hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I paddle s beta five is out for
developers and soon to public beta testers by the time you're watching this
it very well could be out at the time I'm filming this it's not out so usually
within a day or so the public beta is released now as requested I'm covering
iPad OS in a separate video I already covered iOS in a previous video I'll
link it in the description as well as up at the top here so you can take a look
at it now to cover all of the different iPads I have the oldest on the right
with the iPad air 2 the oldest supported device anyway with iOS 13 and iPad OS 13
and on the Left iPad pro 12 point 9 from 2018 so anything in between as far as
iPad minis or iPad air the newer iPad air should be the same or
better as far as performance is concerned all the way up to the iPad pro
so let's talk about the build number then we'll talk about the actual changes
performance speed battery life and then maybe a geek bench and maybe some bugs I
have as well so let's take a look at that build number the build number is 17
a 5 5 4 7 D and it's the same build that we have on iOS 13 on iPhones and that D
means we're getting closer to a final release where we'll see Apple start
pushing out more and more betas to get it closer to that letter a and then a GM
or golden master where they finally release it to the public so we expect
the final release in September as I've mentioned before now with this
particular update there are 45 known issues remaining that goes across iOS 13
and iPad OS there's also 13 resolved issues and one of the things they've
resolved is with the iPad it now properly joins a Wi-Fi network when
Wi-Fi is turned back on through control center so when you go in here you turn
off Wi-Fi and then you turn it back on sometimes it wasn't reconnecting
properly they fixed that also if you use whatsapp and some banking apps they've
fixed those as well now one of the first changes they've made has to do with dark
mode so if we go into settings go to display and brightness where there's
appearance we can switch from light to dark mode and they've made this a nice
transition from light to dark mode it just has a nice fade back and forth
it's just a nice little change that we expect from Apple with really
refinements as far as that goes the next thing is going to please a lot of people
as far as the arrangement of the home screen goes and again under display and
brightness and settings if you scroll to the bottom you now have app icon size so
you can go more that we have here that's kind of what we have with iPad OS or we
can go bigger which makes it look more like iOS 12 and if we scroll from left
to right there we we no longer get our widgets pulling in from the side like we
have on the iPad pro here on the left so where you can bring in your widgets on
the side you can't do that any more if you switch to that larger view so
bigger view we go out and vertically we have four apps with the larger view
across the side if you have the iPad in landscape and five apps across the top
if you go into the more view you now have six apps across the top and five
vertically so it just condenses them when you bring the different widgets or
today view in so it's nice but I kind of like the newer view it makes it feel
more useful to me personally but you can change it if you don't like that and I
like that they've brought that now one of the things they've fixed has to do
with when you have to touch or 3d press since iPads don't have that let me
switch this back to the view I like more here when the when you 3d press or hold
on Safari you now have new tab new private tab
that wasn't there before as far as the new tab it's come back so it's nice that
they've just brought that back now also there's some new options for Mouse
pointers so this is really nice let me go on my iPad pro and show you under
settings if we go to accessibility and then we go to touch and then we go to
assistive touch down towards devices or pointer devices where we have our mouse
settings there's some new pointer style settings as far as its size
adjustability so we can really adjust this quite a bit there's just more
options here and like we had before we have different colors and things for the
pointer and that's really nice that they've added that just some
more subtle changes that might help people if you're having a hard time
seeing the pointer or the pointer is just too big to begin with now they've
made a little bit of a change to the volume adjustment so if you go to a
volume volume adjustment here the actual volume slider is a little bit smaller
and then on iPhones there's haptic feedback when you go and adjust the
volume but there's just more adjustments in between so instead of having only 10
or so volume adjustments it seems there's quite a few more as you press
the buttons up and down so you have more refinement or more settings as far as
volume is concerned now if you've used the shortcuts app something they've
removed that they're going to return later on has to do with the automations
that were at the bottom with an iPhone you could just tap and use the NFC
reader to actually set up automations they've removed that tab and they're
going to bring it back but for now there must have been some problems or
something because they actually removed it so that should be back later on now
they've made some changes to the share sheet as well so if you go into a
website maybe I go to an older video I have here on my solo tech website and
then we want to share that you'll see the share sheet has changed it's broken
