iOS 12.4 vs. iOS 13 Beta 8.
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
πŸ—£ 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.

iOS 12.4.1 vs. iOS 13.1 Beta 2.
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
πŸ—£ 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.

iOS 12.4.1 vs. iOS 13.1 Beta 3.
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
πŸ—£ Looks to me like iOS 13.1 Beta 3 has lost a bit of its momentum, Beta 2 showed great signs, and many of the 3rd party apps did launch much faster than I have seen before. They still launch a bit faster, but not as fast as on Beta 2.
Hopefully this will be back on track for Beta 4, as it so far looked very promising. That said, iOS 13.1 stills seems more smooth than iOS 13 GM, and it will for sure be the version that I will be using on my daily device.
Looking forward to the final release.
