hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and Iowa's thirteen point four has been out
to developers for quite a few days now and then finally released a public beta
testers and have been using the developer version which is the exact
same as the public beta version on my iPhone 11 pro max primarily I also have
it on the iPhone 6s plus my iPhone XR and iPad pro as well as the iPhone se
and so I wanted to talk about my experience because it's actually changed
quite a bit over the past week or so and the other thing as well is there's a
bunch of features that I actually had to make two separate videos about so if you
haven't seen those I'll link those in the description as well as you can click
a little button up here and check out those videos because there's actually
quite a few features in this particular update and it's turning out to be really
good for such an early build of the update meaning I expect probably four
betas at this point and I'll talk more about the release date and battery in a
little while now the first thing is at first this was really buggy to the point
where it was almost a pain to use it and I switched to a different phone for a
little while for a day or so because messages just wasn't working properly
and what I mean by that is any time I tried to send a message to a group text
or they tried to send one to me or someone else tried to send me a message
it would come through but it would come through duplicated so let me show you
what I mean so at the top here you'll see this is a screen capture from one of
my text messages and you'll see they both say thanks and this is actually
sent by this group and then popped up as someone else even though it was part of
this group and every time someone would text me it could be any one of these
people it would pop in is a duplicate and it would show up at the top and then
I couldn't text at all until I actually forced closed the app swiped it off the
screen and then started over the next time someone would text me it would do
the exact same thing now what I found that fixed this was to actually remove
yourself from the group so leave the conversation and then go back in that
seemed to completely resolve the issue so I'm not sure what happened with that
group text but if you have old group text where that's happening you can
leave that conversation in the group text and then go back in deleting the
group text didn't help it was just removing yourself from the conversation
of that group texts and that seemed to rectify the
problem so that's finally fixed I can use this fine without any issues the
other problem I had was with LTE and Wi-Fi and what I mean by that is my
connectivity was fine it didn't really matter switching from LTE or Wi-Fi or
back and forth it really made no difference the problem was was
occasionally it would be really slow so if I'm on Apple's website here and I
load a webpage you'll see it loaded nice and fast if I go to buy it should do the
same and before it would just sort of hiccup and not do anything now all of
the sudden it's working fine so it took a few days and now it's working
perfectly in fact I'd say this is less buggy finally for me after a few days
than any other version of iOS 13 so this turns out to be really good for me on my
11 perl max and battery life for me on this has actually been pretty good now I
like I said I've only been using it for the time it's been out so we'll wait for
it to load here and battery health is at 100% updates don't really affect battery
health I explained that in a different video as well but updates don't really
affect it it's basically just rechecking your physical battery health but here
you can see the actual screen on time so this was the last 24 hours let's go to
the last day this was yesterday and you'll see I only used it two hours in
one minute and had one hour and 10 minutes of screen off time screen off
time is when it's playing music in the background with the screen turned off or
something along those lines and you'll see I used over a little bit over a
quarter of the battery so maybe if I was to continue using this I'd get about
eight hours of screen on time that wasn't particularly great but for the
most part I'm finding that my usage is usually a little bit low I'm using my
Mac and my iPad more and more and so you'll see here I had three hours of
screen on time three minutes of screen off time and I use less than a quarter
of the battery so again if I kept using it that day we bring that out to a full
day or a full 100% of usage three times four we get twelve hours of screen on
time and that's what I'm seeing and that's what I'm hearing from a lot of
you so I took a look at the youtube community poll that I ran last week for
beta one when the developer beta was out and maybe if you want to see another one
I'll do a follow up this weekend on day like I normally do unless there's
another update then we'll cover that one but if you want to see more or you can
just vote on this one but this one has 10,000 votes and so with all of these
different feature ads and things I would expect it to be a little bit more buggy
than it is but it seems to be really good now when I did the initial
follow-up there was about a hundred comments and about three thousand less
votes or so and so now we have 12 percent of people saying it's great and
