Hi, everyone.
Aaron here for Zollotech and today Apple released iOS 14.1,
and then they released iOS 14.1 GM.
Now let me explain myself a bit,
because this is a little strange what Apple did now earlier today,
Apple released iOS 14.2 beta three.
I did a video on that on my iPhone 11 pro max.
And then after that they released iOS 14.1,
but only on their developer site. And you couldn't download it over the air.
You could download it if you're a developer and then install it using a
computer,
but there was no beta profile later on Apple pulled that update and then they
rereleased it as iOS 14.1 GM.
And that's what I'm running here, GM.
And the one they released earlier are the exact same,
but you need a computer still to install it.
So the odd thing is you'll need to download it from the developer website,
then install it using finder or iTunes on a Mac or iTunes on windows
as well. There is no beta profile,
so there's no way to go to this without a computer currently.
Now that could change tomorrow, but right now there's no way.
Now this particular update, because you had to download,
it came in at six gigabytes on my iPhone, 11 pro.
It also came in at five gigabytes on my 20,
my 2020 iPad pro 12.9 and also came in at about five
gigabytes for the iPhone six S plus, which I still haven't installed it on yet.
This particular update is a public release that should be coming out,
hopefully as soon as tomorrow,
but Apple may wait until iPhone 12 launches in order to push this out.
So it's a little strange that they did this,
but let's go ahead and take a look at the build number.
You can see the build number is 18 a eight three nine five.
Now this has an extra digit compared to what we've had before.
Normally we would have a letter on the end.
So maybe this isn't the final public release that they'll release to the public
either tomorrow or in a couple of weeks when iPhone 12 comes out.
So this is a bit of a mystery, why Apple did this,
but there are a couple of different things in it.
The first one is it does have a modem update, at least for the iPhone 11 pro,
and it should help with connectivity as did iOS 14.2 beta three.
They both had updates and they're different modem updates.
So you will have one here now, as far as anything new, well,
most people have not been able to find anything new.
There's not a whole lot going on.
So what that makes me think is this is actually a release.
That's going to be a major bug fix release,
but it also adds code for things such as the iPhone 12. So for example,
if we go into settings and then we go to wallpaper under wallpaper,
choose a new wallpaper, and there's no new wallpaper for my iPhone, 11 pro,
but if you had an iPhone 12, it would show up.
So there are some people that have posted these wallpapers it's in the code and
ready to go, but they didn't post the iPhone 12 pro wallpaper.
So maybe that will be coming later with a future iOS 14.2 update.
They didn't put any of that in there.
Now there are a couple other things that you can't see.
And one of them has to do with the ability for home kit to actually detect smoke
alarms. So within the home app,
there will be the ability to detect smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms and
alert you through a home pod. Now with home pod,
there were some new features launched today with the home pod mini,
such as an Intercom.
That code is here too where you can actually use your phone to talk to Siri and
tell it to make it an Intercom to talk throughout your house,
wherever your home pods are,
that will also relay to devices such as your Apple watch I pads and
iPhones throughout the house.
So that code is in here and it's an iOS 14.2 betas as well.
Now there's also code regarding iPhone 5g.
So under cellular you'll have the five G option and that will be coming out
hopefully soon with the iPhone 12, as far as anything else, new,
there are no new emoji in here, and there's no notes from Apple about this GM.
Normally there's some notes telling us what's new and I've not been able to find
anything significant. In fact, I looked around playing the song here.
So let me turn the music down and we'll play the song, press and hold.
And you'll see that we don't even have the album art in the,
the control center like we do on 14.2. So if I long press, you'll see,
we have album art and suggestions. If we're not playing a song,
if I play a song, it switches to the album art. That's on 14.2 beta three.
They haven't updated that with 14.1, At least this particular GM build.
You can see, I still have the gap here, home kit apps or home kit controls,
and that will switch back and forth based on when I go home or go to the office,
they sort of fill in. I always thought it was a bug,
but I've just kind of learned to live with it for now,
along with the things you can't see,
Apple apparently fixed all of the same things with iOS 14.1 that they did with
iOS 14.2 beta three.
So what that means is for those of you that were having issues with WhatsApp
before with videos, apparently that's fixed particular update.
So that's good news. It wasn't an issue with WhatsApp,
but rather an issue with iOS itself. So thankfully, whatever that was,
should be resolved,
it could have been a permissions issue or something along those lines.
