hi everyone aaron here for zollotech and
ios 15.5 has been out almost a week at
this point along with 15.6 beta 1 that's
been out for a few days so let's take a
look at how it's going for most of us
with battery bugs and more and also a
few things i didn't mention in the
initial what's new video now the first
thing i didn't mention because well it
doesn't pertain to the united states but
rather communication safety has expanded
to new zealand the uk and canada and so
as you can see here we have child safety
or child communication safety now this
has to be enabled by the parent so you
need a family account and then you can
enable it within your communication
safety settings under screen time so
this is something that they've added
this does not need to be turned on at
all but basically it will let your child
know if it thinks there's an image that
may not be appropriate but then it also
warns them and then asks them to contact
a parent or if they want to see it for
sure or not again you can turn this off
if you don't want it to be there also
the first time you open up itunes
there's actually a new splash screen i
don't really use itunes too much i use
tv and movies and things like that so
let's go to itunes i already went past
it here so if we go to the itunes store
the first time you go into it you'll get
a new pop-up screen or splash screen it
just says welcome to the itunes store
get the music you want watch the latest
movies enjoy ad-free tv shows so that's
something that's new in 15.5 that i
didn't mention in the initial what's new
video now as far as the overall
experience i did run a youtube community
poll and at the time of this video
there's almost 10 000 votes and 213
comments i've read all of those comments
to get the best understanding of what
15.5 and 15.6 are like with ios 15.5 it
seems there are three issues that seem
to be a standout issue so most people
say it's quite good and it's definitely
worth installing but there's three
standout issues connectivity seems to be
the number one standout issue so
typically on t-mobile it seems to be the
most problematic and the reason i say
that is earlier this morning they
actually said there was a problem with
connectivity on t-mobile if you use an
e-sim so if you're using an e-sim and
not a physical sim card that goes into
the side of your phone there's a problem
with connectivity where sometimes it
could just deactivate altogether and
then not reactivate so this is a problem
on t-mobile and maybe they can fix it
remotely or it could be fixed with maybe
a 15.5.1
so we'll talk more about that in a
minute but other people are having
issues with connectivity switching
between lte and wi-fi and 5g and 4g it
just seems to be really slow overall
having more drops and disconnects and
the odd thing is is in ios 15.6 beta 1
apple reverted the modem back one
version and it seems to have resolved
those issues so all of the connectivity
issues i was having whether that be with
speed overall if we go down to speed
test here
speed overall seems to be pretty good on
15.6 and i've been running both of them
depending on the device here so we'll
wait for it to connect i'm on 5 guc
let's see what we get
so i'm getting about 50 megabits per
second down which isn't great and this
can change greatly i only have two bars
of service and this can go to many
hundreds or
sometimes it's just poor like it is
right now so it really depends on the
day and where i'm at i'm at 86 megabits
per second down about eight megabits per
second up or nine megabits so not
incredible but it's working fine for me
now on 15.6 but was definitely
problematic on 15.5
so that may be a consideration if you
have t-mobile you may want to hold off
also i was having a lot of touch issues
with 15.5 so maybe i'd go into music and
then it just wouldn't work well or i'd
go into the app store and sometimes just
touching on different apps or just
trying to get out of the app altogether
would be slow or just not responsive so
going into the different apps going back
out sometimes would take a second and
i'd have to tap multiple times
also mail continues to be an issue if i
turn off do not disturb here you'll see
the different notifiers i have 36 unread
me email at this point and mail seems to
be a problem where it keeps showing the
wrong indicator as far as what's unread
so i've been having those issues and i
actually asked on twitter what email
client you use because i was having
issues and wondering if it was affecting
battery as well even with 15.6 mail
continues to have an issue so there's
definitely some odd things there now as
far as battery life what i found by
going through all of your comments is
that with ios 15.5 if you had good
battery with 15.4.1
typically you're going to see good
battery with 15.5 however those of you
that had issues prior to this with
15.4.1
or even 15.4 or older typically still
have poor battery that's what i was
seeing as far as a pattern in all of
your comments now battery health on my
device is still at 100 which is quite
good so i just put this on the charger
every night put it on my car which is a
wireless charger while i'm driving and
