Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15.3 has been out for a few
days to the public and i wanted to share its overall stability
any remaining bugs battery life and whether or not you should install it if you haven't already
now i wanted to share my experience but also took information from the youtube community poll
that's going on right now and you can see at the time of this video there's 15 000 views and 369
comments i looked at every single one of these comments took all of the information from that
and compiled that into a list of issues that might be ongoing how its stability is and more
and then looked at all of the battery life that you mentioned whether that's good the same or
bad and compiled that into sort of a statistical lookup to see what percentage say it's better or
worse so i've looked at every single one of these comments a lot of great information here so i can
give you the most accurate picture of how 15.3 is for most people now the first thing is stability
overall on the iphone i was using it for a day or so on the 13 pro max and then 15.4 beta 1 came out
and i'll talk about that probably in a separate video but as far as 15.3 is concerned it's been
very stable according to most people i have it on my iphone 13 pro here that's the main operating
system on this device and stability wise it's just rock solid compared to previous versions in fact
many people say it's the best version of ios 15 that we've seen in a long time this is more like
14.6 or 14.7 when it comes to stability according to most people so whether that be smoothness on a
pro motion display smoothness is even better than it was before just when you're scrolling
and the overall experience seems to be pretty solid so most people are saying the exact same
thing there are exceptions to this and i'll talk about that in the bug section of this
video a little bit later but generally it seems to be quite smooth whether you're scrolling
loading apps and everything else so that looks like they've really nailed performance
and it doesn't really matter the device that you have here it can be older such as an iphone 7 7
plus or an iphone 10s max that i have here so just scrolling again seems to be pretty smooth and in
general is a good experience so that's great news as far as cellular connectivity well that seems
to improved for most people as well on 15.3 so 5g occasionally gives some issues with 5g switching
and they did improve that in 15.4 but again i'll mention that in another video but switching
between 5g 5g uc and things seem to be much better on 15.3 so they're really hopefully getting that
correct even on intel modems it doesn't seem to be a problem for most now battery life many people
are concerned about that and the good news is for the most part it's much better for most people
now ryden on the comments said that battery was the same as 14.8.1 on his iphone 10s so that's
good news if you have an iphone 10s or 10s max it seems to be improved also a user commented on
that comment darth sidious replied and said they have a 10s max and it's almost as good as 14.8.1
so that's a really good sign that users are commenting saying that they're having the same
experience as earlier versions for those that were concerned about updating but want to gain
security and features so it looks like it's a great update when it comes to the statistics
based off of the user community poll or the youtube community poll 107 people commented
about battery regarding 15.3 and based off of that 73 said battery is the same or better than 15.2.1
but most people said it was better 78 people said that 27 say battery is worse so 29 people said
that it was worse so that's a pretty good number of people saying that it's better in previous
15 or ios 15 updates about 50 percent were saying that it's better now we're in the 70 range i also
want to share with you my battery life so we'll go to battery and battery health i'm at 100 and
i did have someone ask if i could share battery health on older devices that i have so if we go to
battery on this 10s max it's at 99 this has been used by my daughter for about six months or so
and it was charged every single night now if you followed me for any amount of time you'll know
this is the phone that actually fell into water and then apple replaced it because the water got
through into it and they actually did not cover that damage so it fell into about two feet of
water for all of 30 seconds or less and it damaged the phone however they replaced it and it has 99
since i used it for a little while after that and then after that time it actually was put in
storage and then was used by my daughter for six months it's been on the charger every single night
since and is down to 99 capacity it's also been wireless charged on a 7.5 watt wireless charger
so for those of you wondering how i charge i just put it on the charger at night or when
i'm in my car now as far as battery life that i've experienced well on wednesday the update came out
and i had 4 hours and 18 minutes of screen on time 14 hours and 54 minutes of screen off time
and used about 60 percent of my battery that's not very good and that's because the update came out
it's processing a lot in the background and takes a day or so to settle but then the next day the
beta came out and i switched to that so i wanted to get some more accurate information and thanks
to cameron for sending this in he's running it full time on his 13 pro max and you'll see today
he's had one hour and 55 minutes of screen on time at 31 minutes of screen off time and used about 10
of his battery or so maybe 20 but not a whole lot more like 10 the day before 8 hours and 57 minutes
of screen on time 2 hours and 43 minutes of screen off time and you'll see about 75 maybe 80 of its
battery so it's doing quite well he's getting the 13 hours of screen on time you would expect with
this up to 14. so really really good for most people now of course it's only been out for a
