hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.4
developer beta 5 this is out to developers around the world at the same
time but if you're looking for the public beta expect that either by the
time you're watching this video or a little bit later today or the following
day it just depends on what Apple does on that given day now this came in an a
fairly small one hundred and eighteen point seven megabytes on my iPhone 11
pro max and it was similarly sized on the iPad pro twelve point nine from 2018
but it was below 100 megabytes on the iPhone XR and the iPhone 6s plus now
along with these betas apple also released betas for Mac OS 10.15.4
Mac OS Catalina beta five and then also TV OS 13 point for beta five
and of course iPad OS but they did not release an update for watch OS yet so
there's no updated beta yet maybe in a day or so now let's take a look at the
build number the build number is 17 e 5 to 55 a and with an A at the end you
would expect a new update maybe to beta 6 or the final version within a week or
two so normally Apple once they get to a
means they're close to the final version and so maybe we'll see one next week but
I'll talk more about that towards the end of the video now the first thing to
know with this is there is no new modem update there wasn't a new modem update
last week either and LTE and Wi-Fi for me have actually been really good I've
had no problems when leaving Wi-Fi and going to LTE switching back and forth
I don't lose connectivity or anything like that so it seems like they've
really nailed that down and fixed it and I haven't really heard any complaints
from people of LTE and Wi-Fi specifically but people are still having
issues with beta 4 with Wi-Fi and that could be the router they're using or it
could be something with iOS hopefully they've fixed those bugs but they've
made no mention of that however there are some notes for this particular beta
but they didn't mention anything new so there are still two known issues which
is basically just how to install this and then also there's one resolved issue
and that had to do with the keyboard on the iPad so really those are leftover
updates as far as the notes are concerned so there's nothing really
exciting when it came to that so nothing new there now prior to this update I
wanted to see how much storage we were using before the up
they and after so prior to the update I was using ninety two point nine
gigabytes of my 256 gigabytes and then total overall with system I was using
seven point two two gigabytes and other was using ten point six gigabytes now if
we take a look at what it's using now it was very similar the last time I checked
it but let's go ahead and take a look and you'll see it's actually using a
little bit more but it changed already so what happens is as processes and
things are going on in the background your storage could actually change but
right now I'm using ninety three point three gigabytes and then if we go down
to system and other you'll see system is using seven point two one gigabytes and
other is using ten point one eight gigabytes so this can vary if you give
it a few days it can vary back and forth and that's why I tell people don't judge
battery based on the first day or so because it's going to do different
things in the background to reorganize data and index and things like that so
that it's more efficient so just keep that in mind when you're checking betas
now as far as anything specifically new in this particular version well there's
nothing new that you'll find physically for the most part I haven't been able to
find anything specifically and maybe you'll see a few font changes or things
like that but there's nothing huge or feature wise or anything like that
they're really pushing those to iOS 14 and I'll talk more about that in a
moment and possibly in a separate video now as far as bug fixes though they have
not listed any specific bug fixes but I have checked out a few things that
people were concerned about the first one with was bugs and iMessage I haven't
experienced any of those although I haven't had too many in general I
haven't had any of those I've had no issues with rotation on the phones that
can actually rotate the home screen so this is an iPhone 6s plus and if you
have a plus phone 6s plus seven plus eight plus you can actually rotate the
home screen and it's working every time now so I did have some problems with
that in the past and then also people with notifications locking up and things
like that so far my notifications have been coming in just fine I only have it
and do not disturb right now but until I put them in that they were coming in
properly mail seems to be showing the correct amount of email when I go in
it's there right away so that's a good sign so it seems like mail may be fixed
but a few days will will show if it really
is fixed or not and then finally as far as bugs I have no lock ups and settings
with the previous beta I actually had this lock up when I would go into it it
doesn't seem to be a problem now and seems to be working properly so that's a
good sign I think they're really just fixing all of those bugs now while there
are no bugs or huge changes with this particular update someone did find
something interesting that posted it on the discord server now I do have discord
and telegram and we have some great conversations there and some wallpapers
and things from time to time and this person is Austin and they were able to
find in find my that under the me tab there's a blank box now whether or not
this is significant or not is not really easy to say but it seems like this may