into sections now so we have copy at the top with our apps along the top then we
have specific things to Safari so we have add bookmark add to favorite find
on page add to homescreen and then our normal ones at the bottom
and then we can edit these actions and you'll see again it's grouped with
Safari and other actions and favorites at the top so it's a nice little change
and it also looks different if you didn't catch that the text is black and
white and so the text is white here for in light mode the text is dark so let's
switch over to to light mode here we'll go back and you'll see the text is now
black over a white background so they've changed it up a little bit it looks a
little different and I think it's a little bit nicer now if we go into the
home app swipe over here if we go into the home app you'll see we have a
wallpaper and they've updated this wallpaper so if we go to edit and then
we hit the arrow next to the word home and then we scroll down on our settings
we now have choose from existing take a photo for wallpaper but the new
wallpapers are here and so you'll see there's some new ones across the
wallpapers are all different and whatever you set syncs across all your
devices so if I want to switch it to yellow or blue or maybe this darker blue
here it will change it takes a moment because like I said it syncs across all
devices there we go it's changed and I think you get the idea there now as far
as little subtle changes they've actually changed some of the
connectivity if you have an LTE version of this they've made the size more
consistent across the top so the Wi-Fi and the LTE signal basically matched the
height of the battery that's in the upper right so they've just made a small
tweak to that and it's really nice something very subtle but again Apple is
refining things here now if you haven't noticed there's a little bug I think
that I found on on my iPad down in the bottom right on the dock it's actually
bunching apps together so I don't know if there's a new as a new feature but if
we go into the app you'll see here it's bunched together with something behind
it and you'll see there's Google behind it but I have no way to access that so I
don't know if this is a new feature coming later but it's just something I
noticed and then as far as weird responsiveness issues actually YouTube
has been fine on this since I've been using it no issues with touch but I have
had weird touch issues specifically on the iPad pro where sometimes it just
doesn't work I could go into settings scroll and it just stops working
properly so hopefully they fix that I haven't seen that fixed yet but it seems
to be better than it was but there's still some issues here and there now as
far as performance on the iPad air 2 it's actually quite good if you saw my
iOS 13 video yesterday it wasn't so good it just wasn't responding well it didn't
work well and I rebooted it and now it's fine so I don't know what that was maybe
it just initially was updated but it seems to be nice and fast no issues with
scrolling nothing like that an app seemed to open pretty quickly you'll see
Monument Valley - here I'm not sure I've played this for a long time or ever on
the iPad air but you'll see load times here we'll
just wait for it to continue and there we go so the game is loaded and of
course it seems to work fine so I wouldn't expect any major issues as far
as that's concerned now there's an iPad tip I wanted to
share with you that I haven't heard anyone mention it's been there since
beta 1 and I've been using mail now and it seems to be much better than it was
there's still a few bugs and hiccups sometimes touch responsiveness isn't
great but overall it seems to be working for me now
now if you have an external keyboard or an apple smart keyboard or whatever with
an iPad or iPad Pro and you want to select multiple email to delete them all
you have to do is hit edit tap the first one hold shift on the keyboard and tap
the last one and it will select all of them in between just like it would on a
Mac if you selected all of them then if you want to delete them hit delete and
it will delete them all at once usually sometimes you have to hit it a couple
times it's not that great it is a little bit buggy sometimes but that feature is
there and it's something I use all of the time now as far as battery life is
concerned my iPad pro 12.9 is actually my main computing device when I'm not
editing video so I can give you a pretty good idea of battery here and I've run
all of the different betas on this and you'll see over the last 10 days here it
actually has not been that great in fact the best was 5 hours and 35 minutes of
screen on time 40 minutes of screen off time and it's just not that great I
usually get about 50% battery life left after using it a few hours if I'm
watching video you'll see I use Netflix quite a bit on here and it just was not
great I would say maybe 7 or 8 hours of use where it used to be 10 I would
expect that to get better hopefully with this particular beta but only time will
tell as far as that's concerned now I did run a Geekbench on these devices
just to see how they are for you for those of you that are interested in that
let's take a look at that now on the left with the iPad pro you can see I
have 5050 two for single core 17,000 871 for multi-core that's pretty good on the
right I have the iPad air 2 with 1,800 and one for single core 4306
one for multi-core compared to the previous version of iOS or iPad OS it's
basically the same it's very close and performance seems to be good overall
that's it for iPad OS beta 5 let me know what you think in the comments below and
