Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 14.6 and ios 14.7 beta 1 have been out for a few
days or over a week depending on which one we're talking about and i want to go over the overall
use what it's like battery life performance bugs and more as well as a couple different additional
features and when to expect ios 14.7 but the first thing i want to talk about is ios 15
since that should be out as far as beta testing goes within a week or two at this point so not
too far off should we see the first version and what's in it and there's been some more
leaks about that recently i covered some of these in the previous news update video
but the first thing has to do with health so if you use apple's health app and maybe you're
using health in health in ios 15 it's said that there's going to be new food tracking options so
we can track our blood oxygen depending on the apple watch we have sleep steps and more but
we'll also be able to have food tracking options and this would make a lot of sense someone brought
this up previously that if we have an apple watch and maybe a series 7 apple watch that maybe is
revolutionary that can track blood glucose levels it would be amazing to sort of include that along
with food tracking in the health app now of course food tracking is a whole separate thing but if you
could include both maybe we'll see that and watch series 7 or not but hopefully one day we'll have a
breakthrough with that and just be able to track blood glucose levels for those who are diabetic
with just an apple watch so it would make sense to start with the health app adding food and more so
that's the first thing the next thing is there's supposedly going to be changes to dark mode so
whatever that means specifically we're not really sure because that's all that has been said there
will be changes to dark mode so maybe it will be a little bit darker than it was before in certain
menus sometimes these are a little bit gray it could be a pure dark menu in settings for example
that would be a little bit better so as far as battery life and more since it wouldn't have to
turn on the pixels so that makes a lot of sense that they would make additional changes there
also some people have said that there's going to be changes to notifications so for example these
notifications some people love them some people don't but there should be some updates to make it
a little bit better for those that don't really like it what that means exactly i'm not sure i
do like how they're spaced out but i'm not sure if they're going to change the grouping maybe
add customization i would love to see some more of that in the future updates also with messages
there's said to be some updates as well so in messages maybe we'd be able to recall a message
this was rumored for ios 14 as well and maybe we'll be able to recall a message within the
first minute or something along those lines with imessage we don't know for sure but again people
are just saying to expect some changes with the messaging app and then i've talked about this
before the lock screen should get a redesign as well as the control center as well so we should
see all of those changes coming with ios 15 and that's not too far off on june 7th we'll see it
at wwdc and we'll have the beta right after that so i can't wait to see what they have there now
with ios 14.6 there's a couple features i didn't mention in the initial what's new video that were
mentioned to me a little bit later on or that were found later on and the first one has to do with
apple watch those who have a series 3 apple watch are seeing messages more and more to either delete
maybe apps or things like that from their series 3 apple watch to free up storage before installing
watch os 7.5 or if they don't have enough storage overall it's encouraging them to disconnect your
apple watch from your iphone unpair it update and then repair it so it's kind of a workaround it
seems like apple wasn't anticipating this because you're going to have to reset your apple watch
just to update it and they still sell the series three so i would expect watch os 8 to support
series 3 as well unless they change something there but they still sell it so i would expect
at least a few more years support with that so it's kind of an odd workaround maybe they'll fix
that in the future where it takes up less memory but normally you'll install an update either on
your iphone or your apple watch it'll install update everything and then delete the install
file to save space generally that's how it's done and it just takes a few days for that to happen
or right afterward it just depends on the device so that's normally how it works unfortunately
seems like it's a bug though that they had to do a workaround for now the other thing in ios 14.6
that's been updated is shortcuts so if we go into shortcuts if you use apple's shortcuts app it's
much much faster with ios 14.6 significantly faster so for example you'll see i have a
flashlight off shortcut if i turn the flashlight or torch on depending on where you're from
we'll go back to shortcuts you can see it's shining below i'll tap on flashlight off
and it turns off immediately it's almost immediate the second you tap on it so again flashlight off
and it's off immediately so it works really well now i'm glad to see they continue to update this
and make it much much faster i think we'll see much more customization with that again with ios
15. now as far as the overall experience on ios 14.6 ios 14.7 i have ios 14.6 on my iphone 11
and ios 14.7 beta 1 on my iphone 12 pro max i actually installed it on the 12 pro max a few
days after running ios 14.6 so i could give you an idea overall of what it's like on the same device
and in general 14.6 is pretty good for most people my wife for example and my daughters that both
run that have not had any complaints however they're not heavy users and they just haven't
said any problems have occurred with it however quite a few people are seeing bugs with ios 14.6
still for example quite a few people are seeing issues with bluetooth still and the bluetooth
bug seems to be a regular thing that's not only on ios 14.6 but also 14.7 beta 1. it seemed to
be improved with 14.6 for me connecting to a car with audio for example but then with 14.7 beta 1
