Apple recently released their new iOS 13 beta 5, and now we have a speed test video of iOS 13 beta 5 vs iOS 12.4.
In the video below, we get to see iOS 13 beta 5 and iOS 12.4 run side by side on the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7, and the iPhone 8. This video is designed to show us if there are any speed improvements in apps downloaded from the App Store.
Speed Improvements in iOS 13 Beta 5
There do appear to be some speed improvements in some of the apps that were downloaded from Apple’s App Store compared to the built-in apps on the device where we have not seen any speed improvements to date. For instance, apps like Safari, Mail, and Messages show marginal improvements in launch times and responsiveness. However, third-party apps such as Instagram, Twitter, and various games seem to benefit more significantly from the optimizations in iOS 13 beta 5.
The iPhone 6S, being the oldest device in the test, shows noticeable improvements in app launch times and overall fluidity. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 also exhibit enhanced performance, but the differences are less pronounced compared to the iPhone 6S. This suggests that iOS 13 beta 5 is particularly beneficial for older devices, potentially extending their usability.
New Features and Enhancements
Apart from speed improvements, iOS 13 beta 5 brings a host of new features and enhancements. Dark Mode is one of the most anticipated features, offering a system-wide dark theme that is easier on the eyes and can help save battery life on OLED screens. Additionally, the Photos app has been revamped with new editing tools and a more intuitive interface, making it easier to manage and edit your photo library.
Another significant update is the introduction of the new “Sign in with Apple” feature, which aims to provide a more secure and private way to sign into apps and websites. This feature generates a unique, random email address for each app, ensuring that your personal email remains private.
Apple Maps has also received a substantial update, with more detailed maps, better road coverage, and improved pedestrian data. The new “Look Around” feature offers a street-level view similar to Google Street View, providing a more immersive navigation experience.
Apple will be releasing their iOS 13 software sometime in September along with their new iPhones. As yet, we do not have an exact release date for the software. However, based on previous release patterns, it is likely to coincide with the launch event for the new iPhone models, which typically occurs in the second week of September.
In conclusion, iOS 13 beta 5 shows promising improvements in speed and performance, particularly for older devices. The new features and enhancements further solidify iOS 13 as a significant update, offering a more refined and feature-rich experience for users. As we await the official release, it will be interesting to see how these improvements and features evolve in the final version.
