hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.3.1
developer beta one this is a little bit unexpected as many of us
expected this to just release to the public with a few minor fixes and
instead they've pushed it out as a beta so this is available to developers and
soon to public beta testers if you're not seeing the public beta by now it'll
be out later today or the following day now this came in at three point nine
five gigabytes on my iPhone 11 pro max depending on the device that we have
here such as my iPhone XR it came in closer to three gigabytes anytime you go
from a public version to a beta or from a beta back to a public version it's a
very large size and then the normal updates are just smaller now let's take
a look at the build number the build number is 17 d50 to 6c and this
particular build does not have a whole lot in it that you can see physically in
fact apples notes have nothing in them whatsoever and unfortunately their notes
just keep getting worse and worse they used to have a lot of things such as
known issues and bug fixes and all sorts of things and they've just not updated
it lately so hopefully we'll see an update if you have the beta and you want
to look at the notes you can see it under the feedback app but unfortunately
there's just nothing there however there are a couple things to note the first
thing is there is a modem update and on my eleven pro max it seems to help
significantly in fact I installed the update went outside and immediately once
I went off Wi-Fi I connected to cellular no problem whatsoever I've never had it
connect that fast since probably iOS 13 point three or maybe iOS twelve on a
different phone so it's definitely seeming to be fixed as far as that goes
and I noticed apps grabbing on to data much quicker so things like YouTube or
YouTube studio when I go into YouTube it just seemed to load much quicker as far
as pulling the data that I needed so that's a really great thing now another
thing I noticed is storage size I actually checked my storage before I
installed the update and then after so let me show you that here's a screenshot
before I installed the update the forty seven point six gigabytes used of 256
and then the next screen shows the system and other update so
you'll see we're about nine and a half gigabytes or a nine point four four and
nine point four five gigabytes if we take a look at the current storage it's
actually pretty good so let's go to iphone storage forty two
point three gigabytes I wouldn't expect that to really change because that's
actual storage on the phone but if we go down to the bottom it's a little bit
better with other one point zero five gigabytes and six point seven two
gigabytes for systems so a little bit more for system but other is almost
non-existent so it's something that I was really pleased to see now another
thing to know is that supposedly this is going to fix location services when it
comes to iPhone 1111 Pro and 11 pro max with wideband technology and wide bed
allows me to actually locate the device by pointing it at something when you go
to airdrop or something like that so if you have a file you want to airdrop you
can just point it at a Mac or a different iPhone and that will allow it
to select it well a lot of the time this notification arrow shows you that you're
actually using location services and there was no way to turn it off because
Apple wasn't allowing you to turn off the wideband technology in the newer
phones now I don't know if they fixed it a hundred percent but I did test it and
if you go into your settings and go to privacy then go to location services and
turn it off altogether the actual arrow will disappear now it does do that on
some of the previous versions but for a lot of people that wouldn't go away on
the newer devices so try it out for yourself and let me know in the comments
below if you think they fixed it although they have said nothing about it
in the notes and then another thing they haven't mentioned that it will take a
little bit to know for sure if it's fixed is screen time there were ways to
bypass this and ways around it and they may have patched it in this update and
we'll have to really wait until some people test it to make sure but it seems
like they probably are just pushing bug fixes and performance fixes with this
particular update now speaking of performance I did run a geek bench we'll
talk about that in a little bit and performance on this has been really good
in fact I was trying it on some of the older devices the iPhone se for example
I was just messing around with Minecraft and it seems to be okay I would
say it's phenomenal as far as what it was before but it resumes nice and quick
frame rates seem to be pretty good and if you go out of this and then go into
settings for example it just seems to be nice and smooth overall and the same is
true on the iPhone XR that I have here so some of you are asking to see
this device in more videos so again the same thing holds true nice and fast when
you swipe between apps or open a new app such as music it's just nice and fast
now I think they improve performance and the Geekbench numbers definitely show
that but also with the iPad the iPad gets nothing new as far as what we can
see so the exact same things are going to hold true across iOS and iPad OS but
there's just nothing we can physically see so unfortunately unless there's
really my new pixel level changes we're not seeing anything there now as far as
battery life is concerned when I did a poll and then a follow up video on iOS
13.3 about 50% of the people said they had good battery life and 50% said it
was terrible so Apple obviously needs to do some work
as far as managing that and my battery has been ok you'll see today it's three
hours and five minutes of screen on time two hours and 32 minutes of screen off
time that was with iOS thirteen point three but to know how iOS 13 point three
point one will be will take a few days it takes a few days to know what that's
going to be like overall but right now I have 70% of my battery life left and
I've got over three hours of usage with a lot of screen off time as well so it's
actually pretty good so if you actually multiply that out
throughout the day we're still getting around me 10 to 12 hours of screen on
time mark so it's pretty good there again I'll be doing the follow-up and
we'll see how it is after a few days now as far as Geekbench scores are concerned
let's talk about those for a moment now I'm using Geekbench 5 so the numbers are
a little bit lower than you're used to seeing if you're coming from Geekbench 4
they kind of reset everything if you're not familiar with that but on the iPhone
11 Promax I scored 1325 for single-core 3452 for multi-core when it comes to the
history the scores are actually a little bit higher than we had before when it
comes to multi-core but they're a little bit lower for single cores so
no significant changes there I wouldn't really expect any major performance
differences on the new ones but let's take a look at all of these devices so
you can see what yours is like if you have a device that's got a similar CPU
in it on the Left I have the iPad air 2 then I have the iPhone se then the
iPhone XR and then the iPhone 11 pro max so this will just give you a general
idea of what your scores could be overall if they're anywhere near this
that's a good sign now when it comes to Apple's release
schedule it's going to be a little bit different for a while because next week
is Christmas and because of the holidays I wouldn't expect Apple to push out a
release until maybe the sixth or so it's possible they could sneak one in next
week but I highly doubt it most people at Apple will be on vacation so beta1
will carry us probably until the new year and then maybe next year we'll see
iOS 13.4 with some little bits of changes or feature ads and things like
that and then in June we'll see iOS 14 so um unless Apple changes this up this
year I'm expecting to see that in that order so hopefully we'll see some new
features with 13.4 I wouldn't hold my breath for any of those but we'll
probably see some changes as far as all of that goes now iOS 13.3 has been much
better for me personally than previous versions of iOS 13 that's not always the
case for some of you but I do community polls to see how things are for you and
I actually have one running right now so if you go to my channel and then you tap
on community at the top there's a community poll asking about how iOS 13
is after 90 days so if you haven't participated in this yet go ahead and
check it out I'll be doing a video on some of these things a little bit later
but I often do polls just to see how these are going for you and it goes into
a little bit more detail and I read your comments as well so if you're interested
in that please go ahead and check it out and then other than that there's not
much else to talk about I expect a new beta in a few weeks 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
