Near the middle of December 2019, Apple has released the first beta version of iOS / iPadOS 13.3.1. Theoretically, iOS 13 is compatible with all iPhone devices, from iPhone SE and to iPhone 11, While iPadOS 13.3 it is available from iPad Air 2 up to today's models.
We know from our past experiences that as iOS develops, it becomes an increasingly difficult burden for older devices. iOS 13.3 is no exception, even more than that, if the current version of iOS 13.3.1 were released for all users, it would be a drama for those who have newer devices.
The iOS 13.3.1 Beta 1 version managed to attract a lot of criticism, and those who are already testing it through Apple Beta Software Program, hopes that Apple to get over the fever of the winter holidays faster and to come up with an urgent update that will solve the problems of the latest version Beta 1 of iOS 13.3.1.
The most common problems encountered by iPhone and iPad users with iOS / iPadOS 13.3.1, Are:
- loss of Wi-Fi after a while
- the screen does not rotate when the device is returned from landscape mode to portrait, and vice versa
- the Mail application does not bring the new received messages and does not notify the user if it is not open, although the "Push Notification" functions are set
- sound problems during lot calls on FaceTime
- diPhone does not recognize the dictated text - the problem encountered even on the iPhone 11
- the devices iPhone 8, iPhone 7 and older models have significantly degraded performances. It runs intermittently Safari, Mail, video content and especially in games
- iPad Pro 11 (2018), which is still the top of the range at the moment, has embarrassing performance in games and media content, along with iOS 13.3.1 Beta 1.
- Apple Pencil has moments when it doesn't want to work.
The list could go on with many other issues reported by users. We mention that many of them are also present on iOS 13.3, and from a preview of iOS 13.3.1, the problems seem to deepen instead of being solved.
We hope so Apple to come up with an update as soon as possible, which will solve the amount of bugs and poor performance of iOS / iPadOS, and in 2020 let's have more pleasant surprises from the side Apple, and looks like a company that has stood out through innovation.
I can say I'm a fan Apple, but I must admit that innovation Apple disappeared with Steve Jobs, and apart from high prices, the company did not stand out much.
