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.

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.
