Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple surprisingly released ios
13.7 to developers this is available for developers to download right now we'll
talk more about the details in just a moment
but i hack 2 pro and then 9 to 5 mac actually
tweeted about this release saying that it would be out to the public
and it's not out to the public it's only to developers at this point which is
kind of odd since ios 14 betas are out at the same time but let's go ahead and
take a look at the size talk about what's new talk about the
performance and maybe when they'll release this in a
little while now ios 13.7 is a very large 4.21 gigabyte download
at least that's how large it was on my iphone 10s max
now anytime you're going from a public version of say ios
13.6.1 to a beta it's going to be a large install and then from a beta back
to public it will be a large install back to the final however this
particular version will be much smaller once it comes out
to the public and it's available for everyone or at least
normally it is now if you're already on ios 14
and you're using those betas you would actually have to use a computer to
downgrade to this version so just skip this version if you're on
the ios 14 betas and move on but i'll go over what's new in it now
let's take a look at the build number and then we'll talk about what's new
now as you can see the build number is 17 h33
and this is very interesting because this is basically a public
build number that we're seeing or a gm or golden master version
that means it should be released to the public based off that build number
normally there are some letters or numbers after that that would indicate
that it's a beta but now we're only seeing this like it's
a finalized version so that's very odd and we'll only know if it is the final
within the coming days or weeks so this particular update has one major
change according to apple you'll see it has exposure notification
systems without the need to download an app now this is similar to what we're
seeing in ios 14. so on my left here i have ios 14 running
on my iphone 11 pro max and if we scroll down you'll see it says
exposure notifications we'll now see the same thing in settings
on ios 13.7 so you'll see the menu is very similar
however on ios 13.6.1 it's located in a different place
so if we go to settings and then we go down to
privacy and then we go to health under health there you can see they've
moved it or have it there and they've moved it in ios
13.7 to this specific menu or the main menu of settings
and so now it will allow you to turn it on without having an app
now again this is off by default so you can see we'll have the availability
alerts turned on you can have that on or off
and then if you want to set it up set it up depending on where you live this may
or may not work well but just go to continue
select where you live so you want to select your country
go into that maybe we'll go here go to where we live
in the carolinas and you'll see where i live they're not currently available so
we'll just hit done and that's it they're off and it will
let me know if they're available later on
now other than that one feature i've already mentioned apple has not
specified anything new in their release notes
in fact it says there are no new release notes for this beta software update
so no new security updates no new mentioned bug fixes although there could
be some bug fixes but we just don't know what else is new
in it as it seems like that's all it is is that one feature
so it's kind of strange to see that that is really all this
update is for and so it's very interesting to see them put this in here
early on seeing how we have ios 14 betas already out there so that's very strange
i haven't seen them do this before but as you can see that's the major
change there are no other major changes that you should expect throughout in
fact this particular version is basically a
finalized version at this point so ios 13 really doesn't have any new
features that will be with ios 14 with its new
widget that you can see here and other widgets that we have so
there's all sorts of new changes with ios 14 and of course i'm surprised that
they put out ios 13.7 now as far as performance well expect
the exact same performance as ios 13.6.1 and so far in the little time that i've
been using it seems to be responding quickly
like you would expect and also let's take a look at the benchmarks just
because i know a lot of you are curious about that so we'll go into
geekbench i'll use geekbench 5 and run that now as you can see the
geekbench scores on the iphone 10s max are
1114 for single core 2 360 from multicore if we take a look at
the history i'm not sure that we have a whole lot
here but you'll see on august 26th today and then last year on september 18th
2019 we have a slightly higher score for both
single and multicore now of course this could go up if i just
ran it again but it's close enough that i wouldn't think it's a concern
and it seems to be running pretty well so far now as far as battery life well i
haven't been using ios 13.6.1 for a while
but most people were saying it was okay over 70 percent or so we're saying that
it had the same or better battery life than ios 13.6 for example
so or 13.6.1 seemed to be pretty good now as far as this battery well i
haven't really looked at it in a while but let's take a look
you'll see it's at 100 this is actually a replacement unit i had
long story but this got wet and i had to have it replaced
and then other than that i would expect this to do pretty well over the next few
days so if you'd like to see a battery follow
up for this beta or if we just should stick to ios 14 betas let me know in the
comments below so that's it for ios 13.7 maybe expect a
release as soon as a couple of days since this is seemingly a gm or golden
master that will probably be the same as the one released to the public
i would expect it maybe as soon as next week but who knows what apple's doing
with this particular version so let me know what you think about that in
the comments below if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course
i'll link it in the description like i normally do
