Not seeing this at all... synching just fine between MacBook, iPad and iPhone. Lags just a minute or two behind which is normal. Need it faster, use Handoff

In my case the syncing of safari history items happens only once after I log off from iCloud and again login. No later website entries on any one iOS device sync to other iOS devices and vice versa. iCloud Tab syncing however happens without problem.
reported it. The response is “Less than 10” similar reports.

Is there any hope that the rogue Airplay devices inside the speaker button choices are fixed? I still do not understand why this issue persists. Apple TV's can't even handle a phone call, the fact that it shows up is infuriating this many months into ios 13

I fully agree that this bug is crazy and never fixed. I hope it will be soon
 
Two notes on my iPhone Pro 11 Max.

The phone is asking for the passcode much more often than the prior beta or 13.4/13.4.1.

Overnight battery drain reported higher than last beta or 13.x, but I'm not sure it isn't simply a function of "learning" the battery. Restarting the phone caused the reported charge % to jump way up, which says to me that it's just the software reading, not actual battery drain.

Just wondering if anyone else who has a HomePod on the latest public software is having problems recognising any contact from any email address. So for example I say “hey Siri send a message to joe bloggs” and it always comes back with “I don’t see joe bloggs in your contacts, who do you want to send it to?”

This happens no matter if the contact is in iCloud or on an exchange account. I’ve restarted both devices. This also happens if I try and instigate a phone call on the HomePod.
 
Opening Safari, tapping on the first bookmark, opens WhatsApp because the icon on the home screen is at the same position like the bookmark in Safari.

Opening Twitter or Tweetbot, swiping down for reload. Switching to the home screen and it shows the opened spotlight search.

It’s the same issue but don’t know how else to report to Apple. It’s still under „No similar reports“ since a month.
 
iPhone 11 Pro Max - 13.5 PB3
First impression:
- fluid but definitely slower than PB2. Feels like the animations are in slow motion (mud)
- still seeing the same issues in Messages and Mail
- too soon to tell about battery life
- Airpods Pro with update: sound is louder for the same volume setting. Sound is "scratchy" for heavier bass tunes (ACDC), muffled for others (Johnny Lang), and flat for some (Panic! at the Disco)
- Apple Watch 5 (Nike GPS): Getting app notification issues.
-- Phone ringing cutting in and out during incoming call
-- Siri randomly announcing "I can not interpret this ..."

Confirming that I'm getting unusually frequent demands to unlock with my passcode, rather than unlocking with Face ID. No masks or anything like that involved.

Safari still is a train wreck - freezes quite often

Safari is odd during video playback. I'll be watching a video on YouTube or something and it'll stop, the volume bar goes up and down for about 10 seconds...then resume playback normally.

Anyone please?

Edit: I have already removed and re-added iCloud contacts, and removed and re-added the HomePod to the network.

On my IPP 11 I have 13.4.1
On my Pro Max (PM) I have 13.5 PB3
Airpods Pro (AP) have the latest updates installed and all settings are default.

When I play the same songs via my AP there is a noticeable difference in sound quality.
On the IPP the AP sound is pretty close to that from my B&O H5 headphones.
On the PM the sounds are noticiably inferior to both with one exception: reverb/echo. This is much clearer on the PM/AP. I would say too clear.

Note: The PM and IPP were pretty much the same in sound quality via AP when both were on 13.4.1.

This difference is irrespective of the app. I have tried Music, YouTube Music, and Play Music.
Reported via Feedback.
 
Safari *still* stops rotating, usually every few hours and at least once per day, forcing the app to be closed before it will work in landscape again.

This has occurred on every single version of iOS 13 so far; on a restore from my previous multi-year backup, setting up as a new phone, with and without content blockers enabled and on iPhone XS, iPhone 11 and now iPhone 11 Pro. I know closing an app takes seconds, but it shouldn’t happen at all and is just irritating.

After 24 hours:

* I think standby battery drain is noticeably higher than 13.4.1
* FaceID goes to passcode >50% of unlocks, which is massively more often that 13.4.1.

Out of curiosity, if you are wearing a mask, how much of that >50% is occurring while wearing a mask? If I recall correctly, this is actually a feature of this iOS release. I'm not running the beta, so I have no experiences with it to tell a difference.

If it's happening that often when you AREN'T wearing a mask, well then there's an issue for sure!

Sorry, should have been clear. This is all without any mask at all. Yes, that would be an issue, but it's not what's going on here. :puzzled:

My request for Passcode is not at 50% rther it is coming up in weird sequences.
Last 10 unlocks (F=FaceID P=Passcode) done over the space of 30 minutes - no mask
F F F P P P F F F F

Note: these were all manual locking of the device (PM)
