Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and
ios 14 beta 6 as well as ios
13.7 beta 1 or gm have been out for a
few days and i wanted to share my
overall experience and your experience
based off the youtube community poll
where there are over 10 000 votes and
hundreds and hundreds of comments to
give us a good idea whether or not
we should install these what to expect
from them and
let's go ahead and first talk about ios
13.7
so ios 13.7 i have running on my iphone
10s max i just have an apple silicon
case on it
and i'll link that in the description if
you want to check that out but
this particular update was a bit of a
surprise and seemingly seems like a gm
in fact the few people that commented
about it on the poll have said that
battery life is phenomenal
and the interesting thing is despite
having the beta profile installed there
is no feedback app
and like i said in the previous video of
what's new
this is pretty much a gm version so the
build number
you'll see there's the beta profile the
build number says that this is basically
a gm version
meaning that there's no additional
numbers or anything else
and so this update i would expect as
soon as this coming week in fact
we thought at first that this was going
to be a public release
a few people such as 9 to 5 mac and
others actually said this was coming out
to the public and it didn't it came out
as a beta so i would expect this
as a public release this coming week and
if you're on ios 13.6.1
you definitely can update also the
jailbreaks work for it and things like
that if you're worried about it at least
people have confirmed that already now
before i talk about ios
14 beta 6 i want to talk about watch os
7 beta 6 quickly
because i'm getting a lot of people
asking should you install watch os 7
beta 6
and as long as you're aware of the risks
then i would say absolutely
and the only risk really is if there's a
problem you cannot downgrade it yourself
you actually have to send it into apple
there's no way to physically connect it
to a computer that's available to the
public anyway
that you can actually restore your
device so if you do have a problem
you'll have to send your watch in
now saying that it's actually been
really good on my series for
apple watch so i haven't had a single
problem and the only way to get off of
the beta version is uninstall the public
beta profile
and then wait for the next public
release so if you can do that
you don't have a problem or you can go
to the final version once that comes out
and just uninstall the beta profile
but really it's been solid i haven't had
any issues early on i had some issues
with battery
but if you want to try out watch os 7
betas i would suggest just going to the
public beta site and trying it out now
as far as ios 14 beta 6 well i really
haven't had many issues with it i had
two problems initially and one of them
still remains but for the most part this
is the most stable beta so far for me
battery life is decent we'll talk about
that in a moment but as far as the
overall experience it's been good with
the exception of the day after i was
using it it completely
got really sluggish locked up i would go
into apps like notes things that use
icloud
and it just completely froze and
wouldn't work even if i closed out the
app
it just didn't respond properly so i've
had a couple issues a hard reboot
fixes that problem every single time but
it's kind of annoying that i've had to
do that
the other issue i'm having is when
you're tapping on a notification
such as a notification for twitter it
doesn't bring you right to the thing
notifying you
and instead it just brings you to the
main page of twitter which is really
kind of annoying
and hopefully it'll be fixed in upcoming
betas but it's probably something
they've changed in the code
there's also some weird notifications
that you are experiencing based off the
community poll and a friend that sent in
a little information and a video about
it so let's take a look
now wessel sent this in and as you can
see you'll see the scratch is on my
screen but as you can see a notification
popped in on twitter
another one and then they disappear and
so this seems to be a concurrent problem
that keeps happening with notifications
and so there's definitely something
going on other people are reporting that
notifications are just not showing up on
time either so
that's an issue now there are eight
common issues that people have mentioned
having issues
and it doesn't matter which phone you
have here i have an iphone 7
and it seems to be across all of the
devices so for example some have issues
with the battery case not working
in fact over four or five people
mentioned that the battery case wasn't
working properly
also some have said that wireless
charging isn't working now i personally
haven't had an issue with it
in fact i charged my 11 pro max with a
wireless charger last night
no problems whatsoever and also i've
been using
ios 14 beta 6 primarily on my 11 pro max
and my 2020 ipad pro 12.9
and then i also have it on the iphone 7.