few days people have updated background processes are still happening so it still can improve for
more people but at this point it seems to be a pretty stable update for the majority of people
not everyone but if you are having problems i recommend you just do a hard reboot by maybe on a
newer device volume up volume down press and hold the power sleep wake button it will hard reboot
once it reboots let go of the button and you're good to go so that typically fixes it for most
people but the majority of people are saying it's better when it comes to bluetooth mostly it's good
i had one person say that they have airpods with issues with their airpods 3 where they
had to actually reconnect their air pods to their device and it looks like well it's not
connecting there we go it showed up and this is on a different version so let's take a look at
15.3 and you'll see it actually connected on 15.3 quicker if you saw in the background
so it looks like it's okay for me but some people were having connectivity issues one other person
said they were having a problem with airpods but that's out of all of those comments so it looks
like bluetooth is pretty solid for most a few people did say that wi-fi had some issues whether
that was dropping or they weren't able to connect at all now the problem with that is we don't know
what router they're using whether it's specific to the router maybe apple changed something that that
router doesn't like but most people say it's good there were only two comments saying that it wasn't
so that's a pretty good sign as well but again that could be a problem and i wish i knew what
those routers were whether it be cisco or what linksys and cisco or netgear or maybe
eero or something else we just don't know but it could be a problem with a specific router type
when it comes to heat and performance well performance i mentioned was good overall most
people are saying the heat of the phone meaning it getting hot is much much better it stays cooler
longer it's not ramping up the processor to do tasks in the background and while apple has not
fixed the music bug that causes that problem it seems in this update it still stays cooler for
most people some people did say that when you're charging it gets a little bit warmer but that can
vary greatly depending on the case you have how fast you're charging it what charger you're using
but typically the phone itself manages that so it should keep itself cool so it doesn't damage the
phone or the battery as far as ram management meaning you have different apps open at once
that seems to be good according to most people i haven't had any issues whether you're opening
music then going back into it going into youtube having it reload of course i didn't open it on
this phone but i did on the other one so if i go into youtube you'll see it's still loaded
many people are saying that it's better so people called it out specifically which is a good sign
also carplay seems to be better for most people so those having issues with carplay no longer
seem to be having that issue there's going to be exceptions with playing music and it depends
on the car and how it's compatible with whether it's a bmw mercedes audi or it could be a honda
toyota anything running carplay that can be a compatibility issue but most people are saying
it's better where they had problems before so that's a good sign hopefully apple sorts this
out in the future now there are remaining bugs in this update and the first one is occasionally
people were experiencing lag so whether that's on an older phone whether it's a 10s max or something
else lag seems to be a problem for a couple people but like i mentioned earlier if you reboot
it seems to take care of that problem so when you go out of this maybe we'll go over here we'll go
down to camera let's see how fast that is to open it's pretty quick it's not amazing but it
isn't the latest phone either so depending on what you're going into can make a big difference when
it comes to this so if we go into maybe safari loading websites in safari seem to be okay if
we go to iphone 13 pro seems to be fine now not everyone like i said is experiencing that some
people are having an issue but in general most people have no problems whether that be an ipad
or anything else with performance and everything like that i did notice the screen sort of being a
little bit slow but that's a known issue on this ipad mini the latest ipad mini has that issue so
if you have that that's related to the ipad specifically where it just has a sort of display
that can lag kind of when you're looking at it but in general performance and heat are great
but that lag is there for some people however as far as apple id or icloud issues a few people said
they were having problems this week and that's because apple was having issues with icloud
or their storage online so if you're having issues with your apple id icloud any weird issues those
should be resolved now but some people were having those and it seems to be a problem on
the apple side with their servers that should be resolved so that should be better for you now now
notifications seem to be a problem where they're not making sound for some people so this seems to
be a continual issue where they just won't make a sound sometimes it could be a random app not doing
that that seems to be a problem that isn't fixed even on 15.4 that music bug is still there also
someone said that when they go to play a song it will skip a couple of songs and then start playing
and after they mention that i actually remembered that i had that issue and i thought it was
connectivity but apparently it was a bug so if you go to play a song in music sometimes you hit this
it will go to two two different tracks forward in the specific album so it seems to be an odd
issue but i did experience it on 15.3 also that music bug where it can use additional power when
