hello everyone IceCoolTech here so it's that time of year again where apple has
just released their annual major ios release in this case ios 15.0 and you're debating whether
or not it would be safe to update your iphone sc first generation to the latest ios release
so in this video that's what we're going to be talking about but before we get into it i
should say that you have an iphone se and you care about that iphone se and i cover iphone se which
means you would benefit greatly from tapping that subscribe button and enabling post notifications
using the bell icon just below anyways let's get into how the iphone sc handles ios 15.
so starting off with the overall performance of ios 15.0 on this iphone i can say that there has
been a slight decrease apps tend to load a little bit slower than normal however this
is a 15.0 release which means usually things like this are common and will get ironed out
with updates like 15.1 15.2 uh it happens pretty much every year so we can look forward to that but
it is something i've observed so i thought i'd mention it especially for somebody who truly does
care about the performance even on ios 15 however the a9 chip in the iphone sc first generation
still powers through pretty much anything it is incredible how fast it actually runs considering
its age and the fact that has 2 gigabytes of ram two and we look at ram management in just
a second here uh compared to six gigabytes and four gigabytes of ram of newer iphones it's truly
truly remarkable so taking a look at animations i have to say animation since updating ios 15
have been incredibly smooth there is no problems that i've experienced at all stuttering is pretty
much non-existent which is something that i'm really thrilled to say especially on the device
of this age um i've had no problems it's been an improvement over ios 14 without a doubt and it
makes me really happy to see that there is fixes here so with that said let's just show off the app
librarian widgets page considering those were the two biggest i think animation problems throughout
ios 14. the app library did have improvement throughout updates but it was never really the
smoothest smoothest interface in the world however now in ios 15 you can see the smoothness is
pretty much where it should be there is very very very little stuttering you will have it
occasionally here and there but other than that it's perfectly smooth now the widgets page
no improvement through ios 14 but all of a sudden the update was 15 and it is lag free there is no
stuttering i haven't experienced a single stutter in the widgets page since updating that's awesome
so since updating ios 15 i'm going to be completely honest right here that ram management
sucks seriously the worst ram management i think i've ever seen on the iphone sc first generation
again it is the 15.0 release maybe this will get patched in a future update
we will have to wait and see for that one but as a 15.0 ram management is horrific
all right so before i get into battery life on ios 15 i should just mention that my maximum capacity
is currently at 87 so it's getting to a point where i will need to replace the battery um also
my iphone se has had an unexpected shutdown but i've disabled performance management in settings
as you can see right here so now that that's out of the way let's talk about the incredible battery
life and the battery is actually right now i have to say better than ios 14 in general the
percent right here you can see is a static 79 it is not going down if this were ios 14 this would
be dropping as i'm talking on the home screen with i think just settings in the background
so it's better i would say it's definitely better standby time is also slightly better i haven't
noticed any major drain um actually my iphone 7 is having a harder time with standby time than
this is and that's saying a lot so i would give battery a an okay here not the best not the worst
however ios 15 has actually been really good with overheating on this iphone other than you know
like ios 14 or 13 it would just be overheating doing pretty much nothing but this is impressive
15.0 seems to be okay with overheating i'm not going to say it's 100 free of it because it's not
but it's definitely an improvement now i just want to re reiterate something very important here
after you update your iphone's firmware you will very likely notice overheating battery drain and
possibly performance decreases because again the iphone does a lot of background processing right
after an update and it could take about one to three days to overcome that and complete the tasks
so now we've gone through all of the major topics now we're brought back to the main question of
should you update so there is really no definitive yes or no answer to this it's more of a few
questions that you have to ask yourself do i need any of these apps do they need to be updated or do
to download them do i need a newer version of ios the answer is yes then maybe it would be in your
best interest to update because while you might be sacrificing you know battery life or performance
or even ram management assuming that you care about that it might be worth updating just if
you truly need that app same thing goes with ios features if there's a native feature that you
could really benefit from or that you just need that's in a newer release of ios then i would also
probably recommend updating in that situation um if you are currently perfectly fine where you are
right now you don't need any new features you don't need any newer ios releases you know for
app compatibility or anything i would probably recommend staying there as long as you can
all right everyone that is all i have for today's video now if you do have any questions or if you
found value in this video you know whether or not this video helped you decide if you wanted
to update ios 15 or not or you'd just like to say hi make sure leave a comment down below of course
