Apple has just released iOS 14 beta 2 for the iPhone and iPadOS 14 beta 2 for the iPad, and now we have a speed test of iOS 14 Beta 2 vs iOS 13.5.1.
The video below compares iOS 14 Beta 2 vs iOS 13.5.1 on a number of devices. If you want to see a specific device, the iPhone SE starts at 00:11, iPhone 6S at 07:30, iPhone 7 at 14:03, iPhone 8 at 20:14, and the iPhone XR at 26:46.
Performance Comparison
As we can see from the video, there do not appear to be any major speed improvements in this new beta in either the boot-up times or the various apps. This is somewhat expected as early beta versions often focus more on introducing new features and fixing bugs rather than optimizing performance. However, it is worth noting that the performance could vary depending on the specific device and its age. For instance, older devices like the iPhone SE and iPhone 6S might not see as significant improvements as newer models like the iPhone XR.
Future Expectations
This may change by the time the final version of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 is released. There will be many more beta releases before then, each potentially bringing incremental improvements in speed and performance. Apple typically uses the beta period to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments, so users can expect a more polished and optimized experience in the final release.
The final version of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 is expected to be released sometime in September or October, along with the new iPhone 12. This new iPhone model is anticipated to come with a host of new features and improvements, which could further enhance the overall user experience when paired with iOS 14.
In addition to performance improvements, iOS 14 is expected to bring a range of new features and enhancements. These include a redesigned home screen with widgets, an App Library for better app organization, and new privacy features that give users more control over their data. iPadOS 14 will also bring improvements tailored specifically for the iPad, such as enhanced Apple Pencil support and new multitasking capabilities.
Overall, while the current beta may not show significant speed improvements, it is just the beginning of the development process. Users can look forward to a more refined and optimized experience in the final release, along with a host of new features that will enhance the functionality and usability of their devices.
