Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.7 beta 2 has been out for
a few days along with ios 14.6 that's been out for a couple weeks at this point and i
wanted to talk about the overall experience any remaining bugs what to expect as far as ios 15
and more and the first thing is ios 14.7 beta 2 has like i said been out for a few days
but people are saying where is ios 14.7 public beta 2 or that they're not seeing the update
when they go to general and software update and this is because apple never released a public
beta this time around generally they'll release them unless they find a problem
and so many people have been reporting that there is a problem with this in that it's creating a sim
error where maybe your network won't work at all so for example you'll see here on nine to five
mac it says iphone users reporting sim failure error after updating and because of this it seems
that apple delayed putting out the public beta so it wasn't creating an issue even those that
aren't getting the error sometimes are saying that the actual switching between 5g and 4g or
just networking in general isn't working at all so that's definitely a problem for some i have
not experienced it on my iphone 12 pro max where i've been using ios 14.7 beta 2 since it came out
and it's been okay for me but some people are not having that experience and it's creating a
big problem many people were saying that it has to do with those using an e sim instead of a physical
sim but others are saying with a physical sim they're having the issue too so it's definitely
why they delayed it at this point now as far as using betas that's why i generally caution people
in using betas if they update this maybe they have the sim error their phone becomes unusable now
you actually have to downgrade using a computer that's the only way to downgrade this currently
so they could update that with ios 15 for example but right now the only way to downgrade this is
to hook it up to a mac or windows computer and use finder or itunes to downgrade this so that you can
actually go back to a workable version so that's when i generally caution people using betas and so
with ios 15 beta 1 coming out on monday generally after apple's wwdc keynote normally i would hold
off on that and see how stable it is usually for the first couple of betas it's not very stable
and it's bad enough many times where i've just put it on a phone i don't use regularly or
i'll downgrade it because it's so bad that's normally how it is so keep that in mind when
using betas now something apple has actually fixed has to do with mac os so if you have a mac that
was having maybe those issues where people were saying it was reading and writing from the ssd
too much on an m1 mac apple fixed that with mac os 11.4 so that's something they updated with
the previous update that came out to the public so that's the current version if you have an m1 imac
macbook pro or mac mini or macbook air that will fix that problem and prolong the ssd and make sure
that it lasts through over time or throughout time as you use it so that's something that they fixed
with that which is good to see now as far as ios 14.6 well it's been out for a few days and it's
really hit or miss depending on who you ask based on some of the things with it for example
some people with iphone battery cases for example are saying that the battery isn't showing up
properly now quite a few people are reporting that the phone is getting excessively warm on ios 14.6
for some reason maybe it wasn't before but now with just using it for regular tasks maybe in the
apps you've always used it would get warm someone else also reported on the community poll that when
they're using the podcast app apple's revamped this app to be a little bit more modern have some
more features and also add subscriptions in the future for some reason the phone is just getting
really really warm and so that's a problem because it uses the cpu more which can slow down the phone
in general so it tries to cool itself it can dim the display and also it can reduce battery life so
people are saying that in imessages or an imessage when typing a long message sometimes it can sort
of freeze up or just not respond well scrolling speeds could be very stuttery or just very slow
and people are experiencing lockups those that are generally having problems with the battery as well
and this has been mentioned recently by a lot of people all of a sudden where about 50 percent of
people using ios 14.6 are experiencing excessive battery drain and this is a problem obviously
because you're not getting the battery life you would expect so something is causing this
generally when your phone is getting warm the cpu is working harder and it's using more power to do
that and so there's definitely something going on in the background causing this whether it's
specific apps or something they changed is hard to say but the good news is for the most part it
seems seems to be fixed in ios 14.7 according to most people and i'll talk more about that in just
