hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.1 developer
beta 1 this is kind of strange and unexpected since iOS 13 isn't even out
yet but that may mean that it's very close to being released and Apple press
invites should go out for the next iPhone fairly soon
so we do have a few new features throughout this actually quite a few and
some fixes as well now one of the interesting things is this one only came
in at 451 megabytes so it's an addition to the iOS 13 update if you are not on
an iOS 13 beta it can be up to 4 gigabytes on your device it was about
451 megabytes and all of these devices but let's take a look at the build
number you can see the build number is 17 a5 8 to 1 II and it's very different
from the other build numbers so this is a completely new version a lot of people
thought it was a mistake and it was beta 9 but it's not it's something completely
different now there are new modem updates in this particular update so
they updated the modems hopefully the connectivity is a lot better and it
works better overall now in the notes the notes are very much like the iOS 13
betas there's 23 known issues and 9 issues are resolved and seeing how this
is a new beta there shouldn't be any resolved issues but there are some
things they resolved and one of those is Siri shortcuts has the automation tab
back so in automation you can go into automation add a new automation and use
an NFC tag and setup all sorts of new automations they've also added the
ability in shortcuts to have third-party shortcut actions that can also write to
files now so you can save your actions in files with text so maybe we'll be
able to develop and do some more things in the future on ipad or iOS now one of
the other things they've fixed and brought back is if you're in Maps and
you get directions and then you slide up you now have share ETA again so this
feature is back and that's a nice little addition that they've brought back now
other than that there's a lot of new additions and changes here and there and
one of them is in the wallpaper so if we go into settings and then we go to
wallpaper and then under choose a new wallpaper
we go to dynamic wallpaper we have a bunch of new ones so there's a bunch of
new dynamic wallpaper they have kind of a dark theme to them some of them and
others are straight out of iOS 7 so there's some that were here before and
there's some new ones as well so that's really nice we just have an addition to
wallpaper now I would imagine quite a few more later on under stills or live
so hopefully we'll see more of those by the time iOS 13 releases now also when
you're in wallpaper and maybe we want to set our own wallpaper so I'll go to my
photos here and if I want to set today's wallpaper which is linked in the
description as I always do what you'll see is if I set it to use as wallpaper I
can no longer move it around and size it properly I don't know if they're going
to bring this back I've tried a couple different things it doesn't really
matter you can't resize it so no matter what you do it doesn't seem to work
that's a small little change now also in home kit will go into home
kit here and if we go to edit under edit maybe we'll edit the light panels
they've now added the new icons like we have on Mac OS so you have a bunch of
new icons for switches and things like that and lights so you can add those as
well if you want to do that so that part's really nice and you'll see I have
a quick error there we'll just exit out of there it could not edit the accessory
so we'll get out of there but it seems to have a couple little bugs here and
there now a lot of you were looking forward to some new fonts and while they
have not updated the fonts in settings if you go to the actual setting for
fonts it now says no fonts installed and then says open app store if you open the
app store it brings you to lessons for guitars and things like that just what's
popular today so it looks like they're going to add this later on in the app
store but they haven't done it yet so it's more of a placeholder now now
another quick feature I found that I thought was really nice was actually
with airdrop so if I go into photos and then I go to airdrop this this wallpaper
here tap on airdrop you'll see that all the icons up here and compared to a
device that's not running iOS 13 point one it looks a lot nicer I've
actually got iOS 13 beta 8 on the left with my iPhone XR and then on the
right I have the XS Max and you can see there's now icons for airdrop so it just
looks a little bit better and a little bit nicer with the corresponding phone
or mat showing up with the airdrop devices now if you're playing music or
whatever you're listening to let me turn this on it's playing in my air pod when
you move the volume slider you can see here it has the air pods in it so if I
have ear pods it will show those if I don't have air pods and I have power
beats Pro it will actually show those so it's a nice little addition to the
volume slider just a little touch now another thing has to do with the watch
app so let me go into that in the watch app if I tap on App Store in the bottom
right it says the App Store is now on Apple watch so it's moving completely
the Apple watch you'll only have it on the watch and there was a watch update
but it's still watch OS 6 so that's it it's now on the watch so that's kind of
a nice little move and then also if you're using an app such as water minder
or something like that there are new Siri parameters that are working so this
was announced with iOS 13 and that basically lets you pick parameters using
series so if you want to log your water using Siri it will ask you how much
