All Devices iOS 13 Speculation Thread [Merged]

Release notes:


iOS 13.5 speeds up access to the passcode field on devices with Face ID when you are wearing a face mask and introduces the Exposure Notification API to support COVID-19 contact tracing apps from public health authorities. This update also introduces an option to control automatic prominence of video tiles on Group FaceTime calls and includes bug fixes and other improvements.

Face ID and Passcode

  • Simplified unlock process for devices with Face ID when you are wearing a face mask
  • Passcode field automatically presented after swiping up from the bottom of the Lock screen when you are wearing a face mask
  • Also works when authenticating with the App Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iTunes, and other apps that support signing in with Face ID
Exposure Notification

  • Exposure Notification API to support COVID-19 contact tracing apps from public health authorities
FaceTime

  • Option to control automatic prominence on Group FaceTime calls so video tiles do not change size when a participant speaks
Emergency Services

  • Option to automatically share health and other essential information from your Medical ID with emergency services when you place an emergency call (US only)
This update also includes bug fixes and other improvements.

  • Fixes an issue where users may see a black screen when trying to play streaming video from some websites
  • Addresses an issue in the share sheet where suggestions and actions may not load

Why they don’t mention the message and mail issues? Or am I reading it wrong?

"There are no GM candidates for x.x.x releases. Either another beta or final"

Remember reading this recently here...

If it's "released to developers", what do you think?

Chill out princess! I was just confirming.

It was released last Friday as Beta 5, but it's the same build for final now (no GM for it was released today).

Looks like final for watchOS has been released today. I also got 6.2.5 update for my watch and I don’t have any watchOS beta profile installed

You are right! 😂 Working from home must be making it really hard for the different release managers to stay on the page
 
I doubt 13.5 will be public tomorrow, they normally release GM a few days apart, seeing how watchOS has just released to public and it went gm a few days ago?
 
Interesting - 9to5Mac is quoting a Twitter user that says iOS 13.5 will drop on Wednesday (May 20) instead

GM stands for Gold Master. It's the finalized firmware before public release. So the public release for iOS 13.5 is tomorrow.

The 13.4 GM released a week prior to 13.4 public release. I'll be surprised if 13.5 arrives tomorrow.
 
He is most likely referring to this: Fixed in 13.4.5/13.5 betas

I have nothing in my iPhone 11. Is it public release or an update for only developers?

After reading this forum I went and had a look on my XS and it had practically finished downloading ! It is now preparing for update . I have never been on any beta of any sort..not courageous enough ;-)

Just to make things clear , I am talking about my  Watch update .
