hi everyone Aaron here for Zolo Tech and today Apple released iOS 13.5 gm
or golden master this is the final version that will come out to the public
fairly soon and I'll talk about that a little bit later on but this brings some
updates some feature changes and some bug fixes as well and came in at a very
large 4.16GB on my iPhone 11 pro max it also came in
similarly sized on the iPhone 10 R the iPhone 6s plus and the iPad air 2 which
the iPad air 2 was more like 3 gigabytes as far as its overall size and that's
because we're going from a public beta or a beta to a final version and so it
has to fully reinstall the operating system again now let's take a look at
the build number the build number is 17 f75
and because there's no number on the end that means this is basically the final
version and so I would expect this to be out fairly soon and this is what will be
on the public devices once it comes out now this particular update was released
alongside watch OS 6.2.5 which is now out to the public and
expect a video from me later on on that along with TV OS 13.4.5 and
also iPad OS 13.5 gm and that's the same thing that I have here
iOS and iPad OS are basically the same now with this update there's no modem
update so don't expect any changes as far as Wi-Fi or LTE changes there's no
modem updates that I could find anyway but there are some new features and the
first one has to do with music where you can share songs to Instagram so if we go
into music you'll see I have a song here we'll tap the three dots and then we'll
go to share and under share we now have Instagram and we can share this to
Instagram stories and Facebook stories so it'll take just a moment and I won't
do that now but you'll see we can share it to Instagram or Facebook stories here
and it just makes it easier to do if you want to share music that way now there's
some updates to face ID that allows you to use the phone more easily with a mask
so for example when you pick up your phone with face ID if you're not wearing
a mask it just unlocks but if you're wearing a mask it's a little bit
different so let me show you now with a mask on if you lift your phone and try
and unlock it it will go immediately to the passcode to allow you
to put in your password because it recognizes your face looks like you've
got a mask on and this will apply to things like face ID for Apple pay and
also your passwords and everything else so it will make it much easier to get
into your device if you're wearing a mask now along with the updates to face
ID they've also added exposure notifications for contact tracing now
this is turned off by default and there's no way to enable it unless you
have an app installed that allows you to use it so if you go to your settings and
then you go down to privacy and then you go to health under health you'll see
there's exposure logging now it's off by default and if we go into it we cannot
turn it on unless there's an app setup designated to actually use this so once
you install an app that wants to use it you have to allow it as well so it
doesn't just use it by default and then also you've got exposure checks here and
you can go into that and see any exposure checks no again you don't have
to use this it's off by default and there's no way to turn it on unless you
have an app that actually wants to use it so it's for privacy reasons and it's
here but it's off so if you want to use it and you have an app available where
you live you'll be able to use it very easily and this will communicate with
Android phones as well using Bluetooth when that's turned on now along with the
contact tracing there's updates to emergency services to go along with that
so for example if you're in the US where this is the only place this feature will
work currently I'm sure that Apple will have to talk to your government and
things in order to get this to work elsewhere but right now if you're in the
United States and you use your health ID which is under settings and then if you
go down to health under health you have your health profile and medical ID
there's an option in here now that allows you to automatically share your
health information from your medical ID when you place an emergency call so if
you go into medical ID down at the bottom it says share during emergency
call and this is enabled on mine because I turned it on now this is off by
default so if you don't want to share your information such as your emergency
contacts your blood type your weight your height all of those things you can
keep it turned off but if you want to share it and you need to place an
emergency call you can now that goes along with today's watch OS 6.2.5
where we'll share if it senses a fall and
things like that if you have those emergency calls turned on where it will
place a call if it senses a problem that can all coincide together with that
feature and give the dispatcher that you're speaking with a little more
information now there's some updates to FaceTime as well so if we go into
settings and then we go down to FaceTime at the bottom there's a new option for
automatic prominence and it says during group FaceTime calls the tile of the
person speaking will automatically become larger now this is on by default
and that's how group FaceTime calls currently work but if you're in a large
group FaceTime call and you don't want that the person speaking popping up
constantly maybe you have a lot of people talking you can simply turn it
off or leave it on depending on how many calls you place and how many people
you're speaking to so it's just a nice little option that they've added now
there's some bug fixes as well in this update and the first one has to do with
that text crashbug so people that were having the text
message come through with those odd characters it would cause your phone to
