iOS 12.4 vs. iOS 13 Beta 6.
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
🗣 Still not much improvement to see. 3Dtouch does seem to have improved and performing equal to that of 12. 4. Other than that there does not seem to be much change vs Beta 5. 13 Beta 6 does seem very solid now. But if you like something a lost bug free, you should stay on the latest 12. 4. There are still many betas to go, so we can still improvement, especially 2x app speed loading which is still missing in action.

🗣 Still not much improvement to see to be honest. Benchmarks are in the almost equal ballpark, except for html5 which is as always faster on iOS 13. Twitter seems to be joined by the YouTube app showing small signs in launching faster on iOS 13. With that said iOS 13 is very smooth on these older devices, so looks very good still for the final release.

iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
🗣 Well we are now seeing some of the results of the way new apps are built and packed in the Appstore in iOS 13. 1. If you look how apps like Snapchat, Twitter, Youtube, Apollo and Subway surfers now launch, it is clear that they are faster on iOS 13.1 I doubt it is 2x faster launch speed, but hey lets embrace any move in the right direction. Looking good for iOS 13.1, and hopefully also iOS 13 when it is launched.
