Hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and
ios 14 developer beta 3 and public beta
3 have been out for
a few days and i've been using it
primarily on my iphone 11 pro max
as well as my 2020 12.9 inch ipad pro
and i also have it on the iphone 7 here
so i want to talk about how it's been
for me
and then talk about how it's been for
you based off the youtube community poll
and talk about battery and other issues
as well and when we may see
an ios 14 beta 4 and other releases as
well
and so the first thing is my iphone has
been pretty good i know some people are
having issues i'll talk about that in a
moment
but in general my iphone is doing pretty
well i haven't had many issues but i did
have my airpods pro
kind of just disappear off of my
bluetooth connection so i had to repair
it
it's not a big deal but it was kind of
odd i had to reset the airpods pro
and then they worked fine i've had no
issues with performance i've really had
no bugs
i know some people are having issues
with some of the widgets i'll talk about
in a moment
and you'll see if we go in here it seems
to be up to date on the weather widget
for me
i'm really not seeing any issues as far
as apps opening
performance or anything else however i
am having
issues with my ipad specifically with
notes and
sometimes using the magic keyboard so on
my ipad pro
let me rotate the screen here let me go
into notes
so within notes i'm having an issue
where i just can't enter
text whether i'm using the magic
keyboard or just the ipad itself
i can't enter text and i found this to
be the case
many times using notes today when i was
taking notes for this video for example
and so i wasn't able to enter text i
actually had to hard reboot the ipad
then i could enter text but then it
would only work on one window and not
split view and it's been
really buggy it's not buggy on my iphone
but just my ipad so i think that's kind
of strange now on my iphone if i go into
notes you'll see that the text works
just fine i can type hi
or whatever i want to say how are you
today
and it works just fine for some reason
it doesn't work well
on my ipad so that's kind of odd however
everyone seems to be saying that
performance is really good
that's including the iphone 7. so even
the older devices it seems to be okay
i've had no issues going into different
apps
i've had no hiccups no slowdowns nothing
at all
it seems to be working just fine so
you'll see it's zipping right along so
i'm pretty impressed with the
performance
but many of you are having issues with
everything from widgets to
some other things now the first thing is
before i talk about any of that
many people are concerned and not
updating to beta 3 because of 3d touch
apple said it's a known issue that it's
temporarily disabled
the keyword being temporarily that means
apple will bring it back so on the
iphone
7 like this one if i press and hold the
menu will come up it's just not using
the pressure layer to do it so you don't
lose any features
but it just means that they had to turn
off that pressure layer maybe they were
having issues and beta 3 code wasn't
working on it so they've temporarily
disabled it so that's for the iphone 6s
6s plus 7 7 plus and
8 and 8 plus anything that uses a
pressure layer under the display
isn't working right now that's okay
because it will work properly in the
future
iphone 10 of course 10s also have that
pressure layer
so it will work in the future right now
it's not
but you can still use the menus and
everything now as far as issues people
are seeing well a lot of people are
saying the clock widget isn't working
well
so if you're using that clock widget
they're saying that it's losing time so
if we press and hold i'll add the clock
widget here
wait here we'll add the clock widget
they're saying that it loses time when
they're using it so
i have this widget here we'll add it
here and you'll see there's some weird
bugs going on
but if i go back home slide back over it
works
people are saying that it's losing time
and this may be because apple does not
update the widgets in real time per
their code right now now i'm sure
they'll have something that will resolve
this in the future
but with beta 3 it's a little bit buggy
also a lot of people are having issues
with the weather widget not showing up
in fact when i first installed beta 3
the weather widget was completely black
i couldn't get it to come back
i had to delete the widget go into the
app then re-add the widget
and then it seemed to work for me so if
you're having that issue try that try
rebooting
but it should work other people are
having issues with
siri shortcuts so if you're using
shortcuts
and you're having an issue with it well
some people are having issues with this
but others are not but most people are
saying that if the shortcuts are working
they can't use siri with it so maybe
they want to use siri to activate one of
these shortcuts and it's just not
working for them so
keep that in mind again it is a beta and
then others are saying that banking apps
are not working so if you have specific
banking apps
mine seem to be working okay but if you
have banking apps that aren't working
