Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and
ios 14 beta 7 has been out to both
developers and ios 14 public beta 7 came
out
the same day just a little bit later and
so i've been using it on my iphone 11
pro max i also have it on the iphone 11
here
as well as the iphone 6s plus and the
2020 ipad pro 12.9
now i've primarily been using it on the
ipad and by iphone
so let's go ahead and talk about a
couple new things that i missed in the
initial what's new video
later we'll talk about bugs things
they've fixed and
then the youtube community poll and how
it's been for you now the first thing is
a couple small features some people are
seeing this dock
turn a black color or change a darker
color
now i'm on dark mode right now so you'll
see that it's going to be a little bit
darker if i go back to light mode
go back to dark it will darken and
that's pretty normal but some people are
seeing it go even darker than that so
apple could continually be tweaking this
making it a little bit darker maybe more
transparent it's hard to say but we'll
see once the final version comes out
now another small change they keep
changing the page dots at the bottom
so you can see the page dots here if i
bring in ios 14 beta 6 here on the
iphone X
r you can see the page dot spacing
continually changes it's
as though they keep moving it up and
then back down now it's back up
some of the spacing around the dots has
actually changed so it's a little bit
different than it was before
not a huge difference but it's a little
bit different also
some people on reddit are seeing some
interesting siri suggestions now some
people were able to clear it i wasn't
able to find that
but you can see this user on reddit here
said
making a lot of phone calls this mom
person is very popular
so siri is telling them that hey you're
making a lot of calls to this specific
person
and it's telling you your most popular
caller so that's pretty interesting i
thought it was an interesting find
and some people are able to actually
clear siri suggestions i wasn't able to
find this
a new ui to sort of clear this so maybe
if we had siri suggestions for apple
i can't clear any of those so some
people are seeing that i'm not
however there's an interesting trick in
safari that isn't new to this particular
version
but is a new ui compared to before so if
you hold the back button
you'll see it gives you all of the
recent websites you've been to
so that's nothing new but they changed
the ui this used to be full page
now it's just a small snippet there so
it's just a small little change i didn't
mention in previous videos so i thought
i'd mention it here
now there's a couple things that a few
people have mentioned but i haven't been
able to see myself
for example if we go into mail in mail
some people are saying that when they go
to select a bunch of emails at once
it has a different color for them this
has always been gray for me in fact let
me go over to
beta 6 and you'll see on the left with
beta 6 it looks the same for me but some
were saying the blue color has gone away
i'm still seeing it so it's still there
for me
now as far as this particular update
there is
one other thing that keeps changing for
a lot of people and that is the weather
widget it keeps
changing from this style to a style
that's a little bit more vertical
now some people were saying that this
changes based off of time of day and
everything else i haven't been able to
correlate it to a time of day
so dark mode night morning light mode it
didn't seem to matter sometimes it looks
like this
other times it's more vertical if you've
figured out exactly why it's doing that
i'd love to hear from you in the
comments below
so there aren't a ton of other features
in here but there is some good news as
far as bugs
now a few people were saying that they
were able to see 4k
youtube videos that weren't able to see
it before that's actually controlled by
youtube so
i'm seeing them on my iphone 11 pro max
and my ipad pro so
those 4k videos are there and they
should be playing
just fine so some people are seeing them
let me check on the iphone 11 to see if
i have it there even though this is not
a 2160 or 4k screen now you can see on
my iphone 11
that i have up to 1080p so i don't have
2160p
or 4k and that's because the screen
doesn't go up to that resolution
however some people with lower
resolution screens are seeing that
option
so whether or not this sticks once the
final version comes out is hard to say
but i keep getting questions about that
so
it's controlled completely by youtube if
you want to try it close out the app try
it again and see if it shows up for you
now a good thing is airdrop seems to be
working properly across all my devices
now so
oftentimes i'd have to reboot my phone
to get it to work properly
and then also tapping the apps in the
app list seemed to work properly now so
if we go into maybe
home it opens quickly even if you tap to
the left of it it seems to be working
again so
i swiped off of it there so as long as
you get within the app
it seems to respond much better than it
did on the previous version
so that's a really good sign now overall
it's been pretty stable
and those were the only bug fixes i
actually saw but quite a few other bugs
still exist
i have seen youtube crash a few times on
my phone
and mostly on the ipad so on the ipad
the experience has been mostly stable
with the exception of youtube crashing
or locking up
so i've seen that a couple times and
then also i've got this weird bug that
if i'm using split view with multiple
applications
and then i use the magic keyboard
