Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14 beta 3 has been out for well over
a week and a half i've been using it on my iphone 11 pro
max as my main device i've also been using it on my 2020 ipad
pro 12.9 those are my two main devices running
ios 14 and ipad os 14. i've also got it on my iphone XR my
first generation iphone se and then here i have ios 13.6 running
on my iphone 11. so i want to talk about how ios 13.6 has
been whether or not we'll see another version
bugs that still exist things like that and then we'll talk about ios 14 and all
of this information is not only based on my experience but your experience as
well based on well over 15 000 or so votes on the
youtube community poll so since i posted those there has been a
ton of votes now first i want to share with you a new
thing you can do with badges you may have seen this already nine to five mac
posted a story on it but you can make a memoji badge if you
want to do that and so i'm going to share with you a
shortcut i'll paste it in the description if you want to try it out
from nine to five mac and also let me show you how to do this
it's really simple now you want to open up notes and within notes tap on your
emoji keyboard now this works on ios 13 and 14 as long
as you have that shortcut installed then go ahead and pick your memoji now
you'll have to create one of these using messages
and then you'll have your memoji stickers so i'll pick this one
and then we'll tap here what we'll do is we'll press and hold
on our memoji so meaning we'll press and hold using haptic touch or 3d touch
then we'll go to share if you scroll down in your share sheet i have it at
the bottom to run a shortcut apple store emoji
badge tap on that it will open up and it will allow you to
select your first name so i'll type aaron in this case but you can
type whatever you'd like we'll hit done then it's going to ask me
what color apple logo would i like i'll just tap on random
it takes a moment to create it and then what we'll do is when it pops up here
we'll save it to our photos now i will warn you it is a little bit buggy so if
i have do not disturb turned on it doesn't
normally run the shortcut properly in ios 14
but now it's saved and let's take a look at the new badge so you'll see here's my
new badge here with a blue apple icon and so if you
want to create one of those i'll link that shortcut below
now the first thing is with ios 13.6 so i wanted to share a few things about
that because quite a few people are still
running this official version and what most people complain about to
me is battery life but going through all of those different
people that commented on battery life on the community poll
i found that actually 70 plus say that it's as good as ios 13.5.1
or actually as good as any other that they've ever had with ios 13.
so over 70 percent are saying it's good battery however there are quite a few
that aren't and usually the people that are having bad battery life
are a little more more vocal when it comes to that but in general most people
say performance is quite good there are some
bugs with ios 13.6 and i think they'll be addressed with
ios 13.6.1 in the future i was expecting an update
already because apple stopped signing ios 13.5.1
which usually means there's another update imminent but it seems like
we haven't had it yet so i would expect maybe this week we'll see one
you never know what apple's going to do but we should definitely see ios 14 beta
4 this week so if you're having issues with ios
13.6 and can wait hold out for that update i think you'll
find that it'll probably fix those issues it will probably be a small
security slash bug fix update and if one comes out of course i'll post
a video about it but so far most people say it's the most
stable version of ios 13.6 most people are saying everything's nice
and fast and fluid scrolling opening different apps
everything else seems to be working as expected on all devices all old
devices as well now with ios 14 beta 3
well there's still bugs for that and we know all about a lot of those bugs
mostly people are having issues with widgets so right here you'll see that my
weather widget is working fine some people don't have the weather
widget but that usually is on ipad since they sort of removed it
but you'll see it's not updating on my iphone XR
so you'll see i can go into it it gives me real-time weather
but i've got a little stack here i created but for some reason it's not
working on the weather widget of course it's a bug in
you want to report that and feedback and then apple will take a look at that
and hopefully update that with the next beta i would expect they've probably
already fixed it with beta 4 so i look forward to that now as far as
bugs i've been experiencing i've actually had some issues with touch from
time to time it will lag i could go into a menu it will stutter a little bit
or sometimes i'll touch it doesn't work i actually see that more on the ipad
size but i've seen that on my iphone as well
so it could be on any device at this point i'm not sure
what's going on there and of course they disabled 3d touch on 3d touch
devices so maybe there's something to do with touch with that so maybe there's
something odd they made a change to in the code and hopefully they re-enable
that with beta 4. now other people are saying they're
seeing app crashes i really haven't seen that too much
and other people are saying it's freezing or lagging i have seen some
freezing and lagging on the ipad so with ipad os for example i've had
different issues where it would occasionally freeze
it wouldn't respond right and then what i'd have to do is actually do a reboot
or turn it off and turn it back on so i've had to do that a couple times
with this particular device and it's been pretty good but still it
can use some work for sure there's definitely some bugs with ios 14
beta 3 and ipad os beta 3 or ipad os 14 beta 3. now the
majority of issues i've had with ios 14 beta 3 really have to do more with the
touch sensitivity it just not being responsive
and also battery a battery life for me well battery life on ios 13.6
most people are saying is good like i said but on 14 it's not so great
so my battery health on this device is 96
and that's normal for the age of the device and so it's not something that
really concerns me so if you're concerned about it dropping it's just
normal eighty percent after two years is normal it's not the update doing it
it's just the physical capability of the battery
or the lithium ion battery degrading over time so it's just what happens with
batteries now you'll see if we take a look at
yesterday i had three hours and five minutes of screen on
time six hours and 15 minutes of screen off time playing music or whatever i was
doing with that i used 50 of my battery without charging
and that's not great normally 10 to 12 hours is what i say is good
and again apple doesn't really focus on battery early on they focus on getting
the features right getting things working
