We jumped from 13.5.1 to 13.5.5 ... I wonder if Apple reserved three more version numbers for bug releases before 13.5.5 is ready. :rolleyes:
We were wondering the same when 13.4.5 beta came out but it turned out completely different at the end. 😂

I wonder how high iOS 13 will reach before iOS 14 drops. 13.6.1 is my bet.

There’s a tech YouTuber who tried this beta and said he felt the iPhone faster, however I felt, from what I saw, that the iPhone was moving at less than 30 frames per second. Maybe it was just the camera, but if any of you is trying this beta, does it feel faster or not?
On my Xs max, it doesn’t feel slower than 13.5 Gm. So far no problems from what my usage was since the install.