a moment now as far as the remaining issues with bluetooth that continues to be an issue with 14.6
so bluetooth maybe your airpods pro air pods or maybe you're using a third-party bluetooth
device something like that it can be a problem you'll see it's not even connecting yet for
some reason sometimes with multiple devices around it's a problem but right now it's not
connecting for some reason so that can be an issue let's try it again and there we go
so sometimes it's an issue on 14.6 this iphone 11 is running 14.6 and then also
people are experiencing wi-fi issues still with it so these are things apple needs to resolve
which many people are saying are resolved with 14.7 beta 2. so on ios 14.7 beta 2 people are
experiencing problems with it but very minimal problems so that sim card error is the main one
that people are having issues with whether that be an issue with maybe your signal and
generally you can fix it by turning on airplane mode and turning it back off it resets and then
works again so that generally fixes a lot of those problems now another thing people are experiencing
is notifications not making sounds or alerting them when they come in so that's only on 14.7
beta 2 it seems to be a small bug that some people are seeing and those are really the only two major
problems people are reporting with 14.7 beta 2. so notifications maybe when you're locking your phone
it did make the sound for me so sometimes people are just not hearing that so that's only a small
problem and of course you want to report that in the feedback app but in general it seems to
be pretty stable for most so 14.7 beta 2 seems to work out many bugs and has been pretty stable
overall for me i haven't had a single freeze lock up crash or anything like that and it's responded
really really well so no issues for me there it's been super smooth and it should be at this point
since ios 15 was is only a few months away from releasing to the public and we'll see our first
beta in a day or so so that makes a lot of sense it should be pretty solid at this point now as far
as green tin in the youtube community poll there was not a single report of green tint on ios 14.6
or 14.7 now that does not mean it's not happening but no one mentioned it in the youtube community
poll so that generally lets me know that it's actually a very small problem since people aren't
complaining about it generally those that are having issues will resp report it more there than
anywhere else so that seems to be a good sign generally i'll have one or two people report it
at minimum and then sometimes more it just depends on the time now as far as ipad os 14.7 beta 2 i've
been running it on the m1 ipad pro performance of course is great on this but it's been super smooth
i've had zero problems with it whatsoever and it's been pretty solid overall as far as my battery
life is concerned we'll take a look at battery life here and then battery life on the others
but over the last 10 days i'm getting a couple hours a day of use and generally charging it
every couple days normally i'll get about 8 hours of screen on time 10 hours of screen on time and
that's pretty good for an ipad however i would like to see it improve in the future with ipad
since the m1 in the macbook pro for example can get up to 20 hours of screen on time so that's
just a limitation of the size of the battery at this point i think and the smaller design
but it's been really solid for me on the ipad pro thankfully now as far as battery life that's the
number one complaint of ios 14.6 for about 50 like i said some people are only getting through half
the day with it so that's definitely a problem for a lot of people however a lot of people say
it's great as well so it's really hit or miss and it seems like those that have their phone warming
up or maybe freezing up are the ones having that problem otherwise most people are not having it
that i hear from anyway so it's really hit or miss maybe it's an app specifically that's causing it
now as far as 14.7 beta 2 battery life well i've been running beta 1 and beta 2 my battery health
is at 100 percent and let's go back here take a look at the last 10 days and yesterday i had
three hours and six minutes of screen on time or nine minutes of screen off time the day before
four hours and 27 minutes of screen on time 18 minutes of screen off time and i only used about
50 percent of my battery each one of these days i was around 50 even a little bit less than that
and i'm getting 8 to 10 hours of screen on time easily with this update so it's actually pretty
good that's consistent it's better than 14.6 for me or even previous versions so i think
14.7 really fixes that there are a couple reports of poor battery life on this version but most say
it's pretty good and overall performance seems to be pretty good across the board not just my iphone
but older iphones going back to the iphone 6s plus for example those that are actually running the
betas are saying it's quite good and apple isn't slowing anything down that we can tell or anything
