hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech & iOS 12.1 beta 4 has been out for a few
days I've been using it primarily in my iPhone 10s Mac's I also have it
installed on other phones as well such as the 6s plus and my 12 point 9 inch
iPad pro which is what I use everyday as well so it's been pretty good compared
to beta 3 in fact beta 4 has much better battery life for me in particular but I
did a YouTube community poll where many of you voted and we'll talk about that
in a moment where some of you have opposite experiences from me but overall
it's been really smooth if we just scroll back and forth you'll see
scrolling is nice and somebody asked me in a comment this week why do we use
this for determining if something is smooth and the reason it generally is
because in the past this has stuttered or hiccup when you're scrolling the
side-to-side that could be true on iPhones Android phones tablets it
doesn't matter this is kind of used to see if it's nice and smooth all of the
time the folder opening is smooth whether 3d touch everything's nice and
fast as you would expect on this phone now with this I've had better battery
life if we take a look at the battery life altogether let's go down here or go
to battery and of course battery health should be a hundred percent on this as
it's new but you'll see here over the last 24 hours
it was charged to 816 AM or a.m. it was at a hundred percent and then I've had
four hours and 36 minutes and I currently have 25% battery life left and
it's much better than it's been in the past at least on the previous beta if I
go in the under the last 10 days you can see here's Monday and while it looks
kind of similar I had to plug it in quite a bit here so overall I would say
I'm getting about if I was to let this go down to zero I'd probably get over 6
hours of screen on time and this day in particular it did really well you'll see
I had almost maybe 70% battery life here and a lot of time left so it's working
out really well now one thing to know is there was an Apple event announced today
or at least at the time I'm filming this now this event is for new iPads that we
expect iPad pros possibly with USB C which is something I welcome I know not
everybody does but USBC is on the MacBook it makes sense to bring them to
the iPads and the iPhones to avoid regulation in Europe and I know a lot of
people say they'll never do that because they can't charge for it but they
actually can charge for it they do have licensing for USB C devices as well so
that's not really an issue it's more of whether or not they'll actually do it so
maybe we'll see it on iPads this year and iPhones next year it's hard to say
also the iPhone 10 R goes on presale at the time of this recording tonight at
about 3 a.m. Eastern time but that event is at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the
30th so if you're tuning in you can stream that on an iOS device on the 30th
and usually Twitter now it looks like - so be sure to check back for that and
I'll be doing videos on that as well now let's take a look at what you had to say
in the YouTube community poll wait for this to load you'll see 5.9 K voted so
almost 6,000 votes at this point about a day ago 54% of you said it's been great
5% terrible 20% said ok but still some bugs 13% used Android and 8% of you have
disavowed smartphones so I'm not sure if you're viewing this on an iPad or
something else or of course you just wanted to see the results so I've read
every single one of these comments you'll see there's let me go into this
you'll see there is a lot of them they're right here 159 comments and I've
read every single one of them prior to making this video and liked quite a few
I liked all of them I don't know if that's something you'd want me to do but
maybe I will next time but I've liked quite a few that I was going to read but
maybe we'll just pick some random ones here wait for it to go down here and
what I found by reading this is many of you have either the same experience as
me where batteries great everything smooth or you have bad battery it seems
to be hit or miss it's really hard to say who's having bad battery on what
device but you'll see all of these I've disavowed smartphones so no option that
I didn't vote so far I've had great battery life on my 7 plus bugs are
minimal and Geekbench scores have been outstanding I'm really thinking this is
the final build or the next build will be the final and I'm thinking that the
next build we may have another bill and then the final maybe around that
Apple event on the 30th so maybe we'll have a new one around the 21st or 23rd
and then the final around those days but it's hard to say at this point so let's
go and take a look at some others quite a few great see battery's still bad so
okay still some bugs the only bug I have our two that have been here since iOS 11
both are 3d touch related it's talking about refinements from your 3d touching
the calendar app and music with album artwork and I haven't reproduced that
but I'll take a closer look battery life is okay battery life is great or not
great hope they focus on battery life in the future updates because the
experience is great when both performance and battery life are amazing
let's see here just me sometimes shortcuts widgets don't work well now
showing all the widgets in the widgets page are not showing some and speaking
of shortcuts many of you have been asking what am I going to do a video
about that that'll be pretty soon I have done a video about it in the past about
how it works but I'll be doing some shortcut videos soon
10s max sometimes the battery usage doesn't appear settings sometimes hang
for one to two seconds thankfully I haven't had that happen in this one I
did have it hang in another app though but not in settings 10s max is good on
this the first iOS 12.1 beta I've been put on this time around battery is good
phone is good software is good I have an iPhone 10s max I'm still having LTE
issues Apple has not fixed the LTE issue I have it still with this phone and in
fact this is probably the best one to be using to find the bugs because it seems
to be the most buggy LTE is a hardware issue that can hopefully be updated with
software or firmware to fix it or it's related to newer hardware Intel modems
and they're trying to figure out what's going on
so hopefully they've done that by now and will see it in an update but it's
hard to say as they have it on said anything other than that they're looking
into it everything is good so far an iPad pro
12.9 my iPad has been great I've had no issues with it I use an iPhone 10 in the
most annoying bug is the Wi-Fi connectivity it keeps losing the signal
when only one bar goes down especially when streaming videos from YouTube you
may want to check your access maybe there's some weird compatibilities
or reboot it the only painful bug is the LTE agreed
with you on that one this is the second one mentioning a
shortcut app the OS itself has been great but there's a bug with the
shortcut app when asking Siri to perform to shut shortcut requests the app will
sometimes freeze crash or Siri will state there's a problem with the app
maybe that's integration with the app get another LTE issue for terrible they
use android using a note 9 okay and let's take a look at a couple more an
option just show me the results would be nicer possibly but then you wouldn't
necessarily vote I'd rather have people give information so we can help each
other pixel 3xl best in business I don't know I haven't used one yet status bar
sometimes disappears I went back to a rotary phone good luck with that see
here battery life might be a concern on my iPhone 8 plus still some bug's iPhone
10 has been great the bugs I had before seemed to have disappeared although
there's a delay between that and Apple watch buttery smooth I'm on iPhone 6s
plus 10 s Mac's very glitch with things like time at the top distorting a couple
people have said that really good on my 6s hopefully getting iphone 10s soon
that's another bug if you type 10s it doesn't work properly it's really
annoying I'm on 8 + & 6s beta 3 was terrible for me so this is so much
smoother battery is still bad so that's it let me know your thoughts about it in
the comments below and let me know what you're looking forward to it that event
