Privacy and security :

Apple keeps talking about privacy and security, and it’s not hard to see why. The web has become a platform for huge companies to track you, gather data on you and use it to fuel advertisements, recommendation engines and more.

Along with allowing apps to access your location only while you’re using them, users can now force an app to ask for location permission whenever they open it. Plus, Apple is cracking down on apps that work around location permission by using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to triangulate your position.

Dark Mode:

As expected, the iOS 13 reveal brought with it an announcement for the software’s dark mode. Speculation around the feature began when Apple brought a dark theme to macOS with Mojave in 2018. However, it’s finally here for iOS, and it looks great. Based on the previews shown off on stage at WWDC, dark mode will encompass most of Apple’s apps, like Messages, Reminders and Photos. Beyond turning the white space in apps dark, iOS 13’s dark mode also affects the ‘frosted glass’ elements, like notifications, turning them into a transparent grey instead of white. Finally, users can turn it on and off through Control Centre, or schedule dark mode to turn on at specific times.

Improvements to Photos and Maps:

iOS 13 also brings significant changes to both the Photos and Maps apps. To start, Photos is getting a swath of new machine learning features to help organize pictures and highlight important events. Photos will also automatically remove clutter from your Photo library. There are also new time-based features, where Photos will automatically organize images to highlight special events based on days, months and years.

Better voice control:

Not to be outdone by Google, Apple announced Voice Control for iOS 13. The new voice experience allows users to control their iPhones entirely with their voice. Voice Control relies on the latest Siri speech recognition technology. Voice Control makes it easier than ever to interact with your iPhone, but it doesn’t stop there. The new feature is also on Mac and iPad, so users can interact will all their Apple devices with just their voice.

Performance:

All these new iOS features are great, but if your iPhone is slow, what’s the point? Thankfully, Apple kept performance in front of mind when working on iOS 13, and made some tweaks to speed things up. For example, Apple introduced a new way to package iOS apps on the App Store, reducing download sizes by 50 percent and shrinking app updates by 60 percent. Further, the changes to how iOS packages apps mean apps should launch up to twice as fast on iOS 13 — great news for anyone with an older iPhone. Apple also improved the speed of its Face ID system, so users with an X series iPhone will be able to unlock their device 30 percent faster.