crash that will no longer cause the phone to crash and it will work fine so
maybe you saw that bug on messages or Twitter or somewhere else
your phone will no longer crash when that those characters come up now also
they've fixed an issue where users may see a black screen when trying to play
streaming videos from some websites so that's fixed now they've also updated
and addressed an issue in the share sheet where suggestions and actions may
not load so maybe you're trying to share a song and the suggested people aren't
showing up like they did earlier for me it will now work properly so it seems to
be working fine for me and then finally on iPad OS there's one more thing in the
note as far as what's actually fixed and it's kind of odd that it's on iPad OS
but not iOS since they're the same thing as far as mail and everything else so if
I go into my photos here I snapped a photo of it and you'll see at the bottom
it says it resolves security issues including some that could lead to
unexpected memory corruption or stability issues with the mail app now I
didn't see this on iOS but it's on iPad OS I would imagine it carries across to
iOS but it wasn't in the notes at least from what I saw on the note so it's it's
there with iPad OS I'm an imagine it's there with iOS but it's just something
to know and hopefully they've fixed issues with
with it's showing males prop mail properly when you have notifications it
seems like it's working okay but only time will tell
now as far as battery life on this particular update I've been using the
betas for a while now in iOS 13.5 beta 4 was actually quite good so if I go to
the battery you'll see my battery health is at 98% and your battery health does
not go down when you install an update it simply rejects the physical quality
of the battery where its maximum capacity so 98% after six months is
quite good but 80% after two years is completely normal and so on my best day
with the previous version I got 5 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time and 3
hours and 8 minutes of screen off time that's pretty good that means overall
since it only used 50% of my battery I would get almost 10 to 12 hours of
screen on time and maybe 6 or 7 hours of screen off time that's actually quite
good battery usage you'll see depending on the day my usage varies but that was
my best day and it seems to be doing fine overall now because this is a newer
version it will take a few days to measure you cannot check by seeing how
fast it goes down from 100% that's not really an accurate way you need to give
it a few days to see how the battery handles everything and then you'll know
how battery life is overall now as far as performance is concerned it's been
quite good I've actually been using this well since it came out anyway and I've
had no freeze ups or lock ups like I have in previous betas so it looks like
Apple may have stabilized this I haven't seen any issues and I haven't seen any
issues on older devices as well so on my iPhone 10 R I tried opening things like
music just to see how fast they would load and scroll going into settings
quickly going back out and the same is true on the oldest device here the
iPhone 6s plus so again scrolling is nice and smooth
just like you'd expect you can scroll fine rotate to landscape on the home
screen on the plus devices and go back into music it just seems to perform
basically the same as the 11pro Max unless maybe I was loading a game you
may see a slight delay there but really it's performing very well and I think
for the most part people will be happy with it
now let's take a look at the benchmark scores or the Geekbench scores now if we
go into Geekbench 5 that's what I'm using to measure this you'll see my
single core score was 1 thousand three hundred and twenty-eight
multicore was 3339 now this is pretty good but keep in mind that I actually
ran this right after I updated the OS so this usually will improve if I measure
in a few hours or a day later now if we take a look at the history you'll see
here it is a little bit lower as far as single and multi-core but again expect
those two an increase maybe over the next few hours or days as all the
background processes are completed now let's take a look at all of these
devices so you can compare yours with what I have here now on the far left I
have the iPad air 2 followed by the iPhone 6s plus then the iPhone 10 R and
then the iPhone 11 Pro Max and this will just give you a general baseline of
what your scores will be and again they'll probably be a little bit higher
after a few hours now as far as a release date for iOS 13.5 well
there's quite a few sources that say it will come out as soon as tomorrow and
that makes sense I've seen GM's come out and then the final come out a day or two
later that's pretty typical sometimes a week later but many sources are saying
the 19th is when we should see it if we don't see it then expect it later this
week or and that the latest the following week but again I would expect
it tomorrow now as far as new features and changes people were asking me will
we see iOS 13.5.1 or 13.6 by the end of the
year and yes I think we'll see some new versions up until August because Apple
generally gets iOS 14 ready in June for beta testers and then releases it to the
public in September but based on the way things are going this year maybe we'll
see it in October it's really hard to say exactly when we'll see it but if
they keep doing what they've done here after year expect iOS 14 to be released
in September with iOS 13 updates all the way up into August or so but it's hard
to say what Apple is actually going to do and you never know they could change
their plans at any minute if you'd like to get your hands on this
wallpaper of course I'll link it in the description as I always do and if you
