hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.3.1
developer beta 2 now this may be out for developers but it
may not be out to public beta testers at the time you're watching this so if you
don't see it already expect it later today or sometime tomorrow it's been 28
days since this update and this update came in at a fairly small 256 point 5
megabytes on my iPhone 11 pro max it was similarly sized on other devices but if
you installed it for the first time expect it to be larger like 3 gigabytes
or maybe a little bit bigger than that so just expect those sizes depending on
which device you're installing it on and if you're installing it for the first
time let's take a look at the build number the build number is 17 d50 4 for
a and with that a at the end we're somewhere around 18 builds newer than
the previous one from 28 days ago so this one should have a lot of bug fixes
in it and things like that and the first thing that's fixed is or at least
updated is there's a modem update so if you were still having issues with
switching from Wi-Fi to cellular or anything like that
hopefully it's fixed let's try it if we jump off of Wi-Fi and then go to a web
page it says could not activate cellular data network so this still may be an
issue I'm not sure but usually to fix this you'll see it's not working usually
to fix this turn on airplane airplane mode to turn off Wi-Fi and then it will
reactivate and work so I'm not sure if they fix this a hundred percent but when
I was at CES last week this was a major problem for me so sometimes it worked
well sometimes it didn't so this may or may not be fixed and I'd love to hear if
it is for you in the comments below now as far as the storage that's concerned I
actually took a screenshot of storage prior to installing this and you'll see
this one was using a forty two point eight gigabytes before installing the
update and as far as system we were using six point seven two gigabytes and
one point three eight gigabytes in other and those can change but let's see what
they're using now just for a comparison so if we go to iphone storage right now
we're using a little bit more at forty three point two gigabytes as far as the
overall iPhone store let's see what system and other are
using so we'll scroll down here and system is using 6.71 gigabytes so not a
huge change there and then 1.3 6 gigabytes for other so this can vary as
time goes on sometimes it can be more or less but let me know how it is for you
as well now as far as features and things like
that well unfortunately there's nothing in the notes but being that this is
about 18 builds newer there should be a lot of bug fixes in it unfortunately
that cellular issue is still happening I'll do a hard reboot and see if that
fixes it but right now that was the first time I tested that particular
issue now one thing that is fixed for sure is the speaker echo if you were
placing a phone call before on the first beta and you had a lot of echo with the
speaker that's now fixed the same for a FaceTime call so I did place a test call
to make sure that was fixed the other person didn't hear an echo or anything
like that so thankfully that's fixed also mail seems to be much better for me
I don't know if you'll notice this right away but I actually noticed it pretty
quickly mail seems to be refreshing and updating much faster than it was with
beta one so hopefully they'd fixed that across all of these devices and right
now it seems to be much better as far as other features or changes or fixes we
don't really know because Apple hasn't notated them so unfortunately we don't
have a list of all the little bugs that have fixed been fixed we'll know that
when the final release hits now based off that build number with an A at the
end as far as the final release is concerned I would expect it in a week or
so based off of what we've seen in the past however during the holiday Apple
slowed down the update cycle so much that it's hard to say if they're
actually going to follow the same sort of release pattern this year now I would
expect an iOS 13 point for betas to roll out maybe this month or next it's hard
to say exactly at this point but I would expect a final release of thirteen point
three point one sometime before the end of the month that's just my guess at
this point based off what we've seen in the past now the other reason for that
is people in different countries that use the carrier o - and maybe you have
an iPhone XR are losing signal regularly and this is a known issue that
hasn't been addressed yet so maybe it's fixed in this particular beta
it will take a few days to know that for sure so just be sure to check back for
the follow-up and we'll see what we have there now as far as overall battery
performance battery for me on beta 1 was actually quite good the battery health
on this phone is 100% and just keep in mind that beta updates and updates do
not degrade battery health they're simply just checking for the battery
health again so they're just checking to see what your current battery health is
at and you'll see different rates on things such as this iPhone 6 plus or 6s
plus rather if we go down to battery you'll see battery health on this one is
that 85% so this is just an older phone I expect it to go down over time and
that's just what happens with lithium-ion batteries so it may or may
not go down for you but just keep in mind it's not the beta causing it it's