sometimes the keyboard itself won't work
i can use the keyboard on screen and the
trackpad on the magic keyboard
but not the trackpad and keyboard so
it's a weird bug i've encountered
i've seen it a few times i'm not sure
what's causing it but it seems to happen
more in split view than anything else
otherwise the experience on the ipad has
been rock solid for me in fact
most of the time you wouldn't know that
it's a beta at all
however on the iphone like i said
there's still a couple issues
so for example twitter is frozen on me a
couple times
also youtube like i said and also some
people are seeing
in wallpaper where it's blurring the
wallpaper in the background
i'm not seeing this it's not blurring it
weird but some people are seeing it when
they go into wallpaper
one will be very blurry the other one
won't it'll be super blurred on one side
and not the other
and we haven't seen a new wallpaper
picker like some people were saying we
were going to see so
maybe it has something to do with that
but i haven't seen it malfunction
personally but i know a lot of people
are now also some people are reporting
that when you go to the lock screen and
you press and hold on the camera
and it opens up some people are saying
it's super laggy and not responding
properly or working properly
i personally have not seen that but
quite a few people have messaged me
about that
also speaking of the camera on some of
the older devices
mirroring the front camera is not there
so mirroring the front display
so let's go here we'll go to our camera
app here
and you'll see mirror front camera some
people are saying it's disappeared on
the older
versions of iphones or the older iphones
it seems to be present in my devices
although let's go down to front camera
here wherever that is
there we go and you'll see mirror front
camera is there so it just depends on
the device you have
if you're on an older phone like an
iphone 6s plus hopefully they'll bring
it back
there's no reason for it to go away
maybe they just had some bugs with it in
this particular update
but we'll check for it once it comes
back and hopefully it'll be there now
also pokemon go does not work on this
still so quite a few people are saying
that it won't work i actually
installed it it just won't even open so
it probably has something to do with the
camera and augmented reality something
to do with the new code
once pokemon go updates that app it
should work but if you're playing call
of duty mobile
well that seems to work just fine i've
been playing it not on this but i've
actually been playing it on the ipad
quite a bit
and then also people on the ipad are
saying they're seeing a weird bug
i've not experienced this but some
people are seeing some of the native
apps
sort of shrink their icons to a point
where they look small compared to the
other ones maybe half size
and then the screen is flashing i'm not
experiencing this on this latest ipad
and i haven't seen it on the ipad air 2
so hopefully it's not showing up for
most of you but a couple people have
complained about that now while i was
making this video someone pointed out on
the telegram channel i have a zolotek
telegram channel
and discord linked in the description
but someone pointed out a quick way to
clear notifications that i hadn't seen
before i thought it was pretty
interesting his name is boss so if you
scroll down
press and hold on the x to clear the
notifications
tap clear it actually clears them all so
you could have a hundred in there it
will clear them all it seems to work
every time i tried it on the iphone 11
and it cleared them all right out so i
thought that was pretty interesting
it's a nice little tip now i haven't
been having any issues with performance
i haven't had any issues with widgets
personally
however people do keep asking me when
are we going to see a new widget from
say a third party
and that actually depends on when
someone creates the app
they actually have to update that
particular part of the app with a new
widget
now unfortunately we won't see those
until the final release but you can see
i have a wikipedia widget
so when the third-party apps update or
you're using beta updates
those widgets will show up and then you
can use them on your phone so
you'll see those widgets in the future
it's kind of interesting they just have
photos of the day
but if you install them using test
flight if you want to be a beta tester
you can try out multiple apps that
people are offering and then you'll see
those third-party widgets
of course it's a beta so those apps
could be unstable and
i thought that was interesting so i
can't wait until ios 14 is released so
we see all of those widgets
and speaking of when ios 14 is released
it seems like there's going to be an
event or some sort of notification or
mention of some new products on this
tuesday so
we may see that that seems to be from a
fairly reliable source
not just john prosser but others are
saying this at this point
and so we'll probably see that and john
prosser has never been wrong about a
date so we'll probably see it there
but we should see ios 14 released
probably in a few weeks in fact i would
think we'll see ios 14 beta 8 this week
i think we're on a weekly cycle like i
said before
and i would expect it sometime in the
middle of this coming week that could be
tuesday could be wednesday or thursday
again
and then maybe a gm the following week
and a final release the week of the 21st
and the reason or the week of the 20th
and the reason i say that is because
in the past that's sort of the week they
released ios 14.
