**iOS 13 Beta 5: What's New and When Can We Expect the Final Release?**

As we continue to test iOS 13 beta 5, it's become clear that not much has changed from previous versions. The updates are largely behind-the-scenes bug fixes and refinements to issues that users have faced in the past. In this article, we'll dive into the details of what's new in iOS 13 beta 5 and when we can expect the final release.

**Battery Health: Separating Fact from Fiction**

One topic that has been causing confusion among users is the impact of updates on battery health. Many people believe that updating their device will decrease its maximum battery capacity, but this is simply not the case. What updating does is recalibrate your device and provides a better reading of your actual battery percentage to your maximum capacity percentage. In other words, updating itself will never decrease your maximum capacity; it's just going to run a new test to determine your actual battery health.

This myth has been around for a while, and it's great that Apple is finally setting the record straight. So, the next time someone tells you that updating your device is going to hurt your battery life, you can set them straight with this little piece of trivia. And if you're experiencing any issues with your device, be sure to report them in the Feedback app – it really helps Apple identify and fix problems.

**Performance: Still a Work in Progress**

As we'd expect from an beta release, performance is still not ideal. The speed and roll speed of your device may feel a bit slower than you're used to, but don't worry – this is largely due to the backend fixes and refinements that Apple is working on. There's nothing new or exciting in terms of performance changes at this stage, so if you were hoping for a major overhaul, you might be disappointed.

That being said, the updates are still making things feel faster than they did in previous beta releases. So while it may not be the speed boost you were expecting, there's definitely some room for improvement here. And who knows? Maybe with future updates and refinements, we'll see even more significant performance improvements down the line.

**The Final Release: When Can We Expect iOS 13.4?**

As we approach the end of the beta cycle, it's getting closer and closer to the final release date for iOS 13.4. According to our sources, we might see the final build as early as next week – but more likely around the week of March 18th or 19th.

However, there's a good chance that Apple will wait until the following week before releasing the final version. They've been known to release final versions on Thursdays in the past, and if they follow this pattern, we might see iOS 13.4 Final released on Thursday, March 20th.

Of course, these are just predictions at this point, and Apple is notorious for keeping their plans under wraps until the very last minute. So, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

**iOS 14: The Next Big Thing?**

Now that iOS 13 is well underway, it's time to start thinking about the next big thing – iOS 14. We're still expecting the first beta release of iOS 14 in June, with WWDC 2020 likely to be canceled due to COVID-19.

