Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.1 and ios 14.2 beta 4 have been out for a little
while and so i want to talk about my overall experience with it now i've had some experience
using ios 14.1 on the new iphone 12 pro and also my ipad pro 12.9 from 2020. i've also been using
ios 14.2 beta 4 on my iphone 11 pro max and so let's go ahead and talk about it now as far as ios
14.1 well on the iphone 12 pro it's actually been fine and even with the iphone 11 pro i really had
no issues but i know a lot of you have been having issues and i would say battery life is great for
some and not for others but first let's talk about the issues and bugs that people are experiencing
i'm hearing a lot of people say they're having some issues with heat now when i say a lot
usually there's a couple people that mention that the back of their phone is getting warm
this time it's nine people out of the comments when i actually went through the youtube community
poll so many people are noticing that their phone is getting hotter than they would expect
also many people are saying that they're having bluetooth connectivity issues so using bluetooth
with their device seems to be having issues with it for some reason so no matter what they're doing
seems to be an issue and what specifically is causing that we're not sure but enough people
have reported that airpods keep dropping that it seems to be an issue this goes along with wi-fi as
well with people saying that it's dropping now apple was supposedly fixing that with ios 14.1
but regardless of the device you have it seems like it's dropping on ios 14.1 but not so much
on 14.2 but i'll talk about 14.2 in just a moment now people continue to report that they're having
lagging and freezing now i don't expect to have that on the newest device with an a14 cpu but
enough people are saying that that i think it's an issue now i did not see it on my ipad i really
haven't had any stutters or issues on the ipad so i haven't had that with 14.1 or ipad os 14.1 it's
been really fast and fluid and in fact i've had zero issues with ipad os 14.1 i don't know if it's
specifically just for this ipad pro or not but even the issues i had with the keyboard before not
really working properly in different applications seems to have been fixed so i'm not having that
issue but people do continue to have issues with widgets still you'd think apple would have this
fixed by now but it seems like some of the widgets are still blank for some now i haven't seen that
unless the app was not installed then they'll be blank but really i've had no issues myself with
widgets but enough people are mentioning it that i think it's probably an issue for enough people
now there's two other issues people are mentioning as well some are saying there's home screen color
issues meaning that it's freezing on one color and switching colors which i thought was kind
of interesting i haven't seen any of that now i have been using the iphone 12 pro for about
three or four days at this point and it seems to be okay with that issue
and then others are saying notification volume issues are happening now i did notice that before
on different phones so i did have it where maybe it was hooked up to my car
and all of a sudden it would just go up in volume so i was having issues with that i was even having
that same volume issue with ios 14.2 beta 4. so ios 14.2 beta 4 has been really good in fact many
people are reporting that it has great battery life but as far as weird issues that volume issue
seems to be an issue so i'm not sure what that is but i had it connected to bluetooth through my car
i was just playing music i'd go around a corner and then i'd go maybe another turn and then all
of a sudden it would just turn up i thought maybe it was my car maybe i hit a button but i didn't
it happened multiple times and multiple times it was connected so i'm not sure what that is but it
seems to be a random issue with 14.2 however not many people are reporting issues with ios 14.2
so all of the bugs that you're having with 14.1 seem to be an issue that's fixed in most of 14.2
so hopefully they resolve those issues and we get an update with it soon now as far as battery
issues well there's definitely some battery issues with 14.1 for some people now it really
depends who you are so first let's take a look at ipad os since i've been using that quite a
lot for over a week at this point with the gm and then this version but let's go into the battery
and we'll wait for it here last 10 days you'll see it was last charged today only up to 72
percent but if we go before that i'm getting about 10 hours before i have to charge it
you'll see i'm using it for a couple hours a day or an hour a day this day i used it three hours so
it really depends i don't have to charge this much at all but with the iphone 12
well i've been using it for about four days and i'm getting consistent battery life now
that battery life is going to be specific to this device and will be covered in my review of
the iphone 12 but let me show you what it's like for me anyway so of course battery health in this
device is going to be a hundred percent since it's brand new the last four days let me show you my
battery now i'm at ten percent i'm running battery test to see what this can actually do so at ten
percent here's my usage today 4 hours and 40 minutes i've consistently been getting about five
and a half hours in fact this is missing about 40 minutes of use so 4 hours and 40 minutes of screen
on time three hours and two minutes of screen off time now if you have an iphone 11 pro or an iphone
XR most people get about seven hours with those devices of screen on time between charges if you
were running it all the way down and if that's what you're getting well expect about five and
a half or six hours at least on the 12 pro that's with 5g on of course if i turn that off maybe it
would be better but others have turned it off and they're seeing about the same that also gives me
three hours and two minutes of screen off time now as far as my iphone 11 pro max on ios 14.2
