Is anyone testing this update? How does it feel? Better battery life? Worse?
I saw a YouTube video of an iPhone 6S which got much better scores on Geekbench

Put it on my iPad Pro and iPhone 11 Pro, so far speed and battery life feels the same. I honestly don’t see too much difference in regards to performance. Definitely feels like a finished version, if that helps.
Ok, a polished final version then. What I don’t quite understand is why this change on the exposure notification toggle now... You cannot use it if you don’t have a government app, so why release a new version allowing you to toggle the exposure notifications without an app? It doesn’t make any sense, and even less to be this one the only change on 13.7.
...but the person you’re responding to was asking about iOS.
True. I was thinking about the same time the versions went the longest, and confused which one I wrote.
Do you toggle the actual exposure notification system on or just the „ping me when an app is available“ toggle (can‘t test cause there‘s an app in my region)?
If it‘s the former, it absolutely makes sense to have the exposure notification system go live globally even without an app that supports it. The way it used to work is that it‘s only active when you install your regions app. If they change it so you can activate the token exchange system without an app, the reach of the system is far greater because everyone can take part.
The apps are then only used to check your status (verify if your tokens had contact).
But without an app, can you tell the API you’ve tested positive? I thought that without an app, the API and the system was useless...
What does phenomenal mean, in particular in comparison to 13.6/13.6.1?
It‘s still tokens that are exchanged, which is valuable. Just because there is no app yet doesn‘t mean you sit at home. If your phone can already... pre-exchange (?) tokens, it‘s for the greater good because you can infect yourself (or infect others) before your government pushes an app.
Is it me that my iMessage use to be activated with my phone number, now it won’t activate. FaceTime is the same way. When I click on my number, it says error. It’s been over 12 hours waiting!
My battery life is worse with 13.7 compared to 13.6.1. 13.6.1, I was using an iPhone 11 Pro with 93% battery health, now I have a new iPhone 11 Pro, 100% battery health, set up as new and its still draining faster.
Also, is 13.7 Public Release a new build? I'm getting an update running the "beta" build.
Created a new thread since the build number is actually different

It is on the dev portal. Dev portal is getting updates really faster since a beta or two now.
Luckily I was able to download 13.6.1 just few minutes before 13.7 was released. Now I'll perform a clean install of 13.6.1 on my iPhone, which has been flawless on my iPad Pro, and stay there!
Happening to me too. My phone number and iMessage no longer get along. FaceTime also. Talked to Apple and they’re kicking it the engineers.