you're actually streaming music streaming whether that be lossless or something else i'm not sure if
it's related to that but that can cause battery drain but for most people as long as you're not
streaming music it's not a problem hopefully it's resolved and they'll mention it in a future update
home pods were also causing an issue for some people and it looks like that's been resolved
for most people so if you have a home pod and you are streaming to it with the latest 15.3 update
on your homepod it should be fixed so hopefully you're seeing that as well also that pink screen
issue someone said is still there they had their phone sort of reboot go to that pink or purplish
screen the phone reboots or resprings and then comes back to life so that's there and of course
that storage bug is still there i showed that in the video so if you go to your storage sometimes
it just doesn't load it can take 30 minutes and it won't load now i think the reason apple
hasn't fixed this yet is they were trying to fix more critical bugs to the usability of the phone
storage not showing is just storage not showing so it's not a critical function of the phone
but it is something that needs to be fixed now it's loading a little bit slow on this
the icons aren't there yet but it is showing here on this iphone 13 pro there we go the the icons
finally loaded so there's definitely some odd bugs there and of course this still remains in
15.4 so we can re report that in the feedback app there now like i said i'll cover ios 15.4
in a separate video but i also want to mention that if you were looking forward to face id
on your phone i've gotten a lot of questions about this on 15.4 you can use your phone with a mask
without using an apple watch with face id that's only available currently on an iphone 12 and newer
or 12 pro max or whatever you have and newer it will not work on an iphone 11 or 10s max or any
of those with face id whether or not that has to do with the neural engine and something like that
whether it can process more information more efficiently we don't really know apple hasn't said
but they also haven't officially said that it's related to specific phones so in future updates
of the beta it's possible it could work on other devices but we'll have to wait and see what they
do with that as far as the community poll goes i want to take a look at some of those comments
but let me refresh here and you'll see at the time of this video we are still at 15 000 votes or so
75 percent of you are on ios 15.3 10 of you are on the latest beta of 15.4 beta 1. 10 are still
on ios 15.2.1 or older 2 percent are on 14.8.1 or older and three percent are on older versions
than that i did not have room to add android here i'll be adding that in the future since 15.3 we're
pretty much done with that and we'll move on so we'll have room for that but thanks to everyone
that voted and commented now let's sort by newest first i'll read about five to ten of these
hopefully i pronounce this properly you'll see kata chef and reddy said i'm using an iphone 10
i'm facing a little lag and low performance other than that 15.3 is good battery performance well
dot dot dot so i'm not sure if he's saying it's about the same but either way it seems to be okay
if you're having that lag like i said reboot and hopefully that resolves it vessel and trifonov
says hi aaron i've been using ios 15.3 on my iphone 12 pro since it was officially released
no issues so far good battery life meninder joe hall says using iphone se 2020 storage
bug is still there even with ios 15.3 alex said battery life is way better on my iphone 12 pro
i was getting 2.5 to 3 hours of screen on time on previous versions and now get over 4 hours which
seems low but definitely an improvement abdullah sz said i updated my iphone 10 to 13.5 and now i'm
not able to connect to my 2.4 gigahertz router and had to change to 5 gigahertz i've reset my iphone
network settings though but still everything else works fine trini ice queen said iphone 11 pro and
ipad pro 2018 battery seems normal to me i'm an educator so i use teams on my ipad and phone to
teach and share videos documents etc i probably end up charging twice a day dexter hr said 10s on
15.3 it's good for now in fact i experienced zero issues with all 15 versions that's pretty rare
battery life is decent although it seems that it was a bit better on 15.2.1 can't wait for 15.4
read that apple will implement face id with a mask on 12 and newer devices i hope this won't be the
case and we'll get it i'm going to get that great feature and i hope they do implement it on other
devices as well and again they haven't said that they won't it just currently is on those devices
nilesh palmer said iphone 11 much better performance and battery life eric rodriguez
says iphone 10 music bug and storage bug is gone battery is okay i get about a day with
20 minutes during my lunch with a wireless charge and using powerbeats pro as my headphones and a 76
battery health device and it might be time to change your battery pretty soon usually when
you get below 80 percent just keep keep an eye on it whether or not it tells you you need to
susan graham says no bugs at all just smooth sailing on the iphone 13 pro max chris s said
15.3 on my 12 pro max running well no apparent glitches so far a little early to determine better
if battery life is better or worse but should get better determination over the weekend zephyr said
battery's been stellar compared to 15.2.1 and so that's everything with ios 15.3 hopefully it's
much better for most people and if it isn't yet battery probably will improve over the next few
days as you continually use it and processes finish in the background let me know if you're
having any additional issues though i'd love to hear from you in the comments below and of course
i'll have a separate video about ios 15.4 as there's more features to cover and more to go over
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