like that now as far as should you install ios 14.7 beta 2 well if you're a beta tester and
you're a developer you probably already have however if you want to try a public beta maybe
this coming week we'll see that although on monday like i've said for quite some time now on monday
june 7th we'll have ios 15 beta 1 usually released to developers generally they will not release the
public beta for a couple weeks until until it's basically stable enough to be good on most devices
so i wouldn't really hesitate to install ios 14.7 beta 2 if it comes out to a public
release or maybe they'll just skip to beta 3 which i think is more likely and then release
public beta 2 to go along with that so we should see not only ios 15 this week with
beta 1 but we should also see ipad os 15 beta 1 watch os 8 beta 1 and probably some more tv os
as well maybe home pod os for example and then mac os 12. so all of those betas should be out
and then apple will release 14 as well 14.7 most likely sometime this week with those betas and
new versions going all the way till september until we have ios 15 released to the public
so that seems likely as far as when those come out so you definitely could install that version
and then again monday will be the big day where we see all the new features of the upcoming os
now let's take a look at some of the youtube community pull comments so we'll go to youtube
the youtube community poll at this time has 13 000 votes so thanks to everyone that voted
it's always incredible to see that many votes in just about a day or so or 13 hours at the time
of recording this video and 15 percent of you said that it was great six percent said it was terrible
five percent said okay but some bugs five percent of you are on beta 1 still and 68 of you are on
14.6 or older which makes the most sense a lot of people don't want to run betas or they're
waiting for ios 15 betas for example now there's 141 comments let's take a look at some of those
so we'll go into the comments we'll sort them by newest first i wish they could sort them by
oldest first but we can go to the bottom and go up that way but let's take a look at about 10 of them
riker says i'm on ios 14.7 beta 1 on a 2020 se the wi-fi is extremely annoying it'll be connected
and perfectly fine but the connection speed tanks turning off and back on doesn't matter it doesn't
it does it any time of the day our pen says better performance than 14.6 iphone 8 plus the retrotex
is using ios 14.7 beta 2 on my iphone 12 mini haven't encountered many or no bugs however i have
somewhat poor battery life infrared sir says i'm using an e sim didn't get any pop up whatsoever
but my cellular connectivity is just broken i'm losing signal quite often and luckily i can fix
it by turning on and off the airplane mode a couple times other than that it's stable and
battery life is great definitely better than beta1 have a great day or a nice day or night
thank you fiendfortnight said ios 14.6 on my ipad air 4. it's really great no issues but the main
problem is that my screen is really not responsive it creates ghosting issues and i don't know if
it's mine but i will soon factory reset my device then see if any changes or will return it back
i think that's probably not the display i would wait for ios 14.7 and see if that's actually fixed
braden davis says it's been great for me on my iphone 12 no issues at all can't wait for ios
15. joey appleseed says running ios 14.6 on my iphone 11 battery life is very good and i haven't
ran into any bugs that i've noticed i'm very happy at this point the seal that vatifu says
so far on my iphone 11 pro max it seems to be good a few bugs are present battery life
same as beta 1 or 14.6 this release 14.7 will be focused on security and solving some bugs thumbs
up aaron and for his channel thank you robotnik says i'm on ios 14.6 still but i'm having issues
the podcast app makes my phone overheat to the point of limiting screen brightness max says i'm
on ios 14.6 and it's great on my iphone 10r but on my ipad air 4th gen ipad os 14.6 when i'm watching
youtube on safari it has a yellow line on top of the screen and my brother has this issue too
could be something youtube is actually doing so we'll have to see if it's an update they push or
could be something with safari as well so that's it for ios 14.7 beta 2 and ios 14.6 i know many of
us are looking forward to see what apple has on monday with ios 15 for example and i've covered
a lot of those things to be or what we might expect with those in prior videos so be sure
to check those out also they could be announcing a new macbook pro for example so hopefully they'll
announce some new hardware they do that every once in a while at wwdc so hopefully we'll see
some of that but of course i'll be doing a review of ios 15 and ipad os 15 and everything new and
those sorts of things on monday after the event and tuesday and the following days from there
let me know what you're looking most forward to in the comments below and of course if you'd
