hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 12.1.3 to
the public this has been in beta for four different betas and is finally out
now this release came in at two point seven four gigabytes if you were on the
beta and it could be a little bit less depending on what device you're on as
you can see here's my iPad pro and it came in at three hundred and twenty
seven point six megabytes so depending on your device and what version you're
on it will vary as far as that goes now before we take a look at the build
number if you're on the beta and you want to get this update what you need to
do is delete the beta profile that's found under general scroll down you'll
see the profile here once you go into profile delete that profile and then
either check for an update if you're not seeing it then reboot and check for an
update and you should have this update this update let's take a look at the
build number you can see the build number is sixteen d40 and this is a
newer build number as compared to the beta so this is a newer version there is
not a whole lot of changes with this one but before we talk about what's new
let's take a look at the storage before and after so I took a screenshot of the
storage before I was using 43 gigabytes prior to this and system was using
sixteen point six four and this storage will vary depending on what I phone it
is and what it's doing in the background so let's take a look at storage now
we'll go back to general and then iPhone storage and now we're using forty five
point seven gigabytes or forty five point nine you see it won't just went up
there and that's probably because it's doing things in the background and just
keep in mind when you install a new update like this it may be a little bit
slow in fact this was a little bit sluggish at first but we are using less
system storage right now now again this could change in the future but right now
we're using ten point nine four gigabytes so that's pretty good now
let's talk about what's actually new in this particular update so the first
thing is there is nothing as far as mentioning any issues with Wi-Fi or LTE
being fixed so Apple has not acknowledged this however in the
previous beta people didn't notice the modem number changed under the system
down in here there's a modem and that modem changed and some people
are saying LTE is better although Apple doesn't acknowledge it or acknowledge an
issue with LTE Bluetooth Wi-Fi any of those issues in this update just keep
that in mind the next thing though they did fix is an issue an iMessage that
could impact scrolling through photos in the detail view so they should have
fixed that along with the share sheet so let me go into iMessage now I'm in
photos in iMessage and scrolling seems to be working in the detailed view and
also keep in mind that before or at least for me this button wasn't even
working in the previous beta so they fixed that and it seems to be working
okay and photos is working well now as far as scrolling in iMessage now the
other thing is they fixed an issue that could cause audio distortion when using
external audio on an iPad pro now this is only specific to the 2018 iPad pros
so if you have a 2018 iPad pro and you were using a third-party device through
USB or external audio input devices that should be fixed also if you're using
carplay and you are having issues on the iPhone XR, XS, or XS Max
that's now fixed as far as some of the issues they were having with it
disconnecting so it's only specific to the newer phones now one thing they
didn't mention that I thought was interesting is in the health app let me
see if I can find it here so it's actually under extras so in the health
app when you're using voiceover in the ECG under your heart or your health data
some of the voiceover wasn't working here with your actual health and heart
data so if you were trying to get it to read back to you it wouldn't work
now they address this in a previous beta but they never mentioned it with this
update so I'm not sure if that's actually fixed hopefully it is and they
just didn't mention it in this particular update but it was mentioned
in some of the notes on previous versions now as far as fixes that's
pretty much it except for a home pod they mentioned two different things so
let me go into the home pod we'll go to settings so if you didn't know how to do
that what you want to do is go into your home app and then we'll go back 3d touch
or just hold on your actual home pod hit settings and
you'll see there's an update for twelve point one point three there's two issues
that it fixes one is an issue that could cause home pod to restart and another
one addresses an issue that could cause serious stop listening on the home pod
and not work properly they haven't mentioned anything about
sound quality or any of those things being fixed now as far as battery life
on the beta's and you saw maybe that just stuttered a little bit but battery
life on the beta's has actually been pretty good in fact it's been better
than the previous version of iOS for many people in many of the polls in the
follow ups i've done people have said it's been great you'll see my battery
health is 100% on my XS Max and my actual battery life over the past 10
days you'll see I switch phones a lot but over the past 10 days 3 hours 53
minutes 49 screen off time but that's after having 60 percent battery life at
the end of the day so I could probably get about 8 hours of screen on time if I
used it all day long and that's something that I think is
really good with this update it's been holding out really well as far as
battery now as far as this public release goes and battery life that takes
a few days to know for sure you cannot tell in the first day there's
just no way without using the battery and cycling it a couple times to see
what the battery life is actually like with real world use now let's take a
look at the speed now speed on all of these devices is nice and fast you'll
see scrolling across all of them this is a 6s plus my 10's my 5s we'll take a
look at that in a moment XR and 8 plus all the newer phones are
going to be fast but one of the tests I've done over and over has to do with
Minecraft and while I don't play this a lot one of the tests is just opening it
and seeing how long it takes to create a world and the reason I do that is we can
compare this from the previous versions to this one and if it's fast and not
taking a lot of time then it's doing pretty good and this one's loading fast
for a 5s so we'll wait for it for just a moment here so the game is loading we'll
hit play create new create new world create so
things are moving pretty quickly obviously you're not going to get the
best performance on the oldest devices but it is moving along pretty quickly
now if you don't want to watch this part just skip to the next I'm doing them
where I'm going to do a geek bench update and that should be pretty good as
well in fact let's set this down we'll let this load in the background as it is
taking quite a while to load let's take a look at the geek bench course while we
wait for that so let's go into geek bench we'll go to bookmarks here or
benchmarks and you'll see I got four thousand eight hundred and seven and
eleven thousand twenty five for the multi-core score and that's pretty good
especially since I just installed this and then ran the test a lot of the times
there's background information going on and things being rearranged in the
operating system to sort of optimize everything and it takes a while now you
can see minecraft finished loading let me set this aside and then we'll look at
the geek bench again but you can see it looks pretty pretty fast things are
moving along but that did take quite a while to load so if you play a lot of
games on your 5s you may have a little bit longer wait it seems as as compared
to previous versions now if we go to the history you can see the history here
it's pretty good the single core now this one here I ran on the fifteenth
after the beta had been out for a while and everything was processed so when I
ran it just after the beta 4 came out it was way lower at four thousand eight
hundred and seventeen and ten thousand nine hundred and fifty-one as compared
to today's so it's doing pretty good and it should be nice and fast and that just
gives us a general idea of its improvements and that is pretty much it
for this particular update there's not a whole lot of features there's not a
whole lot new and you can expect maybe twelve point to tomorrow in beta form
it's hard to say but we won't see any real major features until June usually
with the worldwide developer conference when it's usually in the first couple
weeks of June where they show a new version of iOS where we expect a major
redesign so there's nothing really exciting going on yet maybe something
with 12.2 or maybe they'll do 12-point 1.4 it's really hard to say but if you'd
like to get your hands on this wallpaper I'll link it in the description below