that's about it i don't do anything
special i leave optimized battery
charging turned on and so i also took a
look at coconut battery to see what this
had to say and it's also saying it's at
100 percent and you can see the cycle
count here as well so it's doing quite
well that way if we take a look at my
battery usage yesterday i had two hours
and 31 minutes of screen on time 7 hours
and 41 minutes of screen off time you'll
see there's a bug here too with recently
deleted apps where it's not showing
anything so i'm seeing a lot of
background activity even though
background app refresh is turned off on
many of these apps the day before that
you'll see i only had three hours and 48
minutes of screen on time 6 hours and 25
minutes of screen off time and used
about 75 of my battery i'm actually
having okay battery life but it's very
hit or miss depending on which version
we're running on it seems to be about
the same so you'll see from thursday
forward that we have well thursday
forward i'm on 15.6 before that is 15.5
so about the same battery life typically
by the time i go to bed i have about 40
to 50 percent of my battery life left
others are having a phenomenal
experience though
it doesn't seem to bother me too much on
the 13 pro max but on the ipad it still
continues to be an issue now the overall
experience with ipad ipad os seems to be
okay i've still had some of those touch
issues i mentioned with 15.5
15.6 did seem to improve that but
battery life hasn't improved at all so
you can see coconut battery here i'm not
at 100 as far as battery health on the
ipad and have quite a few cycles with it
but that's okay i use it regularly and
you'll see yesterday i had two hours and
52 minutes of screen on time one hour
and three minutes of screen off time and
used about sixty percent of my battery
i'm only getting five to six hours of
screen on time on the ipad and it
continues to be an issue i'm hearing
more and more from more people that
they're having the same issue as well so
hopefully this is something that apple
can resolve maybe with ipad os 16 but
overall the experience is similar except
for battery life now the storage bug is
something i wanted to mention but i'm
not sure that many of you want me to
mention it regularly as this seems to be
very hit or miss depending on who you
ask most people say that the storage bug
is resolved meaning when you go into
iphone storage it loads fine that's not
the bug the bug is the system data usage
so once this loads down at the very
bottom you'll see system data and it
will be much larger than you would
expect so if we go all the way to the
bottom here you'll see here system data
is still loading we'll give it a minute
to load and then we'll take a look you
can see my system data finally loaded i
have 6.23 gigabytes in use just before
this it was above 8 gigabytes this
changes over and over over time when
you're looking at it so different things
can store data here so different caches
such as safari can store data and by
clearing that sometimes it will clear
this up however i did see someone
sending that they had over 80 gigabytes
of use so that's definitely an issue and
you really need a third-party app to
clean that out or maybe clear the cache
in safari and see if it helps but
there's definitely some issues for some
but for most it seems that system data
is smaller so we'll take a closer look
at that maybe in a different video and
see how we can fix that for many people
as far as the phone getting too hot
there are some people saying that it
gets far too warm compared to what it
did before and that 15.4 was better for
them or
15.4.1 however other people say that
it's much better this time around so it
really seems to be very random this time
with 15.5 who's experiencing bugs and
who isn't now with ios 15.6 it does seem
to fix those touch responsiveness issues
and the connectivity issues rolling back
that modem definitely made a difference
and hopefully they can roll this out
soon now if you're wondering if you
should install ios 15.5 i would say if
you have an e sim and you're on t-mobile
i might hold off because we could see a
new version to fix that if apple can't
resolve that remotely we could see that
so
everything else though seems to be much
better with 15.5 for the majority of
people however with the issues you're
having i wouldn't expect any major fixes
with it but there were a ton of security
updates in 15.5 so if we go to the apple
security website you can see if we
scroll down with ios 15.5 and ipad os
15.5 there are a ton of security updates
so i would recommend installing this
unless you're on t-mobile with an e-sim
just to take care of some of those
security issues however we could see an
ios 15.5.1 as soon as this coming week
if apple can't resolve that t-mobile
issue so if they can't push that fix out
remotely to fix connectivity i would say
we could see that as soon as this week
where they resolve that with a small
update with additional security fixes
and maybe some bug fixes as well so
hopefully we'll see something like that
and then we'll be on to 15.6 betas with
beta 2 and then of course ios 16
on june 6th so on june 6th we're all
