📱iOS & iPadOS 13 Beta 4 📺 📄
Build - 17A5534f was released on 17 July, 2019 for:
• iPhone XR, XS/Max, X, 8/8+, 7/7+, SE, 6s/6s+
• iPad 6G, 5G
• iPad mini 5, 4
• iPad Air 3, 2
• iPad Pro 12.9(3G), 10.5, 9.7, 11, 12.9(2G), 12.9(1G)
• iPod Touch 7G.

New Features & Changes:
• Auto playing videos in Photos.app can be deleted again (without needing to pause first)
• Trends in Activity have an improved layout
• New context menu for rearranging apps. Wiggle mode will no longer be triggered by a longer long press and long press will always trigger context menu
• AirDrop will be set to Contact Only Upon installing this beta instead of “receiving off”
• Apple Watch app displays Siri section regardless of screen time setting. Whether changes can be made or not depends on screen time setting though
• A “Long press” action can now be assigned to a mouse button in the accessibility options. (currently very buggy)

New Issues:
• Download file option missing in Safari
• Apple Music app will act as If attempting to download lyrics from Apple Music if the song has local lyrics embedded. But for songs having no lyrics, the behaviour is the same as beta 1 till 3.
• On iPad, if user disconnects Wifi from settings by turning off Wifi, user may need to turn off and turn on wifi from settings several times to connect to Wifi again, otherwise iPad will report “no internet connection” even though wifi is connected to the internet
• It is now very difficult to invoke spotlight search on iPad within any app, whether on portrait or landscape mode. Pulling down Notification Center and swiping right won’t give spotlight search feature, unlike iPhone. If user has Bluetooth keyboard or Apple Smart Keyboard Folio connected, Command+Space will trigger spotlight search.

Remaining Issues:
• If a playlist in music app uses automatically generated artwork (the artwork formed by four artworks which are extracted from the song in the playlist), that artwork will eventually not match the song, instead from some random songs inside the playlist.

Resolved Issues:
• Groups are back in the phone app
• 3D Touch works on home screen
• All devices support “3D Touch” gesture on home screen (slide to select options in context menu instead of leaving finger off screen first before tapping)
• Search boxes are no longer black
• Notification Center/Control Center now can invoke when using Reachability
• Application that rely on Location data work again
• App Switcher responsiveness has returned to normal
• Open in New Tab has returned in Safari.

iSpeed Test📱
iOS 12.3.1 vs. 12.4 Beta 7
iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7,iPhone 8
🗣 Performance of iOS 12.4 Beta 7 / GM is more or less still the same as that of iOS 12.3.1 when it comes to launching apps, and overall smoothness. However it is slower on all devices when it comes to the Geekbench test, not by much but consistently slower. Antutu HTML5 test however is faster on all devices except for the iPhone 8.
Now only one more test to do when the final drops and with some luck these abnormalities has been fixed.

iOS 12.3.1 vs. iOS 13 Beta 4
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8
🗣 Good news, seems like Apple is trying to fix 3DTouch aka Force Touch, still not there yet, but definitely a step in the right direction.
We are for sure still not seeing any of the performance improvements that was mentioned during the WWDC Keynote. Yes this is still a Beta and no we should not expect any launch speed improvements on non iOS 13 updated 3rd party, but you would think that Apple would let it loose on their own apps right? Does not look like it. We are still seeing on par launch speeds compared to that of iOS 12. 3. 1. I think that is quite disappointing, even for a Beta 2. Fearing that this could be the reality distortion field that strikes again. Lets see for future releases.
