Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.3 has been out for a few days and i've been
using it on and off depending on the device and when ios 14.4 came out i've been using it
on the iphone 12 pro max the iphone 12 which has 14.3 on it the iphone 7 which also has ios 14.3
and my 2020 ipad pro 12.9 and so i want to talk about the overall experience of ios 14.3
based off my experience and then your experience with the youtube community poll
as over 28 000 people voted and there were about 700 comments at the time of making this video so
incredible amounts of of participation there so we have a lot of good data about that including
battery life and i'll talk about that a little bit later however there's a new feature in ios
14.3 that i didn't mention in the initial video about what was new and that one feature has to
do with siri being able to replicate sounds so for example let's ask siri to make a sound of a lion
make a lion sound
a lion sounds like this and so now we have audio samples of different animal sounds so that's
something new that it can do as well as other sounds as well now also if you'd like to continue
to talk about this after the video i also have telegram and discord linked in the description if
you want to check those out be sure to check them out if you'd like to talk about this sometimes i'm
on there as well now the first thing is the overall experience on 14.3 for me in general
it was good however i did have some performance issues with app stuttering so i would open an app
close it and sometimes it would be jittery or have a frame rate drop so you can see there it was
smooth you can go through maybe open a different app like this one swipe off and it's working okay
sometimes it would be stuttery and jittery and that's the main issue i had with this everything
else actually seemed to be okay for me i've had good reception no issues there and i know some
people have the green tin issue i'll talk about in a moment but i haven't had that on my devices
but it's still there in this update as well as ios 14.4 beta 1 it seems to be in as well now
i've been using it on my ipad as well and the ipad has been mostly good as far as 14.3 with ipad os
the one issue that i had with it mostly has to do with the magic keyboards when you would attach the
keyboard to it what would happen is sometimes the keyboard input wouldn't work until you rebooted
the device so i had that issue multiple times i don't know if they fixed it in 14.4 but it seems
like it's still an issue from time to time and we'll talk about battery life a little bit later
on both devices now as far as your experience well there were quite a few things that you had to say
but most issues seem to be audio related so those of you having issues with maybe volume changing
now that is a setting that you can turn off so there's a feature built into ios 14 14.3 that
will adjust headphones down if they're too loud to help with hearing that's a simple feature you
can turn off and it disappeared for some but it should be in 14.3 so if you go into your settings
go to sound and head sound and haptics then go to headphone safety you have headphone notifications
and reduce loud sounds if that's on it will reduce the loud sounds to whatever you set
this to so if you turn it off you can turn it on or turn it back up and most of the time it will
not reduce the sound there are still some bugs but most of the time it won't do that so you can
turn that off in sound and haptics so that's one of the issues people are having but other people
are having disconnects with their headphones wi-fi and bluetooth connectivity in general and
specifically bluetooth issues so a lot of dropped connections to headphones or sounds
or sound issues and crackling so there's definitely something different in this update
that unfortunately was not fixed going from 14.2 to 14.3 also some people are saying they
have low volume on the speakerphone so there's some issues with volume i'm sure apple will be
working on this but for some reason volume is a weird thing in 14.3 and it was in 14.2 it
just continues and some people say it's worse some say it's better but then there's that other issue
like i said green tint that's the other one most people that have iphone 12 series phones had said
so if you turn the display off turn it back on sometimes there would be a green tint based
on what your brightness was set to i wasn't able to replicate that on my displays but i know a lot
of people are having that issue and then other people are saying that performance is great even
on older devices so it really depends on what i guess apps you have installed what you're doing
with it but in general it seems to be super fast overall so the good thing is performance increased
except that stutter but then there's those issues mostly with bluetooth those are the number one
things bluetooth and audio issues and some people had reported those issues to me but then it got to
be a lot of people so it's definitely an issue now things that are not in this update like i said is
the green tin issue there's no mention of fixes to carplay whatsoever so i know a lot of people are
having disconnects or stuttering or problems with that there's no mention of anything fixed in that
and then also that 5g dual sim options not there yet so hopefully they bring that to the iphone
12 series so that you can use 5g at the same time with dual sims so that's not available yet however
battery life is something i know a lot of you want to know about and so i looked at
the youtube community poll took 700 comments took every one of them that mentioned battery so we'll
look at the poll in a moment but took every one of them that mentioned battery out of the
706 comments and then compiled that together looked if whether or not you said it was good or
the same or bad and so after doing all of that 56 percent of you say that you have the same battery
or better than ios 14.2 or ios 14.2.1 so quite a few of you are saying that it's good 44 percent of
you have worse battery so it's really hit or miss this time more so probably than we've seen in the
past so it's great for some not great for others and it really depends on the device for most
people that have the newer devices or the iphone 11 series most people are saying that it's good a
lot of people that have the iphone 7 are saying that it's not as good so i don't know if that's
just battery degrading over time there's a lot of fingerprints on this this jet black iphone 7
but a lot of people are saying that the 7 series for example doesn't have great battery life
but there are a lot of security updates and things in this this update as well and so whether or not
you should update to this is always up to you but personally because of security and feature changes
i always recommend updating if you have airpods max for example you need to update to have that