now they could push that back based on
what they're going to do and based on
the delay we had with ios 14 beta 1
but expect at least i think another beta
then the gm
then a final so a few weeks away and of
course i'll keep you updated as soon as
i know more as far as that goes but i
would expect a beta this coming week
of course apple could change it up it
could be a couple weeks again
but hopefully we see some updates now
let's take a look at my overall battery
life on my iphone 11 pro max
and my battery health is still at 96
percent
and this can vary depending on your
phone how you charge it and use it and
like i said before
the updates don't affect battery health
they're just simply rechecking the
battery
so all batteries degrade unfortunately
until someone develops a better battery
android phones cars everything using
batteries will degrade over time
now my battery life on the first day i
installed it was actually okay
five hours and eight minutes of screen
on time four hours and seven minutes of
screen off time
using about sixty five percent of my
battery
now i'm still getting about nine or ten
hours of screen on time on this phone
however that's not the 10 or 12 hours i
was getting before i'm getting a lot of
screen off time playing music and things
like that
but you'll see yesterday wasn't that
great at all 2 hours and 42 minutes of
screen on time
5 hours and 38 minutes of screen off
time and i used about 50 percent of my
battery so it really varies from day to
day
depending on what day it is what device
i'm using it's going to vary
but most people are saying it's better
there are some that are experiencing
worse battery life but if it's bad
after the first day or two maybe
try rebooting it otherwise it should be
fine just give it a couple days to sort
of stabilize
and make sure you're not running any
apps in the background that are causing
sort of that sort of drain
there may be something running and of
course you can just check that down here
now based off the youtube community poll
here are all the issues that people were
mentioning so 85 people mentioned
battery now this could be good or bad
most people are actually saying it's
much better than earlier betas
a few people are having their phone heat
up and it getting a little bit hot
and then a few people are having issues
with mail but connectivity in general
only
one person mentioned wi-fi a separate
person mentioned lte and another
mentioned problems with bluetooth
that's out of hundreds of people so
that's a pretty good sign that this is
fairly stable
now should you update or install ios 14
beta 7 i would say you should absolutely
install ios 14 beta 7
if you're a beta tester since this
particular version is getting later and
later
it's getting more and more stable and of
course apple uses that feedback if
you're having a major problem to
actually
resolve issues so you want to make sure
you report that
in your feedback app to apple and then
they'll prioritize it based on issues
that you're having so
hopefully they'll get the major issues
fixed and then they'll work on the
smaller bugs and i think they're getting
really close to a final release now
other than that here are all the
different devices you've been using
so that's based off the community poll
of people that said that and let's take
a look at the poll itself
also ram management has been pretty good
when i opened this up it'd been open for
quite some time and it was still on this
page it didn't reload youtube so
most people are not having issues with
ram management in fact
zero people mentioned it at the time of
collecting the data for this video now
you can see here there are
7 500 votes or 7.5 k votes based on
what you've done so far today and then
there are 213 comments
now 41 percent of you have said that
it's great only three percent are saying
it's terrible
ten percent are having bugs and then 46
percent of you are
on 13.7 or older that's usually
pretty typical that almost 50 percent
are on public versions
and a few people are taking a risk with
the beta i would say it's not very risky
at this point but you still could have
issues
now as far as the comments let's take a
look at some of them let me sort them
and we'll take a closer look
now the first one from justin says i use
my iphone XR
on ios 14 beta 7 but when i go into the
nascar app it kicks me out almost all
the time
and that's very similar to what you get
with pokemon go seems to be doing the
same thing
mark said iphone X and it's pretty
rough at times imessage closes on its
own keyboard disappears in the middle
of typing and battery life isn't very
good veteran beck says running great on
iphone 8 plus
some apps hang a bit but nothing major
larry bogg says seems to be good so far
just a couple of issues
using on my iphone 7 plus i and my ipad
pro
2020 will install it on my daily driver
iphone 11 this weekend
ashley hudson said 11 pro max and it's
running smoothly for me
battery is good ronald sherk said i have
a bug in the control center
on iphone 11 pro max for home favorites
five blank toggles
does anyone have this in beta seven and
yes i have a blank space again
it comes and goes it's kind of
interesting sometimes it's there
sometimes it's not so it's kind of
strange how that
keeps coming back the tree overlord says
on iphone XS and going great
backtap has gotten worse and barely ever
works anymore i saw a couple people say
that i forgot to mention it that
the backtap feature only works
occasionally so hopefully
that's working israel jesus says thank
god they fixed my XS max smart battery
case issue
what an annoying issue that or annoying
week that was so with beta 6 the smart
battery case wasn't working
and it seems to be working again stephen
mccoyle said still no default apps just
got on the beta and was looking forward
to it
so the feature is technically there but
the app developer has to meet a couple
criteria in order for that to work
so i wouldn't expect to see that feature
actually work properly until
ios 14 is released to the public so a
mail developer or mail app developer for
example has to
flag and add a couple apis into their
code
in order for that to work properly so
again don't expect that until the final
release
kaza ralph says i apologize if i said
that wrong having overheating issues
since beta 4 and still persisting in
beta 7 on my iphone XS
very disappointed and sad with the beta
overall daniel sparks says using it on
my iphone XS max and the battery life
is garbage worst battery in all ios 14
betas
jeremy debose says pro max and ipad pro
really great performance so far battery
life seems better
scribble on ipad is still weird i'm not
even in the text field on some apps
and and then it goes automatically into
scribble mode
pikaboo says i'm using the iphone XS
and there seems to be a significant
improvement in
in battery life and the airpods text
error message bug has now been fixed
the update has been really smooth for me
the best beta so far
dave cormack says getting more solid on
the iphone 8 plus
jeffrey vener said iphone 11 great
battery smooth scrolling good
performance widgets working well
like new wallpaper options and then
joseph mignon said hopefully i said that
right
i love it and it works great on my
iphone 11 pro max and love your videos
and thank you very much
now ios 14 beta 7 doesn't really have
much more in it we're getting closer to
that final gm or golden master version
so expect ios 14
beta 8 this coming week like i said a gm
later on
and then the final release within a few
weeks now ios 12
actually had 12 betas so it could vary
depending on what apple decides to do
but hopefully we'll see it sooner rather
than later and of course if there's new
updates and news and everything i cover
that on mondays
and then if we have anything new on
tuesday of course i'll keep you informed
there as well
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
