hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 4 has been out for
well a few days depending on whether or not you're using the developer beta or
the public beta which are identical they have the same build number
i've been using it on my iphone 11 pro max also my 12.9 inch ipad pro from 2020
these are my two main devices i also have it on the original iphone se
and the iphone 7. so i wanted to talk about how it's been for me how it's been
for you we'll take a look at the youtube
community poll and quite a few people have
very different opinions on this particular beta as compared to previous
betas so this one is great for some buggy for
others so let's talk about the issues i've had
then the issues you've had and so the first thing is
the issues i've had seem to be more touch related than anything
i've had weird delays when i turn on the screen touching the screen seems to
delay it when i'm trying to turn it on and then finally it will turn on if i
use the power button it seems to be a little bit quicker
sometimes you'll see it's very strange and sometimes i need to restart it to
get this to work properly so that's the main issue i'm having that
and touch responsiveness i think they're all related but that's
the issue i'm actually having with this particular one
now also the first time i opened the notes app the new
pop-up came up that told me about the new features and my keyboard showed up
here and i couldn't get past that screen without actually closing the application
and going back in over and over and over so the first time
i opened notes i got that new dialog or pop-up
and the continue button was under the keyboard so i couldn't touch it
and so i actually had to close the application multiple times and then go
back in to get it to work i know quite a few of you had the same
issue so someone said they had that issue it took them three tries to get
past that so it will work but just keep trying so that's a weird bug
and make sure to report it in the feedback app wherever it is on my phone
here it's here somewhere but either way make sure you report it
if you're having that issue also it just has some lag from time to time so i
haven't had any issues with applications photos anything like that
but i have had those lag issues and some people are seeing issues with
say the clock showing the correct time you'll see here it's not showing the
correct time but that's three hours behind so it actually is kind of okay
just make sure it's set to your region but the weather doesn't update in real
time sometimes for people and so i'm seeing that as well but it's
okay for me right now now the issues most of you are saying
you're having are similar issues with maybe the widget's not
working properly you can see on the iphone 7 it's not working properly
the reminders widget just doesn't show data properly
and i've tried it a few different ways and it doesn't seem to work properly
sometimes it pops up sometimes it doesn't
so there's issues with widgets in general and in fact i think apple's
leaving themselves wide open for future opportunities
because widgets don't update in real time they actually just check every
whatever seconds you you set it to it could be every five seconds it could be
every 30 minutes it's up to the designer of the widget
so that's something to note also many people are seeing app crashes now i've
had issues with banking apps for example but many people are having issues with
say call of duty mobile pokemon go instagram
banking apps i haven't had any issues with instagram crashing but i know a lot
of people that are and call of duty mobile just won't play
it doesn't work on my ipad here either so i actually have it here
if i open it up it just crashes every time so you can see that again
if i open that up it will crash every single time so i don't know what's going
on with that but it's definitely an issue
and so hopefully it's fixed in beta 5 but it's again again it's a beta and
it's not out to the public yet so the app developers will have to
update their apps as well now many people are reporting issues
with the camera i haven't seen this myself i can snap photos no problem
whatever i want to do it seems to work okay but some people are having
major camera issues where it just won't work properly it crashes
they can't use it or anything else also many people are saying the keyboard is
unresponsive so where i was having issues with trying
to get past the keyboard some people are just saying
it doesn't work properly at all so it seems to work okay for me but many
people are having issues with it also other than lags and things
like i mentioned people are having lagging
freezing and i'm seeing this more and more based off the community poll and
i'll share with share that with you in a moment a few
people are having issues with respring so the phone kind of rebooting on its
own and also there's a few people saying
airpods don't work when connected and you're making a phone call so
it's a pretty crucial application of airpods and it's not working for quite a
few people so that's sort of disappointing for a
lot of people and so most of the time a hard reboot will fix
that so for example on an iphone 11 pro max
that's volume up volume down press and hold the power button
until the phone reboots and then you'll be back in once it reboots it will work
properly and usually the issues i'm having will be fixed as well i have had
