#iOS 14.5 beta 7
Text
1 year on...
Its been almost a year since I switched from Android to iPhone - a time in which I've been able to reason with, justify and understand various points with myself about why I made the switch - believe it or not it was just a feeling at the time I couldn't put my finger on.
My decision to move to iOS was something up until that point I'd managed to avoid. And the reasons are fairly simple, although they do sort of play into each other.
Android has, for the longest time, been slow. And I mean this in several respects, but mainly in two areas: software/security updates and hardware. Android devices tend to have a shelf life of about 2 years. Yes, you can always go further by installing custom ROMs (if you've the know how or inclination) but many people simply don't have the patience for any of that. Which is completely fair enough. Historically, I did, because I'm of that nerdy mindset, but as time went on there was less and less reason to do so. But two years isn't long. And Android is not optimised. When it just about runs on the hardware its released with, giving it two more versions of OS wont do anything good. This is why Android has such ridiculous specs on paper. It needs them to run the OS smoothly. Its nothing to do with being competitive, although it gets marketed like hell. Android, as an OS, is just ... a bit shit. People say, "yeah, well, I've got 18GB of RAM so my phone must be better." OK. Aside from literally zero applications or games needing that much space - making it utterly pointless - why is it better?
Apple build the hardware, to a point. Obviously not every component is theirs, but the silicon they make (thier A chips for example, or the M1) AND, perhaps most importantly, they make the software.
Google makes Android, sure, but they don't make it specifically for any one device. Historically they didn't even make thier own devices, it was contracted to someone else. HTC or LG or Samsung.
Apple makes the software and the hardware, so they can tailor their devices to it. So while it might seem like less on paper, in practice its extremely powerful and stable. And they provide updates 1) as soon as they are released for devices that support it and 2) for far longer than Android does.
Take the iPhone 6s/6s Plus as an example. In 2021, it is getting iOS 14 updates. It gets the beta updates too. 14.5 release candidate most recently but I happen to know the 14.6 beta just got released (ironically and somewhat hilariously before 14.5 is even publicly launched). The 6s line was released in 2015. At the time Samsung had the Galaxy S6 out. Which lasted from Android 5 to Android 7, and never got consistent monthly security updates. To this day they don't even have a consistent or solid beta program. HTC had a One model out, but same story.
Updates are important. They keep you secure. They keep you up to date. Android has always, ALWAYS been slow with updates because of one very important thing: fragmentation.
Fragmentation means that there are lots of different variations out there that are all over the place. And each one has its own "appearance" if you will. A manufacturer cant just push the latest Android, they need to update it with thier own themes and features. And then many carriers still insist on shovelling thier shit into the phones they release, so not only does the update have to go through the manufacturer, it also needs to go through the carrier, its just stupid. Its never just the OS as Google made it.
The other thing is my personal experience, but after a while it just got a bit ... annoying. And that is apps. Apps on Android, because of the aforementioned fragmentation issue (which is not just software - its hardware, a huge variety of screen sizes and densities, processors, radios, etc) apps are usually made to be "one size fits all", and in the process, often, they just ... dont. Facebook has been known to suffer from many many bugs on Android. Instagram has been proven to have better picture quality from an iPhone. They're also not always smooth and optimised as they could be ... because they can't be.
As I'm sure everyone on the planet has ever heard, stuff on Apple ... just works. Yeah, things crash occasionally, thats perfectly normal, particularly when you run on beta versions like I do. But in general, its a far more stable and clean experience.
Android may lay claim to being the most popular OS in the world but if you look a little deeper its ... not quite the case.
Yes, Android is wide spread, BUT ... the latest flagship devices? Not so much. Older versions of Android on budget cheap phones are usually what makes up the numbers here - Most of the Android users are on Android 10 (40.52%), Android 11 (8.9%) has been out for some time with a not insignificant number of devices on Android 9 and Android 8. As near as makes no difference 68 (67.76) percent of iOS users are on iOS 14.4 (14.4.2 being the current public release).
Granted, that doesn't necessarily mean that Apple flagships are beating Android flagships, since the devices on that software update range from the iPhone 6s to the current line of iPhone 12's. But thats a span of 5 years - and they still run as well as the day they came out. For me, that seals the deal.

Airpods Ios 14
Using an “audiogram” to customize amplification
An option to use “an audiogram from (Apple) Health to customize your audio” is also displayed in the leaked screenshots. This seems to indicate that the AirPods Pro will be capable of providing a very fine-tuned custom amplification experience, based on the audiogram (pitch-by-pitch hearing abilities) unique to the user. With third-party apps like Mimi, you can test your hearing and generate an audiogram, and with iOS 14, it looks like that audiogram can serve as the foundation for personalized amplification.
Skipping “Custom Audio Setup”
If you don’t feel like going through the listening tests, or loading in an audiogram, you’re in luck. https://foxmorning964.tumblr.com/post/657470894044823552/combine-two-columns-in-excel. Apple is also providing some general purpose audio enhancement options that should help those with milder forms of hearing loss. In the “Headphone Audio” settings, you will have the option to “tune audio” based on the following options:
Balanced Tone
Vocal Range
Brightness
Airpods Ios 14 Update
Jun 22, 2020 Apple Apple will release iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 on September 16, 2020. Here are the big features Apple announced for the latest versions of the iPhone and iPad operating systems—along with new features for watchOS 7 and Apple’s AirPods. Apr 28, 2021 Apple today released iOS and iPadOS 14.5, marking the fifth major updates to the iOS and iPadOS 14 operating systems that were initially launched in September. The wilds prime. IOS 14.5 comes three months after the. AirPods deliver a magical listening experience. With iOS 14, that magic has a few new tricks, whether you’re listening to music, catching up on a podcast, or taking in a movie.
Airpods Ios 14
Sep 17, 2020 I’ve just updated to iOS 14. I noticed that every time I’m listening to music with my AirPods Pro on, as soon as I unlock my phone a pop-up notification appears. Every single time. The first time it’s ok, but after a while is getting annoying. Any advice on how to deal with this? I’m already aware that my AirPods are connected.
Ios 14 Beta
Apple will also introduce a slider to increase the “boost” for soft sounds, from “slight” to “strong”. The new audio settings will work with Transparency mode on AirPods pro and phone calls and media on AirPods Pro, AirPods (2nd generation), EarPods, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Solo Pro.