it seems sort of slow to connect and based on some of the modem build numbers for example it might be
a little bit older than 14.6 in some ways with that bluetooth connection so there's something
there that still is an issue that hopefully apple will fix soon because bluetooth has been a problem
for a while there's also many who mentioned delays in bluetooth on both versions so maybe you connect
your airpods pro or airpods max sometimes they're very slow not only just to connect but also maybe
to play music out of so you'll see now it finally popped up it took a while to activate and then pop
up and then actually playing music through those airpods can have a couple second delay from time
to time so many are saying they're having that experience so that seems to be an issue on both
versions for some reason also on 14.6 quite a few people are still having the phone heat up
unusually warm now not everyone is most people say it's actually doing well but there are some people
who are having the phone get abnormally warm for some reason so along with that bluetooth bug
and notifications there's a heating issue there as well now on ipad os 14.6 i'm having a rotation bug
on the latest m1 ipad pro now it's something that i'm not sure if it's specific to the m1
but i am seeing it from time to time it will be delayed sometimes it just won't rotate
other times it will i'm not able to reproduce it here but sometimes that does happen however it
seems to function fine other than that i've had no issues no bluetooth issues no wi-fi issues
but there is a wi-fi bug that people are still having so to go along with the bluetooth issue
quite a few people on ios 14.6 still have wi-fi issues some do on 14.7 but there is a wi-fi bug
where calls would drop and a few people mention that so calls could be dropping on ios 14.6 for
example so that's something that they've updated whether or not that has to do with an update to
your router or with the iphone in general it didn't happen before so it must be the iphone
also carplay used to be a problem it seems to be resolved for most people with ios 14.6 and 14.7
where it would drop off ios 14.6 rc2 that they released later on
it seems like that's why they released rc2 is some carplay issues maybe where it was dropping
off and not working properly so that makes a lot of sense if that's why they released it
after that update people were able to use car play and then open music for example within carplay it
would crash before for a lot of people so it seems much better as far as green tin on both
versions on oled displays most people say it's resolved there's occasionally a few people that
say it's not but the majority of people say that they're not seeing a ring around the edge
of anything when on a dark page whether it be settings or in a video and the hdr video issue
people were having doesn't seem to be a problem either when it's in hdr and there's blacks on
the display they don't seem to be backlit as much most people are saying that those issues
that were there before are resolved now there is one other issue that i've had with ios 14.7
and that is it actually occasionally freezing up or locking up people are seeing this on ios 14.6
and 14.7 where it will just not respond sometimes touch is a little slow and it will lag or freeze
it's pretty hit or miss it seems to be within specific apps like instagram for example
and maybe that has something to do with the app tracking transparency being blocked on that and
it doesn't like it so it seems to be app specific but not throughout the os so definitely there's
something there when it comes to that however on ios 14.7 beta 1 most people are saying performance
is quite good in fact most people say it's a very large increase over 14.6 as far as the smoothness
overall performance and speed in general which is a good thing because most people say ios 14.6 was
smoother than 14.5 or 14.5.1 so in general it seems to be a much better update overall
most people are having a good experience with 14.7 and we should be at this point where it
should be refined enough to be a good experience for everyone so as far as performance it's doing
quite well now as far as battery life a lot of people with 14.6 mentioned unusual battery drain
now quite a few people say that it's better than the previous version but there are some
people that have the heating issue i mentioned before that have unusual battery drain so there
may or may not be an app there that's causing a problem for some people so what specifically it
is i wish we could pinpoint it down to a specific app that's causing that issue but it seems to be a
few groups of people are saying that they're having significant battery drain with 14.6
but resolves that for most people now with ios 14.6 and 14.7 battery life overall well i've run
both versions on my iphone 12 pro max so i could show you so if we go to battery go to battery
health i'm still at 100 percent on my main device again i've charged this every single night on a
fast charger it's a magsafe belkin fast charger that's the belkin stand i reviewed if you haven't
seen that it's in a previous video but i charge it on that fast charge it every night no issues there
and then i put it on a wireless charger in my car i rarely plug it in and i don't use a case so heat
can sort of dissipate off of it so it seems to help with that now over the last 10 days you can
see right here is basically where i installed 14.7 beta 1 so the first four bars or so is ios 14.6 so
with the same apps i was getting about two hours and 44 minutes of screen on time and three hours
and 39 minutes of screen off time playing music that day the day before i had three and a half
or three hours and three minutes of screen on time six hours of screen off time and used about fifty
percent of my battery or forty to fifty percent of my battery so maybe double this to six hours but
that's also twelve hours of playing music in the background while i sleep or something like that
it just depends so what it's actually doing for background activity however background activity is
turned off on twitter but it keeps showing up so that's something i keep seeing regularly however
when we get to ios 14.7 beta 1 and you'll see that bug it keeps jumping up so 14.7 beta 1 here's one
