hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 13 betas
and ios 14 betas are always fairly buggy however with ios 13 it was considered
one of the buggiest betas and even buggiest public releases that we had in
a long time and so what i did based off a lot of
feedback from you many of you wanted to see a video
comparing the two as far as stability and what we remember
so i took a look at ios 13 betas versus ios 14 betas
starting with beta 1 and going to beta 3. now i'm running ios 13.6 on my iphone
8 plus in my left hand and then i have my
iphone 11 pro max in my right hand that's running ios 14 beta 3. and so i
wanted to talk about what i found by going back to my videos
and taking a look at the follow-ups from over a year ago or so now the first
thing is with ios 13 beta 1 there were a lot of issues in fact i had
said and remember doing this that with ios 13 beta 1 and 2 it was so
bad that i actually rolled back to ios 12 betas or
12 final versions so that it was more stable and i could use my phone
regularly without having a ton of bugs people were saying there was app
compatibility issues and simple tasks such as leaving a
comment with the youtube app and you'll see i'm installing a bunch of
updates right now on my 8 plus but leaving a comment for example would
just crash the app so you couldn't leave comments on apps
or at least i couldn't many people complained of the same
and also people were complaining strangely about apple removing 3d touch
now they technically did not remove 3d touch they just simply
changed the way it works now the iphone 8 plus
is definitely faster with 3d touch but there's still problems with ios 14 betas
for example beta 1 while it was fairly unusable on ios 13 beta 1.
ios 14 beta 1 had some touch input lag for example
i had the keyboard freeze up on me quite a few times so as i was scrolling
through or maybe i was just typing the keyboard would freeze also i had a
few resprings where the phone would just sort of restart on its own
and the number one complaint i got was widgets not working in fact
widgets are still not working up to this point with beta 3
but i would expect that to be fixed in the future sometimes for example you tap
on the widget it brings you to your real time forecast with my weather widget
or maybe the weather widget isn't even there at all so
people are still having issues but they seem to be much more severe on ios 13.
so another example is with beta 2 with ios 13
what we had was wallpaper crashing the device so maybe you'd go in
go to your wallpaper and then change your wallpaper and set it to something
different it would completely crash my device over
and over and i did see this with ios 14 beta
strangely but the device would still freeze up
there were overall crashes using voice to text in messages for example would
just crash messages or crash twitter if you were
using voice dictation or voice to text just didn't seem to work carplay had
issues and also a major issue for a lot of people with apple
music is apple music for some people just didn't work altogether so for
example you'd go into apple music and then some people were getting weird
responses and saying it needed some sort of code
that was an early on problem but it seems like they fixed that later
on of course now with ios 14 beta 2 most people said
it was really stable touch input still gave me issues and
some other people but performance was good
and in general it was just great we didn't see that before with ios 13. in
fact ios 13 public betas did not come out until
a second version of ios 13 beta 3 was released now with ios 13
they released ios 13 beta 3 to developers and then
a few days or a week later or so they released it the public beta
they released the public beta with ios 14 right after beta 2 or so
and so it's much more stable early on in fact beta 3
was much better with ios 13 it was terrible on the ipad
for me but it had zero app crashes it was smooth it had no lock ups
and banking apps and things were working for people again however
battery was not great in fact battery was pretty terrible on ios 13 betas and
the same holds true with ios 14 betas today
now i did find the ios 13 betas were only getting me about four hours of
screen on time so if you were using your battery
and just using it as normal you would get terrible battery life and that was
with a hundred percent battery health my iphone 8 plus currently has 97
battery health and my iphone 11 pro max has 96 the last time i checked it
so it has 96 battery health and what i've found is with ios 14 beta 3
with normal use i'm getting about six or seven hours of screen on time
that's not great compared to the normal 10 to 12 but it's an early beta
equally as bad was ios 13 beta 3 where i was getting about four to five hours of
screen on time on an iphone 10s max so keep in mind they're early betas but
both of them got much better around beta 3. beta 3 on
ios 14 still has some issues with mostly the widgets people complain about
and then some touch input issues i'm having with it personally
beta 3 of ios 13 was much better but terrible on ipad i had all sorts of
issues with touch with watching video and everything else
so keep in mind betas in general are going to be fairly buggy it's just the
way they are but with ios 14 it seems like apple nailed it they've made it
much better and in fact i would expect ios 14 beta 4
hopefully by the time you're watching this video
we're only about a few days away from it but either way
hopefully it gets much much better every other year apple seems to improve on
them so i wouldn't expect anything different
ios 12 was great 13 not so good 14 seems to be much better
so give it a few more betas and it'll probably be stable enough for most
people to use and then of course the final
release hopefully will be much better than what we had with ios 13. now with
ios 12 we were ios 12.4 at this time last year now we're already
at ios 13.6 that's how many rev revised or fixed
versions we have and we're still waiting for more versions with ios 13.
something was changed in the code that made it less stable less reliable
and with ios 14 i think we're going to see much better experiences in the
future not only with ios but with ipad os also
with watch os hopefully we see a better experience in general with all the
devices this year it seems like apple's really focusing on
that including mac os big sur as opposed to mac os catalina so this year should
be the year of stability but right now don't worry about it if
you have issues with your widgets apple will fix that
and they'll update it and it will be much better in the future
now i've got two different wallpapers here from ios 13 this is an older
version that i've used this wallpaper before i'll link both of them in the
description below if you'd like to try them out
