hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.7 rc or release candidate as well as ios 15
beta 3 were released this week and so i wanted to go over the overall experience my experience
your experience based off the youtube community poll a few new features and more and before we
get started everything i've mentioned is going to be in the description below in different sections
if you'd like to check that out and jump to a different section that matters most to you also
if you want to discuss this further there's discord and telegram servers as well i'll
link those in the description now the first thing is a new feature and if we go into settings and
then we go down to privacy under privacy scroll down and you'll see microphone under microphone
it's now orange instead of red so they've just made a slight change to the overall design
it's orange instead of red and it's a little bit different now another thing they've changed is
maybe you want to make a backup so that you can move to a new phone maybe you transfer to a new
phone i showed that in settings or you would go to general and then you can go down to transfer
or reset iphone when you get this ready it actually gives you a countdown of 21 days
and thanks to inez for sending this in you'll see it says ready for your new iphone and it says your
data is ready to be moved to your new iphone this icloud backup will be deleted in 20 days now this
happens if you don't have enough storage available in icloud you're not paying for that storage
it will now give you the option to back it up for 20 days it did say 21 days before so that's a nice
little feature they have also one thing i noticed is when you go into your messages and you go to
save a photo there's a slightly new animation so if you go into your messages now in messages if
you tap on the download arrow next to a photo tap on it it will ask you to save the photo
save it once and then if you scroll down and tap on the next one it will save it automatically and
there's a nice little animation and it disappears so that's something new in beta 3 that i noticed
it could have been there in beta 2 but i don't remember seeing that animation so let me know if
you have that already now as far as the overall experience we'll talk about ios 14.7 in a moment
but the overall experience of ios 15 beta 3 has been pretty good over the past few days for me i'm
using it full time on my 12 pro max i also have it on the iphone 11 here and it's been pretty stable
the good thing is i haven't had any lag really or any resprings anything like that scrolling
has been great it doesn't mean it's perfect there are a few issues here and there but that
part has been fixed many people are happy with the redesign of safari so if you go into safari
and go to apple for example under apple the redesign with the bar at the bottom a lot of
people are happy that they've kept it this way or made it this way and it's great to see them
sort of refine it and listen to their audience or their users where we were complaining that
this would slide up to the top before so that's been fixed in this update also people are saying
that carplay seems to be working better and having less issues with messages so that's a great thing
and also people using siri with home are saying that it's better as well so quite a
few people were having issues with siri when you initiate maybe turning off lights or changing
different things using the siri prompts it wasn't working as well now it is so that's a great sign
although there are still some issues some people are saying i've seen quite a few people say that
spotlight search is not working so if you pull down from the middle maybe search for apple and
people were saying it's not working now this could be due to it indexing in the background
trying to figure out where all the files are and then sort of doing the search afterwards
give it a few days if you haven't already and see if that works for you usually it will i had a few
people complain to me at the beginning where it wouldn't work now it seems to be working
one thing i noticed up until this morning is i had a notification badge on the phone app and
for some reason it wouldn't go away when i woke up this morning it was gone but it was there for
it seems like hours and hours and that's true of facetime as well so quite a few people have said
the same thing where the notification badge badge just wouldn't go away so that's something that was
still a problem for quite a few people and also some people are still saying that the music bug is
there so when you play music it would stop after 15 minutes or 15 seconds or so and just not work
properly but this is working fine for me they did fix that in ios 14.7 also airplay seems to finally
be working i can send images between my iphone and the other iphones like this wallpaper for example
i sent it to the different iphones and it worked just fine where before it just would hang and not