they may be working in the future but
just keep in mind
some apps don't work early on pokemon go
didn't work
some others didn't work and it still may
not be working now so
it just depends others are having issues
with safari crashing
with video on websites that seems to be
more specific to the ipad
i personally haven't seen that and then
others are saying there's odd behavior
with
voice over and then a lot of other
people are saying it's great
but just keep in mind that's why this is
a beta the idea is to
figure out what's going on what devices
are experiencing this problem because
there's
millions and millions of them out there
and apple's trying to figure out what's
going on
maybe a specific year with a specific
cpu in it like the iphone 7 is having
issues
or maybe it's just there's some weird
bug with the widgets and apple's still
working on it just keep in mind it's a
beta and even though we're in a later
beta than we were last week
we may still have more issues than we
did with beta 1 or 2. now let's take a
look at the battery
battery has not been great for me it's
been about the same as beta 1 and 2
but if we go into the battery my battery
health is at 96 percent as i said the
other day
it's pretty normal given the age of this
phone at this point eighty percent after
two years is normal
and as you can see here the other day or
yesterday
i had four hours and eleven minutes of
screen on time 2 hours and 2 minutes of
screen off time and use 75
of my battery that's actually pretty
awful for this phone
if we take a look at let's take a look
at 2 days ago 3 hours and 56 minutes of
screen
on time 5 hours and 23 minutes of screen
off time
and i was using about 60 percent of my
battery that's better but it's still not
what i was getting with beta or ios 13.6
for example
so that's okay it's an early beta
developers are going to focus more on
battery once they wrap up their code and
get things fixed as far as bugs
so just keep that in mind when you're
using a beta don't expect good battery
life it's just not something to look
forward to when you're going to an early
beta of a next version so
as we get closer to the final release
which will probably be
in september or october at this point
it's hard to say look for that to get
more stable and to have
more battery life overall now before we
take a look at the youtube community
poll and some of the comments
ios 13.6.1 may be coming out this week
or next
although there's no confirmation or no
internal information that i have on that
but the reason i say that is apple
stopped signing ios 13.5.1
meaning you can no longer downgrade to
it they won't allow it so that usually
means there's going to be another
version
but there's no guarantee of that but
that's generally what it means based on
all the data from before
now ios 14 beta 4 may come out this week
if apple switches to a weekly cycle as
they do later in the cycles
last year they switched to weekly cycles
around beta 4
so it's possible we'll have that
although because we may not see a final
release
later in the year than normal or until
later in the year than normal
expect maybe we're still on a two-week
cycle we'll know that for sure next week
of course
now as far as all of the issues
mentioned here are all the issues
mentioned
and as well as all the issues here are
all the devices that were mentioned in
the youtube community poll comments so
thanks to everyone that commented and
left what device you're using
now let's take a look at the poll now at
the time of this video there's 6.3 k
votes or 6 300 plus votes so i
appreciate everyone that voted
and you'll see 21 percent of you have
said that ios 14 beta 3 is great
only 2 percent are saying it's terrible
but 16
of you are saying you have some bugs
this is a little bit higher than we had
before so combine that with terrible we
have about 18 percent of you that are
actually using this that are saying it's
got a bunch of bugs which we kind of
know this from posts online
also 45 percent of you have not updated
yet so you're sitting on
public versions or older versions and
then 15 percent of you consistently
are using android so thanks again for
voting even though this
video is only about ios now there are
260 comments of which i took all the
information i shared earlier
let's take a look at some of them and
the first one says can you use use
widgets or nah
well you can use them they're updating
sort of in real time
they're not working 100 yet but one that
comes out to the public it should work
just fine
so it seems to be okay iphone 11 pro
finally the storage bug is fixed and
less freezes and bugs found throughout
the os
overall seems like a good build and
looking forward to the final gm
that's a little ways away but it's good
so far i'm pretty impressed with how
stable it is given how early on it is
iphone 7 better than the first betas i'm
using it on the iphone 11 pro max
some bugs from the previous version have
been fixed but there are other ones
which remain
the music widget on my phone still
doesn't work my bank app
or my bank app neither and the battery
is draining a bit faster than in beta 2.
