Hi, everyone.
Aaron here for Zollotech and today Apple released iOS 12.5 0.1 to the public.
That means it's available for all iOS 12 supported devices.
So that means the iPhone 5s that I have here, the iPhone six,
the iPhone six plus, and the iPad air,
the original iPad air,
the iPad mini two and mini three,
as well as the iPod touch sixth generation.
So it's available for all of those devices and includes a couple different
updates and security updates.
And so the first thing is this came in at 199.8 megabytes on my
iPhone six. And it varied depending on the device.
I've seen some as little as 25 megabytes.
It just depends on the version you were coming from. Now,
before we take a look at what's new, let's take a look at the build number.
We'll go to settings than general than about, and at the top here,
you can see it says software version, tap on this,
and it will give you the build number.
This is how you know you're on the correct version.
16 H two two is the current build number for iOS 12.5
0.1.
And so this particular update has one bug fix in it and some
security updates. So based on what it actually said,
when you go and install the update,
you'll see it says this update fixes an issue where exposure notifications could
incorrectly display logging profile language,
and that has been updated so that it's working properly.
And if you're using exposure notifications,
you don't have to have them turned on, but if you are using them or you're not,
you can find them under your settings, exposure notifications,
then you can turn them on. Like I said, it's up to you,
but you actually have to turn them on here and then install a compatible app.
So for example, if we turn them on, we'll hit continue,
and then we need to select our region. And so I'll just go down here.
It's not available in all regions, for example. So United States,
and then I'll just randomly pick a state, we'll pick New Hampshire. And it says,
exposure notifications are not currently available. If you pick New Jersey,
for example, it is available.
And then you can find a corresponding app in the app store.
And once you install it, you'll have to authorize it.
And it will work properly with, with this, if not,
you can turn on availability alerts, if you want that or turn them off.
And now all of your notifications will show properly.
So that's the major bug fix that's been updated in this particular update. Now,
like I said, there's also security updates as well.
And those security updates are not published,
but it doesn't mean they have an updated on Apple support website for security
updates. It says this update has no published entries,
but that doesn't mean they haven't updated it in the background,
whether that be security on websites or different things like that,
it's bringing your, your device up to date. And it's amazing.
The Apple continues to update older devices all the way back to the 5s and the
older iPad airs.
So even though we haven't had an update today for the iPhone 12 pro max,
for example, or the iPhone 12 series, I would expect one soon,
but we haven't seen that yet. Now performance wise,
I was using this a little bit and this is not my main,
but you can see as I go into music, for example, it seems like it's okay.
It's not super smooth, but it's as smooth as it was before it's loading here.
We'll give it a second.
And we'll hit not now for Apple music since I don't have it on this device,
but you can see the smoothness of it. If I go back out of this,
we'll go back into settings and it takes a second.
So it doesn't seem like it's any faster than the previous update,
but it doesn't seem like it's any slower, either. As far as battery life,
I wouldn't expect this to affect battery life unless you're using exposure
notifications, which we'll use Bluetooth,
which we'll use a little bit of battery.
It uses Bluetooth to determine what's nearby anonymously and get that
information. Now, I did run a geek bench for you on this,
just to give you an idea of what it should be.
And for single core scored 332 and multi-core was 620.
We take a look at the history. I'm not sure I have a whole lot here.
We do have well back in may of 2020,
you'll see the single core was three 32 and multi-core was six 23.
And so it's slightly lower, but I just installed it. And it's very close.
Multi-core, it's the same for single core, as you can see here.
So I would expect everything else to be the same.
They're just fixing a couple of bugs.
Maybe there's more fixed in the background as well.
Not a whole lot new in this particular update,
but quite a few of you have asked me to do these videos. Now,
as far as other updates, I've mentioned this before,
but because we're having an update for 12.5 0.1 today with older devices,
I would expect a public update for newer devices. As soon as tomorrow,
whether that be with iOS 14.3 0.1 or a
14.4 beta. So look out for those, of course,
I'll keep you updated if I know about those as well. Now,
if you found anything new in this particular update,
let me know in the comments below.
And if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
If you haven't subscribed already though, please subscribe.
And if you enjoyed the video and want me to continue making videos,
even though it's fairly simple for the older devices,
let me know in the comments below as always. Thanks for watching. This is Aaron.
I'll see you next time.
