Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 6 as well as ios
13.7 beta 1 or gm have been out for a few days and i wanted to share my
overall experience and your experience based off the youtube community poll
where there are over 10 000 votes and hundreds and hundreds of comments to
give us a good idea whether or not we should install these what to expect
from them and let's go ahead and first talk about ios
13.7 so ios 13.7 i have running on my iphone
10s max i just have an apple silicon case on it
and i'll link that in the description if you want to check that out but
this particular update was a bit of a surprise and seemingly seems like a gm
in fact the few people that commented about it on the poll have said that
battery life is phenomenal and the interesting thing is despite
having the beta profile installed there is no feedback app
and like i said in the previous video of what's new
this is pretty much a gm version so the build number
you'll see there's the beta profile the build number says that this is basically
a gm version meaning that there's no additional
numbers or anything else and so this update i would expect as
soon as this coming week in fact we thought at first that this was going
to be a public release a few people such as 9 to 5 mac and
others actually said this was coming out to the public and it didn't it came out
as a beta so i would expect this as a public release this coming week and
if you're on ios 13.6.1 you definitely can update also the
jailbreaks work for it and things like that if you're worried about it at least
people have confirmed that already now before i talk about ios
14 beta 6 i want to talk about watch os 7 beta 6 quickly
because i'm getting a lot of people asking should you install watch os 7
beta 6 and as long as you're aware of the risks
then i would say absolutely and the only risk really is if there's a
problem you cannot downgrade it yourself you actually have to send it into apple
there's no way to physically connect it to a computer that's available to the
public anyway that you can actually restore your
device so if you do have a problem you'll have to send your watch in
now saying that it's actually been really good on my series for
apple watch so i haven't had a single problem and the only way to get off of
the beta version is uninstall the public beta profile
and then wait for the next public release so if you can do that
you don't have a problem or you can go to the final version once that comes out
and just uninstall the beta profile but really it's been solid i haven't had
any issues early on i had some issues with battery
but if you want to try out watch os 7 betas i would suggest just going to the
public beta site and trying it out now as far as ios 14 beta 6 well i really
haven't had many issues with it i had two problems initially and one of them
still remains but for the most part this is the most stable beta so far for me
battery life is decent we'll talk about that in a moment but as far as the
overall experience it's been good with the exception of the day after i was
using it it completely got really sluggish locked up i would go
into apps like notes things that use icloud
and it just completely froze and wouldn't work even if i closed out the
app it just didn't respond properly so i've
had a couple issues a hard reboot fixes that problem every single time but
it's kind of annoying that i've had to do that
the other issue i'm having is when you're tapping on a notification
such as a notification for twitter it doesn't bring you right to the thing
notifying you and instead it just brings you to the
main page of twitter which is really kind of annoying
and hopefully it'll be fixed in upcoming betas but it's probably something
they've changed in the code there's also some weird notifications
that you are experiencing based off the community poll and a friend that sent in
a little information and a video about it so let's take a look
now wessel sent this in and as you can see you'll see the scratch is on my
screen but as you can see a notification popped in on twitter
another one and then they disappear and so this seems to be a concurrent problem
that keeps happening with notifications and so there's definitely something
going on other people are reporting that notifications are just not showing up on
time either so that's an issue now there are eight
common issues that people have mentioned having issues
and it doesn't matter which phone you have here i have an iphone 7
and it seems to be across all of the devices so for example some have issues
with the battery case not working in fact over four or five people
mentioned that the battery case wasn't working properly
also some have said that wireless charging isn't working now i personally
haven't had an issue with it in fact i charged my 11 pro max with a
wireless charger last night no problems whatsoever and also i've
been using ios 14 beta 6 primarily on my 11 pro max
and my 2020 ipad pro 12.9 and then i also have it on the iphone 7.