only three percent saying it's terrible five percent are saying there's some
bug's so these numbers are pretty low at this point and I think it's a really
good update initially I was telling people do not update to this version
because there's issues but as far as performance and everything so battery is
good performance wise I've had zero hiccups no slowdowns to scrolling
through anything opening apps you'll see I don't do a whole lot of gaming or
anything on here but opening apps social media apps the App Store it's nice and
fast and RAM management has been really good I haven't had a whole lot of
reloads with the exception of YouTube which seems to be pretty common in
general so normally I can open about 20 different applications and then I can
open an app and it will reload so that's pretty good I can multitask without any
issues but with the exception of YouTube it'll reload after maybe a few minutes
or five apps or so so I'm not sure why that is but it seems to be fairly common
now the update has also been great on older devices so if you have an iPhone
6s plus or newer then I wouldn't expect any issues as well the performance is
going to be the same loading applications is going to be the same and
if you've had any issues with performance with thirteen or thirteen
point three I would expect it to be much better with thirteen point four you'll
see even though it's a little bit older things seem to load pretty quickly and
if you're using applications such as Minecraft or using it for gaming it's
still plenty fast it loads fine I wouldn't expect any slowdowns on older
devices we're seeing this on the iPhone XR the iPhone 7 the 7 plus the
iPhone X all of them seem to be pretty solid with iOS 13.4 so other than that
it seems to be a pretty good update I've had no bugs no crashes and only the
as I mentioned with messages which was pretty big but now that it's resolved
it's fine and of course if I'm having issues I need to report them to feedback
and hopefully you're doing the same and that then Apple can prioritize those
issues now let's take a look at a couple different comments because quite a few
of you commented before I'll just show you a couple because I'm not going to go
through a bunch of these but I just wanted to show you that a lot of people
are saying it's really good we'll go down to the last day or so and you'll
see someone said it's running great on both my iPhone 8 plus and 2014 iPad pro
you'll see someone says really terrible I have the Notification Center in my
iPhone 7 when I open the control center it's horrible
I've had no issues with notifications or anything like that of course I have it
on do not disturb during the video but really everything's working fine for me
as far as that so I'm not sure what that is but some people will have bugs and a
hard reboot could help that as well so you'll see a couple people are saying a
rotation bug on iphone 8 plus and someone else is saying I have Wi-Fi
issues on thirteen point one point one on my ten are so thinking of updating to
the beta I wouldn't say that Wi-Fi is in any better at this point I've noticed
that with this update in previous iOS 13 updates such as iOS 13.3 iOS 13 point
three point one I've had issues with it content connecting to Wi-Fi and actually
being fast I'm not sure what protocol changed but there's something that's
definitely different I use euro routers at home and those usually are really
great they're great with other devices still it's just the iOS devices
especially my iPad when using the YouTube app if I use the YouTube app on
my iPad or my iPhone it's slow and sometimes has to reload but if I go into
the browser such as Safari it doesn't have to do that and it's 1080p all the
time so I'm not sure what that's about that's really it for this particular
update it's working great now I would highly recommend it however be aware
that there's bugs of course because it's a beta it's an early beta and as far as
the release date I would expect it to be sometime in March probably when we
expect an event so somewhere around that point we'll see new emoji probably to
bring it up to speed with the new Unicode standards and as well as maybe
some new products from Apple March as well so we won't see any major
new features until iOS 14 in June and that's really all there is to say about
this particular update thirteen point four is solid I would recommend it at
this point if you don't mind dealing with bugs otherwise I would wait for
maybe the final release or a couple betas in before giving it a try since
you can't really go back without a computer but let me know your thoughts
in the comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper as I always do if
you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video
please give it a like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you
next time thanks for sticking around to the end of the video since you stuck
around to the end I thought I'd ask you a quick question are you enjoying these
follow-ups would you like to see more of them and what devices would you like to
see more of so while the updates are pretty much the same across all devices
if you'd like to see the ten are more than say the 11pro max let me know in
the comments below and thanks again for watching this far into the video