work properly i'd have to actually send it from a different device bluetooth definitely seems better
so if you're using bluetooth with your air pods quite a few people had issues with that before
where they would disconnect it seems like it's working much much better now however there are
still some issues and one of those is if you're using a vpn it's crashing for quite a few people
so if you have a vpn setup it's just not working or it won't open or the app crashes or you just
can't initiate the vpn to begin with so that does happen and also some apps are crashing
like twitter over and over now usually this needs to be updated with a software update they'll fix
their app and then it will fix the issue also many banking apps are not working as well so just keep
that in mind if you're going to beta 3. now also quite a few people report that performance is much
better on older iphones i had someone comment that iphone 7 is working great with this update
so here's my iphone 11 and just scrolling is super smooth and performance in general seems to be
pretty good whether that be the geekbench scores or just using it overall many people are saying
that it's much better with beta 2 compared to beta 3. there was a slight stutter there when opening
settings for the first time but overall it seems to be much better in beta 3 and that makes sense
as we get closer and closer to a final release now there is one issue that still remains too that has
not gone away and that's for people with iphone 12 series devices where the black levels seem to
be raised in the background so quite a few people are still experiencing this where it might flicker
and it's present in ios 15 beta 3 but not present in ios 14.7 so the release candidate came out this
week so i would expect a final release probably this coming week i'll talk more about that in a
moment but overall it's been extremely stable ios 14.7 release candidate people say is stable it has
good performance it also stays nice and cool most people do not complain of the phone getting too
hot or overheating and while it will warm up if you're playing intensive games or maybe you have
it charging that's pretty normal for it to get a little bit warm most people are saying that it's
much much better in 14.7 also it has better battery life compared to ios 14.6
only one person in hundreds of comments said that it was bad on 14.7 most people say that it's a
huge improvement over 14.6 with ios 14.7 release candidate which should be the final version so i
would expect that as soon as this coming week that seems to make the most sense ios 14.7 supports the
new background or the new battery pack that goes on the back of the iphone and you need that for
that product and it comes out this coming week for most people that pre-ordered it and so if you're
getting that i would expect it monday or tuesday with a final release if they don't release it this
coming week i would be very surprised so i think we'll see it on monday for the most part now as
far as the green tin issue overall many people are saying that it's still a problem on ios 14.7 and
ios 15 beta 3. so it's still present apple has not said that they've fixed it and i think we'll see
it fixed pretty soon as they did with iphone 11 pro 11 pro max i think we'll see that pretty soon
but green 10 is still a problem in the iphone 12 series devices heating seems to be okay in
15 beta 3 but some people are reporting that it is getting warm and that can affect battery life
it if it is getting warm and processing a lot of things as well so just keep that in mind a few
people are still having issues with bluetooth however it's much much better for me on 15.3
and 14.7 like i mentioned before now as far as ipad os 14.7 release candidate it was super stable
it seems to not be an issue for anyone they fixed most of the issues as you would expect by this
point however ipad os 15 beta 3 has been super stable no issues and sorry about the cicadas in
the background but there's no issues and it seems to be running really great i've had no app crashes
although if you're having issues with apps it's typically banking apps but the overall redesign
of safari and the overall just feel of it is great although there's no universal control yet to use
with a mac that's really what i'm waiting for the one complaint i have is with battery life and
you'll see i had 40 minutes of screen on time 49 minutes of screen off time it was last charged 100
late last night and has barely any usage and we're down to 75
battery life now because i'm outside we are at very high brightness but it should be a little
bit better than it is so i'm usually getting five or six hours of screen on time on the ipad
which isn't too great so hopefully we'll see that improved in the near future now as far as battery
life on the iphone 12 pro max that i'm using full time we'll take a look at it with ios 15 beta 3.
