Apple has now released their iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1 software updates, and now we have a speed test video of iOS 13.3 vs iOS 13.3.1.
In the video below, we get to see iOS 13.3 run side by side with iOS 13.3.1 on a number of devices. This includes the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and the iPhone XR.
Performance Comparison
As we can see from the video, the results in this latest speed test are similar to the previous video we saw of the last iOS 13.3.1 beta. There are no major speed improvements in the new iOS 13.3.1 software over iOS 13.3 in either the various apps or in boot-up times. This consistency in performance suggests that Apple focused more on bug fixes and minor improvements rather than significant speed enhancements.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
While the speed test results may not show a noticeable difference, iOS 13.3.1 brings several important bug fixes and improvements. For instance, the update addresses an issue with the Communication Limits feature in Screen Time, which previously allowed a contact to be added without entering the Screen Time passcode. Additionally, it fixes a problem with the Mail app that caused remote images to load even when the “Load Remote Images” setting was disabled.
Another notable fix is related to the U1 Ultra Wideband chip in the iPhone 11 series. Users had reported privacy concerns regarding location tracking, and iOS 13.3.1 now includes a toggle to disable the U1 chip, addressing these concerns.
Moreover, the update resolves issues with FaceTime, such as a bug that caused distorted sound when making calls with certain devices. It also fixes a problem where push notifications might not be delivered over Wi-Fi, ensuring a more reliable user experience.
In conclusion, while iOS 13.3.1 may not bring significant speed improvements over iOS 13.3, it offers essential bug fixes and enhancements that improve the overall stability and functionality of the devices. Users who prioritize security and reliability will benefit from updating to the latest version. As always, it’s recommended to keep your device updated to the latest software to ensure you have the latest features and security improvements.
