hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released iOS 13.4
developer beta 3 now this is out to developers and hopefully soon to public
beta testers it usually comes out the same day or lately it's been the next
day so beta 2 actually came out to public beta testers the following day so
you may be seeing it by the time you're watching this video or it could be the
following day now on my iPhone 11 pro max it came in at three hundred and
thirty six point three megabytes and it was about three hundred megabytes on all
of these devices here my iPhone 6s plus iPad pro 12 point nine and also the
iPhone XR so let's go ahead and take a look at the build number now one thing
to know about the build number is when you go into about to see the build
number it actually delays now there's a little bug there already so you'll see
it delays and then it goes over to the build number so again if I go back to
about it delays now this particular build number is 17 e 5 2 4 1 D and this
build does not have a ton new in it but there are some other things that are
fairly significant in the code I'll talk about some other things they've fixed as
well in a moment but the first thing is there were also Mac OS watch OS and
Apple TV updates for beta testers so if your beta testing those particular
devices you'll have all of those updates as well as iPad OS as well now on the
iPhone 11 pro max that I'm using here and some other phones you may see a
modem update and if you want to know how to find that modem update you go to
settings and go back to about and if you scroll down the modem firmware is here
now the modem firmware on my phone is 1.05 0.28 and this particular modem
firmware probably is ok I actually had no issues with beta 2 on Wi-Fi or LTE so
if I switch from Wi-Fi to LTE and back again I had no issues whatsoever so it
seems to be ok they've finally fixed the issues at least for me on my phones and
I haven't heard any complaints since beta 1 or beta 2 so it seems like apples
really fix that problem however there's also carrier updates as well for some so
depending on what carrier you have it's under the same
you there you may have an update for that as well from Verizon t-mobile
Sprint AT&T or others now Apple did update their notes a little bit and
there is one known issue and it's really not a bug it's just basically an issue
that says if you want to install iOS 13 point for beta 3 using a restore image
first you need to install the Xcode 11 point for beta 2 so if you want to use
the image to do it you'll need to actually install it with Xcode otherwise
you're good to go now they did resolve three issues and two of them are fairly
significant in fact the first one has to do with settings so there was a bug
where settings could quit unexpectedly after using a specific app setting so
maybe you were going to settings for say how about down here we'll go to filmic
pro settings the Settings app could actually crash when you go into that
they fix that problem and it shouldn't do that anymore
they've also fixed an issue where photos might not sync with your Apple watch so
if you're having issues with photos syncing to Apple watch that should now
be resolved now as far as new things in this particular update well there's two
really small things to know one is actually going to be huge in the future
and was found by someone at 9 to 5 Mac and that is OS recovery over-the-air so
what that means is if you're using your iPhone and you want to recover software
you may be able to just download the latest software if it was in a recovery
mode you can do this on a Mac currently where you can do an internet installer
an internet recovery you also may have the ability to connect directly from
your iPhones lightning port to another iPhone and connect that way so that you
can restore from another phone so just like you can kind of do a backup and
restore you may be able to do it now completely without iTunes or finder on
the Mac so it looks like we're moving away from that sort of setup which makes
sense since a lot of people don't use computers as much anymore for backup and
recovery with iTunes and instead want to use their devices so we should see that
in the future so that's something I'm looking forward to and as soon as you're
able to try that out I'll show you what it looks like now the other things found
in the code thanks to my friend Steve over at Mac rumors is there's new TV
rating symbols for the UK so there's only two that were found
and you can see them here on the Left these are ratings specific to the UK we
don't have these in the United States they've added this so maybe if you're
using the TV app you'll see them and there's really nothing else new in this
particular update so they fixed bugs I'm sure there's probably bug fixes in here
we haven't seen so if you're having issues whether that be with music I've
heard a lot of you say you had music issues or some of you having issues with
messaging locking up hopefully it fixes that issue for you thankfully I haven't
had that I have had a few issues with a mail but mail seems to be okay right now
it's showing for and for mail or showing up so right now everything seems to be
working properly so there's not a huge update right now and I would expect this