While we don't have any concrete information on what features will make it into iOS 14 just yet, we do know that Apple is working on some exciting new stuff. And if you want to stay up-to-date on all the latest rumors and predictions, I've got you covered – be sure to check out my upcoming videos on when we can expect iOS 14.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and about a week after releasing beta for Apple returns today with iOS 13 point for developer beta 5 now we also got beta updates for iPad OS Mac OS and TV OS but once again no watcher west 6.2 beta update just yeah now last week it came a day after the release of the iOS beta so if you do have an Apple watch and you're on the watch or west beta program you can expect that new beta probably tomorrow but of course in this video we're gonna be talking about what's new in iOS 13.4 developer beta 5 we're gonna talk about the bugs the bug fixes the performance battery life all the stuff that we normally discuss in these beta update videos here on the channel now we're also gonna discuss when we might see the final version of iOS 13.4 but anyways taking a look at the size of this update you can see it's a very small update at 119 megabytes here on in my iPhone 11 Pro and was about the same throughout on all devices including my iPad on iPad OS 13.4 beta 5 so that size continues to go down which of course indicates that we are getting closer and closer to a final release now let's go and check out the build numbers of Settings General about thirteen point four you can see there the build number is 17 e 5 2 5 5 a so once again another a at the end of the build number there which does of course indicate that we are getting closer and closer to a final bill and another indication of that is if we go down a little bit further to the modem firmware update and it's once again one point zero five point two eight now it hasn't changed since beta three and that's also another indication that we are very very close to a final release now given that this is a fifth beta of a point four release and the fact that this was just a 120 megabyte update I don't think anybody is really expecting a lot to be changed with this update and you would be right you know it's just kind of the same with beta 4 there's really not much that's changed on the outside pretty much everything that's can be changed now is just on the back end like bug fixes security enhancements you know fixes to Wi-Fi LTE things like that so it's really not gonna be anything super interesting with this v beta however there is one thing I wanted to cover and that is inside of the wallet application if you have an apple card and use Apple pay to pay for your Apple services so you can see now it actually shows you exactly what you spent that money on whereas before it would just show him out and it would not tell you exactly what you spent for example in this one $9.99 it shows you that that was spent on Daisy disk whereas before it would not say that it would just show the amount and that's it so this is not exclusive to iOS 13.4 it's rolled out to everybody now but it is a nice little change here inside of the wallet application it just recently happened now luckily these settings hang has not returned in the fifth beta when we go to Settings General about when I first installed the update and I went to Settings General about it did hang for a couple seconds and I thought that it came back but once I go in there again and I close out the application and keep trying it it does not happen again so for some reason that did happen in beta 3 and beta 4 fixed it and it looks like it did not come back here in beta 5 so I just wanted to touch on that because I did at first think that it came back but it did not now another thing that has been fully fixed are the notification so notification so the overlapping of notifications has been fully solved now I've not seen anybody with these issues me personally had not had these issues at all in my notification center or lock screen so if you were having overlapping of notifications and you haven't installed a new beta in awhile just know that it has been fixed fully I've had a few people ask me about car key lately and asked me if there's been anything new found with car key and I could say no nothing's been found and either the fourth or the fifth betas as far as car key but I'm assuming we're gonna know a lot more about this feature once the final version of 13.4 gets released now this should be included in iOS thirteen point four I believe this is a thirteen point four feature however it could be pushed back to iOS 14 it kind of just depends on Apple and how far along it's coming but with the outbreak going on I just don't know what could be going on with anything at this point nothing is for sure because of the outbreak going on so car key I would expect to see at least something more on it when the final version up thirteen point four gets released but as far as anything new with it and the code or anything like that nothing here in beta five and it was the same in beta 4 as far as bugs go Seth left a comment on my beta 4 video saying this he said beta 3 definitely affected my connectivity horribly like every two minutes I would lose signal completely even though I had full bars but so far so good bethe for so that's not the first person I've seen mention that beta for fixed their connectivity issues and it's really strange because they had the same modem firmware version as beta 3 beta 3 and beta 4 had the exact same modem firmware version and it's the same version here as beta 5 it's the one point zero five point two eight so for some reason there are some issues being fixed when it comes to connectivity both LTE and Wi-Fi and as you can see a lot of people thumbs-up that comment so a lot of people are also having that same issue fixed so hopefully beta five continues to fix it for other people that were having that issue and it should be as we are getting closer to a final release now Nathan also left a comment saying notifications being delayed happens to me it's usually only Twitter and the notifications come 30 minutes to two hours after when I should have gotten them so if you guys remember in my beta 4 video I put a comment up on the screen basically saying how notifications delayed I was wondering like what that was because I never had that but people love comments telling me that it was basically exactly what it sounds like notifications being delayed like they're getting delayed when they should be coming in so this person is having issues like thirty minutes to two hours after when he should be getting those notifications now I've not had that but a lot of people apparently do have that so let me know if that's been fixed for you in beta 5 I would assume that it has and it could be an issue also with the application itself so not too sure about that one I also got a DM from somebody here on Instagram telling me about an issue with Apple music he says on Apple music my lyrics won't load and I can't play a song unless it's already downloading and it frequently stops playing my songs out of nowhere this has been going on for the last two updates still not fixed so that could be an issue if you have like a speaker like a home pod or something like that maybe you can't play on two devices at once maybe autoplays happens to me sometimes but I'm not sure why you know it doesn't play unless it's already downloading or download or that's really strange and lets you just have bad signal or something like that but you guys are having issues with Apple music or the lyrics or anything like that let me know down in the