hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.5
developer beta 4 and probably public beta 3 by the time you're watching this
or later today or the following day depending on when you're watching it so
iOS 13.5 developer beta 4 and iOS 13.5 public beta 3 are the same
thing for those who aren't familiar now this particular update came in at 169.5
megabytes on my iPhone 11 pro max and it was similarly sized about 150
megabytes on my iPhone 10 are my iPad air 2 and the iPhone 6s plus now let's
take a look at the build number the build number is 17 F 5 0 6 5 a and that
a denotes that we're getting very close to a final release so whether or not the
final release will be next week is hard to say but we do know one thing before
we talk about what's new with this particular update that Apple did
announce when WWDC or the worldwide developer conference will be showing off
iOS 14 and that will be on June 22nd so if you're a developer expect beta 1 of
iOS 14 on June 22nd you'll be able to download and install it but usually you
do not want one of those on your normal device since they're pretty buggy now
along with today's beta update apple also released watch OS 6.2.5
beta 4, TV OS 13.4.5 beta 4 and also iPad OS 13.5 beta 4 of
course they also released an air pods Pro update yesterday to build number 2
d15 so if you have air pods Pro you should be able to update them now this
particular update does not have a modem update so if you were having issues on
beta 3 with modem issues as far as your Wi-Fi or LTE connectivity
there's no updates for either of those things and you'll still have those
issues unfortunately however I haven't had any LTE or modem issues with this
particular update now as far as notes and things like that well there's one
known issues for some developers with coding so that's not really anything
that would affect you unless you're a developer and you're coding something
specifically and then there's a couple things that this particular update fixes
and there's a couple new features as well so the first thing is it fixes that
boot bug where your phone is rebooting a
couple people that are running the beta seem to have that issue I didn't have
that issue on any of these devices but some people had it where it would reboot
over and over and they had to restore the device thankfully I didn't run into
that myself this should fix that now one thing I'm unsure if Apple fixed in this
particular beta is issues with mail and that's why I've been using other email
clients so on my iPhone 10 are I do have the same amount of notifications and if
I go into them now they're all there on my iPhone 10 are so if I go into them
you'll see there's a bunch of different email there and it's showing me that I
have them so now I just need to make sure that it's working properly and I
can go back to Apple Mail so I've been using others just to try and remedy this
issue that I've been having but hopefully they've fixed this bug in this
particular beta it also was confirmed that this fixes that messaging bug so if
you had those weird characters that you could place in your messages and it
would lock up your device and fully freeze it well Craig federighi confirmed
that in an email to one of the followers of this channel and he said that it was
fixed for sure now we thought that in beta 3 but at least he confirmed it so
thanks to Cameron for letting me know about that now the other thing as well
is that Apple has updated contact tracing and its notifications so where
this was an option that was turned on by default before it's no longer turned on
by default so if you go down to your settings and go to privacy in this beta
and then you go to health under health you have exposure logging and if you tap
on it you can't turn this on unless you have an app installed that would
actually use it so it's turned off by default and there's nothing you can do
as far as that goes so if you have an app that uses this then you can install
it other or use it otherwise it's just not even available now previously it was
a little bit different so I took a screenshot of it before I updated and
you'll see that it was turned on by default and you had a couple options so
it's a little bit different this time around
which is nice I think it's good to be turned off by default and then you can
turn it on if you want to use it when you have an app that wants to request
access to it now there's another update as well to your medical ID and this is a
pretty interesting update that I think will be helpful to some people so
whereas before your iPhone or your could notify someone if you had an
emergency it can now share more information with them now under settings
if we scroll down to health we go into health and we see health profile and
medical ID well if you've never gone into this before and set this up it will
actually prompt you with three different prompts to go over those settings now I
have it set up so it's a little bit different so if I go into my medical ID
I have this set up and down at the bottom you can see it says shared during
emergency call so what it can do is actually share this information my
emergency contacts my blood type different things about me if I want it
to when it makes an emergency call so maybe I place an emergency call with my