so also people are saying that their experience
using the phone is it's getting much hotter so
normally when you're using the phone and playing a game it will get warm just
because it's using the cpu so the back will get a little bit warm
but when you're playing games it's getting much hotter than normal in fact
my daughter was playing minecraft and the phone overheated not just that
it got hot it physically said that it overheated
i tweeted about this and that's sort of the risk you take with betas
but i've never seen it where you're just using it doing one task
and the phone gets so hot that it overheats and that was on an iphone 10s
so it was super hot on the back hard to hold
and then also it just got super super hot so
and then it had to cool down then she could use it again she tried a hard
reboot it did occur again so there's definitely
something where it's using the processor much more than it normally would and
it's not ramping it down to keep it cool enough so normally it would just
kind of thermal throttle it and you wouldn't have an issue now a couple
people are saying that the clock widget isn't working properly and it's not
keeping the right time and then also many people have said that
the mirror front camera option isn't there
now i actually see it on my 11 pro max so if i go down to
trying to find camera there you'll see that mirror front camera
is there so i'm seeing it some people aren't i don't know if they removed it
off older phones for a temporary reason hopefully they
did and it will show back up for those that are missing it
now also the issue i was having before where it would get stuck
in location services has been fixed so if i go to
say privacy then i go to location services
then i scroll to the bottom go to system services
it would just hang before they fixed this so that's a good thing but the
other issue people are having is sometimes touch inputs aren't working so
not only is there occasional freezing and lagging
it's less than it was before but people are having it
touch input isn't working properly sometimes so you can press on an app
here and it just doesn't work sometimes and
you'll see that it does that for me from time to time
if you push just to the left of an app well i just pulled that back into
my list there if you push just to the left sometimes it doesn't work
other times it does you'll see it's kind of hit or miss so they need to sort of
fix this where the touch markers are or however
they're doing that they need to fix it so that it works properly
also pokemon go isn't working for people still
and i suspect that has to do with the ar or augmented reality plug-ins
hopefully they'll fix this in an upcoming update pokemon probably has to
fix that with upcoming api changes that allows them to interact
with the camera and things and there is one other issue with airpods
so you'll see when my airpods try to connect we get an error message let's go
in here press and hold let's go in and connect
the airpods to and you'll see we get a message it's
not really an error it's just the incorrect text
so it's popping up incorrectly it shouldn't be doing that but
from time to time it is now also i am seeing
4k youtube videos and some people are seeing picture in picture within the app
i'm not seeing this myself but let's try it out so you'll see this
is my video on which iphone should you buy
i have up to 2160p so that's nice but if i go back
out and then i go home some people are actually seeing picture in
picture i'm not seeing that i wish i was seeing that
but currently i'm not so it would be really great to have that built in
i actually have youtube premium and it's not showing up either so some people are
seeing it with the app you can do it with safari now should you update
ios 14 beta 6 well initially i would say absolutely you should always update on a
beta because the idea is apple gets a bunch
of information from feedback and things like that and
they get to see how the device is working on millions of devices and you
get to use features early so that's the idea of a beta
so i always say update but based on my experience absolutely update so
not only is it good on the iphone my experience on the ipad has actually been
really good too so i haven't had any issues on the ipad
it's been very stable i haven't really had any touch issues
either so it's been really good i've been playing call of duty mobile quite a
bit on it i've had no issues with the elite
controller been trying that out and everything seems to be working super
smooth i haven't had any issues with apps
scrolling i haven't had any crashes on the ipad with ipad os 14 beta 6
and it seems to be really really solid and so yes i think it's a great beta to
install especially if you've on previous betas
and then also the performance overall seems to be
really smooth i've had no issues and if we go into geekbench
we'll go into geekbench 5 here we'll go to the history
you'll see this is what i ran on the day it came out i got 1334 for single core
3 379 for multi-core so it's actually pretty good
it's pretty solid and i would expect this to
only be about a week old before the next version comes out
so based off of what apple has done in the past you can see all of the dates
here apple has released betas this late in
the game every single week so once we get to beta
6 we get a beta every single week usually around tuesday or wednesday i
would expect a beta as soon as september 1st
now they can change this but every single week
seems likely based off what they've done in the past so expect one on the first
or second and then the eighth or ninth and then hopefully we'll have an update
as far as when apple's going to have a keynote about the iphone 12 sometime
around that time as well so i'm looking forward to that now as
far as battery life on this beta well it's been
pretty good for me compared to previous betas it's still not up to what it was
on a public release with ios 13.6 or 13.6.1
but it's okay my battery health is at 96 percent
and i still keep getting a ton of comments saying that my battery health
is going down when i update and the betas don't do that it's just
checking the hardware of the battery so the battery physically degrades over
time this is true of android phones of cars with batteries in them they just
degrade over time with normal use the number one enemy of battery
degradation or that will cause it is heat so if
you're in a very hot environment and you're charging take off the case
that will usually help a lot things like that will seemingly help
now as far as the overall battery life well here's yesterday
and well the day before i actually made a point not to put it on the charger at
all so you'll see it was last charged to 100
on that day or today but i made a point not to put it on the charger
during this day to get an accurate reading so i had two hours and 35
