Apple released iOS 13.5 beta 4 earlier this week, we have already had a look at the latest beta and now we have another video, this one is from Brandon Butch.
The new beta of iOS 13.5 is available for both developers and also public beta testers, lets have a look at the latest beta.
New Features in iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5
As we can see from the video, there are a number of new features coming to the iPhone with iOS 13.5 and the iPad with iPadOS 13.5. One of the most significant additions is Apple’s new contact tracing feature for Covid-19. This feature is designed to help track and reduce the spread of the virus by notifying users if they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. This is achieved through a system that uses Bluetooth technology to exchange anonymous identifiers with nearby devices.
In addition to the contact tracing feature, iOS 13.5 also introduces improvements to Face ID. With the new update, Face ID will be able to detect when a user is wearing a mask and will automatically prompt for the passcode screen, making it easier and faster to unlock the device in situations where mask-wearing is necessary.
Another notable feature is the ability to share Medical ID information during emergency calls. This can be crucial in providing first responders with important health information quickly and efficiently.
Performance Enhancements and Bug Fixes
Beyond the new features, iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5 also bring a range of performance enhancements and bug fixes. Apple has focused on optimizing the overall performance of the operating system, ensuring smoother and more responsive interactions. This includes improvements to app launch times, system stability, and battery life.
Bug fixes in this update address various issues that users have reported in previous versions. For example, some users experienced problems with the Mail app, such as messages not loading correctly or the app crashing unexpectedly. These issues have been addressed in the latest beta, providing a more reliable email experience.
Additionally, there have been fixes for issues related to Bluetooth connectivity, which some users found to be inconsistent. The update aims to provide a more stable and reliable connection for Bluetooth devices, such as headphones and speakers.
We are expecting the final versions of the software to land some time this month, and we will probably see one or two more betas before the final release. As soon as we get some more information on exactly when Apple will be releasing their iOS 13.5 update for the iPhone and iPadOS 13.5 for the iPad, we will let you guys know.
