hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released ios 14
developer beta 3. this is available to all ios 14 supported devices
if you're a developer you can download and install it now and if you
aren't seeing it already the public beta should be out either later today or
tomorrow based on what apple's done in the past
you can see this came in at 696.7 megabytes on my iphone 11 pro max
and it was about five or six hundred megabytes on the ipad
pro 12.9 from 2020 as well as the iphone se the original iphone sc
now let's take a look at the build number and talk about what's new you can
see the build number is 18a5332f and this particular build adds a
couple different changes to things such as the music icon
we'll talk about in a moment and there is a new modem update
so it's nice to see them continually work on that and they did fix that
storage bug that many people were having so if we go
into general and then we go down to iphone storage you'll see that i'm only
using 69.5 megs or gigabytes of 256 gigabytes
before i was using almost all of my storage under other
apple has fixed this and it seems like other people are reporting the same
thing as well so most people are seeing this storage
bug fixed so that's great we've got our storage back it wasn't really affecting
the overall performance or anything of my phone
but it's nice that they fixed it now according to apple's notes
there's over 40 known issues and one of those issues is that 3d touch is
temporarily unavailable in ios 14 beta 3. now you would have to
have a 3d touch device but you can still do haptic touch so i'm
not sure what they mean by it's unavailable it basically feels the same
and i'm not sure maybe they disabled the pressure layer in things
like the iphone 6s plus for example but in general it seems like you can tap
and hold and it's not a problem it's just
disabled in this particular build however they've resolved 30 issues
including things such as accessibility with siri
when you say hey in front of it as well as guided access now works in
accessibility and also this is a bug although it seems
like it's just a design change where in imessage app icons are
now hidden when switching to the emoji keyboard so if i go into messages
and if i go to create a new message on the left you'll see here is ios 14 beta
2 running on my iphone 10r and then i have ios 14 beta 3 on the
right running on the iphone 11 pro max and so if i tap on the emoji keyboard
here you'll see that at the top on the left
we still have all our different icons where now they're gone
on the newer beta so it kind of cleans up the screen gets rid of the clutter
and then we can search emoji easily now instead of having that in the way now
also in messages they've updated them emoji
as well and now i'm not really seeing this but it actually has to do with
face covering so if we go back and we go to
our memoji here some people were saying the face covering has changed i haven't
seen the difference between beta 2 and beta 3
but instead of having it horizontal they were saying there was a vertical line
down the center in the older versions i'm not seeing that
but as you can see they look the same on my devices so i'm not sure
what people are seeing that but some are now you can see there's a big change
with the music icon they've gone back to the ios 7 style icon where it's
more of a pinkish red color with a white music note in it so if we open up the
music icon or the music app and go to listen now
it's kind of the same but they have made a few changes so for
example when we go into library there's now icons so if i do the same on
the previous version with iphone 10r you'll see here on the left there's no
icons but on the right with beta 3 we have icons now for playlists
artists albums songs and downloads also i noticed when you tap on an album
the buttons are a slightly different color so on the beta 2 version
you've got play and shuffle being a red button with sort of a white
play word in the middle and shuffle but on the beta 3 version
we have play that's gray with the pinkish red color
saying play so it's a little bit different based on
which version you're on it's a nice little change i'm not sure which one i
like more but they have updated it and those are the
changes in this particular version now along with the
music icon change they've also added a new music widget so you'll see here's
the widget it's red in color or reddish pinkish
color with the album art inside of it and then also
we have a new clock widget so you can see the different world
clocks here so those are newly added and let's press and hold and i'll show
you the different styles and it seems to be more responsive as
far as the widgets are concerned so for example here's the clock widget
and here's the different styles and different sizes
and then if we go back we'll go down to the music widget here
and there's the different styles and sizes as well so you have those
different music widget options if you want to use them and of course
you can just drag them to your home screen if you want to use them
now initially i did have an issue with the weather widget it was actually black
to begin with and wouldn't work i had to delete the widget and then
recreate it and it worked properly so that's something that they've updated
it's really nice but when it comes to older widgets so you'll see down here i
have my tesla widget as well as the current weather
conditions if i press and hold on widgets
we'll keep holding you'll see that it's sort of
separated the tesla and weather widget into sort of a
older style widget now this will probably be updated once
ios 14 is available to the public in september or october
but you'll see you can customize it here and you can add these
but you can't really do anything to them so for example
if we go to let's say lifx which is some lights that i use now they're down
here in the bottom in the widget you can't really move this around though
you can add to it so it's nice that they've added that
and it's just a way to use your old legacy widgets at this point
until they're updated now the first time you go to the widgets page
you'll actually get some more information so i haven't gone to it on
this iphone se we'll slide over and you'll see it says
refreshed widget press and hold a widget to reorganize them in jiggle mode
tap the plus in the top left to add a widget or to add widget and you can see
they've actually called it jiggle mode now and there's a photo of
myself here but it's a nice little update and then if we
slide over to the app library you'll also get one the first time you go into
the app library i took a screenshot of this so let's go into photos
and the first time you open it it says welcome to app library a new home for
your apps organized in smart categories and then finally if you press and hold
