hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech iOS 13 has about a month or so to go
before it's released to the public and I've been using it since June on my
iPhone XS Max and my iPhone XR as my main devices and I wanted to talk
about performance and also different features and things that I find useful
now a lot of people are saying iOS 13 doesn't have a whole lot of new features
and there's not a ton of completely redone features but there's a lot more
than you might realize in fact according to Apple there's over
260 updates and changes and that's from everything to dark mode we'll talk about
some of these in just a moment but dark mode performance enhancements and
performance enhancements to you older devices such the iPhone se so the iPhone
se and the iPhone 6s and 6s plus are the oldest supported devices for iOS 13 no
longer can you use an iPhone 5s or 6 or 6 plus you'll have to upgrade to one of
these devices or a newer in order for it to work
now with iOS 13 we didn't get a full redesign of the OS so a lot of people
were sort of disappointed with that some were fine with it
but one thing we do get is 3d touch or haptic touch across all the devices with
all the same functionality so if we have to press on the Settings app and then I
do the same on the iPhone se I get the same settings so it's not quite the same
feel as a pressure-sensitive display on a 3d touch display such as the iPhone 6s
plus or the XS Max but you do get much of the same functionality and features
they're really trying to unify that across all the different devices and the
reason is most likely due to the next iPhones not having pressure-sensitive
screens but rather having all the same functionality just built in with press
and hold so some people are not happy about that but that's seemingly what it
looks like we don't know that for sure but one of the features many people
wanted they actually added and that was dark mode and I actually enjoy using
dark mode so dark mode will turn it on here and I didn't think I'd like dark
mode that much because it's kind of depressing to look at all day long in my
opinion but I do use the automatic switching between day and night so if we
go to light and dark when it gets dark outside it switches to dark mode and I
really appreciate that especially at night for reading I find that too
a really helpful feature now let me run down to some of the feature changes that
they've done and some of them that I think are really useful and others that
aren't so much so one of the updates they've done is with the reminders app
the reminders app gets a complete revamp they completely redid the whole app it
looks better it's easier to use and more functional it's got a light and dark
mode so depending on which phone you're on it's light or dark I think it looks
really good and it has lists and everything you would expect from a
reminders app now one of the features I find to be one of the most useful is the
new quicktype keyboard and while it's not quite there yet as far as its
usability it really has a ways to go until it catches up with say the Google
keyboard it's quite good so far so if I say hi how are you today it's actually
usable just by swiping your finger and so I think this will get much better in
the future but right now it's something that needs a little bit of improvement
sometimes it's great sometimes it's not so I find that it's hit or miss now
there's a big update also to photos and camera the whole Photos app gets a
complete revamp and that's something that I don't know it brings it closer to
Google Photos and I think it's a good move but it's not revolutionary
unless you've never used Google Photos so if we go into photos you'll see we
now have a today view that breaks things down into what it thinks I might want to
see we have albums and things like we had before and then if we go to photos
you'll see it breaks down years and things like that if I go into 2019
it breaks down years into days and I think it's really nice with moving video
and things like that it's just a nicer overall way to see your actual photos
now on the iPhone XS in XS Max we have a new feature in photos for stage
like mono and things like that it's nothing amazing but it's just a
couple added features and we'll probably see more features with the new triple
cameras on the next iPhone so something like that we'll probably see a little
bit of an update to camera now before we go any further I want to talk about the
wallpaper that I'm using right now a lot of you asked me where you can get it and
this wallpaper is probably alls by jfl it was actually made
exclusively for Zolo tech if I lock the screen go to the home screen you'll see
this is what the home screen or lock screen looks like and if I go to the
home screen now it's changed I have this SATA vailable I'll link it in the
description below you can check it out and be sure to follow walls by jfl on
twitter if you have a Twitter account you can see it there so really nice it's
not sponsored or anything he was just nice enough to make these particular
wallpapers exclusively for this particular video so check it out now the
