hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.1 developer
beta 2 this is available to all developers all iOS 13 supported devices
and if you're waiting for that public beta it will be out later today or
sometime tomorrow or maybe by the time you're watching this now if you're
wondering about iOS 13 where that's at well do not expect another update until
the actual Apple Keynote which is on September 10th it's a Tuesday ample will
show off the next iPhones the iPhone 11 and those different models and maybe
some other things as well and then also you'll be able to get the GM or golden
master after that that's how they've done it every year for many years so I
would expect iOS 13 GM then and then we'll figure out how we can install iOS
13 if we don't want to be on iOS 13.1 now this one came in at 280 point 4
megabytes on my iPhone XS Max similarly-sized and all the other
devices here so let's take a look at the build number you can see the build
number is 17 a 5/8 31 C and this particular build number really means
we've got a ways to go as far as the final version normally when there's a C
we're waiting for B and a and I would expect this version to actually or iOS
13 point 1 2 maybe release in October or maybe even later now in this particular
beta there are 26 known issues that still remain but there are a lot of
fixed ones however the notes do not mention any resolved issues whatsoever
now the one thing that is fixed at least for me so far today is LTE
there's a new modem firmware in iOS 13 point 1 beta 2 and so far so far when I
leave a Wi-Fi network it jumps over to LTE no problem earlier in the day when I
was on beta 1 this was really bad so right now it's working really well now
as far as things that are fixed in this particular update there's quite a few
little things that are fixed that were broken in the previous version so if we
go into photos and then I go to share this wallpaper this is today's wallpaper
and of course I'll link it in the description as I always do we'll go
ahead and share here and you'll see the share sheet is actually fixed so all of
the icons are still there of course I have them blurred out but you'll see
that you can actually see my airdrop icon and this is working proper
now now if we slide up and we use this as a wallpaper we can now move this
around again we can resize the wallpaper that was broken before they've since
fixed that so that part's great I'm glad it's working again and then also if you
had a problem with hangouts crashing that's working again as well so those
things are fixed that you can see and thankfully it's all working properly now
on the iPad we had some issues with folders and moving them around and
they've fixed this as well and this is a new little pop-up you'll see it says
today view add the two debate today view we already knew about the today view but
this is just showing up so we'll just add it to the home screen here and it
goes away now as far as the folders go these work a lot better now you'll see
we'll wait for it there we can create a folder they don't blank out or go away
and they do seem to be a little bit darker as well especially if you have
your device on dark mode if you have dark mode turned on it's actually the
wallpaper seems to be a little bit darker so if we go to light you'll see
there's the wallpaper then we'll go back over here I don't have the shortcut on
here of course and now we're back to dark mode so the wallpaper does seem to
respond and gets a little bit darker now aside from the home screen being fixed
there are a couple new things here and there as well there's a new feature in
settings if we go to settings and then we go down to shortcuts and here you'll
see there's allow untrusted shortcuts if you turn this off and back on it's going
to say allow untrusted shortcuts Apple does not review shortcuts outside of the
gallery running shortcuts from untrusted sources can put your personal device or
personal data at risk if we allow this we need to put in our passcode so we'll
allow it put in the passcode now once we've turned that on if we go home and
then we go to shortcuts wherever I've put that I just put it in a folder we'll
go in to shortcuts and then maybe I want to share this shortcut so log caffiene
tap the three dots and now I can actually share it in the bottom right so
we'll go ahead and share it and you'll see here it gives me some actions if I
hit copy iCloud link it says create iCloud link anyone with access to this
shared link will be able to view the contents of this shortcut so it's
warning you if you want to share this so you can copy it and then you're good to
go in order to do this you must be signed into iCloud this iPad is not now
that particular link was not on my iPhone so if I go into my iPhone here
the shortcuts option is not there so we'll go back if I go down to shortcuts
the actual share option isn't there so you may or may not have this I'm not
sure why it's on my iPad it's not on my phones for some people it is some for
some others it is not so I'm not sure why that is but you may or may not have
that now again on the iPad there's one more small change we'll go back here
we'll go to settings and if we go to settings and then we go to display and
brightness under display in brightness if we go to the bottom the home screen
layout has changed its now animated you'll see it says more and bigger and
then it also says keep today view on the home screen this used to be under the
widget itself now we can just turn it on and off with a toggle and it says home
