battery seemed to go down a bit faster than normal but still lasted
all day matthew mcdonald said i'm on my 8 plus no problems here the seal says hi aaron as i vote is
it's okay but have some bugs wi-fi shortcuts isn't working properly battery life on standby
11pro max is draining but has one improvement it's charging more correctly with magsafe duo
no more stutter i can't install this one on my main phone respect and thanks for commenting
jeremy debose says 12 pro max and 2018 ipad pro great so far iphone is getting 11 plus hours of
screen on time the multitasking return home lag seems to be gone so far being able to finally
use face id with a mask on is a lifesaver so far so good vindusty says i'm having 4g connectivity
issues other than that it's great iphone 11 pro max jiwanta says i have an iphone 11 and it's been
okay only issue that at auto fill does not work other than that it's perfect fulani nala says
running the public beta on my iphone 11 pro and a couple apps have lagged a bit when opening up
and battery appears to be draining a little faster apart from that and for the most part it's it is
great and stable so far joseph robinson says good battery but my watch seems to die faster now with
s4 cellular noaa messer says for the most part it is good i've been having issues with airdrop
where i send an attachment to another device and it will take a long time and eventually it will
say it failed the green tin issue is still present i also found a bug where if you tap on the legal
and regulatory tab in settings it will crash the settings application i did send feedback
to apple on all of these bugs on the other hand performance and battery life are good
and so let's go ahead and test that so we'll go home go to settings go to
general scroll down to legal and regulatory and it definitely crashes we'll try it one more time
legal and regulatory and it's crashing so again we need to submit those to feedback but
that's interesting i hadn't seen that before i'll read two more muhammad says i have crashes
on my iphone 8 and battery percentage glitch 2. pikachu says i use ios 14.5 on both my iphone 10
and 12 pro on my iphone 10 apple's native podcast app has a bug where it would open
and continue resuming play of the latest podcast on the net on the up next playlist for a few
seconds and then the app would crash on my iphone 12 pro one of my banking apps wouldn't even open
other than each of these bugs on on each phone everything else has run smoothly and
so there are some apps that still won't open for me the playstation app won't open and so there's
definitely some bugs with it so that's it for ios 14.5 beta 1 and ios 14.5 public beta 1. of course
like i said expect an update it may be a week or so away at this point so maybe we'll see something
this week and if we do i'll keep you updated again if you wouldn't mind making a little list of those
votes that you think would be best for the youtube community poll i'd love to see what you have there
of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
like i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
