hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 13.4 has been out for a few days and
I've been using it on my iPhone 11 pro max I also have it on the iPhone XR
here and also the 2020 iPad pro 12.9 and so I want to share with you
my experience and then you're experience based off the YouTube community poll
where I've compiled all of the information based on over 10,000 votes
and 200 plus comments and put that information together to tell you what
the real-world performance in battery life and things like that are on iOS
13.4 so the first thing is I wanted to go over an issue that Apple has already
acknowledged and that has to do with VPN or virtual private network if you're
using a VPN and you can find that in settings or maybe you have a separate
VPN app turn on VPN and you'll see it connect up here in a moment there we go
VPN connected and for some people VPN is not encrypting data and that's what VPN
is it's basically creating a tunnel to whatever network you're talking to so it
creates a secure encrypted tunnel and for some reason it's not encrypting all
of that data now what specific apps or whether or not it's right through the
VPN itself the settings in settings for VPN is hard to say but Apple has
acknowledged this is an issue and they need to fix it in the future
so what that means is we're going to see an iOS 13 point four point one or maybe
an iOS 13 point 5 beta one fairly soon but I'll talk more about that towards
the end of the video now the first thing is as far as the experience for me is
I've had a few settings lock ups so if you go into settings today and yesterday
I noticed this and I noticed it on my iPhone 11 pro max you just go in and it
would lock up this is something we saw in early iOS 13 builds with the betas
and then it sort of fixed itself by the time it was out and some people had it
some people didn't and it's been an issue on and off and why it still
persists I'm not really sure but we also see it on the iPad I had the same exact
thing happen on the brand new 20/20 iPad Pro and for some reason settings with
just hard freeze and so I had to close the app and then go back and do it and
then it worked fine so I don't know what that is but Apple definitely needs to
address it now the next thing is the issue I've probably seen the mo
and that is Bluetooth crashing if you try to enter the settings via 3d touch
or haptic press so if you go to settings and haptic press on settings and then go
to bluetooth you'll see if you have bluetooth on or off it doesn't really
matter and it's already open you already have settings open it will work just
fine so again go to settings 3d press or haptic press go to bluetooth and it's
fine it opens no problem if I go home and I close that application settings
for example 3d press on Bluetooth go to bluetooth it will crash every time so
the way to fix it is obviously not close settings and honestly shouldn't be
closing applications in the background anyway unless they use location like
maps so you'll see I don't really ever close apps ever unless it's Maps or
Google Maps something like that that's actually going to use and run in
the background otherwise there's no need to close it Apple even says there's no
need to close it and when I show you all my battery life and things like that
I never close apps almost never it's very rare unless I run a Geekbench
I'll close them all just to be consistent across devices otherwise I
never closed them so lots of people are seeing that issue with 3d pressing
settings now the next thing is I still have issues in mail and why mail still
has issues I'm not sure sometimes I'll show that I have to email I'll go in and
they don't show up for a while I'll have to manually refresh it and then other
times if I use the little button to show me unread in email it just doesn't work
right so continually I'm having issues with emails so let me go into mail and
in mail I use this button here for unread a lot if I tap on it all my email
should disappear unless I've not read them yet sometimes that button just
doesn't work so I continually have issues with email for some reason and a
lot of you do as well and I've heard that in the comments also from the poll
now the good thing is performance is really good across all devices that
includes the iPhone 6s plus all the way to the iPhone 11 Pro Macs and
performance just going into different applications whether or not you're
playing video games or you're just going into music and scrolling most people say
other than the freeze up in settings that it's really performing very well
even on older devices and the XR is not old but people are saying the same thing
so if I go to music just loaded and things are nice and
smooth and that's what you really want from iOS 13 and most people say iOS 13
point four is the best release yeah and I would agree with that it's definitely
the best version of iOS 13 in my experience now battery life for me has
been good and the people that typically say that it's not as good
generally updated and then the same day they say it's not good but you need to
give it a few days because there's a lot of background activity that goes on
there's a lot of backing up and updating and things like that so if you've given
it a few days and you still have poor battery life I would check your apps and
see what they are what they're doing but if we go to settings and go to battery
I'll go to battery health and I have a hundred percent and I continually use
this phone this is my main phone all the time
and I charge this throughout the night and I charge it while I'm driving all
wirelessly so that seems to work best for me I have a separate video on that
but the updates do not affect the battery capacity it only remeasure 'z
the capacity so if you saw it go down it's only because your physical battery
degraded a little bit which is normal for lithium ion batteries now you'll see
my screen time yesterday was not that great but it depends on the day so today
I have two hours and 40 minutes of screen on time two hours and 11 minutes
of screen off time and I used a lot of YouTube and it just depends whether or
not you're on Wi-Fi or not and then you can see other days I had four hours and
39 minutes 6 hours and 40 minutes of screen off time depending on the day
it's going to vary so usually most people have been responding that they're
getting 10 to 12 12 hours of screen on time and in fact this time around I took
every one of you that mentioned battery and I compiled it to see how many people
said they had good battery life and how many people said they had bad out of 200
comments and out of those 200 comments people that mentioned battery saying it
was good it was 48 people now that covers all devices so iPhone 6s 7 7 plus
iphone 11 iPhone XR, iPhone X all of them are covered there and 48 people
said it was good only 20 said it was bad so less than half are saying it's bad
now the problem is there's no way to quantify whether or not the people
saying it's bad have actually used it for a few days if
they're just updating they're going to say it's bad so hopefully it's better
most people say it's better and most people say it's phenomenally better not