so also people are saying that their
experience
using the phone is it's getting much
hotter so
normally when you're using the phone and
playing a game it will get warm just
because it's using the cpu so the back
will get a little bit warm
but when you're playing games it's
getting much hotter than normal in fact
my daughter was playing minecraft
and the phone overheated not just that
it got hot it physically said that it
overheated
i tweeted about this and that's sort of
the risk you take with betas
but i've never seen it where you're just
using it doing one task
and the phone gets so hot that it
overheats and that was on an iphone 10s
so it was super hot on the back hard to
hold
and then also it just got super super
hot so
and then it had to cool down then she
could use it again she tried a hard
reboot
it did occur again so there's definitely
something where it's using the processor
much more than it normally would and
it's not ramping it down to keep it cool
enough so normally it would just
kind of thermal throttle it and you
wouldn't have an issue now a couple
people are saying that the clock widget
isn't working properly and it's not
keeping the right time
and then also many people have said that
the
mirror front camera option isn't there
now i actually see it on my 11 pro max
so if i go down to
trying to find camera there you'll see
that mirror front camera
is there so i'm seeing it some people
aren't i don't know if they removed it
off older phones
for a temporary reason hopefully they
did and it will show back up for those
that are missing it
now also the issue i was having before
where it would get stuck
in location services has been fixed so
if i go to
say privacy then i go to location
services
then i scroll to the bottom go to system
services
it would just hang before they fixed
this so that's a good thing but the
other issue people are having is
sometimes touch inputs aren't working so
not only
is there occasional freezing and lagging
it's less than it was before but people
are having it
touch input isn't working properly
sometimes so you can press on an app
here
and it just doesn't work sometimes and
you'll see that it does that for me from
time to time
if you push just to the left of an app
well i just pulled that back into
my list there if you push just to the
left sometimes it doesn't work
other times it does you'll see it's kind
of hit or miss so they need to sort of
fix this
where the touch markers are or however
they're doing that they need to fix it
so that it works properly
also pokemon go isn't working for people
still
and i suspect that has to do with the ar
or augmented reality plug-ins
hopefully they'll fix this in an
upcoming update pokemon probably has to
fix that with upcoming
api changes that allows them to interact
with the camera and things and there is
one other issue with airpods
so you'll see when my airpods try to
connect we get an error message let's go
in here
press and hold let's go in and connect
the airpods
to and you'll see we get a message it's
not really an error it's just the
incorrect text
so it's popping up incorrectly it
shouldn't be doing that but
from time to time it is now also i am
seeing
4k youtube videos and some people are
seeing picture in picture within the app
i'm not seeing this myself
but let's try it out so you'll see this
is my video on which iphone should you
buy
i have up to 2160p so that's nice but if
i go back
out and then i go home some people are
actually seeing picture in
picture i'm not seeing that i wish i was
seeing that
but currently i'm not so it would be
really great to have that built in
i actually have youtube premium and it's
not showing up either so some people are
seeing it with the app you can do it
with safari now should you update
ios 14 beta 6 well initially i would say
absolutely you should always update on a
beta
because the idea is apple gets a bunch
of information
from feedback and things like that and
they get to see how the device is
working on millions of devices and you
get to use features early so that's the
idea of a beta
so i always say update but based on my
experience absolutely update so
not only is it good on the iphone my
experience on the ipad has actually been
really good too
so i haven't had any issues on the ipad
it's been very stable
i haven't really had any touch issues
either so it's been really good i've
been playing call of duty mobile quite a
bit on it
i've had no issues with the elite
controller been trying that out
and everything seems to be working super
smooth i haven't had any issues with
apps
scrolling i haven't had any crashes on
the ipad with ipad os 14 beta 6
and it seems to be really really solid
and so yes i think it's a great beta to
install
especially if you've on previous betas
and then also the performance overall
seems to be
really smooth i've had no issues and if
we go into geekbench
we'll go into geekbench 5 here we'll go
to the history
you'll see this is what i ran on the day
it came out i got 1334 for single core
3 379 for multi-core so it's actually
pretty good
it's pretty solid and i would expect
this to
only be about a week old before the next
version comes out
so based off of what apple has done in
the past you can see all of the dates
here
apple has released betas this late in
the game
every single week so once we get to beta
6 we get a beta every single week
usually around tuesday or wednesday i
would expect a beta as soon as september
1st
now they can change this but every
single week
seems likely based off what they've done
in the past so expect one on the first
or second and then the eighth or ninth
and then hopefully we'll have an update
as far as when apple's going to have a
keynote about the iphone 12 sometime
around that time as well
so i'm looking forward to that now as
far as battery life on this beta well
it's been
pretty good for me compared to previous
betas it's still not up to what it was
on a public release with ios 13.6 or
13.6.1
but it's okay my battery health is at 96
percent
and i still keep getting a ton of
comments saying that my battery health
is going down when i update
and the betas don't do that it's just
checking the hardware of the battery
so the battery physically degrades over
time this is true of android phones of
cars with batteries in them they just
degrade over time with normal use
the number one enemy of battery
degradation
or that will cause it is heat so if
you're in a very hot environment and
you're charging take off the case
that will usually help a lot things like
that will seemingly help
now as far as the overall battery life
well here's yesterday
and well the day before i actually made
a point not to put it on the charger at
all so you'll see it was last charged to
100
on that day or today but i made a point
not to put it on the charger
during this day to get an accurate
reading so i had two hours and 35
minutes of screen on time
