hi everyone aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released
ios 13.6 gm or the gold master version or final version that will be available
to the public fairly soon probably next week at this
point this comes in at a very large 3.75
gigabytes on my iphone 11 and it's about four gigabytes or three
and a half gigabytes on all of these other devices as well the ipad air 2
the iphone 6s plus and so this particular version is the final version
that will be released to the public but if you're a developer you just have
it early you may get it as a public beta tester as well
and if you want to stay on this version without updating to maybe an ios 13.6.1
or 13.7 you'll want to delete the profile
after installing this if you want further updates well then you can just
leave it there but to remove the profile go to settings
go down to general go down to profile tap on the profile and remove it once
you remove it you'll no longer get these beta updates
now today apple also released ios 14 public beta 2.
and so i have it here on my iphone 11 pro
and this particular beta is the exact same beta that we have on ios as we have
for developers so if you are on ios 14 developer beta 2
ios 14 public beta 2 is the exact same beta so there's no reason to switch
between the two they're the same build number same
everything now let's take a look at the build number with ios 13.6 you can see
the build number is 17g68 and this particular build adds a few new
features so if you're not familiar with ios 13.6 betas already
there's some new features there is no new modem update if you're coming from
the betas you may have one if you're on an older
version of ios though now the first new feature has to do with
what's called car key or digital car keys
this is not something you can generally see unless you have a car that supports
it so for example bmw just started manufacturing a car that
will allow you to use your phone as a digital car key by using the nfc
tag in the back so you can tap this to your car and
unlock it you would set that up in wallet so if you have the car key
feature on your car you just go to wallet add the card
here and then you'll be able to use your phone to unlock your car it will be
updated in the future so that you can just leave it in your pocket and
walk up to your car and unlock it but for now you'll have to tap it to the car
it also has a new mode called power reserve if you're using the apple car
key that allows the phone to continue working for a car key
even if your phone has zero battery it will last for up to about five hours so
if your phone has zero battery it will continue to work now apple has
updated apple news now i haven't really used apple news in
quite some time but if we go into apple news
you'll see we have today news plus and a new audio button here at the bottom
and then following if we go to the audio button we now have
a daily recap of the news or a news briefing for the day
it's free you can play it and listen to it and you can also listen to it in the
apple podcast app now if you're an apple news plus
subscriber you can listen to them as well so under the apple news plus
icon you can listen to a lot of different news stories if you
want to do that or maybe you are visually impaired you'll be able to
listen to the news that way if it's supported also if you live in
new york city la houston or san francisco there's more
comprehensive news coverage as well and then finally the daily news covering
can be customized so the daily news newsletter
maybe you're getting that newsletter every day and you don't want to follow
certain topics you can just remove them and i added
these quite some time ago but you'll see notification and email under
notification and email this is where you can customize that so
choose which channels send notifications to all your icloud devices
and also your daily news as well so if you don't care about that just turn
them off and you're good to go there now within the health app they've
updated a couple features as well so if we go into health
you'll see your normal summary but if we tap on browse on the bottom
you'll see that we have health categories and now we have
symptoms under symptoms we can now add symptoms or information for things like
chills congestion coughing and many other
things so maybe you want to record this
information maybe your doctor has asked you to record it you can do that
you can share it with third party apps or not use it at all it's completely up
to you and 100 private unless you choose to share it so
you want to record that you had a sore throat
or maybe you had a fever you can do that maybe
nausea will go in here you pick the day add data
and you can pick whether it was present mild moderate severe
and when you had it and when it started so you can add all of these things to
better help with tracking some issues you might be
having updating your doctor or maybe you just want to keep track of this
now under settings there's a new option for updates so if you go to general
and then you go to software update you'll see that i'm up to date but if we
go to customize automatic updates we have some new options
we can download ios updates and install ios updates automatically
we don't have to have this on at all we can turn it on or have it install ios
updates by itself you can use this or you don't have to
but it's nice that they've added that if you don't want to install it don't
want it using space on your phone you can turn it off altogether and only
update when you choose to now something you can't necessarily see is easy is for
administrators if you're using wi-fi and you're an administrator you can now
specify domains to be excluded from always connected vpn connections so
if you're on a domain maybe for work with vpn
they can exclude domains that you're able to visit and things like that
through that vpn it's up to the administrator and that's mostly for work