Aside from that many people ask me is 4k, YouTube working.
And I wasn't able to get it working in this particular update.
So I went in and played a couple videos.
It just didn't show the highest the solution I had was 10 ADP.
So it seems like YouTube is giving that sometimes to people.
And then other times it's disappearing. Hopefully we'll see it in the future.
We'll have higher resolution Ola led displays with iPhone 12,
just like we do with the 11 pro. So maybe a 1440P option would be great,
but either way we'll have to wait for YouTube to update that.
Now with the iPad pro with iPad, OS 14.1,
there's nothing really major that I've found.
There may be some small tweaks here and there,
but basically it looks again like it's a bug fix update.
Now once Apple releases iOS 14.1 GM,
and they give us a list of what's actually changed. Of course,
I'll make a follow up video and let you know exactly what's going on with it.
But as far as iPad, OS 14.1. Yeah, well,
it doesn't seem to have anything new in it.
There may be some slight changes to wording with privacy and other places.
Nothing else exciting.
As far as performance while on the iPad it's working really well.
It's nice and fast and smooth,
and hopefully it works a little bit better than it did before.
I had some issues with my keyboard on my iPad pro with iOS 14.0
0.1. So using the magic keyboard before sometimes the keyboard wouldn't work
properly, so I'd have to reboot the device and then it would let me type now,
as far as performance on iOS 14.1 again,
and expect it to be nice and fast and fluid.
I don't really expect any compromises shoes, any freezing.
Hopefully there'll be some great updates with this and we'll see battery life
improved and fixed.
Now I did run a geek bench on this particular version using geek bench five,
and I scored 1,336 seven for single court,
3,478 for multi-core. If we take a look at the history,
you'll see that. Well, if we find the right date here based off of, well,
you have one from last year, it's actually running about the same,
a little faster for single core,
a little slower for multi-core based off of what we had with 13 iOS 13.
And so it's actually doing okay.
So let's take a look at it on the iPad and on the iPad again,
using geek bench five, I scored 1,121 for single core,
4,617 multi-core. And again,
you can see it's on iOS 14.1 there.
So it's pretty good as far as performance.
And it's only been a couple hours since it's been installed.
So hopefully it will get even better as I use it more. The other day,
Apple released watchOS 7.0.2 with a battery fix.
And I'm hoping that fixes an iOS 14.1 also,
but it will take a few days to know that for sure.
So the actual update using it regularly,
it's going to take a few days to see what it's like,
and if it's actually going to drain the battery like it did before,
I'll be able to tell you that for sure,
my iPad as my iPad is a device I use all the time.
So if we go into the battery on my iPad, wait for it to load here,
and you can see that here. I don't charge this every day,
but if we go to the last 10 days,
you'll see a quarter of my battery was used and I had three hours and 49 minutes
of screen on time, one hour and 12 minutes of screen off time.
You'll see I had an hour the next day,
three hours and nine minutes the next day.
And then I do charge it from time to time. So you'll see today.
It says it was charged right when it was plugged in and actually updating.
But normally I don't charge this every single day, all day long. So again,
it will take a few days to know for sure.
I use it a lot for YouTube and hopefully we have great battery life.
And of course, I'll be following up with you to make sure that we do.
And if we don't, we'll report it to Apple, even though this isn't a beta.
Now I'm looking forward to all the new Apple updates with iPhone 12 and iPhone
12 pro and pro max and the new mag safe accessories should be interesting.
One thing to know is that they do snap on magnetically on the back and they'll
charge at 15 Watts with fast charging.
As long as it's using that MagSafe connector.
You can still use it with G wireless charging, but it won't charge at 15 Watts.
It'll charge at 7.5 Watts and it will slow everything down.
And that's because the alignment isn't perfect. So using the mag safe,
it will snap to it and be aligned properly. And then of course,
home pod mini and all of these things.
And let me know if you want to see a separate video about all of the new
announcements, maybe a day later,
and see what we think about it after sort of the hype has gone.
And let me know what you think about that in the comments below. Of course,
if there's anything else new that we find in the next day or so,
I'll make another video. If there's significant updates, if not,
I'll just put it in my followup video later this week,
when I usually do those on the weekend,
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
I'll link it in the description below.
And if you'd like me to link the other wallpapers for iPhone 12,
I think I'll link those below. I don't need to ask.
So I'll link those below and you can get those as well.
If you haven't subscribed already though, 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.
