- Should you install the iOS 15 beta question?
I think a lot of people are gonna
be asking themselves over the next month,
Let's start with the first major problem
that both of us have run into, but in different ways,
which is always a problem.
Battery drain.
- Battery life.
- Let's dive into the settings app.
Dave, you wanna start with your phone?
- Yes. So this morning I wake up at 06:30
and I realized that my phone had no battery life.
And I said, that's weird.
Also I had plan to get up at 08:30,
so I got kind of fortunate there
that I didn't have my alarms get missed,
but anyway, I digress.
Then come down here to battery.
You'll see here between two and 6:00 AM,
it just drops from 75
down to
zero.
What's going on?
Screen on time, three minutes.
- What the heck was going on?
- What was going on?
I don't know.
I might've opened the camera accidentally.
- I doubt it.
- But three at minute on time, I just, I don't know.
- It's camera-audio,
what?
I don't even know how that would happen.
But for whatever reason,
the camera app crashed on David's phone.
- Yet, find my end exposure notifications
we're also using a little bit there.
If I come down to the red here...
- (gibberish sound)
- So it's just, I couldn't believe it.
- That's insane.
So that's a bug.
- It's a bug.
- It's not David's fault.
He didn't do anything wrong, but his battery died.
- It's too bad.
- That's what happens with data's.
Settings on my phone.
I'm gonna come down here to
battery.
And if we take a look down here,
I like to look first at the light blue versus the dark blue.
I'm not sure why they didn't
make them totally different colors,
but light blue means screen off.
So that means that your iPhone is asleep or somewhere,
but it's still using battery
because something on your iPhone is using a lot of battery.
So if I look...
Let's see, where was this?
The tallest one happened,
which means the most battery drain
in the last 24 hours
happened between eight and 9:00 AM this morning.
And I can see it's HondaLink,
which is an app for my car
which is essentially well, it's kind of useless.
I mean, it shows like the oil life
and messages that never come from Honda.
92% in the background.
Not supposed to happen,
probably because there's some sort of
an incompatibility between Honda's app and
iOS 15.
This is why they have developer betas
for the Honda developers
so they can fix whatever this problem is.
Before the public beta comes out
and then definitely before the actual version comes out.
So if I wanted to fix this, this is a pretty easy one.
It says background activity.
So where do I go?
- Settings, general, background app refresh.
- Very good.
So I'll go back to settings and come up here to general,
tap background app refresh.
Now I just have to go way down to HondaLink
and actually I already turned it off
because I saw that.
- Saw that, and he took good care of it.
- I took proactive action.
So that's what you would do.
And no, it's not gonna drain my battery.
- Battery issues with betas not too uncommon,
but just be aware of that.
- Right.
Now you are.
- Now you are.
Let's talk about focus,
cool new feature, you know, do not disturb on steroids.
Now they've really expanded it.
And you can send an auto reply message.
I have a focus going, leave me alone.
Don't message me.
Here's what I'm doing.
- Exactly.
- However, the auto reply is great out,
you can't turn it on or set it up.
And I've tried this with three different focuses.
So I, it doesn't work.
- I believe it's folk eye.
- It might be.
- It's not folk eye,
it's focuses.
- Let's go back to settings,
scroll up here to focus,
tap on focus status,
auto reply switch great out.
I'll even switch my focus here,
press and hold,
control center.
Do I do personal?
Again.
If I close the settings app?
- What if you do a back flipped.
- But if, turn, restart my phone, toss it out the window.
It doesn't work.
It's just, it's not there yet.
- It's great out.
They haven't built it in yet.
It's interesting they actually have it there,
but it's kind of like a placeholder.
- It is.
Let's talk about FaceTime on Android.
One of the big new features...
(talking simultaneously)
- Super exciting.
- However,
doesn't always work.
- We actually tried this yesterday
with different phones.
There's one of them.
Pixel, different iPhones.
It would not work.
Then we come in here to do a YouTube video earlier
and all of a sudden it works,
which is the first time anything ever worked
while we were trying to do it on camera,
usually things don't work
when we're trying to do them on camera.
- The link to that video card above,
description section below.
- So anyway, it works sometimes.
Is it buggy?
Yes.
- It's gonna be buggy.
- Right.
Is this gonna be a reason
why you shouldn't install the beta?
Probably not, but I wouldn't roll this out
or to your friends that have Androids at this point
and try to sell them on a fact
that they should get an iPhone.
Because it doesn't really work that way.
- They gonna say it's a beta and it's broken.
- It's broken.
I told you apple is stupid.
- Apple made bad thing.
- They're stupid.
Androids are so much better.
- Next, let's talk about safari.
Open up the safari app here.
Menu bar at the bottom.
- That's the first thing I noticed.
It's kinda crazy.
- There's no refresh,
you to swipe down like this,
like it's a social media app.
There you go.
- Refreshing page,
many bars at the bottom
and then it kinda goes and hides itself down there
and you got to like tap on it and comes back up.
Weird.
- One frustrating thing that I've noticed is that,
as a page is loading
maybe you'd try to search for something else.
If the page keeps loading,
it's gonna close out of the search
and send you back to the page
and you need to go back and start all over again.
- Exactly.
Let's...
Sorry.
- So if I open up this page
and I wanna go search for something else
you know, YouTube,
there you go.
It just happened.
- It just kicks you out of things.
And it's, what's strange about putting this down here,
is that it's really not that compatible
with a lot of different websites.
Do you mind if I go to Europe?
- Europe. (chuckles) Go for it.
- There's a lot of tapping and...
YouTube.com.
So YouTube on mobile,
sticks this little menu bar thing down here at the bottom,
which is now conflicting with this
and then it goes and hides and you know, it's just like
everything is in the way,
because we've been using the web
with the address bar at the top for the longest time.
Like I keep wanting to drag this.
The one thing I do like about it
is you can swipe right to left, to create a new tab.
- Very cool,
but only works though if you're on the,
last tab.
(talking simultaneously)
If you're like me,
and you've got dozens and dozens of tabs...
- Right.
- It's gonna take you a while to do that.
- (mumbling) It's kind of dumb.
- Another interesting FaceTime bug right now,
is that if you're contact has an emoji
in their contact name, the call might not work.
- Yes.
- But not much more to say on that.
If you run to that issue,
remove the emoji from their contact name.
- That's the fix for now.
(talking simultaneously)
And then send them a frowny face emoji.
- Similarly, you can't share play right now.
- That's been unfortunate.
We were out there trying to figure it out today
trying to share play HBO max,
that you're supposed to be able to do
and Hulu and a whole bunch of other things
turns out, it worked better during Apple's demo
than it does in real life, of course.
- What a surprise.
But I mean,
it's the first beta.
Things aren't gonna work perfectly.
But, if you were to install this beta
and you're looking forward to
trying out all these cool new features,
either they don't work
or they're not there
or they're really clunky.
So...
- Be careful
and make sure you backed-up your iPhone first.
One last little design thing that I caught today.
If you go into weather
and you go into the list view,
you want to get rid of, you know, a place.
That, that trash button is not, is not great.
- No.
- It's a little bit too tall.
- Too tall,
the trash button
and it doesn't quite match
the rounded corners aesthetic that they're going for.
Things are just funky.
- That's funky.
What is going?
(gibberish sound)
- As we said a bunch of times,
it's the first developer beta of a major new iOS update.
It's not gonna be perfect.
- Right.
- But just know that before you go to install it
because if you do expecting the iOS 15.
- Right.
- It's out there.
