Apple Releases iOS 12.1.3 Developer Beta 2 and Public Update 12.1.2

Yesterday, Apple released iOS 12.1.2 to the public, skipping over the beta 1 phase of this version. This update is available for download, and its size varies depending on whether you were previously on the final version or an earlier beta.

The build number of this update is 16d5032a. As we can see in the video, it's a continuation of the previous update, which aimed to include those features but had to rush out the previous build yesterday due to patent issues with Qualcomm. Specifically, Qualcomm halted sales of iPhones from the 6s and newer models based on the way the app switcher animation works. The issue was related to photos and setting them as wallpapers.

Before diving into the new features and bug fixes of this update, let's take a look at the storage size before and after updating. I used 43.7GB of storage and system usage was at 18.83GB. After updating, my iPhone is using less system storage, which is approximately 17.43GB. This can vary depending on what you're doing, so keep that in mind.

The battery life on this previous version from yesterday was okay but not amazing. It took a couple of days to determine how it's going to behave, and I still had 50% battery life left after 3 hours and 20 minutes of use. Now that I've been using the update for a little while, it seems good on all devices.

The notes from Apple mention two issues they've resolved in this update. The first issue was related to some user interface elements being inaccessible, specifically voiceover in the electrocardiogram and irregular heart rhythm notifications in health. In the Health app, I can now access those features without any issues.

Additionally, if you have one of the newer iPads, such as the third-generation 12 point 9 inch or 11 inch iPad, they've fixed some performance with audio when using third-party apps. This is a bug fix update and a continuation of the previous version.

Speed overall seems good on all devices, including my iPhone 5s. When I load a game on this device, it should be fast everywhere. If you're curious about how games run on this update or have any questions, please let me know in the comments below.

As for performance, I've been using this update for a little while now, and it seems to perform well on all devices. On my iPhone 6s plus, 3D touch is working well, scroll speeds are fine, and general usage seems okay as well. There shouldn't be any issues there.

Finally, the benchmark results show that this version of iOS has improved performance at least. I ran some benchmarks, but unfortunately, it's not saving that information in my notes. However, what I can see is that the multi-core score is 11,100 and 8, which is much better than the previous versions where I was getting scores in the thousands. This is a good sign that Apple has improved performance on this update.

There's also some additional news regarding power consumption. If you're using an OLED display like the XS max or X or XS, this should save you a little bit of power too. They're using black pixels on the home screen, which means you'll only be lighting about half of them and saving a little more power.

Overall, that's it for today's update. I hope you found this helpful, and if you have any questions or comments, please let me know in the description below. Don't forget to subscribe and like if you haven't already, and as always, thanks for watching!