other thing is there's updates to privacy to Maps to Siri shortcuts is now
included in iOS 13 there's also audio sharing and new
momochi customizations and momochi stickers updates to carplay again
performance augmented reality and then arcade is coming a little bit later
we'll have our Kaede access where we can pay a monthly fee and play a bunch of
games so those are all the major features now I know it's not a major
over overhaul or anything like that and honestly I don't know if we'll see that
with iOS 14 or we'll see that at all because we're getting to the maturity
level of phone os's so android hasn't changed a whole lot this year with its
next update android q if you want to see that I have videos on that as well but
we're at the point of maturity where things just need to function well and be
more of a utility and a tool as opposed to changing everything all the time I
always welcome the change but it's more important to have stability than
anything else really you want to have a dependable phone you can use and as far
as performance I've found that performance is quite good in fact I've
had no issues now with betas I do have issues that are bugs here and there but
the actual performance and scroll speeds apps opening things like that going back
and forth between apps opening a new app maybe will open music scroll through
here just everything is super smooth in fact it's to the point where I don't
know that you would need to update to the next phone unless there's something
incredible with iPhone 11 so with iOS 13 and your previous iPhones even on say an
iPhone 6s plus performance seems to be quite good so I haven't used this phone
a whole lot you'll see wait for it to load there we go we'll go into the App
Store it's not loaded well just a moment but you'll see scrolling
is quite smooth there's not a huge issue here when you're good when you're using
on an older device so if you're happy with things like the camera you'll see
that opened very quickly that's the first time I've opened camera since
installing this particular beta version it's just nice and fast all the time I
really don't have an issue unless you're having issues specifically with an app
or maybe your phone is failing you can just replace the battery use iOS 13 and
if you're happy with your phone there's no need to upgrade because they just
make it better and better battery life also seems to be the same or better than
iOS 12 it's not going to get too much better maybe closer to the end when it's
actually released to the public we'll see a big change but you'll see my
current battery life I'm getting about six and a half hours of screen on time
in a couple of hours of screen off time every single day and by the time I put
it on the charger I'm at 20 or 30% at the end of the day I have no problems
getting through the day I use it mostly for social media but battery overall
seems to be really good on iOS 13 so far at least compared to iOS 12 for me
everything seems to be so good that I don't know that if I didn't do YouTube
here and do these videos I don't know that I would upgrade my phone next time
around iOS 13 seems to do really well augmented
reality should have some interesting features I don't know what we'll see
exactly but maybe we could 3d scan something with the new phones I'm not
sure but overall iOS 13 I think is a good update I think if you have a phone
that supports that you definitely should update from 12 to 13 and there's not
really any issue with using an older device now as far as features there are
a lot of helpful little features around like I said the little dark mode button
you can share audio with people the shortcuts being built-in that means
we'll have some better integration later on but you'll see how fast that loads
these are apps I have not loaded before they're not open in the background so
you'll see how quickly that opens up maybe we'll go into a utility here
this isn't these are some apps that I rarely open let's go to something like
we'll go to maybe be an H photo I've never loaded this app
probably in months you'll see it loads fine it's just depending on your
internet connection at that point everything seems to be super fast so I
have no issues whatsoever when it comes to loading using the phone battery life
and as long as you can get replacement batteries have Apple replace them you
should be fine and that's it for iOS 13 my early review of course I'll have a
more thorough review when it's released and what it's actually like if Apple's
going to work out all the bugs of course that's going to be a great thing and
especially performance wise I know a lot of people are really concerned about
these older devices in performance but really they're quite good in fact if I
open up an app I haven't opened on here maybe the TV app I don't use TV on such
small displays you'll see it loads nice and fast no issues here whatsoever nice
and fast scrolling nice and smooth and then more helpful things like files and
it's just a really nice experience and it's very mature if we see a full revamp
with iOS 14 that's that'll be interesting to see but right now all of
these extra features just make it nice to use it's dependable and I recommend