phone or my watch you can set it up to allow this now you can turn this off and
it is off by default I turned it on but it is something that's really nice if
someone needs to know more information about you
maybe you're unable to communicate that you'll be able to have at least the
people you're talking to on the other end know this information now as far as
any other new features there is no other new features that includes the iPad pro
however on the iPad a contact tracing is sort of searchable I turned it off by
accident there let me unlock it there it is sort of searchable but it's not
actually there so if we type in you'll see we have exposure notifications and
no I will not say that ordered on on YouTube so we have the option here but
you can't do anything with it so it's actually in the iPad it was there with
beta 3 but you can't do anything with it now battery life on a beta is something
that takes a few days to measure with any new update you can't measure when it
goes from 100% and down you actually have to let the full battery drain and
go back up or just use your daily usage and base it off that you can't tell
right away so if you go into settings and then we go to battery on the
previous beta I'll show you what it was but my battery health is now at 98% at
about seven months of usage and charging it every night 80% after two years is
normal and installing an update does not cause this to go down it simply just
rechecks with the actual physical battery health of the battery inside the
back of this is doing so it's not caused by the updates just rechecking it but
I'm down to 98% on this device now if we take a look at the last ten days
you'll see that my battery was not great I had 2 hours and 57 minutes of screen
on time 2 hours and 49 minutes of screen off time that's playing music or doing
things like that in the background with the screen off and so you'll see I had
about 50% usage almost 4050 percent usage sometimes more and I was getting
six to eight hours of screen on time normally you should be getting 10 to 12
with this device and now it is a beta so I don't expect it to have great battery
life sometime Beit sometimes betas are much better than others and
sometimes they're not but when the final version comes out I would expect it to
be the same or better now overall performance I did check performance on
the oldest device here the iPhone 6s plus and only the plus devices can
rotate the landscape home screen to landscape so you can't do this on any
other device such as the 10 or any of the newer ones so if we go into
minecraft I did have it open you'll see how fast it resumes here takes a second
and we're back in and then we can resume our game so you'll see that it performs
well I don't see any framerate drops I played around with this a little bit
earlier and didn't see any framerate drops and things like music seemed to be
nice and fast to load I really haven't had any issues just in playing around
with this for the past hour or so on and off so in general it seems like it's
doing ok but again it takes a few days to know that I did have issues with
settings locking up and things like that on previous versions and they shouldn't
be locking up now and so I haven't had any issues with scrolling or anything
like that now as far as benchmarks let's take a look at some of those I used
Geekbench 5 to take a look at that and with this update I scored 1330 for
single core and 3454 for multi-core so that's pretty good overall let's take a
look at the history if we take a look compared to the previous time I ran this
on April 29th you'll see that the single core is a little bit lower but the
multi-core is a little bit higher so in general it's performing good I would
expect it to perform the same or better hopefully we won't see any lock ups but
let's take a look at all of these devices together so you can compare your
Geekbench scores with these now from the left to the right we have the iPad air 2
followed by the iPhone 6s plus then the iPhone 10 R and then the
iPhone 11 Promax and this should give you a general idea of how your device
should be performing against these devices so if you have similar devices
you have the oldest supported device to the newest including the iPad as long as
you're performing in these general numbers you should be good to go now iOS
13.5 beta 4 seems like it's close to the final version based off the build number
it seems pretty complete but Apple still could make some changes before they
release it to the public but given that it's ending in an a and some other
information that's come out has said that we should basically expect this
around mid-may for the public release so maybe we'll see the public release next
week or the following week now as far as iOS 14 like I said expect that on June
22nd so we're not too far away a little over a month and a half or so but we'll
see iOS 14 for the first time on June 22nd
and of course I'll keep you updated with all that information as well and so
there's really nothing else to talk about in this particular update that
I've found anyway but if you've found anything else in iOS 13.5 beta 4 let me
know in the comments below and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this
