Apple iOS 13 Announced – Everything To Know

Apple iOS 13 for iPhones and iPads is now official and it is all your dreams come true.

After the success of iOS 12.3.1, Apple announced the launch of the most awaited iOS 13 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on 3rd June. The newest iOS version will have the much awaited Dark Mode, redesigned Reminders and Messages apps and some general performance improvements. Here are some features to which you can look forward in iOS 13:

1) Dark Mode

iPhone has a beautiful new look with Dark Mode, a new dark colour scheme which works system wide.  This feature can be accessed from the control center and when enabled, the background of the phone will turn black for a better viewing experience.  At the WWDC, Apple showed how the Dark Mode will work for apps like Photos, Notes and Apple Music.

2) Revamped Photos

Apple has made browsing through Photos easier.  The entire library will be curated in a way to highlight only the best pictures.  It is redesigned to showcase important events in the past month or week or day. According to Apple, photos and videos will be intelligently organised to let us relive our best moments.

3) Photo editing made easy

Apple has also made editing photos simpler with new tools which are easy to apply.  Portrait lighting adjustments can now be made in the Camera app.  With iOS 13, most of the photo editing tools are now available for videos as well, which will enable us to crop, rotate or apply filters to videos.

3) Easy sign in with Apple ID

Apple is now introducing a new way of signing into apps and websites.  Instead of filling out lengthy forms, Apple users can now use their Apple ID to authenticate and Apple vouches to protect their privacy with a unique random pin.  With this feature, users can also authenticate using Face ID or Touch ID for an added layer of security.

4) Redesigned Health App

The Health app has also been redesigned in the upcoming iOS 13.  The homepage will feature data about the user’s daily activities.  Another highlight is the Hearing Health feature which will help the user understand how loud they play music through headphones.  The Health app can now track menstrual cycle as well.

5) Messages

With iOS 13, messages can automatically share a user’s name and photo or a custom made animoji or memoji to easily identify the person in the message thread.

6) All new Maps

Apple Maps has also been redesigned with a feature which allows users to set locations they frequently visit as Home, Work, etc., and quickly navigate through them.  Common places visited by a user can all be grouped.

7) New look for Reminders

The Reminders app also will now have a new look and Apple makes it easy to create and set reminders.  There will also be more innovative ways to keep track of the reminders. It is also possible to tag someone in a reminder as Reminders will be deeply integrated with Messages. The reminder will pop up every time you message the person.

Apple is also planning to make certain changes to Siri, HomePod, Notes and CarPlay.  Along with this, Apple is also working on some general performance improvements. Apple also announced, the operating system for iPads will now be called iPad OS.

It will be interesting to see how all these features will improve the overall performance of the phone and whether they will be worth the upgrade.