screen layout so they've just changed this around a little bit
minor changes but they have tweaked it so let's go back home and take a look at
a couple other new things now another thing I noticed that seemed new to me
was under podcasts and if you go to podcasts and hit Search it now says new
and Apple podcasts searched the audio now we knew we could do this before you
can search the actual audio of a podcast so maybe we'll type in iPhone 11 and see
what comes up we'll search all podcasts and see if it finds anything and you
should be able to search it now so any of these podcasts actually mention
iPhone 11 so that should be something that's different as well it's just a new
little blurb there but we knew we would be able to search those before now also
some are saying that the actual spacing on the dock is a little bit different I
don't see this you may or may not notice it but if it is it's very slight I
compared it to different iPhones running different versions of iOS in fact let me
bring over my iPhone XR the spacing may or may not be different this is
actually on a previous version so the spacing may or may not be different I
don't really it also there is one thing that we won't
be able to see yet but when you're charging your device and you're going to
do an update there will be a new message that has to do with either wireless
charging verse wired charging and being able to update not worrying about the
charge level so we'll see that when the next update comes out but that's
something they've added that's actually in the code itself now as far as issues
that still remain mail is still super buggy it seems to be for most people
already or still I'm surprised they haven't actually fixed this but
hopefully they'll fix this soon because that's a major problem for myself I
really don't enjoy using the mail app because it's kind of a pain it doesn't
work properly now as far as performance it feels very fast and super smooth so
if we go in here you'll see it's nice and smooth and then 3d touching actually
feels very similar to haptic touch but it's very fast so it doesn't seem to
feel as though it's pressure sensitive but it's what the new 3d touch is now on
older devices people in forums are actually saying they're seeing good
performance on older devices as well such as the SE and we'll look at the 6s
plus in a moment but again scrolling is fast going into music maybe we'll go out
of that we'll go into the app store give it a second to load it's the first time
I've opened it and you'll see it's pretty smooth and fast no problems there
whatsoever and again on the 6s plus we should see the same thing so with the 6s
I haven't opened the App Store yet there we go
nice and smooth let's open music again well it was a little choppy there and it
usually is as it's loading for a second but it's not too bad it seems like it's
nice and fast even on these older devices so that's really nice it should
play your games fine of course it's a little bit of a mystery how we're going
to get back to iOS 13 if we want to be on that now as far as battery battery is
going to take a few days to measure I always do a follow-up where I ask how
it's been for you but the previous beta was okay I would say it's on par with
what we had before and here's over the last ten days I'm
usually getting about six to six and a half hours we
is an entire battery charge so usually by the time I go to bed I've done about
four and a half hours of screen on time and maybe an hour of screen off time
just depending on the day and how much I use the device and then I'll have 20 or
30% left I wouldn't say it's phenomenal but it's okay we'll check it in a few
days but it is a beta and it's not as relevant on beta software and then
there's one final thing that isn't related to iOS so much as it is to Apple
TV which was updated and they'll have a keep watching screen and so we'll see
that on some of the other ones as far as keep watching and seeing how that does
and it may prompt you after watching a couple different videos to say do you
want to keep lodging now as far as the Geekbench is concerned I know a lot of
you asked about that so I've run it on all of these devices so I'll open that
up in just a moment and let's take a look at Geekbench
on all of them so we'll open Geekbench and then my iPhone XS Max I have a
score of four thousand eight hundred and one eleven thousand four hundred and
forty eight now there is a new version of Geekbench out I didn't use that just
for consistency sake but I will switch over to that once the new iPhones come
out so we'll go to history here we'll go to CPU and if we take a look compared to
the previous version we're right about the same we're within twenty to fifty to
a point so basically it's going to be the same for most people but let me lay
all these out so you can get an idea of what this should be as far as Geekbench
and we'll take a look at it now from left to right we have the iPad air 2
then the iPhone se then the iPhone 6s plus and then the iPhone XS Max so
these are all the different devices and what they're Geekbench scores are that's
it for iOS 13 point 1 beta 2 what do you think about it let me know in the
comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper in the description as I always
do if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and hit that
notification bell if you'd like to see more of these videos as soon as they're
released if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks for
watching I'll see you next time