waiting for that we'll have wwdc 2022
we'll have the keynote with new features
with ios 16 which is expected to be
pretty large at this point along with
watch os 9 also expected to be a pretty
major update so i'm looking really
forward to that ios 15 seems to be
mostly complete and slightly solid at
this point it's not a hundred percent
but it's slightly solid so depending on
what device you're using and who you ask
many people say performance is better
but september is when we can expect
iphone 14 of course with ios 16 watch os
9 tv os 16 mac os 13 and so on and maybe
even a new vr ar headset with reality os
so i'm looking forward to all of those
things now if we take a look at the
youtube community poll at the time of
this video let's refresh it we have 9
900 votes so almost 10 000 votes and 213
comments 49 of you are saying 15.5 is
great 34 percent of you are saying it's
the same as fifteen point four point one
seven percent say it's terrible nine
percent are on fifteen point four point
one or older and two percent are using
fourteen point eight or older so many of
you haven't updated yet for whatever
reason maybe you're on an older device
and you're just happy with it but for
those security reasons apple is no
longer updating previous versions so i
would recommend installing it just for
that but again if you have an e-sim i
wouldn't do that yet if you're on
t-mobile however let's take a look at
some of the comments and what you had to
say so like normal i have my ipad below
and floresto villaflor said i live in
the philippines using iphone 12 pro max
i use smart 5g after ios 15.5 switching
from wi-fi to mobile 5g takes too long
or is too long to take effect
long enough that i have to switch off my
iphone and still took a little while for
my data to kick back in unlike ios 15.4
which is perfect so there's definitely
something up with this version of ios 15
where we just have some odd bugs as far
as that goes with switching between
cellular and wi-fi i'm not really sure
what they did there but there's
definitely something going on 5.0 fox
says it's okay however i'm getting an
issue where notification icons are
disappearing the little image to the
left that's the app icon slash profile
picture of the contact restarted phone
multiple times with no luck and so
there's definitely some odd issues and
they seem to be very random this time
around depending on who you ask chitanya
ashtakar hopefully i'm saying that
properly finally my iphone 10s heating
and battery draining issue is resolved
now i'm happy with this update no bugs
noticed as such
dennis jones says no problem on either
the iphone 7 plus or the 12 pro max the
7 plus battery life is better on the 12
pro max it seems the same as 15.4.1 rd
vortex says using iphone 11 pro max and
battery life is still pretty bad on 15.5
something happened on 15.4 that made
battery life of my phone way worse and
it hasn't really improved with updates
battery health is still at 93
so that shouldn't be the issue either
and like i said before this is where
what i'm seeing over and over is if you
had poor battery life before chances are
it's not going to be resolved however if
you had better battery life with 15.4.1
it seems that it's gotten even better or
about the same with 15.5 rodrigo said
having a lot of issues with this patch
on my iphone 12 pro specifically with
the default mail client when even i try
to reply to any email the app will just
close on pressing of the send button
it's not even saving as a draft so the
mail app overall is just crashing the
only thing i could suggest with this is
maybe uninstall the mail app and then
reinstall it from the app store
sometimes that resolves the issue and a
lot of people have been seeing mail use
a lot of background activity too so
again something up with the mail app
maybe apple's getting ready for ios 16
are going to change something it's hard
to say at this point hunter price said
i'm using ios 15.5 and my iphone 12 pro
is pretty much good it seems the battery
life has improved versus ios 15.4.1
everything is smooth and there's no
issues except with siri not working
sometimes mega jeremy says mine seems to
have improved i'm coming home to around
40 to 50 percent compared to 20 to 30
percent doing all the same stuff and so
that seems to be the case for many
people like i said if you had good
battery before you'll have good or
better battery this time around if you
didn't there's still some issues so be
sure to check out what's using your
battery in the battery settings maybe
under some apps that are causing it
typically facebook or facebook owned
apps seem to have that issue a lot it
seems and then of course ios 15.6 beta 1
didn't show us a whole lot except for in
the code so i expect some of those
features to be available in beta 2 or
beta 3. so look for that in maybe a week
or two of course all of the big changes
will be in ios 16 so that's what i'm
looking most forward to i think it's
going to be much bigger than many of us
think but let me know what you'd like to
see in ios 16 in the comments below and
of course if you'd like to get your
hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in