beta 4 well i haven't been using this for a few days but i do have the battery from before so
we'll wait for it here and if we go to the last 10 days you can see where i switch but let's go to
the day before how about this day so the last day i used it full time i got to 50 of my battery used
and had four hours and 41 minutes of screen on time 59 minutes of screen off time that's close to
the 10 to 12 hours i say you normally get with iphone 11 pro max some people are saying they're
getting the 12 hours they would expect with ios 14.2 so i think that fixes any issues with battery
and maybe the iphone 12 and 12 pro will perform a little bit better with that you'll see i'm a heavy
twitter user and youtube and then there's a lot of background photo backups going on
and that has really affected my battery with the 12 pro so i'm hoping maybe tomorrow it gets a
little bit better there has been a lot of of backs backups of photos in fact you'll see it used six
percent the day before it was around 20 so there's a lot going on with that hopefully that's fixed
now as far as release dates a lot of people keep saying when is ios 14.2 coming out since ios 14.2
beta 4 seems to be in its final stages since the build number ends in the letter a it looks like it
may be coming out as soon as this coming week now we don't know that for sure maybe we'll have a gm
sometimes apple will do that before they release the final version with a major update so hopefully
we see maybe a gm and then a final release but i would love to see a final release this week
addressing any issues that it's having and fixing those issues and then giving better battery life
to everyone else i think 14.2 is sort of a milestone build where it's much more stable
fixes a lot of issues everyone knows that the iphone 12s are coming out so they don't have to
really keep that code out of there and they can just release it now it may not come out
until closer to the iphone 12 mini and the iphone 12 pro max which are in a few weeks at this point
or a couple weeks depending on when you're watching this but basically when that comes out
we can expect an update so maybe we'll have 14.3 by then but i think we'll see 14.2
as soon as this week maybe they'll put out a beta 5 but it doesn't seem to be necessary
as it does seem to be very stable on my 11 pro max now before we take a look at the youtube community
poll here are all the issues that were mentioned they could be positive or negative but 141 people
mentioning battery at the time of actually doing the statistics for this video and then also here
are all the devices people are using and you'll see it now includes the iphone 12 and 12 pro so
a lot more devices to come and i think it's great that we're seeing so many people with different
experiences to get all of this information now let's take a look at the youtube community poll
i'll switch over to the well i think the 11 pro max just because i'll run too low on battery
well let's see how low we can get the battery at the end of the video so let's go ahead and go to
the youtube community poll now at the time of this video you can see there's 13 000 votes that have
been placed so i really appreciate anyone that's voted it's really great to get all this data and
you can see there are 423 comments now let's take a look at the poll and then we'll read some of
the comments so 58 of you have said that this is great i went back and looked at ios 14.0.1
and it was only about 50 so that's that's a positive i think it's up from there five percent
are saying it's terrible which is about the same fourteen percent are saying okay but some bugs
seven percent are using ios 14.2 beta 4 and 15 are using ios 14.0.1 or older now let's take a look at
the the comments we'll read maybe 10 of them or so let's go to newest first and jane said it's
working really great and smooth battery life kind of drain a little fast with 6s plus but it's good
the iphone XS max on ios 14.1 the battery life has improved but still having some wi-fi disconnects
from time to time this happens on my ipad pro too wi-fi disconnects happen more on the ipad though
or on my ipad though other than that ios 14.1 is a lot better than the previous version ios 14.0.1
for both my iphone and ipad working good on my iphone 12 pro the only thing i didn't like about
ios 14 is passwords the warning that your password is on the list is useless i would prefer if i
give a notification that the site or app has been compromised
and i'll change my password theoretically all passwords will eventually be on the list
yes it's great like ios 13.7 on my 10s max albert r 915 says it's ok no issues as far as
performance but i'm still having battery drain issues it's better than ios 14.0.1 but nowhere
near as good as ios 14. ios 14 was awesome on my battery life i am on the iphone 11 pro max
yusef says ios 14.1 has been great no serious bugs etc only having some trouble with notices
where it shows one or more but when i'm inside the application it's not there
but the number keeps showing especially with apps like facebook or garageband ash says it's
been pretty good so far on my iphone 12 pro but i think it's too early to make a proper judgment
dileep says still we have battery drain issues on my iphone XS very much disappointed with ios 14.1
isaac said on iphone sc first gen is more stable than before but battery is still my concern
and then finally quad rider honda said using ios 14.1 on 11 pro max battery life has been good for
me and speed coming from ios 14.0.1 by the way love your videos also haven't had any issues and
thank you and so ios 14.1 is really hit or miss depending on what device you're using i think
for the most part it seems to be fairly stable but battery seems to be a concern and 14.2 seemingly
fixes that so i'm really looking forward to apple releasing that like i said hopefully we'll see
that soon and maybe this week i'm really hoping we see it this week but let me know what you think
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 you'll see i'm down to eight percent battery now so i
need to go plug this in 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.
