iOS 13.5 speed test is conducted on older iPhone models starting from iPhone SE to the iPhone XR. This will give you a pretty good idea if you're resisting to update. With the iPhone XR also part of the bunch, you can also see whether the new software brings any improvements to the table.

On the older iPhone SE, the bootup speed was faster on iOS 13.5. Animations look smooth on the first look and app launch time is comparatively shorter on the latest build. Moreover, apps load faster but not by a huge margin. Overall, you should update to the latest iOS 13.5 for better performance on your iPhone SE as can be seen in the speed test.

On the iPhone 6s, the bootup time was more or less similar but overall fluidity is pretty evident. However, the performance was pretty similar through as we talk about app launch time, transitions, and animations' fluidity. This isn't something that you should be worried about, you should still update to the latest build because you will be getting the latest features as part of the mix as well.

On the iPhone 7, iOS 13.5 boots up less than a second late. The rest of the user experience pertaining to app launch time, transitions, and animations remain fluid much like iPhone 6s. This means that the performance is on par with the older build.

There's no reason not to resist the update as you get new features with the build and you can see that iOS 13.5 is a step in the right direction.

Lastly, iOS 13.5 on the iPhone XR boots up faster on iOS 13.4.1 with a negligible margin. However, the rest of the experience is better on iOS 13.5 as depicted by the speed test. In my view, there were fewer lags, even though the app launch time was the same.
