Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.7 has been out to the public for a few days now
and also ios 15 beta 3 has been out for a week and a half or so and so i wanted to go over it
give it my full review as far as ios 14.7 since it's finally out to the public talk about the
youtube community poll the comments and more and the first thing is this week apple released new
firmware for the airpods pro now this is in beta and i wouldn't recommend normally installing it
people were asking me where is my video on this and the reason i didn't release one is it's not
easy to install so not only do you need a profile what you need to do is go to your settings go to
general then you'll go to your profile and you'll see here's the airpods profile now this profile is
unfortunately not the only step what you actually have to do is go on a mac and then use xcode to
actually install this so it's not a simple process and i wouldn't really recommend it to most people
so there's not really anything new as far as the airpods go and it's not worth installing unless
you need to develop for them specifically right now maybe in the future there'll be some updates
for that as well now the next thing is spatial audio it's finally available in india so for
those of you that have been messaging me saying that where is spatial audio well it's finally
here and available in india as well it's rolling out if you don't have it already you should start
seeing it soon and it sounds great if you haven't heard it i would highly recommend you check it out
now as far as a couple new features i want to go over first is if we go into photos someone
sent this to me when they were restoring their phone on ios 15 beta 3 it says restore
in progress an estimated 400 megabytes will be required to finish restoring your apps and data
this shows up which is really nice it gives you an idea of what's going on and it's just more
information if you're restoring your phone so that's something that's new in ios 15 beta 3.
also something i mentioned before is in weather so if you go into weather and under weather if you
scroll down scroll down to the map or temperature here under the map one thing to note is if you go
under precipitation and you see the forecast at the bottom this is based on your zoom level
depending on your zoom it actually goes to a 12 hour forecast or it can actually go to a different
forecast so maybe we'll go into Charleston here and it gives you the next hour forecast so it's
very dependent based on what zoom level you're at this is something that's a little bit new now
another thing that's new in ios 15 beta 3 is a new splash screen so it's not really any new feature
but for some reason when i went into reminders again it presented another splash screen i've
seen this before but then it popped back up and it says organize with tags optimize with smart lists
and lots more so that's something that's new but not really exciting and i'm not sure why it's
showing up again but it's there now as far as ios 14.7 well that's been out for a little while now
and i've been using it as a release candidate and then a final version and it's been really
great and a lot of people are saying that performance is much better than ios 14.6
whether that be on the latest phones or on an older phone people with iphone 6s plus 6s or
7 are saying that performance in general has been improved from 14.6 to 14.7 which is a great thing
however there's still issues with it such as playlist issues maybe not showing a proper count
as far as the overall playlist and also music is glitchy when the history doesn't update for some
reason so the history was supposed to be fixed sometimes it just doesn't update as you would
expect also unlock with apple watch isn't working for some maybe you're using a mask for example
and trying to unlock your phone using your apple watch for some people that's not working and
that seems to be more on touch id phones so if you have a touch id phone and it's not working
apple is aware of this and it looks like they're probably working on ios 14.7.1 to remedy this
so whether or not we see this within a couple of weeks is hard to say but i would expect some sort
of update as far as ios 14.7 since that's still a problem out there so that's definitely an issue as
far as ipad os 14.7 it's been pretty good so i'm using it on the ipad air 4. it seems to be nice
and fast performance is pretty good and battery life seems to be decent overall there's not really
any differences apple did release it a few days after ios 14.7 for some reason but ipad os 14.7
has the same features everything that's exactly the same except for the usbc c to 3.5 millimeter
headphone jack or adapter that's been fixed that's the only thing different in ipad os otherwise it
performs great works great on older devices and really has no issues for most people so it seems
to be a pretty solid update now as far as ios 15 beta 3 and using it over the past week and a half
i've been using it on my main phone i'll talk more about battery life on both devices in a moment
the number one complaint is spotlight search not working so when you go to search maybe
you're searching an app and it's not working it's working fine for me if i search for apple
and hit go you'll see that it's finding the different apps and things like that so it is
working fine for me but not for everyone for some reason so that's the number one complaint now
some people have said that car play is an issue with ios 15 beta 3 still it could be issues with
the gps not working properly through the car and specifically someone mentioned honda and then also
just music not working as you would expect so there's definitely a ways to go with ios 15 beta 3
and one issue i found that was kind of curious is the alarm so if you go into the clock and maybe
you have a sleep alarm set and it goes to wake you up and you tap snooze on your iphone it doesn't
snooze on the apple watch properly i've had this happen for the past few days and the watch isn't
snoozing so i'll have to hit it separately it will go off again on the watch and i'll have to tap
either snooze or end or shut off the alarm so that's something i'm seeing specifically
also some people are saying that the taptic engine the vibration engine within the iphone is actually
over vibrating or sort of vibrating so hard that it makes a loud noise when calls come in so that
could be an issue and they've had those issues in the past so they definitely could fix that
with software and then also people are still having issues with twitter crashing and other
apps such as banking apps maybe just not working properly maybe crashing and many of them seem
to be german banks however the app developer will have to update those and typically as we
get closer to the release of ios 15 we'll see more of that where they'll become more stable
and apple definitely could fix something on their end as well also another huge issue seems to be
bluetooth bluetooth continues to be an issue not only on ios 14.7 but also ios 15 betas
i don't know if they changed something but some people are saying that their airpods don't connect
properly where they'll actually have to manually connect the air pods and then other people are
just saying that they'll disconnect after 15 seconds or so music will stop playing so there's
still issues going on with bluetooth overall i'm not exactly sure what's causing it but it seems to
be a long-running issue that they need to resolve at this point also wi-fi has been an issue for
some and i don't know if this is router specific but someone mentioned nest wi-fi having an issue
so there's definitely some issues that need to be resolved there where that dropping connections
now nest could update their wi-fi routers as well to fix this issue but it seems like
it's an ongoing issue of course there's green tin and some people say why do you mention this
every time and that's because apple fixed it in late august for the iphone 11 pro and 11 pro max
so i still expect them to resolve that issue in the long term now as far as heat of both devices
with ios 15 beta 3 some people do complain of heat ios 14.7 seems to have less of those issues
just after using it for a couple days it fixes or finishes doing all of the background processes it
seems to be better overall than ios 15. ios 15 is an early beta so it seems to make sense that there
would be a bunch of background processes going on so i would give it a few more days if you're
on ios 14.7 and you just installed it but heating overall seems to be better in fact earlier today
when i was trying to record i couldn't record because my phone got too hot on ios 15 beta 3.