to hard reboot it a couple times but the
interesting thing is there's quite a few people that say it's fantastic it's the
best beta so it seems to be very 50 50 that 50
percent say it's terrible 50 say it's fantastic
but again we'll take a look at the poll in just a moment
now on older devices most people are saying that performance is fantastic so
on the iphone s e most people are saying it's very responsive when it's not
giving lag or having any issues so you'll see again i can open the
camera quickly maybe go into music go back out maybe go into the clock here
and everything just seems to work okay on the older devices
that includes the iphone 7. i know some people were having issues specifically
with the 7 in the past but in in general it seems to be okay
so again if we go into things like the app store we'll let it load for a moment
and once it's loaded it should be okay and fairly smooth
so it's really weird some people are seeing such jarring contrast as far as
that goes again no issues with the camera for me
so i don't know if it's a specific set of apps people have installed
some other apps people are trying but then again my other main used device is
my ipad pro and so my ipad pro here seems to be good
for the most part but again i have those weird touch responsive issues
so here i have the weather which is nice to have but it opens up
the weather and touching the display is sometimes
okay sometimes it's not and it doesn't respond properly sometimes
like i said i can't play games like call of duty on the ipad
and others are reporting similar issues now i'm not too
bothered by this since this is a beta but it is something to note so i don't
ever recommend someone not update to a beta and that's because that's sort of
our duty as beta testers is to report bugs through the feedback app
so you want to make sure you report them through the feedback app let apple know
and then hopefully we'll see a new one soon so as far as a new one coming out
well ios 14 beta 5 i would expect that
probably in a week or so it's hard to say exactly what
apple's going to do so in the past you can see here on the left are the days
that they've actually released betas with ios 12 and ios 13.
so based on that we may have to wait another week so i guess if you need to
do critical things on your phone then don't update but
generally i always say update because well it's sort of something we offer in
return so we get new features we offer feedback that sort of thing but if it's
crucial to you then maybe you should wait so based on that
maybe we won't see an update this coming week but it will be another week but
again apple can change this at any time in fact i already thought apple would
release ios 13.6.1 to devices with 13.6 since there's some bugs and
maybe some security issues so maybe we could see that this
week but based on what they've done in the past
if it's not released this week i'll be fairly surprised by that so maybe ios
13.6.1 this week and then beta 5 the following week but
again apple can change it at any time they could release two in
a week or wait three weeks it's up to them what
they do and they don't actually have a set schedule
so i'm just basing it off previous data that we've had in the past
now battery life on ios 14 beta 4 is at least it feels like it's better than
it was with beta 3 for me so let's take a look at that if we go
into settings go down to battery let's take a look at battery health and
you'll see my battery health is at 96 percent
and battery health does not go down just by doing a beta or installing a beta
it's actually rechecking the physical health of the battery inside the phone
all batteries degrade over time and it's just letting you know what it's at
so 80 after two years is normal if we take a look at the last
10 days you'll see that i've used my phone up to about 50
battery life so if we take a look at yesterday i had 4 hours and 34 minutes
of screen on time 2 hours and 37 minutes of screen off
time since i only used 50 of my battery if i was to use 100
percent i'd get about 9 hours of screen on time
while that's not what i was getting with ios 13.6 i was getting
closer to 10 to 12 hours it does seem to be better than the previous beta as you
can see here where i used between 50 and 75 of my
battery life and i didn't even get four hours of screen on time
so again if we take a look at the previous beta beta 3
i used a little over 50 percent and still got less battery life
so it's not greatly improved but it's definitely a little bit better for me
some people are saying that it's better some people are saying that it's worse
and quite a few are just saying it's about the same but again it's an early
beta so don't expect them to work very much on battery life until closer to the
final release later this year in the fall now here's
all of the issues that many of you mentioned so you can see 84 of you
mentioned battery this is based on the comments that you
left on the youtube community poll only a few people are mentioning heat 25
of you are mentioning freezing and lagging like i said so i've
seen this quite a bit many people are saying that most people
are saying there's no issues with wi-fi lte bluetooth or mail but
occasionally the bluetooth complaints are more around airpods or connected
headphones if they're having issues and the only thing i've noticed is
sometimes it doesn't connect to my car that uses bluetooth and occasionally it
takes a little bit longer than it normally would and then it just works so
most of the time i don't have any issues now here are all the devices you're
using according to the youtube community poll
and i'm pretty surprised to see how popular some of these devices are but it
seems a huge majority of you are using 11 pro maxes
and quite a few of you are using iphone 11s as well so if you'd like to see the
iphone 11 in more videos let me know in the comments below
now let's take a look at the youtube community poll now the community poll
has been out for over 24 hours and you can see 13 000
people voted so i really appreciate everyone that voted
and based on this only eighteen percent are saying beta four is great
five percent are saying it's terrible that's actually higher than last time so
if we go back maybe to the previous poll you'll see
three percent said it was terrible in this poll five percent said it was
terrible and 19 say that you have bugs so 24 are having
issues with it as opposed to about 21 in the previous
beta so more people do seem to be having issues
based on that but 44 percent of you have not updated
and 14 of you are using android so again i
appreciate everyone that voted on this let's take a look at some of the
comments there's 512 comments and i've read just about every one any
that are just new i haven't read but other than that i've read all of them
and that's how i compiled the data from earlier now let's take a look at some of
them brahmi says hello i'm on iphone 11 pro
max and here's what i've been experiencing
delayed multi-touch feedback camera app not working at all
quicktime player freezes in safari i haven't seen the quicktime bug myself
pheasant said i've had a couple of random resprings and app crashes ones
that have never crashed before i still have issues with wi-fi connectivity
since beta 1 and i have to keep toggling airplane mode to reset the modules
iphone 11. akshat kombavi says the battery life of beta 3
wasn't up to the mark but on beta 4 it's back to excellent
but frequent app crashes even the messages app doesn't open
quickly but overall manageable and i apologize if i don't say all
the names properly but kartik says having great experience a lot of battery
improvements and smoothers especially in ipad os and no issues
including widgets so far only issue is ipad as call of duty game
crashes on launch battery might be still improved anyways
this is a beta ernie lopez says my camera was spazzing
out my airpods pro have issues connecting to a call
had the same issue on beta 3 my messages crashed from time to time
using beta on the iphone 10s max tiernan flynn says
battery life is awful and performance is mediocre at best on my iphone 8 plus
128 gigabyte the jess says i'm using the iphone 11 pro max and the update is
pretty okay so far septee and patterson says i've
thoroughly enjoyed it on my se 2016. unlocking the phone is really fast
no crashes or lags doesn't even feel like a beta apple is
doing an excellent job at refining their software
deuce may says notes keeps on crashing every time i edit the text color
iphone 10. eric skoog says running on an iphone 11 pro max
no real issue so far and battery life has been fine
one issue i found is that the input option on facebook messenger disappears
occasionally disappears zion turner says i'm not sure
if i said that right so i apologize pretty much perfect on my 10s max 3d
touch is back and no app crashes everything is smooth so far depaul
gandhi says using on iphone 10 messages widgets are
very buggy battery drain is horrible much
improvements needed martin 10 hoop says much better battery life on my
iphone 11 pro than on the previous betas a few apps are not working properly but
other than that no issues uncle jerry 50th says lots of app
crashing and autocorrect still seems super unreliable for some reason
widgets don't always populate correctly like the news widget loading blank
running on the iphone 10 and ipad pro 2018.
ian says i'm using it on my iphone 10r and overall it's been pretty stable a
few glitches here and there overall it has been very stable
i'll read a couple more christina copeland says
i'm using it on an 11 pro and it's been great so far donald rieby says
iphone 10r running ios 14 beta 4 just some bugs otherwise pretty good
battery and performance is good keyboard doesn't work right when is ios
14 coming to the public i love your videos keep up the great work
stay safe and healthy and thank you and ios 14 should be out
at the end of september or probably october this year since the iphone 12
has been pushed back at least a few weeks according to apple
jared b says it's been fantastic many issues fixed on the iphone 10 are
running like a dream and then christina virum says it's great
on my iphone 11 pro max so ios 14 beta 4 may be with us another
week or so depending on what apple does but
you just never know these days but hopefully we see ios 14 beta 5 this
week instead of the following week let me know when you think ios 14 beta 5
will release in the comments below i'd love to hear what you think based on
previous betas hopefully we'll also see ios 13.6.1 but
again we just don't know what apple's going to do with that but based on them
making ios 13.5.1 no longer able to be downgraded to
we'll probably see something very soon now other than that of course