comment below everything's been fine for me and I used the music application and Apple music every single day pretty much all throughout the day so no issues on my end and speaking of Instagram I have had people ask me about the bug the audio bug if it still persists and yes the insta my bug is still here unfortunately if you play a video with audio and you go back to the home screen or you go into another application quickly sometimes it will just continue playing the audio from that Instagram video even if you metered it before you went out of the application and it is super super annoying I've had this issue going on for a long time now months now and Apple has still not fixed it we've had numerous updates to the Instagram app itself and those never fixed it so that leads me to believe it's not an issue with Instagram it's actually an issue with iOS because it does not happen to me on Android I tried it on Android on the new s20 ultra and it does not happen at all and of course I'm still having the issues with text message notifications so basically when I locked my screen and I get a text message I won't get any kind of indication that I just got a text message or iMessage I will not get a screen light up I will not get a notification I will not get a vibration a sound anything I have to tap my screen and then I see that I got a text message like 30 minutes ago and then all of a sudden I'm late to respond because I never got notified that I got the notification in the first place so super annoying Apple is still not fixed this is another thing that's been going on for a while now it does not have anything to do with the Apple watch my Apple watch is not even on when this happens so really not sure what's going on but I'm not the only one facing that and it's really really annoying I really hope Apple fixes that very very soon now I cannot mention the word bugs without mentioning the word mail application so the mail application has been easily the most buggy on iOS 13 but obviously with 13.4 they did do a lot of improvements Apple improved the mail application a lot fixed a lot of the bugs and as these betas have gone on really since beta 3 I've not really seen any comments about the mail application I shouldn't say any but just not very many at all and definitely not any better like thumb stuff by a lot of people not a lot of people are having these same issues with mail on these late 13.4 Vedas which is a really really good sign and it looks like we are finally at the end of the lifecycle of iOS 13 getting a fix for the mail application and when it comes to the performance and battery life performance a battery life is gonna be about the same as on beta 4 I've not noticed any difference so far Geekbench scores are a little bit lower here on beta 5 than they were on beta 4 but of course you guys know that Geekbench scores don't usually translate over to real if you're not really gonna notice a difference if anything that's probably even faster because I probably will patch up some bugs now one thing I did also want to talk about is battery health so a lot of people are still under the impression that when you update that impacts your maximum battery capacity so some people think that it's like a bug or that you know updating causes your battery capacity to go down and that is just not the case so all it does is basically just recalibrate your device and gets a better reading every time you update of the actual battery percentage to your maximum capacity percentage so updating itself will never decrease your maximum capacity it's just going to rerun the test to determine the actual percentage of your battery health so a lot of people still seem to be confused by that so I just wanted to clear that up but once again performance is gonna be about the same as it was on beta 4 which is about the same as it was on beta 3 really nothing changed in terms of performance just a lot of back end bug fixes and things like that they're gonna make it feel a little bit faster from in terms of just raw performance and roll speed you're not gonna see a big difference here in beta 5 at all so now let's talk about the final release of iOS 13.4 and when we can expect that as well as a potential March event and iOS 14 so first of all we are on the 10th right here that's when we got the 5th beta so theoretically we could see the final build as early as next week so we could see iOS 13 point for the final public release released to everybody next week on the week of the 16th possibly on the 17th or the 18th maybe even the 19th on a Thursday they have released final releases on Thursday before but there's also a good chance that we wait until the following week maybe we get a beta 6 and then we get the final on the week of the 23rd so previously we thought that we would see iOS 13 point for final released during the Apple March event but it's looking like we're not gonna see an actual event in March from Apple at least not one in person with you know people attending and things like that where they would announce 13.4 so my guess is that we could possibly be on the GM build right now so we could possibly see the final as early as next week but I think we are still going to see it on the week of the 23rd but of course anything is possible at this point it's Apple nobody really knows so that is the latest on as far as when we can expect iOS ten point four final and when it comes to iOS 14 we're still expecting that in June we're still expecting the first beta in the first two weeks within the first two weeks of June here and WWDC 2020 is also likely to be canceled as far as the physical event where people attend it could be held online we may see a live streamed event from Apple you know introducing iOS 14 and all the features and things like that but we could expect the first beta of iOS 14 within the first couple of weeks of June I have made videos explaining when I think we'll see the iOS 14 beta so if you want to check that out I will leave links to my iOS 14 videos down in the description so yeah guys that's pretty much it for iOS 13.4 beta 5 not a ton going on really nothing changed at all just some you know server-side fixes like in the wallet application and things like that and just a lot more refinements to issues that people were facing in the past and I really just wanted to talk about some of the bugs you guys were having in beta 4 as well just to kind of bring light to those issues so Apple can see and of course you guys should always be reporting these issues inside of the feedback application if you are having issues at all so go ahead and install iOS 13 point for beta 5 if you were on beta 4 and let me know how it's been running for you after a few hours if you have any issues if you run into any issues if you notice anything different that I didn't mention in this video leave a comment down below and you could be featured in my next video of course you can reach out on social media as well that's pretty much it for me if you guys did enjoy this video I would appreciate it if you give it a thumbs up and of course subscribe so you don't miss it my iOS 13 final video when it gets released to the public and hopefully we have more information about car key and OS recovery and all those awesome features coming as well but anyways guys thanks again for watching and I'll see you soonwhat's up guys my name is Brandon and about a week after releasing beta for Apple returns today with iOS 13 point for developer beta 5 now we also got beta updates for iPad OS Mac OS and TV OS but once again no watcher west 6.2 beta update just yeah now last week it came a day after the release of the iOS