be a placeholder for something else so it's just a bug that showed up it did
not show up on my iPhone or other people's iPhones just his so I don't
know what this is maybe for air tags something like that but it probably
wouldn't be under me it's hard to say but it seems like it's just a bug but
let me know if you have this box as well but that leads me to battery life now
battery life like I said will take a few days to know for sure but if we go into
battery my battery health is still at 100% and like I've said before the
updates don't affect the battery health they're just simply rechecking for
battery health so let's go back and take a look at the battery and yesterday on
beta 4 I had four and a half hours or more of screen off time that's pretty
high about two hours and 34 minutes of screen on time four hours and 40 minutes
of screen off time you'll see I only used about a quarter of my battery and
so should I use this or continue to use this up to 100% of my battery prior to
plugging it in I would get about nine to ten hours of screen on time and I would
expect that that's what I was getting with beta four and I would expect that
with beta five after a couple days but again it takes a few days to know what
it is for sure now I did do a quick RAM management test in the way I did that as
I opened every single app that you can see here plus a couple in the folders
and then I went back to things like YouTube to see if it would load without
actually reloading everything within the app and so far so good so it seems like
RAM management is good so far but sometimes it takes a few days to see how
it does we're all but in general it seems like
YouTube is updated their app so that's no longer an issue now as far as iPad OS
don't expect anything new on iPad OS it's basically the same thing as iOS and
they haven't really updated anything at all so it just has the same fixes and
everything as iOS thirteen point four beta five iPad OS thirteen point four
beta five so expect the same performance I've had no rotation issues on my iPad
as well it's working well and no issues there now as far as performance is
concerned I did play around with weave minecraft a little bit on the iPhone 6s
plus I also went into some apps on the iPhone XR but it seems to be
performing basically the same as beta 4 and I've had no issues there you'll see
it will make me resume minecraft we'll wait for it just a second and
everything's resuming pretty quickly I did notice a couple framerate drops as I
was kind of walking across this field here but for the most part it's working
really well so I've had no issues there and then on the iPhone XR I went
through and opened a couple apps just to see how it go and you'll see music
didn't reload or anything and everything seems to be nice and smooth the cameras
opening fast no problems whatsoever you can switch between whatever scrolling is
fast settings is not locking up everything seems to be fairly smooth and
like you'd expect for a beta this far in now let's take a look at the Geekbench
scores so we'll go into Geekbench 5 and I did run this twice and I saw the
numbers kind of vary a little bit but I scored 1322 for single core 3284 for
multi-core if we go into the history we'll go to CPU here and it will take a
look at what we had prior and you'll see on March 3rd we had very similar scores
for the single core 13 22 and then we had a little bit higher for multi-core
no I ran it twice I guess higher scores on the second time here 3284 verse 3389
basically this will improve over time and it should be fine you really
shouldn't notice any differences and most people I've talked to already have
said that this is very smooth and snappy overall now let me set up all these
devices so you can take a look at these as well on the Left we have the iPad pro
12.9 from 2018 then we
the iPhone 6s plus then the iPhone XR and then the iPhone 11 Pro Max and these
should give you a general idea of what your devices are performing at if
they're similar to these devices now let me know if you want to continue to see
this in the video as some people find this more helpful than others but I'd
love to hear what you have to say about this in the comments below now iOS 13
point for beta 5 may not be the final version in fact it's not the final
version or GM based off the actual build number the GM is actually the one
released to the public or golden master and so we may see a beta 6 or we could
even see the final next week but based off some of the information about
upcoming products and things being released on the 31st it's really hard to
say we may see a final release as soon as next week
or later on but hopefully we'll see it sooner rather than later as it seems
like most things are really fixed or we're buttoned down so hopefully we'll
see a final pretty soon now as far as iOS 14 there has been a lot of
information on that and I'll probably do a video about it with iOS 14 watch OS 7
and there's a ton of different information coming out about that so
I'll do a separate video about that probably as more information rolls in
but that's really it for this beta expect a final or beta 6 next week and
of course a follow up later in the week when I usually post them on Sunday after
doing the poll later this week but let me know what you think about it in the
comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper in
the description as I always do if you haven't subscribed already though please
subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like there's always
thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next time
