From the show iOS 14 is now more than 24 hours away, during which most of us have been able to properly absorb most of its news. Those who are less patient then immediately started to read it. beta testing that Apple launched almost immediately after the end KeynoteOf course, we in the editorial office couldn't help butchat test new iOS we installed it on our iPhones right after it was released Apple released the relevant update. Thanks to this, we can now say that we have been actively using it for almost a full day and therefore we have been able to get a fairly good picture of it. So what is it like? iOS 14 is in the 1st beta and is it worth upgrading to it?

Prothere are practically no problems
By far the most common question I get about iOS 14 I've personally heard in the last few hours is whether there are any bugs in it that make it impossible to use the phone normally. I can say for myself that I haven't encountered a single major bug on the iPhone XS that would at least partially fulfill the concerns above. Perhaps all the basic functions that I've tested so far run completely reliably and, most importantly, really fast - it feels even faster than on the last version iOS 13. I must praise Apple also for battery life, which has been a nightmare in previous years beta testers. It doesn't drop rapidly for me, quite the opposite. With standard use of the phone, I had about 20% more battery this afternoon than I did yesterday with the same use on iOS 13. So optimization doesn't seem bad to me in any way.
You don't have to worry about using third-party apps, which are of course the alpha and omega of iPhones. I tried a lot of them during the day and I didn't encounter any compatibility issues or similar issues with any of them. Even the banking apps – specifically ČSOB and Fio – run without any problems, which I tried in the first beta last year. iOS 13 could not say. I am absolutely delighted, honestly, with the still smooth cooperation between my Apple Watch a iPhonem. While last year I had to accept that notifications from my iPhone didn't go to my watch during the first betas, this year everything works perfectly smoothly. To be honest, I didn't really believe it and tested incoming notifications until last night to see if it was working. And thank God, it isn't.

Functionally, the news is still a bit faltering...
Although the previous lines probably sounded like I was iOS 14 absolutely thrilled, the truth is that I was a little disappointed by a few things. The first is the non-functionality of some of the new features, led by Picture in Picture, which Apple announced with great fanfare yesterday. Unfortunately, neither me nor my colleague is running the function /or at least we haven't figured out how to get it running/ and therefore I think she will have to Apple just added to the system. Another thing is a slight stutter when editing widgetwhich cannot be described as a particularly complicated operation, but it is still not 100%. I also find it quite strange that the adjustable widgetThere are quite a few of them yet. Sure, I understand that the developers didn't have iOS 14 access until yesterday and therefore could not prepare their applications for it. On the other hand, for example, Shazam, which has been owned for quite a long time AppleAfter all, he could offer some customization at the start. Fortunately, these are all things that can be fixed without major problems.

… but they will entertain you
These are the ones mentioned above. widgety, which I have spent the most time exploring and modifying so far. Many of you will probably want to stone me now, but I can say for myself that I am very happy about this new feature, because I think it is simply great. Customization Home It will take your iPhone screen to a new level and will definitely increase your productivity on your iPhone – that is, of course, if you learn to use them correctly. The great thing is that widgety are not just silly pictures displayed on the phone's screen, but interactive inputs to applications that display various data in real time, for which you simply open them to clarify. S widgetYou can play around with both the shape and scrolling, when on one hand widgetSeveral different locations can be added widgetand then scroll between them. So definitely thumbs up for this, it's an excellent solution.
What do you think of the new one? iOS 14?
I was also very pleased with the new Application Library - that is, a place where applications of the same focus are automatically grouped into different sections, which is great for your orientation. This library works de facto as a kind of hidden folder into which you can "throw" all the application ballast that you don't use, but for some mysterious reason you still believe that one day its moment will come, and you simply have peace of mind from it. Someone will probably object that the same thing could be done with folders up until now, but the application library feels like something completely different and has its own charm. In addition, the entire system this year is based a lot on various lists and overviews, which makes it perfectly searchable. So any kind of filing is now friendlier than ever. What I personally really liked about the Application Library is that everything is sorted into categories automatically, and it must be noted that, at least in my case, quite correctly. However, I have already read on the discussion forums that not everyone's ranking works as expected, so at least with bets you have to take this into account.
They handle quite a lot of different calls every day, which I often pick up even when I'm playing with something on the phone. I was even more pleased with the new feature in the form of a reduced interface for incoming call notification, which has a pleasant impression and, above all, allows you to complete all the actions in progress in the given application before you pick up the call. It should be noted that Apple In this regard, it does not push the saw at all and allows users to deactivate call notification with a smaller slide-out panel, just as it does not force them to use it. widgetand other similar things. In iOS So, 14 is something that everyone will find their own.

