hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.3.1
developer beta three this came in at around 136.1MB
on my eleven Pro Max and similarly sized on the iPhone ten
are the iPhone 6s plus and the iPad pro from 2018 and this was also going to be
available to public beta testers if you're not seeing it by the time of this
video expected a little bit later or the following day but usually by the time I
make a beta video it's already out so it may be out for you at this time now the
other thing is this particular update is a very small update its point one and we
expected there to be a final already so let's take a look at the build number
and we'll talk about what's new in this particular update the build number is
seventeen d five zero five zero a and with this particular update with the
last letter being an a we're very close to release we're only six versions newer
than the previous beta and apple usually has a bunch of internal updates so
sometimes they're 15 versions new and then they push it to the public so we
don't see every single update they do they push a certain amount of them when
they feel they're finished enough for testing so this one's about six versions
newer than the previous one and it's surprising that Apple did not push out a
final version so we may see that soon I'll talk about that later in the video
now as far as anything new is concerned well the notes only mention one thing
and that's for developers and an issue they may have with coding other than
that there's nothing new mentioned in the notes and Apple has not been really
good about updating notes for the iPhone the iPad the watch or any of those other
things as well now along with this update Apple also pushed beta updates
for iPad OS along with iOS which is basically the same thing and then they
also pushed beta updates for the Apple watch along with Mac OS as well so
expect all of those updates with Apple TV and things like that and those are
very small updates but once Mac OS comes out expect a video on the final version
of that and watch OS if there's anything new now other than that as far as new
things in this update nothing really new that you can see as far as features
if you didn't see my beta to follow up video there were two new things that
were mentioned the first one has to do with Apple TV and that app so let me go
into that and if I go into the Apple TV app and you go to a show that you've
already watched you will now say play it again that was there with beta 2 but if
you didn't see the follow up you wouldn't be aware of that now other than
the played again button that's not really anything very exciting they did
add a toggle for network location services so if I go to settings and then
I go to privacy then I go to location services go all the way down to system
services you'll see there's networking and wireless and this was there in the
code in the previous beta but I didn't mention it because the physical button
wasn't there so I had a friend that actually found in the code and then it
popped up for Brandon butch a friend of mine and it just showed up all of a
sudden so it wasn't there initially and now it is and you'll see if you try and
turn it off it says turning off location for networking and Wireless may affect
Bluetooth Wi-Fi and ultra wideband performance so this is that toggle for
ultra wideband and some other things that are related
to networking specifically now as far as other updates there is a modem update a
modem firmware update and if you're wondering where you can see that
yourself the modem firmware is at least on the iPhone 11 the 11pro and the
iPhone 11 Pro max so if you're wondering where to see that you can go to settings
then you can go down to general then you go to about and if you scroll down a
little bit where it says Wi-Fi address and Bluetooth you'll see modem firmware
and this one is one point zero four point zero six and that particular modem
update is point zero one newer than the last and so this is significant to me
but I noticed immediate speed improvements when it came to LTE so if I
go to Google will go back to the Apple website maybe it will take a look at
iPad you'll see how fast it's loading we'll go to this one nice and fast and I
only have two bars so even with lesser signal things to seem to be nice and
fast I did initially have an issue when switching from Wi-Fi to LTE but after
the first time I've had no issues whatsoever so it must just be this phone
ahead to kind of set those settings and now it's working
better than it's ever worked so hopefully it stays working like that and
I've been really impressed with it so far as far as overall performance on all
of these devices well as far as the iPhone 6s plus which is the oldest phone
it's been really quite good the performance has been great and the funny
thing is is the geek bench isn't as great as the previous time and I'll show
you that in a moment but performance and smoothness seems to have been refined in
this update so if I go to settings it's nice and fast open to weather go back to
settings go back home go back to music everything is loading super fast so
that's a really nice thing to see now in a moment I'll talk about RAM management
but let's first talk about battery life so if we go into settings I'll go back
