Apple is only a few weeks away from launching its flagship smartphone, the iPhone 11, but before that, the company has got a surprise for its users. People are aware that the company is working on its next iOS version, i.e. iOS 13, and that like usual time, the company will launch after the release of its new iPhone. But this time, Apple has gone for something unusual. The company has just announced the release of the first developer beta of iOS and iPadOS 13.1 before the launch of the iOS 13.
Yes, the company has released the iOS 13.1 beta version for testing ahead of the release of iOS 13, which is quite unlike Apple. Usually, the company releases the major updates in the iOS, and only after that, go for the release of .1 version of the software.
The release of the beta of iOS 13.1 indicates that the iOS 13 is almost ready, and is starting to work on the next version of the OS. When a company releases the developers beta, it is for the developers to test the features and find the bugs. This way, the company can improve the product before the release.
So, similarly, with the .1 version, the company is trying to test some of its features, that it will be incorporating in the next version of iOS 13. The newly released beta version of the Apple OS, along with new features, has also got some of the bug fixes. One of the new features that the company has set for the test with the release of the beta is the audio sharing support.
The feature will allow the Apple device to simultaneously connect to two different pairs of Airpods through Bluetooth. But there is still a question that will the iPhone, and the other apple device support connecting to two pair of Airpods?
The other feature that the company has introduced with the new OS beta is the video editing feature, that will allow the users to make the background of a video transparent or invisible. It will help produce the green screen effect on the videos. Apple has developed the feature with the help of recently acquired company Spektral.
Along with the iPhone, the company has also released the new beta versions for watchOS 6.0 and tvOS 13.0 today. The users can go to the software updates option on the iPhones to get the developer beta installed on their devices from today onwards. There is no statement from the company that when the beta of iOS 13.1 will be available for the general public.