It is a good deal?
So if I had to summarize my feelings about the beta... iOS 14 after about a day of testing, I would rate it very positively. I don't feel any limitations when using it and I can honestly imagine that I would be able to operate on such a system without major repairs for several more months. On the other hand, it would be a mistake to think that it is beta absolutely perfect, because at least according to foreign discussion forums, some bugs appear in it from time to time. However, these are common with similar things, it is simply impossible to guarantee that they will be in your beta or not. This is, to put it mildly, a small bet on the lottery, the outcome of which is uncertain. However, it seems that even a bad result is not crazy. So if you have something to test iOS 14 taste and are willing to try a little in terms of error rate at worst, don't be afraid of installation.
My wifi doesn't work there.
Me neither.
Just manually reconnect the known network and everything works…
Everything works for me, including picture in picture. Tested in Safari, Horizon Go, Plex, Netflix, YouTube, picture-in-picture works for me everywhere, great, fast, …
I didn't find any errors or malfunctions in 22 hours, of course widgetThey are not yet fully fine-tuned, gaps, margins, etc., but they are functional.
When I am connected Airpody, so the headphone icon doesn't appear next to the battery. I don't know if it's just a problem Airpods, but it's confusing.
Is this a developer or public beta?
public bet will be in about a month, this is dev beta
public beta It will be in about a month, this is dev beta
Hey, I know, I'm just asking because it showed some people that they were pulling the audience beta
They thank you for the info about reporting the call apple Don't push! Somehow I'm not excited about it, Also don't push you widgety, thanks
Picture-in-picture only works on supported devices for now appkach..Twitch got it working for me, but VLC probably doesn't have support yet
So far everything is working quite well. Widgety without problems. Picture in picture works well too. I also updated to Watch os 7 and tried sleep —> health app in sleep section it crashes.
I then registered internet connection issues (either wifi or data) especially noticeable when connected to power.
All the apps work, including banking apps, which is a nice surprise. Overall, I find the phone faster and in just one day I get a much better personal hotspot compared to iOS 13.x
Testing on ip 11 pro max
Tested on 6s and everything went smoothly, I haven't encountered any problems yet, except for occasional missing translations. Fast and stable, no crashes so far, I'm really happy that it's 1st dev beta.
Everything works for me so far 👌🏻👌🏻 FaceID comes faster on my XR, the addition of the video recording function after holding the photo icon for a long time is great (only the new 11,11, XNUMXpro models had it) as well as detailed settings for the photo format directly in app The cameras are great...Siri which does not take up the entire screen when starting, the calling function is also great,widgetthey have to tune in the details, the speed of the system and the stability are a big surprise, nothing hangs, nothing falls..
Who is ofiko v Apple Developer, it has a list of all the bugs. There are a lot of them.. There have never been so many bugs in any beta. Not even iOS 11 wasn't as buggy.
Yes, I believe it... But we, apple sheep, will test the system...👎👎👎
Jandy: So you have access to that list? Will you share it with us?
Current knowledge (iPhone 7):
– Unable to launch some games (eg Ingress) even after reinstallation.
– Widget Weather has a problem with the current location - if I select it, it displays CupertinoIf I choose a specific location, it's ok.
– Watch: installed 3rd party complications are not visible in the app and therefore cannot be added to the modular watch face (must be done on the watch). This is a really fundamental problem.
– Widgety generally seem like an incomplete philosophy to me. There are only a few of them, they can't be resized, sometimes the translation is missing, they behave illogically... The only beneficial change is probably the ability to add them to the screen with standard icons, which, however, due to the size widgetThere is no win.
– Application library – the system will create some boxes in which it will place applications according to its own judgment. There's not much you can do about it, and I have no idea what it does against folders that can at least be organized by the user.
On the 7 plus, I find that the battery drains much faster.
Added the option of adding your own nickname to your payment card in wallet? So when you have two cards from the same bank so that a person can understand them? Such triviality and they can't implement it in two years :-(
SMS reply doesn't work for me when I have two SIM cards and someone calls me, can I call later? Then Pokemon GO doesn't work for me, the developers said it's not their priority, otherwise they wrote that it's public beta, and jiank those previews don't work in imessage? otherwise everything works and I really like the news
For me, it kept turning off on SE 2 and then restarting itself about 20 times. Nakonec my display went completely black and nothing happened. It cost 600 CZK to repair. So NO for me (of course it's everyone's business).
Hello, so far it's working as it should, but did you also have the system storage to 12GB?? I was a bit taken aback when suddenly I have almost full storage
