hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 13 developer beta 6 is now out to
developers and soon to public beta testers if you're not seeing it today
expect it tomorrow or it may be out by the time you're seeing this now this
particular update came in at five hundred and seventy eight point five
megabytes on my iPhone XS Max it was about 500 megabytes on all of these
devices except the iPad where it was only a couple hundred megabytes let's
take a look at the build number the build number is 17 a 5 5 5 6 D and that
D means we're getting a little bit closer to the final version that's
coming in September and I would expect a few more versions of this prior to its
release but with beta 6 comes quite a few little changes and one thing I
noticed right away is LTE connectivity now they have shrunk the size of these
icons back down but LTE connectivity on beta 5 for me was absolutely terrible in
fact I almost switched back to a device running iOS 12 because I might be going
using a different app I'll jump off Wi-Fi and then I'll just lose
connectivity all together now with beta 6 they've actually updated the modem so
there's a new modem version so hopefully that fixes connectivity with this
version if you were having those issues now as far as issues there's 41 known
issues still remaining so there's still quite a few issues and there's only four
that they actually resolved that are noted in the notes as far as the known
issues though chromecast may not work again and also with shortcuts would
these shortcuts app here the animation tab or automation tab rather is no
longer there still now that is coming back but it's still not in this
particular update now there's a few different changes throughout this update
and I'll cover those on the different devices as well but they all pertain to
the same it's all the same across all devices and the first one has to do with
dark mode there's now a new dark mode control center icon so if you tap on
this it will switch in fact it's actually a little bit easier to see it
in settings so if we go into settings you'll see you can switch between dark
mode you can also use Siri to do this but that was in beta 5 as well now one
change they've made has to do with the folders and if we take a look here
you'll see the folder is more trans parent when they're shrunk they actually
match the backgrounds you can see that on this page a little bit better so the
backgrounds are matching when you open them up they go back to sort of a
translucent but they're more transparent when they're shrunk down so that's a new
little change now for those of you that use 3d touch 3d touch seems to be fully
functional but they haven't changed the animation back but it does seem a little
bit faster when you're using it so if you're going into things like brightness
and again you have that dark mode switch here but you can add it here with the
control center settings but it's just a little bit quicker when it comes to 3d
touch now when you open photos for the first time you get a new splash screen
so it just talks a little bit more about the new features as far as your photos
being brought to life all of your photos at any scale and powerful photo and
video editing you also get a similar pop-up the first time you open the app
store and it talks about Apple arcade and app updates so there's a few new
changes in the app store and it just lets you know about those now as far as
the volume is concerned they added a bunch of steps to volume when you're
moving the volume switch up and down there used to be a lot more they move
that back to about 16 different increments now so if you move that up
and down it's changed back nothing huge but it is a little bit of a change and
then there's more of a bug in here that's not really a feature but it's the
last thing that's major anyway if we go into settings and we go to our
wallpapers so we'll go to wallpaper here and under wallpaper I choose new
wallpaper and if we go to our dynamic wallpaper they're all missing however if
you set them they show back up so you can set the wallpaper the dynamic
wallpaper but they're just kind of missing from here for some reason and
it's obviously a bug or something they looked over but that'll be changed in
the final version maybe this just means they've got some new ones coming we
don't really know at this point and as far as all the changes and updates
that's really it there's no differences between iPad that I can find or anything
like that and performance is quite good let's take a look at one of the oldest
devices and you'll see performance from swiping seems pretty consistent with
beta 5 but everything seems to be working okay there is a little bit of
stutter from time to but it's quite good on older devices as
well as the iPhone 6s plus that I have here it's also nice and fast and I did
run a geek bench and we'll talk about that in a moment after we talk about
battery life and then iPad OS I haven't seen any specific iPad OS changes yet so
hopefully there's something different about this but there's not really any
specifics yet that I'm seeing as far as changes so everything's very consistent
with iPad OS 5 or beta 5 so as far as that goes those are the changes let's
talk a little bit about battery life now it is a beta so battery life can be hit
or miss but for me on beta 5 it was okay I wouldn't say it was phenomenal but it
was okay wait for it to load here and then over the last 10 days you'll see
here's the top day 4 hours and 31 minutes of screen time 2 hours and 45
minutes of screen off time with about 80% usage so about 20 percent usage left
or 20 percent battery life left so it's not great probably an hour less than I
was getting with iOS 12.4 betas so for me it hasn't been great now that is
going to depend heavily on what you're using it for the home in lockscreen with
a lot of notifications or Twitter or whatever you're using is going to affect
that and I probably should turn off some more background activity to help with
that as well now as far as benchmarks I did run it on all of these devices so
let's go ahead and take a look at that now the Geekbench scores on my iPhone
XS Max were pretty decent 4817 for single core 11,000 312 for multi-core
we'll take a look at the other devices in the background in a moment but if we
compare this with the history you'll see that it's ok it's actually down a little
bit when it comes to the actual single core but it's up a little bit with
multi-core so it basically means it's going to perform as expected as it has
been with beta 5 for the most part now if you want to reference the rest of
these here we have the iPhone se on the far left then the iPad air 2 in the
middle and then the iPhone 6s plus on the right of the iPad so this gives you
a general idea if you're within these ballpark numbers you you're pretty good
that's it for iOS 13 developer beta 6 and public beta 5
and if I find anything else of course I'll do a follow-up video with any of
the other major features I don't tend to cover really small things as far as
pixels moving left to right and things like that since those are always in flux
and constantly being changed and refined by Apple now as far as the particular
wallpaper I'll link it in the description and if you're thinking of
trying iOS 13 beta right now it's probably pretty safe to do so but just
keep in mind that if anything is to go wrong you will have to restore it
possibly and if you're afraid to do that or roll it back to iOS 12 potentially
losing data then I would pass otherwise it's been pretty stable at this point
and of course for those of you that are using Apple watch with it hopefully the
battery life is a little bit better and let me know if you want to see a
separate video for Apple watch if there's any major changes or significant