pro max
and the 2018 ipad pro great clock widget
has
bad batteries and keeps losing time no
major issues in this one yet and i'm
wondering if you're saying the clock
widget is actually using more battery
and you've found that it's not using as
much when you're not using it
that would be an interesting experiment
to run i'm using ios 14 beta 3 on iphone
11 i'm just having problems with widgets
really great on the iphone 6s plus and
it's always great to see that it's
working well on
older phones as well and again pretty
good on my iphone 7
but still a few crashes here and there
albeit not as many as the last two betas
every time a new update comes out it
crashes my iphone se second gen and it
has to attempt to get my data back
it has so far gotten it back both times
but still shouldn't happen
i'm using ios 14 public beta 3. that's
the danger of using a beta sometimes
occasionally it will crash when you're
trying to install an update and
many people are having a few of having
some issues installing this update
as compared to beta one or two so i'm
not sure what that's about
i forgot to mention that but some people
are having issues with that
honestly battery life is better than ios
13 on my seven plus home screen widgets
don't update for me
i have stocks clocks and podcast widgets
otherwise it's pretty stable
battery isn't good for the iphone 10r
i'm really hoping we see a battery fix
for beta
4. i wouldn't count on it until we're
closer to maybe beta 7 or something
along those lines
iphone 10s here clock widget the clock
widget is not working for me i had to
delete it from my home screen
time does not synchronize sometimes when
changing cities
the clock doesn't start moving and
eventually it gets several minutes
behind the real time
same thing with the world clock widget
phone restarts
sometimes the springboard crashes and
restarts the phone
just by doing nothing even at the lock
screen i've had crashes
phone restarting while using the app
library while editing the clock widget
and once the phone restarted while
searching for something on tweetbot i
never had any of these problems with
beta 2 or 1
so terrible for me thinking about going
back to ios 13
until beta 4. it's running incredibly
well on my iphone 7
and iphone se first gen i haven't
experienced any major issues so far
only a few small bugs battery life is
amazing on my iphone 7 with 94 percent
max capacity and way better than ios
13.6
on my iphone se with 86 percent max
capacity overall absolutely satisfied
with ios 14 so far iphone 10 clock
widget freezes and shows the wrong time
in shortcuts wi-fi isn't available these
are the only problems i have
otherwise i'm very satisfied with it
very good on my iphone 10r
battery life isn't the greatest but that
is to be expected
great videos thank you for me it's way
worse than public beta 2. the weather
widget is gone on my ipad pro
10.5 siri shortcuts does not work with
hey and then when you say the word siri
at all and even sometimes gives me
errors when using manually
it sometimes randomly rotates and the
ipad crashes when i add two widgets to
the home screen
and add them to always shown window but
at least the storage bug is gone
when using the iphone 8 having issues
with the clock widget the clock keeps
freezing
and stops moving have to restart the
phone to refresh the time
using voiceover the native notes app no
longer works properly you can't enter
text or interact with the note
same issue i'm having and so and then it
has been nice
and so it seems to be not as good as ios
14 beta 2 but again there's more
features
some things are better some are i would
say performance is better that's it for
ios 14 beta 3
now again like i said look for ios 14
beta 4
maybe as soon as this week but who knows
at this point apple's been changing
things up a lot but based on what they
did last year
it could be as soon as this week now
other than that if you found anything i
didn't mention
in this particular video as far as bugs
let me know in the comments below and
also new features that i didn't mention
in the first video and the follow-up
video i did with more new features