on an icon maybe you want to delete it press and hold you'll also get one that
says edit home screens hide unorganized home screen pages by
tapping the page dots so it just tells you you can sort of tap
the page dots hide the home screens it's giving a little tutorial for those
who who have not used it so it's nice to see that
this will be really helpful when ios 14 launches later this year now if you're
running the watch os 7 betas like i am on my series
4 apple watch apple has added an additional feature to
hand washing so if we go into the apple watch app on
our iphone open the app scroll down to where it
says hand washing and under hand washing there's a new
hand washing reminder and it says receive a notification if
you haven't washed your hands within a few minutes of returning home
so if you turn that on or off it reboots your watch and you now can have a
reminder as you return home hey you need to wash your hands
so it's a nice little reminder if you need that now one thing that they've
actually fixed that's really nice if you use mail or i
guess they've updated to bring back what it was like in ios 13.6
if we go into mail now if we tap edit we can just use one finger drag down
and select and highlight emails this was taken away in the previous betas you had
to use two fingers they've brought it back how it was before
i think this is a better way to do it i'm glad to see they've brought this
back now something they've updated with the
feedback app is a nice new summer newsletter so if you go into your
inbox yesterday they actually added this no one really caught
it but you'll see it says summer newsletter one and it explains
everything in the coming weeks what exactly is system diagnostics logs
and gives you a little bit more information about
what submitting feedback does and how it works so it's nice to see
look out for maybe summer newsletter 2 in a couple weeks but it's nice to see
apple add this so it explains more of what they're doing for different
versions such as ipad os and watch os 7 and all
of those as well now one small change i noticed is the
page dots at the bottom that represent the different pages
they've actually been moved down ever so slightly on
beta 3. so ios 14 beta 3 they've moved them down just a little bit
compared to beta 2 that i have here on the left so
maybe that's to make more room for widgets or resizing later on but it's
nice that they've moved them down also those emoji that apple showed off
not too long ago that are coming to ios later this fall are not yet in beta
3 or at least i couldn't find them so that would be things like an anatomical
heart and some other things as well so there's a bunch of other emoji
that comply with the unicode consortium that other people follow as well such as
microsoft and android or google with android
those will come to all of those devices so they keep up to date with all the
latest emoji now with ipad os well those changes that
i've talked about already are present here
however on ipad os they've gotten rid of the weather widget and you can't add it
so if we go into our widgets here press and hold
we'll add a widget you'll see at the bottom there's no weather widget to be
found so they've removed that unfortunately i
would love to see them bring that back but right now there's no weather widget
on ipad os 14. but with ipad os there's not really
anything new however it's been fairly stable compared to the others now with
ios 14 beta 3 it's really hard to tell how battery is
without using it for a few days so i'll be doing a follow up on sunday
but let's take a look at the battery life on beta 2 that i've been using
for the past couple of weeks now if we go into battery go to battery health
you'll see i'm at 96 percent this is completely within spec in normal
battery health does not go down when you update your device it simply re-measures
the physical condition of the battery so it's completely within spec
80 after two years is normal now battery life for me on beta 2 was not great
you'll see here's a day i used over 75 percent of my battery
and i only had four hours and 59 minutes of screen on time
four hours and seven minutes of screen off time it will vary from day to day
but normally 10 to 12 hours on an 11 pro max is normal
and battery life on early betas is not great anyway so it's not a big concern
to me but it may be for some people so if battery is a concern i would stay
away from betas and when it's closer to the final
release then that's more of a priority now the overall performance has been
really good i've noticed things are much quicker as far as pressing and holding
icons to bring up different menus or going into jiggle mode for example it
just feels more responsive different apps moving widgets around
things like that seem to be a little bit better so we'll move this around
you'll see it's very responsive things seem much better that way of course
again it will take a few days to know for sure now even on older devices it
seems to be pretty fast i would say this is faster or more responsive than ios 14
beta 1 or 2. so again pressing and holding icons
menus pop up quickly if we go over to minecraft for example
let it load we'll see what the frame rate is like so
just moving along like this it does seem fairly smooth if i want to
look around fast of course this looks kind of ridiculous
in my hands but you get the idea here let's move around so i don't have to
jump it's hard for me to hit these buttons on such a small display
but you'll see it's nice and smooth i haven't seen any choppiness or anything
like that so expect performance to be pretty good
now let's take a look at the benchmarks and see what we've got now i'm using
geekbench five so if you want to compare your scores with what i have here that's
probably what you'll want to use and you'll see my single core score on
the 11 pro max is 1338 and 3426 for multi-core
this is better than before and it goes along with it feeling more responsive
so you can see the different scores here it is definitely a little bit higher
with multi-core so i would expect it to be a little bit
snappier the way it feels just in general it seems to be zipping
along now again this could slow down a little
bit over time since it is an early beta but in general it feels pretty good
that's it for ios 14 beta 3. now if you've found anything else significant
let me know in the comments below and if there's a bunch of changes i'll do
another video with all of the other features i've
found as well now expect ios 14 beta 4 maybe on a weekly cycle at this point
that's what they've done before in the past with ios 13 but you never know what
apple's going to do so we'll have to wait and see as far as that goes
we may see another ios 13 before the launch of 14
but again it's hard to say at this point apple seems to be changing things up a
little bit now 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