environments now with this update comes a bunch of
bug fixes as well and they fixed an issue where apps may become
unresponsive when syncing icloud drive data so if you were having that issue
and it was trying to sync data and your phone completely froze up well your app
should now work properly they've also fixed an issue where some
calls from saskatchewan appeared as originating from the united
states that's kind of an odd bug but if you were having that it
should be resolved now if you're someone that uses an e sim
instead of a physical sim in the sim card tray and you're using roaming
there was a bug where it may show as though it was off even though it was on
so they've now fixed this also if you're using wi-fi calling which many people
are wi-fi calling was having some issues
with audio and that should be resolved so maybe it was dropping audio and i've
had that that issue personally it was dropping
audio so i turned off wi-fi calling and it fixed it they've now resolved it
so you should be able to use it properly now if you are having issues registering
your phone for wi-fi calling maybe you have an iphone 6s or maybe
even an older iphone se those may not have
registered properly for wi-fi calling that will now work apple has resolved
that as well now sometimes the keyboard would show up
even when a third-party keyboard was connected to an
ipad so maybe you were using an ipad pro with a keyboard
and you went to type but the keyboard would pop up on the screen
that's been resolved for the ipad and iphone as well if you're using a
keyboard so maybe you're going to safari maybe
you just wanted to type in an address you didn't want this keyboard to pop up
and it was popping up if you're using an external keyboard
that shouldn't be doing that any longer now also
apple has fixed an issue where japanese keyboards would incorrectly be mapped as
us keyboards so that should be resolved and then finally control center will
work properly now if you're using assistivetouch before it
may have locked up or frozen if you were using
assistivetouch now control center should respond
as you would expect when using assistivetouch
now those are all of the fixes that they've mentioned they've also linked to
security updates but they have not updated that page yet
so expect some security updates in the background as well with this particular
update now as far as battery with this update well this has not been my main
version of ios that i've been using i've been trying out ios 14
but many people that i've asked say that battery is actually quite good they're
saying that it's better than ios 13.5.1 and it's definitely fixed whatever bugs
they were having with the previous version so
you'll see i haven't used it i just turned this on today to update it and it
has one hour and 17 minutes of screen on time and it's barely used any battery
so i didn't even charge it to 100 so in general
expect it to be much better than you were having before there were some bugs
they're probably fixed and your battery should be improved
now as far as performance well performance seems to be pretty good i
don't know that it's any different than ios 13.5.1 but on older
devices such as this iphone 6s plus you'll see that it takes a moment
to load via wi-fi but scrolling is nice and smooth going
between different pages is good going into apps like minecraft seem to
be fine we'll wait for it to load here it's nice
and fast like you would expect and this is the oldest supported device for ios
13 and ios 14. so now that we're in it loaded
pretty pretty quickly it was fairly reasonable
you'll see that frame rates seem to be pretty good so if you're
playing minecraft or maybe you're playing fortnite or something else
expect performance to be the same or better depending on what you're playing
and how things are performing for you it seems to be okay
the ipad is the same as well this is the oldest supported ipad
and again scrolling is nice and smooth apps are opening fairly quickly
you'll see it's a little stuttery there but that's what i had before and then it
kind of smooths up as you use it and in general
the performance seems to be pretty good i don't expect it to be any worse on ios
14 in fact it may be a little bit better now as far as the benchmarks go let's
take a look at those i used geekbench 5 so if you have scores that
are much higher you may be on an older version but geekbench 5 is the latest
and on the iphone 11 i scored 1322 for single core
3266 for multi-core that's pretty good given what we had before and given the
fact that i ran this immediately after installing it so you
can see here's the different days on june 30th
it was a little bit lower so it's actually performing
pretty good multi-core is a little higher single core is a little bit lower
depending on which number you're looking at and which day
but in general it's pretty decent performance overall
now let's take a look at all of these devices on the left i have the ipad air
2 in the middle i have the iphone 6s plus
and on the right i have the iphone 11 and
if your scores are anywhere in between these you should be good to go
or if you're close on some of the newer devices expect similar performance or
very good performance i'd love to hear how it's going for you in the comments
below that's it for ios 13.6 gm expect the final version which is
this version you'll already just have it ahead of time
expect it to roll out within a week or so usually and also ios 13.6
may be one of the last versions until ios 14
although it's possible we could see an ios 13.7 before then although i'm not
sure what features apple would add with that
so maybe we'll have an ios 13.6.1 or something along those lines
now if you want to try out the ios 14 betas the public beta is now
out i created a video just before this one on how to update to that if you want
to try it out just keep in mind you can't go back