first we'll go into battery my battery health is 97 and i know quite a few of you are concerned
about your battery health going down with updates but it's just recalculating every time that it
doesn't update so don't be too concerned about it i generally don't look at this too much other than
when doing a video now as far as the last 10 days of battery life you can see yesterday this was my
battery life 2 hours and 58 minutes of screen on time 3 hours and 23 minutes of screen off time
and i used about 40 percent of the battery if we go back a day three hours and 29 minutes
one hour and 32 minutes of screen off time usually about six to seven hours of battery
life however i do think it's getting better as the beta has been out a little bit things have
finished processing in the background i expect it to get much much better in the future so that's a
good thing now as far as battery life on ios 14.7 release candidate a viewer cameron sent me in his
screenshots of what his battery life was like on this on a 12 pro max and as you can see he had 12
hours and 53 minutes of screen on time one hour and 31 minutes of screen off time the odd thing
is he used over 100 of his battery so sometimes this shows up that way if we take a look at a
different day where he used about 50 percent of his battery he got 4 hours and 10 minutes
of screen on time and 2 hours and 16 minutes of screen off time so most people are going to get
the 8 to 10 even 12 hours of screen on time using a 12 pro max or an 11 pro for example any of those
or 11 pro max any of those should be working as you would expect so overall these have been pretty
good now like i said already i would expect ios 14.7 this coming week and as far as ios 15 beta 4
i would think that will be coming out probably around the 28th of july generally we're on a
two-week cycle and then we'll go to a one-week cycle where they'll release them weekly up until
the release usually in mid to late september so i would expect that as far as an overall release
now a couple other things to know is the iphone 13 production is already underway so those will
be coming a little bit later with new m1x macbooks as well as well as new imac so we're going to have
all of these different products apple hasn't released along with some new air pods probably
by the end of the year so we're just waiting for apple to release those now let's go ahead
and take a look at the youtube community poll and some of the comments so we'll go into youtube now
at the time of this video you can see there's 18 000 votes so thank you to everyone who voted and
as you can see there's a couple different options this time around where 24 percent of you are using
ios 15 beta 3. 12 percent of you were waiting for the public beta which came out the other day
5 of you are using ios 14.7 release candidate 54 percent of you are on the public version of ios
14.6 or older and 5 of you are using maybe ios 12 on an older device or android it seems pretty
normal compared to what we have generally with beta updates and people running betas
but most people that are running betas are on ios 15 which makes the most sense now let's
take a look at some of the comments now at the time of this video there's 215 comments let's
take a look at some of these now i did get all of the different information such as statistics
and what you had to say and all the different devices you were using based off this youtube
community poll comment section so i've read every single one of these but let's read 5 or 10 or so
let's take a look at some of these here dominic mcelroy says i'm on ios 15 developer beta 3 on an
iphone 12 pro two issues really like you mentioned on one of your previous videos the screen flashes
the odd time when exiting an app and in messages in a conversation with a person when you click on
their name at the top where you you'd usually see photos links and documents these keep disappearing
matt robertson says visual lookup doesn't seem to work on ios 15 public beta 3 possibly because i'm
australian or i'm in australia iphone 12 pro max it's more device dependent as far as i understand
it and it seems to take a while to process that information in photos and maybe show up properly
i really can only get landmarks to work although some people are seeing flowers and maybe dogs and
things like that working barbie says i've been using ios 15 developer beta 3 on my 6s plus
working very smoothly but the system data other is massive and i really wouldn't worry about this
this is handled completely by the software and it's usually something i normally ignore
and just let it handle unless i need that extra storage i really wouldn't worry about it follow
the john says iphone 10s max on 15 beta 3 battery life is better than beta 2 but not much better
the messaging app still freezes on a regular basis quad rider honda says using ios 14 rc on
a 12 pro max and on ipad pro 12.9 2020 with ipad os 14.7 battery is great and performance too love
your videos can't wait thank you daniel mayer says it's going very well for me and hopefully i
pronounced your last name properly the battery on my iphone 11 and apple watch is very good
notify when leaving the apple watch is grayed out greetings from austria ios 15 beta 3 on my iphone
11 it is much stable update and no more issues but the only thing is battery life is worst matrix
roland says ios 15 public beta 3 mostly fixed the data issues i was having over cellular beta 2 was
driving me crazy at least now i don't have to reboot the phone to get it working again i do
occasionally have to toggle airplane mode on and off i still leave private relay off i may try it
later to see if it's working now and for me so far it's not working i turn that off hopefully they'll
fix it in the future and so that's everything with ios 15 beta 3 and ios 14.7 release candidate i'm
looking forward to the final releases and maybe we'll see some more features and changes before
they're finally released with ios 15 but i'm not really holding my breath for split screen
or anything like that but let me know what you think of this overall outside video what you
think of that and also if you like the mic i tried to include a little bit more ambient sound this
time instead of more of a studio sound i'd love to hear what you think about it 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 if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed
