Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 14.0.1 has been out for quite a while at this
point as well as ios 14.2 beta 2 and so i want to cover a few new features in ios 14.2 beta 2
as well as go over the follow up like i do every week based off the youtube community poll
now the first thing is there is a major battery bug with ios 14.0.1 and watch os 7.
so those particular bugs will drain your battery really fast and apple has actually acknowledged it
and given us a fix but it's not the best fix basically what you need to do is completely
wipe your device and start over again so you would make a backup wipe your device and start over that
should clear out any bugs that you're having with it and should in turn result in better battery
life hopefully ios 14.1 or 14.2 will fix this in the future but that's their current suggestion
which i don't think is great but that's what we have now the first thing that's new with 14.2
beta 2 that i didn't cover in my initial video is actually picture in picture on youtube
youtube has brought it back if you use safari so if you go into safari you'll see here's my apple
watch se unboxing if i hit play we'll just bring the volume down if i make it full screen swipe
up now i've got it picture in picture on my device and i can move it around resize it whatever i want
that's without signing in and without a subscription or anything so that should work
for you they've brought it back which was great it doesn't yet work in the youtube app so hopefully
we'll see that in the future but we don't have it now now the next thing is in the home app
they keep changing the icon for the home so this has been changed a couple times this is the new
icon with beta2 but they do keep changing it back and forth depending on which one you have now also
thanks to my friend steve mosher at mac rumors he actually found evidence of no air pods in the or
earpods rather in the box of the iphone 12 so not only are we not going to get a charger it
looks like we're not going to get ear pods either now i know a lot of people have those but a lot
of people need an extra pair of ear pods because for some people they just don't last that long so
unfortunately we don't have those it looks like we'll have to wait and see what apple does once
they release the phone now also if you're using airpods pro with spatial audio these are just air
pods too but if you have them connected and then you go into your settings let me pair these quick
once your airpods pro are paired you want to go to settings and then you go down to accessibility
under accessibility you want to go down to audio visual and you'll see mono audio once you tap on
mono audio or turn on the switch you'll get a new little dialogue at the bottom that says turning on
mono audio will turn off spatial audio now as far as new features in ios 14.2 beta 2
that seems to be it but there was one i didn't mention in a previous version with beta 1. so
if you triple click or you go to your magnifier app go to magnifier under magnifier you'll now
have a people option now if you're not seeing the people option hit the little settings here
and now you have people detection and under people detection you can judge the distance to people
so if there was someone over there it would tell me how far away they are so it's a really nice
little option if you want to use magnifier maybe measure the distance between someone it will tell
you what that actually is now with ios 14.2 beta 2 there are definitely some bugs especially if
you use whatsapp so for example if you're using whatsapp a lot of people are having issues with
it crashing having issues with audio and messages as well as viewing videos in the app itself
as well as the camera not working so all of these problems that need to be addressed and i think
that's because the app does not comply probably with whatever updates apple put in ios 14.2
so there will need to be an update some people are having it on ios 14.0.1 as well but again
facebook will need to update whatsapp to make it compliant since they own that particular app
so hopefully we'll see that pretty soon but that's the number one complaint i'm getting
also people who are using the clock app are having similar problems so people are saying
that the time is just not keeping up again and that seems to be the case you'll see i have mine
set to cupertino which makes a difference so it's not going to be the same time that you're seeing
here but it's definitely an issue that people are having and then also when trying to add a new
widget people are seeing their widgets blink so if we try and add a widget here a lot of people are
seeing these widgets blink over and over and over and that seems to be a problem for a lot of people
so those are the major issues people are having with ios 14.2 beta 2 and hopefully they'll fix
it in the future with beta 3. however battery life seems to be pretty decent for most people now like
i said with ios 14.0.1 battery life is hit or miss depending on which one we're talking about which
phone most people that are having issues seem to be on iphone 7 for some reason but with ios 14.2
beta 2 most people are having really good battery life or performance now the people that are not
having good battery life generally i think i've found an issue that one of my viewers mentioned to
me over twitter and that has to do with handoff it seems like handoff is using a lot of power so i've
been trying to mess around with this a little bit and if you look for handoff you can just find the
setting by searching it go to airplay and handoff and under handoff if you turn it off now it is a
feature i use a lot but if you don't have a mac or an ipad it makes no sense to have it turned on
but when you have it on what it will do is maybe you're in safari it will pop up on your
ipad or your mac nearby so that you can continue reading where you left off so it's very handy for
certain things i use it for notes a lot but apparently it seems to be draining a lot of
power so hopefully they'll fix that in the future i did notice that it seems to fix the issue so for
me battery life let's take a look at it before we talk about a couple other things and what you
had to say so if we go to battery life battery health you'll see my battery health is at 94
it does go down it's going to continue to go down it's based off the actual physical capability
that's remaining in the physical battery behind the phone so that battery is going to degrade
over time it's just the nature of batteries and i expect it to go down by 90 percent in a few more
months now apple says 80 after two years is normal so 94 is not too bad now if we take a look at the
last 10 days since i turned off handoff yesterday we'll see that i had four hours and three minutes
of screen on time one hour and 38 minutes of screen off time that's using fifty percent of
my battery life so that's actually okay it's not great i'm expecting better battery life today
in fact you'll see i've only used about thirty percent and i'm at three hours and thirty minutes
and two hours and six minutes so it's doing much better so handoff does seem like it made
a difference so if you're having issues keep that in mind now with ipad os i really haven't had any
issues with it it's been really smooth and i've been using on ipad os 14.0.1 because the beta gave
me a charging issue with the ver the first version which does seem to be fixed with the second
version but just in general i need my ipad to be fairly stable so i do have it on an ipad air 2 but
on my ipad pro this is running the public version and it's super fast i haven't had any issues
and let's just take a quick look at battery since i actually haven't looked at it since
we don't have battery health for this device but over the last 10 days you'll see that i don't
charge it every day but i'm using it for about an hour so every single day with the screen on
and then there's some screen off time as well although i'm not sure what that is with this
particular device since i don't use it like that but you'll see i'm at 49 battery life right now
and there is no battery health like i said but the battery life here is 49 and it's holding up well
and i've used it for about four hours or so so 10 hours is normal it just depends what you're doing
you'll see 52 percent of my time is on youtube now most people were saying performance is really good
no issues with that no issues going back and forth between apps opening different apps having them
load they seem to be pretty good scrolling and everything else seems to be decent so most people
are not having issues with that and in fact here's all the issues that people were mentioning based
off the youtube community poll and you can see whatsapp was 14 different times it was mentioned
battery was mentioned usually for ios 14.0.1 or people saying that it's better but in general
it seems like those are the main concerns with these updates now here's all the devices people
are using based off the community poll and then also we're still waiting for the next update in
fact the other day apple stopped signing ios 14. so what that means is there's probably an update
imminent so i would expect a new update this coming week maybe tuesday or wednesday where we'll
see an ios 14.1 or maybe 14.0.2 depending on what apple does it seems like you would see ios 14.1
and then maybe an announcement for the apple event where they're going to show off iphone 12 because
we've been waiting for that we think that'll come out on the 6th of october where they'll send out
invites for maybe an event the following tuesday so or monday so let's wait and see what they do
with that but i think we're going to see an update this coming week so expect that however i would
not expect ios 14.2 beta 3 unless apple changes it because i think we're on a two-week cycle at this
point i wouldn't expect beta 3 for that another week or so so hopefully we have them for a couple
weeks and we get that final release where things are a little bit more stable for a while and then
ios 14.2 gets all the bugs worked out and then we're good to go so hopefully that's what we see
now let's take a look at the youtube community poll now the community poll's been out a little
while it has 7.7 k votes at this time or 7 700 votes and 17 percent of you are saying that it's
great four percent of you of you are saying it's terrible seven percent are saying okay
but some bugs and 62 percent of you are still on ios 14.0.1 and 10 of you are on an older version
if i go back one and we take a look at the 14.0.1 poll 26 000 people voted and only 5 percent said
it was terrible out of the people that actually updated so the number is a little bit higher if
you do the math here but basically only 50 percent of the people that voted said that it was great so
apple definitely has some work to do on that now let's take a look at some of the comments modif
or mud said had a terrible battery experience with ios 14 so downgraded to 13.7 on my iphone 11
couldn't be happier waiting for ios 14.2 public release to jump ship and it seems like you did
it just in time since apple's no longer signing even ios 14. so it must have been a couple weeks
ago when you did that alistair said only issue i'm still having is wi-fi and data connectivity
thankfully i haven't had an issue with that but i have seen a couple others only about three people
mentioned it though alex detmer said i'm using an iphone se second generation and i'm having a
problem where my bluetooth earbud is connected but the icon in the top right isn't showing matthew a
said ios 14.2 beta 2 on my 11 pro max i've had no issues at all and battery has been great 11 plus
hours and that's what you should be expecting from an 11 pro max 10 to 12 hours let's take a look at
another one here and curtis clark says unable to view videos from whatsapp i'm using an iphone 6s
t hayes says so far it's awesome on my iphone 7 currently no known or no issue for me to report t
wycle says iphone xr had some minor connectivity issues and once the camera ui flickered until
i took the photo also had a weird bug that when siri replied to my request like send a message to
her voice was dramatically slowed and in the other parts of the ui she sounded normal silver
boy said way better battery life on my iphone xs max favorite tech x says iphone se 2016 battery
life better than ios 14.0.1 and performance is great mike v says i'll need to get on it if you
want notifications during calls to work again i've heard this from a couple people saying that calls
when you're making a phone call you no longer hear any additional notifications personally
i would see that as a feature but i guess there should be an option for it to turn it on or off
chavez 1909 says it seemed that the battery life greatly improved on my iphone X.
and we'll read one more it says the seal says on my iphone 11 pro max ios 14.2 beta 2
is much better than ios 14. much stable buttery or battery life is great i like it
i hope the final version to be much better thumbs up Zollotech for great videos and thanks very much
and so that's it for ios 14.2 beta 2 and ios 14.0.1 like i said before
i think we'll see an update this coming week so look i'm looking forward to that
as well as invites from apple to their next event so of course i'm looking forward to the event and
iphone 12 but let me know what you're looking most forward to in the comments below if you'd