things like that so it's more contextual then also if you're using TestFlight
maybe you're testing some different apps and things like that once you install
that app you'll see here's Apollo this one's on testify it has a little yellow
dot that indicates that it's actually a test flight app and even if you open
that app and go back out that little yellow dot stays so it's a nice new
little indication that it's kind of a beta app now also on the iPad there's
not really anything new there however if we take a look at mouse support there's
a new little feature so let me move these over and if I use the mouse you'll
see I can move it around on the iPad but there's some new options here for the
secondary button so if we go into settings and then we go to accessibility
then we go to touch then we go to assistive touch then we go to devices
and then we - magic mouse - that I have paired for
button - you can see that I have it set for a long press so you can set it to a
3d touch or a long press depending on which device you're using it's just a
new little option that's there I also noticed an issue with iPad OS when I was
trying to create folders if I do that maybe drag it on top of another one
he'll see it the background kind of disappears so I noticed this is an issue
and the only way I could fix it is tap and hold move it to another screen or
sometimes wait for it to reset itself oftentimes this does not work so there's
definitely some issues there also split view does work fine if we open an app
let me do that again here maybe we'll open the app store you'll see split view
is working fine there so everything else seems to be ok but that one little thing
is a little bit different now iOS 13.1 does add some additional Kodak support
now this isn't something you can see but a TVC video encoding or h.265 video
encoding now has alpha channels for easier green screen style compositing
and I think that's - get ready for the new i/o iPhone 11 where they may have
some really next level iPhone cameras so hopefully we'll see something with that
we don't really know right now now before we take a look at performance and
Geekbench and things like that I wanted to mention a couple things that aren't
there if we go back into settings I don't see the announce with Siri option
I even with these paired if I go to Syrian search they announce with Siri
option is not here so I'm not sure why that is
hopefully they'll bring that back shortly also there's no redesigned call
interface when you get a call it's still the same interface I know a lot of you
asked me that and then also if you use Google Hangouts it doesn't work so if
you try and open hangouts you'll see it crashes every time so I'll open it up
and it just keeps crashing so if you use hangouts you probably don't want to
upgrade to 13.1 just yet now as far as older devices this is an iPhone 6s plus
the scrolling seems fine so far the little bit that I've used it 3d touch is
working but it feels much more like haptic touch
so scrolling is working fine I haven't opened the music app on this since
updating so let's see what we've got here
it's nice and smooth and I have no issues there now also on the iPhone se
which is also one of the older devices again everything feels nice and fast
this is the first time I've opened music so I'll give you an idea of how quick it
is I'm not seeing really any framerate drops or anything like that and overall
it feels pretty fast I would expect your games to work and everything since this
is a continuation of iOS 13 most likely these betas are a little bit more stable
however if you're afraid of bugs I wouldn't upgrade just yet now let's take
a look at battery life and this one has been running iOS 13 beta 8 and battery
life has been doing ok no we won't know how battery life is for a few days I
know a lot of you ask me but an indication of your battery life is not
how quickly it drops from 100 it's actually using it all day seeing how
much it drops over the next few days and then seeing how battery life is that's a
much more accurate indication so right now on an on a daily average with about
20 to 30 percent left I'm getting about four to four and a half hours of screen
on time normally I get about 6 and a half hours total usage on my iPhone so
that gives you an idea hopefully through thirteen point one is the same now let's
take a look at the Geekbench scores now one thing I did notice is the the
Geekbench scores actually went up on the iPhone XS Max so we have 4828 for
single core 11,500 and one from multi-core if we take a look at the
history you'll see here that it increased a little bit by a little over
a hundred or so on the multi-core and maybe thirty or so on the single core so
it's not incredible we're pushing these processors to the max anyway this is
what we can expect is normal but let me bring up all these devices to show you
what they should be getting in general now from left to right we have the iPad
air 2 then the iPhone se the iPhone 6s plus and then the iPhone XS Max so this
should give you a general way to compare what you have if you have a newer phone
than the 6s plus it should be a little bit better
or up to what the tennis max is doing so that's it for iOS 13 point 1 beta 1 we
really didn't expect this so we may see iOS 13 beta 9 soon or maybe we'll see it
finally released we don't know but we should expect a new Apple event within
the next two weeks so it should be somewhere around the 10th of September
where we would see iOS 13 release unless they release it early which is a little
different for them but that's it let me know if you found anything else in the
comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper as I always do in the