and then they can optimize those so that the battery becomes better over time and
so you'll see three hours and five minutes is pretty terrible
six to seven hours is really what i'm getting with this beta
and that's not too big of an issue is i can charge it pretty readily or pretty
easily either in my car at home or in my office so it's not that big of
a deal but for those of you that really need that battery life
again don't upgrade to this until you know that you can get sufficient battery
life or maybe you have a charger with you
or a battery case now performance has actually been pretty excellent in fact
most people say performance is quite good
geekbench scores are showing that it's good and even on older devices like this
iphone se you'll see things open fast apps respond
quickly there's no issue there we'll go in to
listen now wait for it to load and then we can just scroll now you'll
see a little bit of stutter as it loads that's pretty typical and
you'll see it's a little bit unresponsive and there's that touch
responsiveness i'm seeing so depending on the device you're on
it's going to give you a few lags or freezes but in general performance
is good when it's not doing that so you'll see if i open the camera
it's pretty quick we can snap a photo quick and it seems to work okay so no
issues there for me with performance most people are saying it's great on
older devices including the iphone 7 8 10 any of those
now as far as what you had to say well i wanted to look at the youtube community
poll now it's the same poll i used before so
let's go into that now you'll see i have the poll here for
beta 3 and also ios 13.6 on ios 13.6 there's 15 000 votes
and 46 percent of you are saying it's great
and only well 10 percent of you are saying it's terrible or
has bugs now 28 percent of you are saying
you're using a different version and 16 are using android if we take a look at
ios 14 beta 3 18 000 people voted so again thank you
if you're voting on these polls it's really helpful to
not only myself but helping you out figure out whether or not you should
install this beta but twenty percent are saying it's great
three percent are saying it's terrible and
eighteen percent are having bugs that's pretty expected and i wanted to talk
about these polls for just a moment some people say i should change what they say
now when i say i'm using ios 13.6 or older
that's pretty obvious but okay but some bugs that just means
everything as far as bugs it's either great it's not great it's almost
unusable or it has some bugs and then android
because i have another option and other people are
actually viewing this that have android and so tell me what you think these
should be in the comments below now let's take a
look at some of the comments because there's 515 comments at this point we'll
take a look at some of the new ones daniel says it has been working pretty
well except after i'm doing the sleep tracker at the morning
something is wrong with do not disturb after my phone is normal with do not
disturb off and bedtime off my phone doesn't receive calls it's
taking the call to voicemail i have to restart my phone to receive
calls and that could definitely be an issue and this is why i say
it's not always a great idea to run a beta on your device if you really depend
on it caleb says iphone 11 and i just don't
like how the widgets aren't interactive and one quick note about
those widgets the widgets on ios 14 update not in real
time but what the developer sets them as so this
weather widget could update every 30 seconds every 30 minutes if they want
it to it's up to the developer hopefully
they'll be interactive in the future so in says i have two major problems 3d
touch control center won't open sometimes need
respring iphone 7 plus and if i mispronounce your
name i apologize but blaze doll says 13.6 iphone X
running great good battery life and performance best version of
ios 13. uday says i'm using an iphone XR the clock widget not working
properly other third party app also sometimes
crashes raphael says i have it on my iphone XS
max still have some bugs and notes and
weather widget also in some apps like pokemon go
and my bank app and i'm hearing that a lot some games aren't working and
banking apps aren't working so if that's important again just stay on the public
version if you're having those issues harsh deep says battery was amazing on
beta 2 easily pushing 12 hours of screen on time
ipad 6th gen beta 3 messed everything up bad
bad battery stuttering all over the place random reboots etc hopefully beta
4 is out soon i am seeing a lot of people say
overheating so jfunnet overheating and bad battery iphone 11
pro max and a lot of people are saying that so
some people are saying it's getting warm just doing random tasks or when it
wouldn't normally get worn before it's speedy says i use iphone 7 and live
in the uk i've been checking for ios 14 beta every
day and it does not appear you have to have the beta profile
installed and you have to be either a developer or a public beta tester
federico says really great on my iphone 7 128
silver but cpu and gpu are so slow than before ranjit says working fine on my
XS with minor bugs the option to remove a widget from the stack seems to be
missing you can only edit it clock timings are not synced new starter
shortcuts added it definitely is more fluid and faster
music widget doesn't refresh recently played and you can't interact
like pause or shuffle etc so that's disappointing
i hope we see that in the future would be much better to be able to interact
with those and then finally ali says bugs clock
widget is not synced with actual time some widgets is not working properly in
widget center performance like scrolling and typing
still needs much work battery performance is not acceptable
and no the last two points are not priority for early betas like i've
stated before now as far as ios 14 beta 4 well i would
expect it probably on tuesday at this point although apple can
vary that from day to day sometimes monday sometimes wednesday but tuesday
is usually the most likely and we should see a beta bi-weekly maybe
up until this point and then hopefully apple switches to a weekly beta
where we'll see it every tuesday or so give or take a day
so hopefully we'll see that and hopefully we'll see ios 13.6.1
or something along those lines to fix any issues we have with ios 13.6
so it's a fairly stable version but it could use a few additional features
to make it just that much more stable so it's okay
it definitely feels old if you're using ios 14
but hopefully we see that new version soon now if you'd like to get your hands
on both of these wallpapers i couldn't decide which one i wanted to use so on
ios 13.6 i used this one and on ios 14 beta 3 i used the one in
my right hand so i'll link both in the description
below and of course if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe
and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks for watching
