iPhone iOS 13 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[PaulKemp]

I took the plunge and updated my Watch series 4 to Developer beta 6 due to the message of not compatible. IPad and phone on the most recent public beta.

Ive used the watch normally, mainly notifications and activity tracking. No drain above normal. The battery was 70% when I went to bed last night, and 59% when I woke up this morning. And I was active during the night due to a baby waking up several times.

Since installing Public Beta 4, my iPhone 7 Plus battery is draining for no reason.
When I check the battery stats there isn't really any particular app showing to be causing this and I have not had this issues on the previous versions of the Public Beta.

Anyone else having this issue?

I think Apple is responsible for a good working dark mode if they want to bring one. Smart invert colours works very well in mail, news and Safari itself, so like a previous poster said, Apple have the technology to do a better system wide dark mode experience.

If Apple don't want to put any effort on it, why they don't allow extensions for iOS ? Dark reader on macOS mojave works very well and I think we give too much importance of how we should respect a webmaster design etc when in the end the most important thing is the user experience and if, for some reason, the user prefer to read on a darker background, then let them do it. Just this forum itself look very good with dark reader and MacRumors didn't have to do anything. Thats my point.

But for the previous post, its another step of absurdity with the dark keyboard not forced system wide by apple on Dark mode. It realy look unbalanced and not polished and like I said earlier in this tread, smart invert actually work better for Apple apps and popular third party apps than this dark mess.

I have to say I 100% agree with this. All the dissenting opinions are weak have very little basis for argument. The Dark Reader extension in particular is really good, I can't think of ANY website I've had an issue with in years and years of using it, and if there was an issue I can simply click it off on a per website basis. Even Windows has its high contrast mode that works well. And of course smart invert works almost perfectly. There is absolutely NO reason to rely on every single web dev to fix every single web page, It just ain't going to happen for most websites. If anything extensions like Dark Reader are superior because they allow you to adjust things like brightness and contrast, I actually find some stuff in iOS13 dark mode a bit too dark and black. In particular I have to say that it's seems the epitome of stupidity to have a dark theme but not darken webpages, although I understand this is not everyone's cup of tea, the solution is to just simply have a toggle to switch this on/off.

I'm really miffed right now as on public beta 4 it seems that smart invert no longer darkens webpages if the dark theme is on. I'm really hoping it's just something that hasn't been fixed yet, as smart invert seems kind of buggy in any regard on the beta.

Dissenting opinions — Doc this is a Macrumors forum, not the Supreme Court.

I think we’ll switch to a 1 week cycle soon. Beta 6 today wouldn’t surprise me.

Does anyone else have WiFi problems? My WiFi is so slow it feels like dialup. The iOS 12 devices are super fast.

Anyone have issues with Adguard pro 2.x (not their newer 3.0) and a very slow internet connection? I stick to Adguard 2.x because it still has the system wide adblocking, I know Apple will eventually catch up but I'd like to use it as long as possible. In particular I'm seeing very slow connection times for apps that use the internet, if I click Adguard Pro off then internet speeds are back to normal. This is with using the VPN, when the connection is very slow I can see the LTE and VPN icons flipping back and forth.
