Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released ios 14.3 developer beta 2. also
they released ios 14.3 public beta 2 just after this and this is again a late release in the day
they did this with beta 1. now they're doing this with beta 2. i don't know if this is a new trend
but it released around 5 p.m eastern time or later in the united states so it's pretty interesting to
see them release that this late in the day now this came in at 385 385.4 megabytes on my iphone
12 pro and was similarly sized on the iphone 6s plus ipad pro 12.9 from 2020 and the iphone 11.
now before we talk about the build number apple also released ipad os 14.3 beta 2 along with
mac os 11.1 beta 1. so those were released around the same time today mac os came out
a little bit earlier now let's go ahead and go to the build number we'll go to settings then
we'll go to general and about you can see the build number is 18c5054c and this particular
build is probably a couple away from a final version but we'll know that within the coming
weeks but this particular update came out one week after the first one which is kind of a surprise i
thought they'd do a bi-weekly update but maybe because they want to get out apple pro raw
before the end of the year they push this out and maybe they're rolling this out more quickly
now they did update the modem at least on the iphone 12 pro so hopefully you have a modem
update as well if you were having connectivity issues i personally wasn't but i know of some
people having issues with wi-fi so hopefully it fixes that although that's not specific to the
the modem update it's specific to other updates as well so hopefully this fixes an issue with lte or
5g if you were having that on the newer phones now as far as any new features well apple's pro raw i
talked about before it's for the iphone 12 pro and the iphone 12 pro max and once you turn the option
on in your camera settings you'll have raw in the upper right i don't think it was working properly
before because when i take a photo here i'll take that photo go over to the photo you'll see if i
tap on it it now says raw so it's a raw photo which means we can edit it a little bit better
we can adjust things with more dynamic range basically we can really get a lot more detail out
of things if maybe we go to exposure we can change the exposure and we won't lose a lot of detail
in the image so this will be really nice in the future for those of you with pro displays or pro
iphone 12s rather and maybe they'll bring it to other devices but i'm not really sure that they
will but it's nice to at least see that on this device since it is a promised feature with the 12
pro and the 12 pro max now something else they've changed is if you're using a custom icon for an
app this is one i just created quickly since i don't have a lot of custom ones but if you go
ahead and tap on this and it opens up you'll get a new drop down saying it ran an app shortcut so
instead of opening the shortcuts and then switching over you'll get this little drop
down and it says app shortcuts for overcast is what i set it up for so it's kind of interesting
that it just pops down every single time i don't know of a way to get rid of it but it seems like
this is a beta 2 change or feature i'm not sure i would call it a feature per se now something else
that's new or that some people are seeing is if you have the podcast app and you open it up
you'll get a new pop-up not everyone is seeing this i didn't see it on the 6s plus for example
but it did show up on the 12 pro so you'll see it says powerful stories listen any time any
place siri suggestions some people are getting different pop-ups i'm not seeing one other than
what opens when you first install the app so you may or may not see that now another thing
they've changed that they added last time but they've removed is if we go into our settings
and then we scroll down to privacy scroll all the way to the bottom to analytics and improvements
they've removed the fitness app sharing so we will see fitness plus coming soon
and some people are still seeing the fitness app installed on their ipad i'm not but some people
are seeing that but there was a fitness section in here to share that data with apple they've since
removed it with this update so maybe they'll bring it back when we're closer to the release
of fitness plus but right now there's nothing there so they have removed that now other than
that there's nothing else new that i was able to find throughout the os i'm not seeing anything in
particular that's super exciting home doesn't see any different although i do have all of the icons
filled out which is nice however the os in general feels fairly snappy so if you go in and maybe to
the iphone 6s plus this is the first time i've opened music and you'll see things seem to be
loading nice and fast i've had someone else tell me the same thing so they're seemingly
seeing improved animation speeds you'll see the camera opened really fast on the 6s plus and on
the iphone 11 you should have the same sort of experience so if we go into let's do the same
thing music here that's the first time i'm loading it on this iphone 11 you'll see that it should be
fairly responsive so nothing really terribly different the camera should open nice and fast
and i would expect a good performance overall now with ipad os 14.3 beta 2 don't expect anything
different here either there's nothing really new but it does feel very fast and fluid so
you'll see it's nice and smooth this is the pro motion display but it's super smooth no issues
there and hopefully we'll get some additional features with the ipad in the future but right
now there's not anything in particular now as far as resolved issues well i mentioned the the issue
with pro raw and apple actually mentioned this specifically that they fixed some issues with pro
raw and they also fixed some issues with home kit authentication that was not working properly
so if you're having issues with your home kit devices that should be working properly now now
there is still one known bug that they call out and it has to do with ipad os 14.3 beta 2 and it
currently does not support shared ipads so do not install it on the device if you're sharing an ipad
so if you have multiple accounts and it's shared it's actually cautioning you not to install it so
beware of that and then other than that there's nothing else that i was able to find now as far
as battery life i've been using my ipad on the beta full time and if we go to the battery life
you'll see i have 3 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time today and i charged it to 100 at 2 17 p.m
before that i used it for a couple days prior to charging it and i'm getting the normal 10 hours
i would with my ipad now depending on who you are and how you use your device i've seen some people
say that they're not getting great battery life with the first beta it's a beta so that could be
expected but some people are seeing good battery life others are seeing excellent battery life and
others are seeing terrible battery life so it will take a few days to know for sure and if you'd like
me to do a follow-up about it please let me know in the comments below now i did run a benchmark
since i did say this is performing well it feels nice and fast let's go into geekbench here i used
geekbench 5 and on the iphone 12 pro you can see i scored 1593 for single core 4034 for multi-core
if we take a look at the iphone 11 which i know a lot of people have we'll go over to here we have 1
33 for single core which is actually pretty good multi-core is 2803 which is okay maybe if i ran it
a little bit later it would go up but that will give you a general idea of what to expect on it
now on the iphone 6s plus i ran it here as well since this is an older device so let's go into
geekbench and it scored 539 or a thousand five for multi-core and then finally on the ipad pro
i ran it here and it scored 1125 for single core 4682 for multicore and we can take a look at the
history here on that as well since i've run it multiple times on this ipad but you can see
wherever they put november 17th and the 12th you'll see i have about the same single core
a couple points lower and a couple points lower for multi-core again i ran this right
after installing it so that can change the actual outcome quite a bit if i ran it again i may see
much higher scores but either way it feels very fast and fluid and i don't really have any issues
now as far as new releases some people are expecting ios 14.2.1 in the interim before
this comes out to the public because apple stopped signing ios 14.1 so that means we only have 14.2
to go back to and usually when they do that it means an update is incoming so maybe fairly soon
we'll see that as soon as tomorrow and then i wouldn't expect another beta for ios 14.3
until next week if we're on a weekly cycle so maybe next tuesday around that point but hopefully
we'll see an update to the public soon and if we do of course i'll keep you informed about that