it was too warm outside about 90 degrees fahrenheit i had the screen brightness all
the way up and the phone got hot enough where it dimmed the display so there's definitely
some heat issues going on from time to time now as far as ipad os 15 beta 3 i've been using it
full time on my ipad pro 12.9 from 2021 this is the m1 version and it's been pretty flawless as
far as bugs go the main complaint i have with it is battery life so i haven't had any apps crash
although i don't use banking apps on here so i've had a few little things in safari but mostly it's
been pretty solid however battery life has been not so great it's basically giving me five to six
hours of screen on time so over the last 10 days here's yesterday i got five hours and 33 minutes
of screen on time one hour and 20 minutes of screen off time and used almost 100 of my battery
so right now it's just not great screen on time and that seems to be the main thing with the ipad
hopefully they'll improve that in the future with ios 14.7 many people are saying that battery life
has significantly improved over 14.6 as well most people have this experience although there are
some that are having the opposite experience but i generally say give it a few days and see if it
improves and then check your settings and see if something's using your battery because in general
it's a much better update than ios 14.6 as far as that goes according to most people in the comments
so a lot of people are saying they're not having any issues with battery life as far
as 14.7 goes while i haven't been using it 100 of the time i've been using ios 15 on my 12 pro max
a couple of you have sent me your battery life so i could share it with you one with an iphone 12
pro max and one with an iphone 11. so cameron sent me the iphone 12 pro max and you can see a hundred
percent usage got him nine hours and 55 minutes of screen on time that's pretty good overall so
that's not bad he sent me another one where the day before he used a little over 50 percent of
his battery and he scored six hours and 44 minutes of screen on time and two hours and 22 minutes of
screen off time so that's pretty good and another day again about over a little over six hours now
david's sending a screenshot a screenshot from his iphone 11 and you can see here he had four hours
and two minutes of screen on time 10 minutes of screen off time and used about 50 percent of his
battery life so that's pretty good almost eight hours of screen on time using music and facebook
facebook does typically drain a lot of battery music's pretty good but that's decent battery life
overall especially on an iphone 11. now as far as ios 14.7.1 release i talked a little bit about
that before i would expect it pretty soon within a week or two to remedy that issue with unlocking
your phone hopefully it's just a minor bug but it doesn't look like we're going to get another
beta at least based on what people have found so far so we could see in ios 14.8 but right now it
looks like we'll just have minor updates until a final release of ios 15 which should be out in mid
delay september as far as when to expect ios 15 beta 4 i would expect it sometime around wednesday
of this coming week since we had ios 15 beta 3 on the 14th or around that date i would say that
probably the 28th usually within two weeks we'll have ios 15 beta 4 and then we'll have some new
features changes bug fixes and more so that seems to make the most amount of sense now that leads me
to should you install ios 14.7 and i would say if you haven't already then absolutely and the main
reason is due to security vulnerability if new features and bug fixes aren't that big of a deal
to you security vulnerabilities definitely should be and you can see all of the security patches on
apple's security website where they patched a number of vulnerabilities from wi-fi that i've
mentioned before where there was a wi-fi bug fix to core audio find my and you can see find my says
that they fixed a malicious application that may be able to access find my data
they patched that and fixed it with a permission issue which was addressed with improved validation
so they mentioned this and i'll link this in the description but you can see there's a number of
fixes in this update to improve security overall so if you haven't updated maybe you're even on
ios 13 versions i would definitely recommend installing this as it fixes a lot of those
security bugs plus you'll get all of the bug fixes and more as far as ios 15 beta 3 well if
you're not on ios 15 betas yet i would probably hold off until ios 15 beta 4 comes out as it
tends to be much more stable at that point so just wait for that to release and i think you'll have a
much better experience and you'll gain some extra features and things like that so if you want to
try the public beta out i would just wait until it comes out a little bit later now there's a couple
things to note about some news and the first thing is ipad mini should be coming hopefully
this year later this year some people are saying i know a lot of people are looking forward to that
so those of you that don't want the ipad air this might be a little bit too big
we could have an ipad mini that looks very similar to it some are saying it's going to be mini led
some are saying that it won't be but at least we'll get a new ipad air at some point with a
redesign it looks like with a similar touch id sensor to the ipad air that makes a lot of sense
also the replacement to the macbook air is said to be coming probably not until 2022 some people were
saying by the end of this year but it looks like we're going to get one probably in 2022 instead