just a little bit but hugely better now you can read all of those comments
yourself and we'll look at that in just a moment
but the other thing people are saying is mail issues and then finally washed all
washed out wallpaper now I have not seen the washed out wallpaper bug myself so
if I go into wallpaper then go to choose a new wallpaper maybe go to stills I
have not seen any of these wallpapers wash out when I'm using them I just
haven't seen that on any device so just keep that in mind it seems to be good on
all of these so again what I'm talking about how battery is and things I'm
covering all devices not just one so let's take a look at the YouTube
community pool now before I go over the YouTube community poll here all the
issues mentioned if they could be good or bad in either direction RAM
management people are saying it's good battery I already talked about that so
for example there's all the numbers and then here's all the devices you're using
based off the comments so if you told me what device you're using the numbers
should be accurate here now as far as the YouTube community poll at this time
over 11,000 people have voted in just one day so I really appreciate that and
53 percent of you have said that it's great that's a pretty high number for a
public release only three percent say it's terrible and then 14 percent say ok
but some bugs so again based off these numbers that's a pretty good pretty good
number or subset that shows you you probably should update and then 17%
didn't update whether they're waiting for this video or maybe you want to stay
on an older version that's possible but if you are concerned about battery it's
much more important to upgrade because of security than anything else there are
a lot of bug fixes and things that will fix issues you've had before in fact LTE
and Wi-Fi and RAM management those things most people say are mostly or
100% fixed in this update so just keep that in mind and then 13 percent of you
say I use the Android that's down from 15 percent so whether or not people
switched from iOS or from Android to iOS it's hard to say but usually that's 15
percent but either way I appreciate you voting now let's take a look at some of
the comments the first one says the only problem
that won't it won't let me move songs around once I've started listening I
can't switch song place in the queue everything seems to be working nice and
smooth on my iPhone 11 no issues to report on my success plus data
connection is better than 13 point three point one battery life is fine and
Bluetooth issue in 3d touch in the settings app iPhone X great frankly all
the iOS 13 updates except the first two while back were good and I didn't really
notice any bugs maybe a bit worse battery life but that's because I live
in Egypt where it's hotter than what batteries can stand so all of them were
good including 13.4 XS max super smooth only bug I've noticed is the
Bluetooth 3d touch crash I got 7 gigs back from beta 5 2 g-m I'm on iphone 7
plus and on public beta 13.4 and it's pretty good I think you mean the final
since there wasn't a final update per se if you're on the GM but either way no
hiccups no lagging speed is good I did not notice any issues on my iPhone XR
and my iPad 6 gen no problems and great battery life great on my iPhone 7
when it comes to battery life I'm getting basically the same as thirteen
point three point one on thirteen point four same with performance battery life
is better and data connection is a lot better iOS 13 point four is good iPhone
XR hi Aaron my screen on time was approximately seven hours yesterday and
experienced a little bit heating issue on my iPhone XS max have you also
experienced this issue on your iPhone not usually if the phone is doing a lot
of intensive processes you will get it to warm up a little bit that's normal
for the processor to get warm but if it's continually doing it I recommend
rebooting the phone to see if that fixes it usually it will my iPhone 7 plus is
working fine fast and smooth with iOS 13.4 I have not encountered any issues
whatsoever and the battery life is ok as well iPhone 8 works great battery life
as you would expect to always look forward to your videos thank you
iPhone 11 pro max user here only one bug over the past few days I was on my way
home aux cord plugged into my phone and playing music in my car when the phone
shut off and went black for about 5 minutes it restarted and hasn't had any
other issues other than that everything is running great terrific battery life
and great cellular action the battery is just amazing on my
iPhone XS max but it still has some glitches running iOS 13.4 on my iPhone 8
plus and so far I have absolutely no problems it's running perfectly smooth
the mail app is working with no problems which is a big relief because I use it a
lot for work but the battery life is about the same maybe it's because my
battery health is at 86% so I don't see that getting any better but overall I'm
very happy with it it's running fine on my 11 pro max no issues so far except
from the haptic touch menu settings crash sometimes battery life and
performance are great LTE just like normal iPhone 11 great battery great
performance this is a noticeable upgrade all around in my humble opinion I'm a
beta user so on the GM version so so far no problems at all on my iPhone 11 Pro
max it's all good cleared up some bugs I had with thirteen point three point one
I'm pretty sure battery life is okay as well and then finally so far no problems
at all iPhone 11 pro max so like I said before in all the statistics I gathered
and everything most people say it's a better battery life and again give it a
few days if you just upgraded for it to improve but the majority of people are
saying that it has better battery life there's also better RAM management much
better LTE and Wi-Fi compared to thirteen point three point one or the
previous updates so they fixed all those issues so I highly recommend installing
thirteen point four if you haven't already unless you have an alternate
reason where some software won't work with it or something like that but the
security the bug fixes the battery life performance and everything that goes
along with it is definitely worth the upgrade in my opinion so that's it for
iOS 13 point for now like I said there's issues with that VPN so I would expect
an iOS 13 point for point one if that's all they're going to fix or if they have
other bug fixes and new features to implement than a thirteen point five
beta one this coming week may be possible as well it's hard to say what
Apple's timeline is going to be based on current things going on but hopefully
they'll continue with the software updates and fix all those additional
bugs like the 3d press 2 Bluetooth settings issue so hopefully we see a fix
for that real soon and if we do of course I'll keep you updated on all the
different social media platforms including this one but if you'd like to
get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the
description as I always do and if you haven't subscribed already please
subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks
for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time