of the days i used one hour and 40 minutes of screen on time four hours and 38 minutes of
screen off time and didn't even use a quarter of the battery so two hours if you times that times
four or times four we'd get eight to ten hours of screen on time and then the next day again we used
a lot more and used a lot more battery so it's again hit or miss for me and you'll see background
activity on telegram twitter realtor and other things so i need to turn make sure that's turned
off as it keeps using a lot of background activity there for some reason but in general eight to ten
hours i'm getting the same battery life i always did with my iphone 50 by the time i go to bed
generally is what i'm getting and i took this off the charger this morning we're at 70 percent
and that was eight hours ago at this point so it's doing quite well now for those of you wondering
about my ipad i've talked about in the past well with the m1 ipad pro battery life is now 8 to 10
hours of screen on time however with the previous one i was having five hours of screen on time with
i'm still experiencing that so there's got to be something bad with the restore that i did on it
even though i wiped the device so i'll start that one over and it should fix that problem
and this one is doing just fine so i'm pretty glad to see that this is back to normal it had to be
some apps i had installed now as far as if you should install ios 14.6 or ios 14.7 beta 1. well
if you want to stay on public versions ios 14.6 is the way to go because of the security updates
there are a huge amount of security updates that are significant and if i go to apple's
security website and if we scroll down here you can see the updates ios 14.6 and ipad os 14.6
and if you just scroll down there are a ton of security updates here so everything from webkit to
model io to keep going here i believe kernel as well and much much more so there are huge amount
of updates in for 14.6 as far as security and i would highly recommend it if you haven't already
just for that alone however if you want to try out 14.7 it seems to be more refined and with better
performance for most people so if you're familiar with the beta program well then definitely go
ahead and try that out if you're not and you like public versions well 14.6 seems to be the better
way to go for most people not everyone though now as far as ios 15 like i said we'll see that in a
couple weeks so i can't wait for that and also i want to talk about the youtube community poll
since all of those things that are still going on with ios is where you mention those so if we
go into youtube and as you can see there's 14 000 votes at the time of this video which is a
huge amount so i really appreciate that and you'll see 66 percent of you say that ios 14.6 is great
seven percent say that it's terrible fourteen point seven beta one nine percent are using
it and say that it's great two percent are saying that it's terrible and then fifteen percent are on
for ios 14.5.1 or older there's also 274 comments and again that's where i get all the information
as far as the additional bugs people are having and so let's sort this so we can take
a look at these i wish we could sort by oldest first but we'll read about 10 of them or so
to see what you had to say so running ios 14.7 beta 1 on iphone 7 32 gigabyte no problems here
the battery and performance is good and that's from elmo so i appreciate the comment and many
people are saying that even with older devices they're seeing better performance with 14.7
with those beta so i think it'll increase over time abhishek lamba says hi aaron on ios 14.6
on my iphone 11 pro max working fine but sometimes frame rate drop can be seen battery life is around
8 to 9 hours max love all your videos and thank you and thanks for commenting leeds united history
says 14.7 beta 1 on iphone 11 can't post videos or photos to twitter from my photos since i updated
why maybe you have the option turned off that's that allows you to actually view photos or videos
that could be an issue with that ios wouldn't affect whether or not you could post on twitter
though so make sure you have that turned on in your privacy settings jazz jeet singh says ios
14.6 as a whole is smooth but i've noticed some app bugs like youtube becomes unresponsive as
content content doesn't load up sometimes while watching instagram stories a black screen pops up
while listening to songs via airpods pro and apple music and at the same time using the app switcher
the playing song skips stops playing for that instant when i swipe up the screen to switch apps
airpods pro have some issues songs content on youtube youtube starts after a few seconds later
rest at the rest everything is buttery smooth alejandra alvarez says ios 14.6 is smooth but
terrible on battery ios 14.5.1 calibration gave me 100 battery health and it was really good
with battery life my friend also confirms the same iphone 11 100 battery health and not happy
debbie says ios 14.7 beta 1 is just okay on my iphone 11 pro and ipad pro seeing issues with
airplay connections disappearing mail app is being slow sometimes the keyboard response problems
or sometimes there's keyboard response problems jeremy smith says ios 14.7 iphone 11 working well
and fast chronic yadav says hopefully i'm saying that properly higher and i'm using ios 14.7 beta
1 on my iphone 7. no lag so far it's been great and battery life is also pretty good i'm getting
around five hours of screen on time with five to ten percent left at night russian thready says
i'm using an iphone 10 and running ios 14.6 sometimes the apps get crap apps crash and battery
life is good the roblox dodge hq says iphone 11 on ios 14.6 it's been great so far performance and
battery life also seems to be slightly better tech one tv set i'm using iphone se2 with ios 14.6 and
it's great so far so that's it for ios 14.6 and 14.7 beta 1. now when it comes to ios 14.7 beta 2
hopefully we'll see that at the latest by wednesday generally with the updates the
previous ios 14.7 update was on a wednesday so that would make it almost two weeks or two
weeks at that point until the update so maybe before then but hopefully at the latest by then
that seems to make sense unless apple has some other plans as well hopefully this video was