support and have the supported icons and things show up so to me features outweigh battery but
if battery is the number one thing for you well if you're having great battery life you may want to
hold off however if as long as you care more about anything other than battery then absolutely update
as it seems to fix a lot of problems but we should see other versions later on such as ios 14.4 so
just to show you my battery life overall on my 12 pro max if we go into battery the battery health
should be 100 let's check battery health on this iphone 7 since i haven't looked at it in a while
let's see what we're at battery health is not affected by the update it just simply rechecks it
but you'll see it's at 87 and peak performance capability so that's pretty normal it's an older
phone and if you have an older iphone 7 and you haven't replaced the battery yet make sure
that it's still working good because that will affect performance and of course battery life
if it's degraded so the overall experience for me with battery you can see here this is usage
and when ios 14.4 beta 1 came out i switched to that so here we have some screen on time
now it usually takes a couple days for things to stabilize but you can see when i switched to 14.4
and this is the best day i suppose four hours and 50 minutes of screen on time
19 minutes of screen off time and i used about 60 percent of the battery and normally i say the 12
pro max is good for 10 to 12 hours of screen on time with 14.3 i was getting probably closer to
eight depending on how i was using it but at the end of the day i was still at about 50 battery
life so it was easily getting me through the day just depends on how you use it but in general
it's okay it seems to improve though for me anyway with 14.4 however on the ipad pro battery life has
been really bad and to the point where i updated this to 14.4 and it's still bad so i may need to
fully wipe this device because battery life has just been really terrible on this and i don't know
if what's actually using it but we'll wait for it to load here and you can see i use it mostly on
youtube but it was last charged to 100 yesterday morning and so that was yesterday we're down to
80 percent and i've used it for a total of about 45 minutes or something along those lines that's
pretty bad battery life and so i may need to wipe that and start over and see if that actually fixes
it now as far as the youtube community poll well there's a lot of comments so i'll read some of
them but here you can see the poll and like i said incredible participation 28 000 votes
and 706 comments at the time of this video 61 percent of you said that 14.3 has been great
six percent said it was terrible fifteen percent of you said it was okay but has some bugs and
nineteen percent of you did not update to it so that's pretty interesting that a lot of you are
maybe waiting for this video or something along those lines but let's go ahead and take a look
at some of the comments [ __ ] said i have ipad os 14.3 on my ipad mini 5 and the battery life is a
bit better than with ipad os 14.2 petrus sylvia said iphone 12 mini huge improvement in battery
life good job jake schweitzer says it's great on my iphone 11. dhruv trevetti hopefully i'm saying
that correctly everything's fine on my iphone 11 pro max however i had an issue with 14.2 with the
app library not refreshing after i install new apps so i'll be checking if that persists will
said no bugs found my airpods pro i think is what you mean there now switch automatically from one
ios device to another something that was a problem with the previous version battery is okay on the
iphone 7 plus unusually no overheating with this update so that's good to hear
just depends on your device i suppose darren says it's running very good on my iphone 12 pro max
auto cold day says iphone 10 and ipad pro 3rd gen no bugs so far jack wyatt says just put 14.3
on my 7 plus seems fine to me i don't notice any difference i do like the weather widget chattabob
says iphone 8 plus everything's in working order seems like the battery got better too
venomous says 14.3 not even available to me i'm iphone se 2020 it's definitely there just
make sure you go to your settings and check for an update if you have it on automatic updates you may
not see it jason hernandez says i'm using iphone 10r the battery life seems to have improved a bit
since the previous update did not help my battery at all ben r johansen says battery life isn't as
good as it used to be also there is the screen rotation issue that sometimes have when switching
to landscape but it's okay overall on my 12 pro max gorav bharat says now getting decent 1 hour
extra battery life on my iphone 12 mini and i'm seeing that a lot with the iphone 12 mini for some
reason so they must have fixed something there srivam kissin agrawal says battery woes continue
iphone 11 and hopefully i said your name properly and let's take a look at a few more no name says
feels like i'm getting worse battery life on the iphone 12 pro max myv95 says using ios 14.3 on
the iphone 6s so far it's great but the volume hud keeps appearing after turning off an alarm
or ending a phone call had this bug since ios 14.2 andreas moberg says iphone 11 awesome battery
and performance actually best version so far lex says performance seems to be better on the 10r but
battery life is terrible g2 agrawal says it has been great on the iphone 12 pro no bugs or lag
but when my phone died it had the green tint issue that is overall ios 14.3 but overall ios 14.3
is good and then sh says it's been okay so far actually solved a no signal issue on my mom's 10s
and so ios 14.3 seems to fix a lot of bugs for people but we seem to be very similar to what we
had last year with ios 13.3 so we're sort of in that same cycle last year we did have ios 13.3.1
and then 13.4 apple seems to have skipped 14.3.1 and jumped right to 14.4 however they could throw
that in there before the release of 14.4 so at this point in the year since we're getting close
to the holidays normally apple doesn't release anything i made a little bit of a mistake last
time as i forgot about 13.3.1 last time and we sort of had the same release this week with
14.4 beta 1. so saying all that basically means in january i would expect the next beta update
if apple wants to push it out before then that would be rare based off the previous years but
it's possible they could do that but at this point i really wouldn't expect anything until at least
after january 1st since christmas and then we have the new years and those things coming up so that's
really usually when apple sort of takes that time off and then they start again after that so
look for an update next year and then of course i'll keep you updated if there's anything new
if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like
i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