to battery you'll see battery health for me as 100% now this is my main use phone
and I've talked more about that at length but battery health is not
affected by the update it's just rechecking the battery health so it
won't go down from the update it's just rechecking what the actual physical
battery capacity is now as far as my last 10 days we'll go to the current day
you'll see screen on time is 3 hours and 12 minutes 33 minutes of screen off time
and I've used about 30 to 40% of my battery and it's actually doing pretty
well it's not outstanding depending on the day it varies but normally I would
say anywhere from 10 to 12 hours of screen on time on the largest phone
depending on what you're doing now if you're not using it very much you're
just listening to music those times are going to go up quite a bit but battery
life is much better on thirteen point three point one betas than it is
thirteen point three and about ninety-five percent of people in the
follow-ups and everything else say the exact same thing now as far as the
iPhone XR well the XR has had issues overseas as far as carriers with
it dropping off carrier signals so I'm not sure if this is updated and fixed or
not but if you have an iPhone XR expect it to hopefully be fixed in these
updates where it was dropping signal on carriers such as orange or o2 I'm not
sure which ones but if you're on those carriers I would love to hear from you
it's specific to the XR and performance on the XR is great
everything seems to be good across all iOS devices including iPhone 7 so we'll
see in future follow-up videos but right now it's pretty good now as far as iPad
OS nothing is new don't expect any changes it's the exact same changes that
you get with the iPhone and actually I put iOS 13 point 3 point 1 beta 3 on
this because I was really sick of small weird issues I was having with things
like YouTube so every time I'd go to youtube I'd load something it was super
slow but so far it's smooth and not very choppy but don't expect anything new as
far as iPad OS with these particular updates now as far as RAM management I
did a test this time where I opened 20 different applications then I left the
phone sit for about 2 minutes to 3 minutes and then picked it up and then
tried to open YouTube and see if it reloaded and it didn't it was actually
quite good I found that I could open all the way up to about 30 applications so
going back into music going to weather going to the App Store and you'll see
the App Store just reloaded a little bit so up to about 30 times then it will
reload even if you let it sit so I'm finding that around 20 times is no issue
so you definitely can multitask better with this beta at least compared to what
others we're saying with beta 2 so hopefully that's improved for you and if
it isn't let me know in the comments below now as far as benchmarks are
concerned the benchmarks are a little bit funny this time I ran it twice on
the 11 Pro Max and I've run it on all these devices so you could see that as
well but I scored 1332 and the other time I scored 1333 now for multi-core
this time around I scored at 3333 on the previous time I ran through this I
actually scored a little bit higher with 3374 so the performance feels much
faster but the scores are actually a little bit lower compared to the
previous time so if you look at January 8th or 14th right here you'll see it's a
little bit different so just depends it's close enough that you shouldn't
really notice any difference in fact I would say you're probably going to
notice that it's faster now let's take a look at the Geekbench on all of these
devices no on the far left I have the iPad pro from 2018 then I have the
iPhone 6s plus which has numbers that are a little bit lower but usually after
you use this it does things in the background these numbers bump up a
little bit then I have the iPhone XR and then the iPhone 11 Pro max so this
should give you an idea of what your devices will get from the oldest
supported devices to the in-between and the newest now with this particular
update I thought we'd already have a final version out but it looks like we
may have a final version next week or the following week so expect I wouldn't
really expect beta 4 I would expect more along the lines of a final release and
then before February or maybe the first week of February
we'll see iOS 13.4 with hopefully some new features tweaks and changes and then
I'm looking most forward to iOS 14 in June so expect those things I also did a
video about iPhone se too as well as or iPhone 9 depending on what you want to
call it in the new iPad that we should see this year later on so I'm excited
for all of those things let me know what you're most excited about this year and
of course if you've installed this beta let me know how it is for you in the
comments below be sure to check back for the follow-up I run later in the week
and if you want to see more of these videos I have playlists and things like
that specific to all of these iOS updates and I'll link all of that in the
description below if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper I'll link
it in the description as I always do if you haven't subscribed already please
subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks
