The new iOS 13.2 beta 1 software was released yesterday, and now we have a speed test of iOS 13.2 Beta 1 vs iOS 13.1.2. The iOS 13.1.2 software was also released this week.
In the video below, we get to see the new iOS 13.2 beta software run side by side with the current release on the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and the iPhone XR.
Performance Comparison
As we can see from the video, there do not appear to be any major new speed improvements in this new beta over the current version of Apple’s iOS. The tests conducted on the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone XR show that the performance differences are minimal. This is not entirely unexpected, as early beta versions often focus more on introducing new features and fixing bugs rather than optimizing performance.
However, it is important to note that the beta is the first version of iOS 13.2, so this could change by the time the final version of the software is released. Apple typically uses the beta period to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments, which can include performance enhancements. Therefore, users might see more significant improvements in speed and responsiveness in subsequent beta releases or the final version.
New Features and Improvements
While the speed test may not show significant performance gains, iOS 13.2 beta 1 does introduce some new features and improvements. One of the most anticipated features is the Deep Fusion camera technology for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. Deep Fusion uses advanced machine learning to process photos pixel by pixel, optimizing for texture, details, and noise in every part of the image. This feature aims to significantly improve photo quality, especially in medium to low light conditions.
Another notable addition is the new set of emojis that come with iOS 13.2. Apple has added a variety of new emojis, including more inclusive options such as gender-neutral characters and people with disabilities. These new emojis allow for better representation and inclusivity in digital communication.
Additionally, iOS 13.2 beta 1 includes updates to Siri, Apple’s voice assistant. Siri is now capable of announcing messages through AirPods, a feature that can be particularly useful for users who are on the go and need to stay connected without looking at their phones. This feature can be enabled in the settings and allows Siri to read out incoming messages as soon as they arrive.
The beta also brings improvements to HomeKit, Apple’s smart home platform. Users can now take advantage of new automation options and better integration with third-party accessories. These enhancements make it easier to control smart home devices and create more complex automation routines.
The final version of iOS 13.2 is expected to be released sometime around the end of the month or in early November. As always, it is recommended for users to back up their devices before installing beta software, as beta versions can sometimes contain bugs or issues that may affect the device’s performance.