just it rechecking it now over the last 10 days you can see here's my usage
these days were in CES this is current usage I've only been using it about 2
hours and 42 minutes of screen on time 1 hour and 57 minutes of screen off time
but in that 2 hours and 42 minutes I only used about 25% of the battery which
means if you times this times 4 I will round it up to 3 hours that would give
us 12 hours of screen on time so probably 10 or 11 hours of screen on
time depending on what you're doing my normal usage is just apps such as
Twitter and things like that so it really depends on how you use your phone
and what you're going to get with that hopefully beta 2 is just as good or
better and in general it's been pretty good I know iOS 13.3 isn't so great when
it comes to battery life so this version should be much better now as far as RAM
management is concerned opening apps such as YouTube you can see here I open
this up it took a second to load that's because I closed everything out to run a
Geekbench which we'll take a look at in a second but as far as all of these go
let's open a couple different apps such as such as music that was nice and fast
we'll take a look at the App Store then maybe we'll go back to the calendar and
maybe we'll open the camera and let's see if we can go back to YouTube it
didn't reload and so it only time will tell with specific apps if they're going
to have good management but so far after opening all
of those that's actually pretty good so into safari music we can go back and
forth and it seems to be okay after it loads and everything's still not
reloading when it comes to YouTube and YouTube also had an app update today so
be sure to install that as that may help that as well
now performance overall I did play around with it a little bit on the
iPhone se and the iPhone 6s plus that I have here I messed around with Minecraft
a little bit just to see if it would load quickly it's sort of a benchmark I
use as far as games go and you'll see it resumed there and it's nice and fast the
frame rates are good and it did load as as fast as expected on one of these
devices so you'll see it's moving nice and fast it's really hard for me to play
this on this tiny little device but again if I go to the 6s plus you should
expect decent performance with this beta we're at night here so it's a little
hard to see but I had decent performance there and things such as music opening
him up that was the first time I opened it after closing the app when I ran
Geekbench I closed everything and then again if I go to something like Safari
we'll wait for this to load and it loads nice and fast for the most part this is
there we go so it had a little bug with the page there
so there's developers and then maybe Apple podcasts in general things are
quite snappy frame rates in general seem to be pretty good on older devices as
well so I can zip through menus no problem and finally on iPad OS don't
expect any major changes there's nothing that's going to be really that different
with iPad OS this time around I'm seeing okay performance I'm not having any
issues with scrolling or anything like that for something this old
and in general it's pretty good so just keep that in mind with iPad OS
unfortunately we haven't seen any major changes with that such as iCloud sharing
that's working properly and things that were supposed to be in earlier updates
but everything should be coming later on now as far as the geek benches are
concerned I ran them on Geekbench 5 so if you're seeing higher numbers than
this keep in mind that geek pinch 5 uses
lower numbers that kind of reset that so if we go into geek bench 5
I actually got pretty decent scores 1339 for single core and 3404 for multi-core
on the 11pro max so that's pretty good if we take a look at the history so
let's see if we can find the previous one that I ran when it came out on
December 17th we're a little bit higher for single core and a little bit lower
for multi-core but we're so close that the actual differences shouldn't make
any difference whatsoever now let me set up these other devices so you can see
how they are compared to what you have as well on the far left we have the iPad
air 2 next we have the iPhone se then we have the iPhone 6s plus and then the
iPhone 11 Pro Max on the far right so this should give you a general idea how
your devices compare if you have some of the older supported devices for iOS 13
or some of the newer ones that's it for iOS 13 point three point one developer
beta 2 now it will take a few days to know how things like battery and
performance are over that time as far as things with cellular and Wi-Fi of course
and I'll do a follow-up for that with that as well and post a youtube
community poll in a few days after we've all used this so be sure to check back
for that I usually run those on Sunday after we've had a few days to use them
now as far as other updates apple also released beta updates for Mac OS and
also Apple TV and I believe watch OS as well but I never cover watch OS unless
there's major changes because if there's a problem with it then you actually have
to bring it to Apple so normally I don't cover those unless there's big changes
but other than that that's really it with this beta mostly bug fixes and I
would expect the final to be soon with iOS 13 point for coming later on if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the
description as I always do if you haven't subscribed already please