minutes of screen on time three hours and 45 minutes of screen off
time and you'll see i used a little bit over 25 percent of my battery
so what that means is if you times four i could get about 10 hours of screen on
time and more of screen off time so based off that
it's actually doing pretty well prior to this with 13.6.1
i could get about 10 to 12 hours of screen on time depending on what device
i was using on the iphone 11 pro max that seemed to
be pretty typical now i did go into all the comments since we're in later betas
to see what you were saying about battery
and at the time i compiled all the data 42
58 percent of you had said that battery was better than what it was with
previous betas 42 percent of you said that it was worse
so it's better than it was in the past but it
still has some way has a ways to go until it's really really good now it is
a beta so i don't expect it to be great but it could be
caused from anything from widgets to apps you're running in the background
and so i wouldn't be too concerned about it
they'll fix that closer to the final release now before we go into the
youtube community poll here are all the different
issues that you mentioned based off all the comments when i compiled this data
and then here are all of the different devices that you were using when i
compiled the data as well now let's go ahead and take a look at
the youtube community poll now i changed up the poll a little bit compared to
last time and as you can see that 13 000 people voted so i did remove
the android option because there's two different betas going on now
i just thought we'd get more accurate information that way
but over 13 000 people have actually voted and there's 450 comments at the
time of this video so we have a really good data subset to
figure out what this is really like so 30 percent of you said that it was
great four percent said that it was terrible
16 said okay but some bugs and two percent of you said you're on the ios
13.7 beta which isn't much and i didn't expect a whole lot of people to go on
that on to that beta 48 of you said you were using ios 13.6.1 or older
so i think it's pretty encouraging that it's getting better based off what we
had in the past but in general it is a beta it will have bugs just keep
reporting them in feedback now let's take a look at some of the
comments thomas baker said i'm using the ipad pro 2018 and no problems so far
matthew dunn said my pinned conversations keep going away
other than that it's working fine anson chan said amazing battery life on
my iphone 11 only minor bug is that there are some
text overlays in the notes app navigation buttons
otherwise excellent beta alastair sonoram says
for my iphone 6s plus i think i like the update
but seems to be an issue with wi-fi connect being slow
queen bev says i'm just going to be safe and wait until apple actually releases
the darn thing using an older device and i know as soon
as i download it my phone is done the older devices actually seem to be
performing pretty well which is encouraging for future versions
mike smith says it's literally eating my battery alive
connor says i'm having a lot of problems on my 10s max battery life is horrible
airplay doesn't work in the background anymore and airpods won't connect
automatically and i can't see the battery on my case
now one thing i forgot to mention is airplay sometimes works sporadically for
me sometimes it works fine other times it just doesn't work at all
i have to reboot my phone and then it works fine so it's kind of strange what
it's doing thompson thomas says i'm experiencing
overheating issues with my iphone 10 with ios 14 public beta 6
there's anybody else having the same problem if so how can i fix it
and like i said it seems to be an issue a lot of people are having
jason stroud said my battery life is awesome on beta 6. i came straight
from ios 13.6 to this update and it has improved only problem is a lag in
messages and it freezes momentarily good update
iphone 11 pro max blackburn 43 says quick question at
which battery health capacity must i swap out the iphone 10 battery because
mine's at 96 percent well apple says 80 after two years is
normal so usually it will actually just tell you
that it's not performing properly under those battery settings so
you'll be notified and then you'll know when to swap it out now if you find you
have very bad battery then you may want to
swap it but 96 is nothing to really worry about frank
walls says just updated and i lost my blank home screen
i had a page with three widgets and my most used apps and after i updated i had
screen with all my apps i heard this is an
issue on ipad has anyone else have this issue
and yes you can't have a blank home screen anymore i don't know why apple
did that but submit that in feedback and hopefully
they'll bring it back for those that just want to see the wallpaper a seaf
sagill says hi aaron works perfectly fine just like a final build on my
iphone 6s and iphone 7. battery is pretty decent
just some minor bugs which you mention in your vids
it's so smooth and stable svetoslav popov i hope i'm saying that properly
said it took almost a whole year to make ios 13 as stable as
as 12 before it and now again problems with ios 14 the better part of the
coming year it used to be different in the past at
apple judah marcus says great and virtually no bugs on my iphone 8
battery life is normal slash good we'll read a couple more
and mario goucher says iphone 10s max here works fine i didn't encounter any
bugs so far max weigler says great on my iphone 8 nothing to report
great battery life too zane said ios 14 beta 6 is very good on my 10r so far
no issues battery is a little better than beta 5 great videos thank you
so that's it for ios 14 beta 6. now i'm looking forward to weekly updates since
we'll have some pretty much button-down features
everything's going to sort of stabilize toward the end and then it will be
released to the public so i'm really looking forward to that along with ios
13.7 i think it's kind of odd that apple did
a beta with this i'm not sure why they didn't just release it to the public
so in general i think ios 14 beta 6 is fairly stable
look for ios 14 beta 7 this week if apple continues to do what they've done
in the past and that's really it there's a bunch of
little features it's getting less and less as we get closer to the final
release but let me know what you want to see in
ios 14 or maybe future versions in the comments below 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 the video please give
it a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron i'll see you next time oh
and if you stuck around this long thanks for watching do you prefer longer
videos or do you think i should shorten them up a little bit
maybe condense them down to under 10 minutes if i can let me know in the
comments below and thanks again for watching
so you