three hours and 45 minutes of screen off
time and you'll see i used a little bit
over 25 percent of my battery
so what that means is if you times four
i could get about 10 hours of screen on
time and more of screen off time so
based off that
it's actually doing pretty well prior to
this with 13.6.1
i could get about 10 to 12 hours of
screen on time depending on what device
i was using
on the iphone 11 pro max that seemed to
be pretty typical now i did go into all
the comments since we're in later betas
to see what you were saying about
battery
and at the time i compiled all the data
42
58 percent of you had said that battery
was better than what it was with
previous betas
42 percent of you said that it was worse
so it's
better than it was in the past but it
still has some way has a ways to go
until it's really really good now it is
a beta so i don't
expect it to be great but it could be
caused from anything from widgets
to apps you're running in the background
and so i wouldn't be too concerned about
it
they'll fix that closer to the final
release now before we go into the
youtube community poll here are all the
different
issues that you mentioned based off all
the comments when i compiled this data
and then here are all of the different
devices that you were using when i
compiled the data as well
now let's go ahead and take a look at
the youtube community poll now i changed
up the poll a little bit compared to
last time and as you can see
that 13 000 people voted so i did remove
the android option because
there's two different betas going on now
i just thought we'd get more accurate
information that way
but over 13 000 people have actually
voted and there's 450 comments at the
time of this video
so we have a really good data subset to
figure out what this is really like
so 30 percent of you said that it was
great four percent said that it was
terrible
16 said okay but some bugs and two
percent of you said you're on the ios
13.7 beta which isn't much and i didn't
expect a whole lot of people to go on
that on to that beta 48 of you said you
were using ios 13.6.1 or older
so i think it's pretty encouraging that
it's getting better based off what we
had in the past but in general
it is a beta it will have bugs just keep
reporting them in feedback
now let's take a look at some of the
comments thomas baker said i'm using the
ipad pro 2018 and no problems so far
matthew dunn said my pinned
conversations keep going away
other than that it's working fine
anson chan said amazing battery life on
my iphone 11
only minor bug is that there are some
text overlays in the notes app
navigation buttons
otherwise excellent beta alastair
sonoram says
for my iphone 6s plus i think i like the
update
but seems to be an issue with wi-fi
connect being slow
queen bev says i'm just going to be safe
and wait until apple actually releases
the darn thing
using an older device and i know as soon
as i download it my phone is done
the older devices actually seem to be
performing pretty well which is
encouraging for future versions
mike smith says it's literally eating my
battery alive
connor says i'm having a lot of problems
on my 10s max battery life is horrible
airplay doesn't work in the background
anymore and airpods won't connect
automatically
and i can't see the battery on my case
now one thing i forgot to mention is
airplay sometimes works sporadically for
me sometimes it works fine
other times it just doesn't work at all
i have to reboot my phone and then it
works fine so it's kind of strange what
it's doing
thompson thomas says i'm experiencing
overheating issues with my
iphone 10 with ios 14 public beta 6
there's anybody else having the same
problem if so how can i fix it
and like i said it seems to be an issue
a lot of people are having
jason stroud said my battery life is
awesome on beta 6. i came straight
from ios 13.6 to this update and it has
improved only problem is a lag in
messages
and it freezes momentarily good update
iphone 11 pro max
blackburn 43 says quick question at
which battery health capacity must i
swap out the iphone 10 battery because
mine's at 96 percent
well apple says 80 after two years is
normal so
usually it will actually just tell you
that it's not performing properly under
those battery settings so
you'll be notified and then you'll know
when to swap it out now if you find you
have
very bad battery then you may want to
swap it but 96
is nothing to really worry about frank
walls says just updated and i lost my
blank home screen
i had a page with three widgets and my
most used apps and after i updated i had
screen
with all my apps i heard this is an
issue on ipad has anyone else have this
issue
and yes you can't have a blank home
screen anymore i don't know why apple
did that but
submit that in feedback and hopefully
they'll bring it back for those that
just want to see the wallpaper a seaf
sagill says hi aaron works perfectly
fine just like a final build on my
iphone 6s
and iphone 7. battery is pretty decent
just some minor bugs which you mention
in your vids
it's so smooth and stable svetoslav
popov i hope i'm saying that properly
said it took almost a whole year to make
ios 13 as stable as
as 12 before it and now again problems
with ios 14 the better part of the
coming year
it used to be different in the past at
apple judah marcus says great and
virtually no bugs on my iphone 8
battery life is normal slash good we'll
read a couple more
and mario goucher says iphone 10s max
here works fine i didn't encounter any
bugs so far max weigler says great on my
iphone 8 nothing to report
great battery life too zane said ios 14
beta 6 is very good on my 10r so far
no issues battery is a little better
than beta 5 great videos thank you
so that's it for ios 14 beta 6. now i'm
looking forward to weekly updates since
we'll have some pretty much button-down
features
everything's going to sort of stabilize
toward the end and then it will be
released to the public so i'm really
looking forward to that along with ios
13.7
i think it's kind of odd that apple did
a beta with this i'm not sure why they
didn't just release it to the public
so in general i think ios 14 beta 6 is
fairly stable
look for ios 14 beta 7 this week if
apple continues to do what they've done
in the past
and that's really it there's a bunch of
little features it's getting less and
less as we get closer to the final
release
but let me know what you want to see in
ios 14 or maybe future versions in the
comments below 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 video please give
it a like as always thanks for watching
this is Aaron i'll see you next time oh
and if you stuck around this long
thanks for watching do you prefer longer
videos or do you think i should shorten
them up a little bit
maybe condense them down to under 10
minutes if i can let me know in the
comments below
and thanks again for watching
so
you
