The new Apple iOS 13.6 GM software was released to developers and public beta testers recently. We have already had a look at the new features in the OS, and now we have another video to delve deeper into its performance.
The video below from iAppleBytes gives us a look at iOS 13.6 GM vs iOS 13.5.1 to see if there are any speed improvements in the software. This GM version is basically the final version of iOS 13.6 that we are expecting to see next week.
Performance Enhancements
As we can see from the video, there are some minor improvements in boot times on a number of the devices in the video. While these improvements may seem small, they can contribute to a smoother user experience over time. Faster boot times mean less waiting around for your device to be ready to use, which can be particularly beneficial for those who frequently restart their devices.
However, there are no major improvements in the speed of the various apps. This suggests that while the operating system itself may be more efficient, individual app performance remains largely unchanged. This is not necessarily a negative point, as app developers often need to update their apps to take full advantage of new OS capabilities.
New Features and Updates
Beyond performance, iOS 13.6 brings several new features and updates. One of the most notable additions is the new Health app feature that allows users to log symptoms of various illnesses. This can be particularly useful for tracking symptoms over time and sharing this information with healthcare providers.
Another significant update is the addition of CarKey, a feature that allows users to unlock and start their car using their iPhone. This feature is initially compatible with select BMW models, but it is expected to expand to other car manufacturers in the future. CarKey uses NFC technology to communicate with the car, providing a secure and convenient way to access your vehicle.
Additionally, iOS 13.6 includes updates to Apple News, with a new audio feature that allows users to listen to news stories. This can be particularly useful for those who prefer to consume news on the go or while multitasking.
We are expecting the iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6 software updates sometime next week. As soon as we get details on when it will land, we will let you guys know. These updates are anticipated to bring not only the new features mentioned but also various bug fixes and security improvements, making your device more secure and reliable.
In conclusion, while iOS 13.6 GM may not bring groundbreaking speed improvements, it does offer several new features and enhancements that can improve the overall user experience. Whether it’s faster boot times, new health tracking capabilities, or innovative features like CarKey, there’s something in this update for everyone. Stay tuned for the official release, and make sure to update your devices to take full advantage of what iOS 13.6 has to offer.
