All Devices iOS 13.4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

When the did the add to CarPlay after iOS12 was released, it happened in a week (Waze was just a little slower).
This seems like a very minor update for them.
I would expect both Google and Waze to update by the end of next week.
13.4 battery performance is worrisome to say the least. Apple should not have pushed such a update that would worsen battery life in a time like this.

iPhone 11 and Series 5, battery life both worsened. Well, when you thought iOS 13 couldn’t get any worse.

I've seen no difference in battery life with an 11 Pro, iPad Pro 10.5, or iPad Pro 9.7.
Yes. Open in New Tab was at the top. It now is “Open in Background” and has been moved to the number two slot.
Annoying.

I’m going to give it a few days.
I have not noticed a real difference on my Pro Max however my IPP 11 is burning through battery noticeably quicker.
I’ve never had such a bad battery life since the iPhone 5.
Can someone reproduce this? Close settings app in the app switcher. Enable Dark Mode, 3D Touch on the settings app and chose Bluetooth. The settings app is always crashing.
I don't have battery issues on my 11 Pro either. Actually, 13.4 is giving me the best battery performance in a while.
Battery life on 11" IPP has been a bit meh. Was off charger for 10 hours with medium use and it was down to 24%. iPhone 11Pro, on the other hand, much better: off charger for same amount of time, long phone calls and medium usage and still at 75%
I updated via IPSW instead of OTA. Not sure if that matters but seems strange to have such a different experience.
Updated over the air from the last developer beta on an iPhone 11 and on an iPad Mini 5; overall, battery life and performance have been pretty excellent on both devices post-installation. Keep in mind: Reduced Motion/Reduced Transparency are enabled and Siri is all but disabled through Screen Time, which of course is also disabled 
P.S.: If any of you is curious or wants to know more, I also disable all options under Privacy > Analytics & Improvements, as well as enable ad-tracking limitations under Advertising; additionally, I use a content blocker—AdGuard Pro to be exact—in Safari. On both devices I have True Tone, Auto-Brightness, as well as timed/automatic Night Shift and “dark mode” enabled.
On the iPhone 11 I have found a happy-ish medium of security and battery life by enabling Face ID with Attention-Aware features disabled (I know, risky from a security standpoint. Eek). On the iPad I just use Touch ID normally.
On both devices Fitness Tracking is disabled under Privacy > Motion & Fitness and generally I run a rather tight ship when it comes to granting location access/permissions to Apple and to third parties (e.g. I don’t believe any app is allowed to “Always” access my device’s location). Here’s a glimpse into my iPhone’s Location > System Services settings:
Keep in mind all settings under “Product Improvement” on this page are also disabled.
One final tidbit:
Due to health, privacy, and battery efficiency reasons I use my cellular-capable device(s) (in this case my phone) with wifi/Wi-Fi Calling enabled—as needed—and with cellular and bluetooth enabled/disabled as needed, but preferably off. Although this may not sound suitable for/suited to everyone’s needs or lifestyle, I’ve found that it’s worth some experimentation to try and limit one’s exposure to potentially-harmful electromagnetic radiation. And if one doesn’t care, doesn’t find it feasible or worthwhile or just isn’t interested in this practice or science then so be it; to each their own. Either way, one thing is certain: Disabling radios when unneeded/not in use is easier on a device’s battery.

so you guys are missing 13.3.x ?
--
at least you can still restore to 13.3.1 as of now, assuming you have an iCloud backup dated from 13.3.1 that is good enough for you. 13.4 backup likely wont work with 13.3.1 I would imagine, the usual non-reversible backup strategy

I haven't read the whole thread, but the latest update seems to have the last 'lock screen' in incident of 'music' that is stuck on the 'lock screen'. Odd that it's from before the update. Weird...
Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone out there have this problem since a long time now? For some reasons the facebook website via Safari have an issue if I using the apple keyboard or a bluetooth keyboard. The space bar seems to always double space between words making it impossible to tap on the facebook webpage. In iPhone its not a very big deal because I use the app, but in my iPad pro, I prefer to use Safari and can't use the facebook website because of this.
I haven't tried tapping the play icon, but it looks like it's a static image. *shrug*
EDIT: OMG, and it literally disappeared just minutes ago! Freaky... Bizarre...

Maybe they fixed it? I always hated the swoosh when I was in DND because it would startle the dog, or, Ford forbid, wake the wife. *shrug*
Oh man, battery life is WAY worse. I’ve been on this build since beta6/GM and it seems like it’s getting worse every day. I’ve got a S4 Apple Watch and that’s the worst I’ve seen it in a long time. My iPhone 11 PM seems to be going from 100% to 45%-55% overnight, just sitting on my table next to my bed. I even force quit all apps before I fell asleep woke up at 55%, down from 100%, and the only app showing in settings/battery is the music app on my Lock Screen. Not sure how that could be considering I force quit the Music app.
And I usually only have to charge my watch once a day, usually when I jump in the shower. Then it’s charged when I get out and can even wear it to bed and still use it up until I’d charge it again. I woke up to my watch being at 30% when it would normally be around 60% or so. This is terrible.
BUT! Everything else seems to be working fine for me right now. Just bad battery life.

Have to agree. I am missing many sounds on my Pro Max. If not for the alert on my AW I would not know. This is nuts.
Messages may/may not sound.
Phone may / may not ring.
Sound alerts for Gmail have stopped working.
WTH?
Add another - I have my Pro Max set to Tru Tone, Light, Automatic off. Yet the screen will radically dim based on background lighting. Really noticed yesterday afternoon laying on couch (yes - potatoing) reading GNews via Safari.
Going to do an IPSW restore today and see if this helps anything. Have not had these issues on my IPP 11.