particular update to come out at the end of March maybe a little bit before but
if Apple has an event at the end of March I would expect it then now as far
as iPad OS those same changes carry over to iPad OS but there's nothing new
specific to iPad hopefully we'll see some changes to multitasking with things
like iOS 14 but right now there's nothing new now as far as battery life
is concerned iOS 13 point for beta 2 for the most part was pretty good from most
people I heard from they said it was great now for me let's take a look at it
will go to battery and then we'll go to battery health my battery health is at
100% and and as I've mentioned before and I'll continue to mention battery
health does not get affected just by doing an update it's just simply
rechecking the status of your battery capacity and as far as overall usage
though you'll see I have not used my phone a ton of been checking out other
things using my iPad but if we take a look at yesterday ahead screen on time
of 3 hours and 13 minutes with 2 hours and 8 minutes of screen off time that's
playing music or doing something that's actually using the phone but with the
screen off and you'll see I used only about 25% of my battery while doing that
so if I was to continue using my battery until it drained or used 100% usage got
about 12 hours of screen on time so for me it's been really good others have
reported that it's great I would say about with beta to 80% of you said that
it was good now as far as performance overall well it takes a while to figure
out performance and battery life over a few days and I'll do a follow-up about
that but I did play around with the iPhone 6s
plus a little bit for performance so things just like swiping those are going
to be fine and you'll see apps loading scrolling takes a moment to load but
it's working fine but as far as overall performance I did mess around with
minecraft just a little bit and if there's a specific app you want me to
try out regularly for consistent tasks as for our speed let me know in the
comments below but frame rates seemed consistent when I
first loaded the app they were a little bit slow but then picked up quickly so
you'll see frame rates are fine there's no issues there and then on the other
devices like the iPhone XR all of the changes in delays that I mentioned
with the about are all the same on all the devices I tried going into about on
all of them and it also hiccuped on all of them so I'm not sure why it's doing
that but it is now there's one other thing I wanted to talk about before we
take a look at the benchmarks and that is storage I actually took a screenshot
of storage on my iPhone 11 Promax prior to installing the update just to see
where storage is at since some of you asked about this so prior to it I had
43.5 gigabytes of use storage and system was using a 7.21 gigabytes if we compare
that to what we're getting right now let's go back out of here we'll take a
look at I phone storage and currently it's using forty two point three
gigabytes of storage and we'll wait for this to load to see what system is using
now this can improve over time as it completes tasks in the background and so
the system storage right now is at seven point two one so it's very similar it's
nothing to worry about it seems to be using the same and you shouldn't be
worried about using more storage and when the final version of this comes out
it shouldn't be a problem as well now let's take a look at the Geekbench
scores now I'm using Geekbench five if you're not familiar with that you will
see lower numbers than Geekbench four but with the iPhone 11 pro max I scored
1332 for single core 3,175 for multi-core if we take a look at the
history and see what it was at last week with beta 2 and you'll see for single
core we're a little bit higher and then multi-core we're a little bit lower so
it just depends when you run this what the scores will be but overall they
should be fine I wouldn't expect them to go down dramatically or
really see any specific difference on your device now let's take a look at all
of these devices and get an idea of what Geekbench is on all of them from left to
right we have the iPad pro 12.9 from 2018 then we have the iPhone 6s plus the
iPhone XR and the iPhone 11 Pro Max so if you compare your device with this
as long as it's within a few hundred of these it should be performing optimally
and maybe even faster so that's it for iOS 13 point for beta 3 of course I'll
do a follow-up in a few days and I'll run a poll to see how it's going for you
but in general it seems like it's going to be ok 13.4 is fixing a lot of
stability issues and like I said before I think this will come out at the end of
March along with that Apple event if we see that with the release of some new
devices as well so expect it then and then of course in June with WWDC expect
iOS 14 at least to be shown and then released to the public in September if
they keep with what they've been doing all along at least for the past few
years now if you found anything else new let me know in the comments below and
I'll give you a shout out in the follow-up video if you did find
something different and if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of
course I'll link it in the description as I always do if you haven't subscribed