with mini led and also iphone 13 is just a couple months away so the production is really ramped up
and apparently they're ordering more than they did last year so we should see a lot of those
with a very similar design to what we have now but with some better cameras and i'm really hoping for
that 120hz promotion display that seems to be the big thing with the iphone 13 or 12s depending on
what apple calls it i think they're going to call it iphone 13 although maybe they'll just call it
iphone this year or the 2021 iphone we'll have to wait and see let me know what you think about that
in the comments below now let's take a look at the youtube community poll and some of the comments
now we'll go into youtube and on the community page you can see at the time of this video there
are 23 000 votes so i'm really appreciative to everyone that voted and commented there's 479
comments and it's about to get a little bit noisy out here so hopefully you can't hear the cicadas
and other bugs too loud but let me know if you like these outdoor videos in the comments below
now the first thing is there's 58 of you that are on ios 14.7 25 percent of you are
on ios 15 beta 3. 12 percent of you have not updated yet so you're on ios 14.6 or older
and five percent of you are using ios 12 or older or android so that's a huge amount that's already
updated the ios 14.7 so it's pretty incredible how quickly people will update now let's take a
look at some of the comments so we'll take a look at five or ten of them it's getting a little bit
noisy out here all of a sudden but we'll sort by newest first and there's 479 comments that's
where i got all the information for this video so that's incredible how many people have commented
so i really appreciate it sergey said everything is okay but somehow it was also the same on rc my
geekbench score in multicore section is way below average when single core is okay i'm using iphone
10s max battery life is okay make sure you're updated as far as geekbench but i wouldn't worry
too much about that that's just a general idea give it a few days and see if it improves kelvin h
says generally everything seems better than before including the my issue with imessage when i use
the reply option in a long texted thread it still snags however the snagging is way less persistent
in addition my iphone 12 pro max now seems to charge quite faster all okay on my iphone se i use
it much every day charge overnight battery seems okay rosetta says battery seems to drain faster
on ios 14.7 on my iphone 12. sad but right below that eric h says battery life for me seems to be
incredible knock on wood for that it was bad the first two days after updating but now it's great
and that's generally what i tell people is give it a couple days and it usually improves greatly
lucky says i'm on ios 14.7 using an iphone 12 so far it's working okay and battery life is
good for me compared to ios 14.6 however i do still get an issue where my music stops playing
whenever i open facebook and not sure if it's a bug it used to happen even when i was on 14.6
that could happen if it senses a video is there and it wants to try and play that i've seen that
before amon says my issue is still on my airpods pro connection they sometimes pause a second while
playing music video and even long voice notes so please mr aaron advise them to improve that
otherwise other features are okay and normal i'm using it on the iphone 11 pro kapil says battery
life was better than ios 14.6 on my iphone 11. performance was the same as before no complaints
michael says i updated the 14.7 when it came out i haven't noticed any difference whatsoever
using an iphone 10s i honestly forgot the update was released rick says ios 14.7 here i believe
battery life has improved as for performance it seems slightly better overall much better than
ios 14.6 would recommend i'm on an iphone 10r edri louis plata says ios 15 beta 3 is great
i'm using the iphone 11. surfsharkvpn updated their app so vpn works now on ios 15. the only
bug i have is the airpods every time i put them on i have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on
battery life is pretty good josh says phone feels much smoother and responsive and battery 2 seems
to be doing fine keep up the good work thank you tobias mikulski hopefully i'm saying that properly
i have ios 14.7 and runs flawlessly i'm so glad that i changed to iphone in december of last year
aiden says i've been using this since it was released officially i must say i had better
battery life on 14.6 my phone iphone glitches sometimes since updating i'm using iphone 12 pro
max also having keyboard issues please erin what would you advise i've been watching your videos
from day one and trust your judgment thank you as far as the keyboard issues if you're using the
apple stock keyboard i would just try and reboot see if it fixes it otherwise the only thing you
can do is in the worst case scenario is restore everything and start over or just wait for another
update unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do for that and then finally jp sullivan says
ios 14.7 has been working fine on my iphone 10r keep up the good work and so that's everything for
ios 14.7 and ios 15 beta 3. i'm looking forward to ios 15 beta 4 of course with maybe some changes as
well and maybe even in ios 14.7.1 but we'll have to wait and see what apple does as far as that
goes if you found anything else new i'd love to hear from you in the comments below and if you'd
like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like i normally do
if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
