Things to Know About the iOS 13.7 Update
Apple’s rushed out its new iOS 13.7 update for iPhone and it brings a fairly short list of changes to compatible devices.
Last week Apple pushed the iOS 13.7 update into beta testing. Typically, iOS updates stay in beta testing for several weeks before they are released to the public. iOS 13.7 isn’t your typical milestone release.
There were signs that Apple would get iOS 13.7 out to the public much faster than usual and those suspicions were confirmed today with an official release.
iOS 13.7 might be a milestone release (x.x), but it’s actually pretty small. That being said, it brings new features and under-the-hood improvements to the iPhone.
The update is compatible with Apple’s iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the iPhone SE 2.
With all that out of the way, we want to take you through everything there is to know about Apple’s latest update for the iPhone and iOS 13. With the iOS 14 update getting closer, iOS 13.7 will likely be one of the last upgrades for iOS 13.
In this guide to iOS 13.7 we’ll take you through the update’s performance, the current list of iOS 13.7 problems, the best places to find feedback about bugs and performance issues, the iOS 13.7 jailbreak status, and more.
We’ll start with our impressions of the iOS 13.7 update’s performance on the iPhone.
iOS 13.7 Reviews
If your iPhone is currently running iOS 13.6.1, you’ll encounter a fairly small download.
For iOS 13.6.1 users, the iOS 13.7 update will require a 100+ MB download. The exact download size will vary based on your device and the version of iOS 13 your device is running.
If your iPhone is running an older version of iOS 13 you’ll likely see a larger download size because your iOS 13.7 update includes the changes from any iOS updates you skipped.
If your phone is on iOS 13.6.1, the iOS 13.7 installation will probably take less than 10 minutes to complete. It took about seven minutes to install on the iPhone X.
We’ve been using the iOS 13.7 update for a short time and here’s what we’ve learned about its performance thus far:
Connectivity
- Battery life is currently stable.
- Wi-Fi connectivity is fast and reliable.
- Bluetooth is working normally.
