New build. That would explain why I'm seeing an update. Thank you as always for being on top of it! @Banglazed

On my iPhone, not on the iPad, there was written New Memojis. I can’t see them. It’s not very important but just noticing.

Yeah, i saw the same thing in my iPhone 11 before the update began and this made me confused. I asked myself, how it is possible Apple adds so many new features for iOS 13.7.

Because there were really many new features in the update notes. It was taking 5 seconds when i was scrolling the page down.

Were they maybe iOS 14 features but Apple send these features to some iPhones mistakenly? 🤔

 

[murad_fourth]

And i regret now as i did not take screenshots of the written new features. 😅

Based on some posts about this it seems that the release notes that have been showing up are just those that are for iOS 13 in general, not the particular 13.7 update.

I was thinking the same ;-)

Anyone else with a developer account seeing the posted release as 17H33? OTA updated my iPad Pro and that's 17H35 as expected but all of the IPSW links are for 17H33.

Downloaded and installed for iPhone and iPadPro.....working with both devices and have incurred no negative issues so far.....

 

[Blowback]

Briefly looked into stickers...didn't note anything new. But, just took a glance.

Initially, I saw the same thing and I thought it was the same build until I noticed the signing build is actually 17H35.

 

[Hans300]

So what are all the changes in this update?

But its nice to see that they polish iOS 13

haha.. Apple really didn't say anything on the developer channel.

Yeah, I did a full restore via restore mode on a test device and let it pull down a fresh IPSW from Apple and it brought down the correct version. Oh well, carry on

My iPad Pro 10.5 got a whole lot faster. Don’t know if it’s animation speed or performance all around, but it feels very different - much better.

iOS 13.7 disabled read receipts on my iPad Pro. My boyfriend was like, “I’m not getting read receipts for your messages for the last couple of hours.” I checked individual message threads and it was disabled for all of them. Then I went to Messages settings and saw read receipts were disabled for all. Such a weird, random bug.

 

[Isamilis]

Feels same as 13.6.1. Ipad air 3 wifi. No bugs, all run normally.

 

[iPhonNick]

My 2016 iPhone SE and my iPhone XS feels a whole lot faster. It's not just the animations, but overall performance is much better. Apps are launching faster.
Battery is the same for both on my devices.

 

[JetBlack7]

Strange. My home WiFi, never had trouble with drops. Did a clean install and now I'm always getting connection drops.

 

[imlynxy]

Siri shows full screen car when I’m connected to car bluetooth and not driving with “do not disturb while driving” off. Very annoying bug.

 

[Blowback]

Only difference I've noticed is to the slide over to the widgets screen: seems faster/already populated on my phone (11pro)...seems to be the same on my iPad Pro .

Wow, same here.

I bet this bug is going to cause a lot of random drama in relationships.

"Why'd you turn them off?" "I didn't." "Yes you did." "Look it's.. oh, it turned itself off." "Sure it did. You just want to be able to ghost me." "No I don't!" etc.

iPhone XR 98% battery life. This release is awesome! Battery life thus far has been great I am normally around 50-60% this time of day currently sitting at 75%. Everything seems faster but that could also be placebo effect as well.

I also haven’t been experiencing springboard crashes that I did with 13.6 and 13.6.1 mainly when opening camera and taking a picture. I am satisfied with this release.
