iOS 14

    So Apple just dropped iOS 14 with a redesigned app screen for the first time since iOS was introduced. The Maps and Messages features are welcome, as well as the extras such as Clips and picture-in-picture mode. It will be interesting to see how stable this release is after iOS 13 was one of the more bug-filled releases.

    Anyone tempted to install the developer beta on their daily device? :)

    Not beta 1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,359 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    I’d never install the dev beta but am tempted at the public one. Don’t know if I wanna risk it though. Suppose it’s better to wait and see how buggy the update is.

    Going to try it on my ipad pro, downloading now. I might chance my iphone pro max if it seems ok on the ipad.

    Being able to use a 3rd party browser as your default browser is a big plus. No more Safari opening by default.

    Can only imagine that Apple are starting to really worry about the EU.

    If only they’d done it for maps too, to save us all having to suffer the absolute garbage that Apple maps gives us.

    So does this mean we are going to get these pop ups asking what browser ya want to use to open every link every time?

    Cool new feature of iOS 14, you can double tap the back of tour iPhone to trigger shortcuts (e.g. open Notification Center, camera etc.)

    I'd love the default music to be optional..

    I'll probably give the publlc beta a spin on my daily device. Might wait a couple of days to see how others are finding it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭deep1


    Have it installed since last night and not a single issue so far.
    No app crash, battery is good for 1st beta, very fluid, loving it so far. iPhone 11 Pro.

    Looking at Twitter, the general opinion seems to be pretty good across the board!

    I still try and use it because it fits in so much better in CarPlay. Hopefully the new updates for here announced will make it more useful.

    Developer account is needed at this stage isn’t it? I just stuck the Beta back on my ipad but it only updated to 13.6.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Shn99


    Is there something wrong with my phone? Installed the first beta last night and it runs perfectly! Very surprised

    Not sure about iPad but for iOS public profile is floating around and can be installed with dev account.

    You need to have right profile, you might have iOS 13 beta profile.

    I won't go near the Dev beta, but every year I say I'll wait until the final release, and every year I end up installing the Public Beta on my daily phone after about the second or third release. There's been a few glitches here and there, sometimes a bit of extra battery drain, but nothing that's so bad or lasts long enough that I regret it or revert back to the official release. Of course, there's no guarantees. We'll see how my patience lasts this year after the PB is out a while and people are using it.

    Once the first Public Beta comes out, you’re essentially just running the 2nd or 3rd Developer Beta at that stage. The only difference is the naming of them and if you’re on the developer profile, you usually get the updates a day or so early.

    True, but the PB (particularly after the 1st release) will have had a lot more people using it than the Dev beta, and more using it on daily devices rather than developer dedicated ones, reporting on real world issues, etc.

    For sure it’s more to highlight the reality that once it goes public, people are getting the same thing from then on. There is a common misconception that the developer beta is more of a risk for some reason when it’s the same builds.

    Yeah I think it must be that. I haven’t a developer account though anyway so I’ll check back for the 14 beta profile next month.

    Got the iPad profile from betaprofiles and then went to software update via settings

    Looks strange, anyone else see this? They’re one and the same so maybe it’s ok, not sure. iOS version was developer

    I installed it yesterday right after the keynote on my ip11 pro max which is my daily driver and I have to say so far it hasn’t skipped a beat! I’ve yet to encounter a single bug. Not a single app crashed on me all animations are smooth like butter no frames dropped nothing! And it’s blazing fast. I’m impressed. Feels like final release tbh. At least for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Shn99


    One would have to wonder will firms even take advantage of app clips in ireland?


  • Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I’ve stuck it on both now too. Apart from adding/removing widgets on iPad OS being a bit broken I’ve seen little else wrong. The apps asking for network access all the time is a little annoying though.

    Most of the time things like this get uptake within a 20km radius of San Francisco.

    The Weather widget on the home screen is a bit dodgy too. Lasted on my location for a while but now has just defaulted to Cupertino.

    Honestly surprised at how people are finding the dev betas so far, I expected a lot of bugs and issues that would make it a no-go. Especially with such drastic changes to the app layout and things like picture-in-picture. Not just simple app redesigns or small feature additions.

    I’ll be interested to see if macOS 11 is a mess this year, that had such drastic changes it probably takes a lot of hits.

    Still, it’s welcome Apple could pull together such a polished beta 1 especially with the current climate.

    MacOS Big Sur has lots of bugs, had to revert back to catalina earlier today. Ill hold out for the public beta

    I always love the days after the keynote where smaller features like this start to be discovered. There’s a lot to like in this release, event stuff like the smaller incoming call banner are really welcome changes.

    It’s brilliant. So much easier take a screenshot with it assigned to a double tap. I’ve Google Assistant on the triple but hopefully they allow the camera to be added to them.

    I'm extremely tempted to get the Developer Beta again this year, but I'd be concerned the AIB app won't work, which happened to me before.


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭turfthrower


    Running the developer beta on my iPad pro. It's rock solid. I'm really surprised. I only installed it last night, so perhaps it'll implode later, but so far so good.

    As someone said already, it's super impressive that they got a beta so refined for its first exposure to developers, given they have been dealing with the virus like everyone else. Obviously having their own developers working from home has had advantages. Less time wandering around a Cupertino office having coffee and watching Apple TV.


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭turfthrower


    AIB Mobile Tablet app is working perfectly, for the person who was concerned about that. I still wouldn't put this on my main iPhone - it's too important for work to me - but there you go.

    Running it since Monday and no issues with the AIB app, works as expected. Really surprised how solid this release is. I've religiously installed the dev beta on day one for the past few years and this is the most solid it's ever been.

    So far only issues with 2 apps, All 4 randomly crashes when trying to play a show, takes 3-4 attempts to get it going (only seen this on Apple TV, twice so may have been a glitch).

    Nintendo Switch app seems to hang when trying to log in. No way around it from what I can see.

    Been using it on my iphone the last day or so now. Seems quite stable no issues.


  • Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It seems far buggier on the iPad but I’m happy enough to leave it as I don’t rely on that as much. Apart from a few little glitches with the weather widget the phone has been bang on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 488 ✭✭Metalpanic


    Had the weather widget glitch too, but cleared after a restart. The only other bug I've noticed is the clearing storage part of iPhone Storage in Settings is totally bugged. It crashes if you try to free up space in an app. Also double tap the back of the phone can be triggered by putting the phone down on the table, so going to just use triple tap!

    There’s no eircodes yet so I hope this isn’t it anyway.

    Not having the Eircodes like Google Maps is a huge reason that i can't use Apple Maps.

    I installed iOS 14 developer beta 14 on my secondary iPhone 6S first and had no issues so have install now on my main phone, an iPhone X. Absolutely no issues so far. Seems like they are more solid than previous early beta builds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,359 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    Worth mentioning that things can sometimes break as the betas go on, so even though everything might be smooth now there’s a chance apps can break down the line.

    Yeah I have seen that before. I notice that Sky Go is not working on iPhone or iPad now. App just dies on startup.
