Apple presents the new iOS 13: Comes the Dark Mode and so much speed
Tim Cook presents the new operating system for iPhones. A system that takes the best of iOS 12 and takes it to an even higher level.
Apple officially presents the new iOS 13 that will arrive on iPhones during the autumn next to coincide with the new phones that the company will presumably present in September. First of all, there has been talk of some statistics of iOS 12 which has reached an adoption rate of 85% to date.
It has been installed on more systems than any other version of iOS, and of course it is also in a clear advantage compared to the adoption rate of Android 9 which reaches a paltry 10%. iOS 13 is a fundamental version, says Tim Cook, with a focus on performance.
iOS 13: What changes compared to before
First of all, iOS 13 will allow you to unlock 30 percent faster with Face ID than before. Apple is also changing the way apps are packaged in the App Store. Downloads are 50% smaller and updates are 60% less heavy. Even up to 2 times the app launch speed in iOS 13 compared to before.
The main novelty of iOS 13 is the long-awaited ” Dark Mode “ that is the Dark Theme that Apple, after the multiple requests of the users, has landed on the new operating system for the iPhone. The backgrounds change when you access the dark mode, a bit like it already happens on macOS. Interesting how Apple has rewritten the code by bringing the dark theme novelties to make them their best.
iOS 13 also introduces an important novelty for the keyboard that now allows to have the ” swipe “ that is the scrolling on the keys individually allowing to write more quickly sliding the finger on the keyboard. A lack this too, strongly requested by users, and that finally arrives on iOS 13.
Lots of news for the Dark Mode that is now also managed in the completely dark Mail application. Note also has a completely dark appearance and changes the view of the gallery as well as support for shared folders. Reminders was renewed to be more ” intuitive and powerful “. You can tag people in reminders and integrate them with Messages this will allow you to see a reminder while others are writing.
News also for Apple Maps. With the next update of the apple operating system, it will be possible to use a more accurate and precise map, but also new features within the dedicated app. For example: it will be possible to select places divided by type or create collections of useful places, for example: when visiting a new city. The new version of Maps also introduces ” Look Around “, a function to observe the streets in a 360-degree view, a bit like it has been using Google Maps Street View for some time.
News also relates to localization and privacy. In iOS 13 it will be possible to allow an app to access the location only once, for example. Or you can, for example: receive alerts for tracking in the background. Apple also claims to have extended the protection with regard to WiFi as well as Bluetooth.
Interesting then the announcement of the ” Sign in with Apple ” button that allows users access functionality with the Apple ID just as happens with Twitter, Facebook and Google. In this case, of course, the Cupertino company states how its method of access will allow for greater security, and above all greater operating speed compared to the others.
What is different compared to the rest of the opponents is the fact that the Cupertino company will not provide the developers with any personal data and if we want, not even our email: through this system it will be possible to hide your personal email in favor of an address automatically generated by Apple that will act as an intermediary between the app and you.
News about new Memojis also arrive. Users can customize their virtual ” puppets ” with iOS 13 in particular. There will be lipsticks, new tricks, but also piercings and new types of teeth. iOS 13 also brings with it new accessories and the possibility of customizing the smilies creating everything and more, as well as the AirPods you can wear for your Memoji.
iOS 13 is also camera. Here the developers propose to users new features concerning the ” Portrait ” or the Portrait mode. Present the vertical lighting that simulates the nearest moving lights more distant from a subject just like in a professional studio.
What is most striking are the new features for video editing. New tools that will allow you to rotate a video if it is ” wrong “. You will also be able to apply filters or other effects, customizing the best of your own.
News also for the Photos application that with iOS 13 will allow to have a new type of organization of the photographs. It will be possible to select photos by dividing them by years, months and days, so that you can easily locate the photos you are looking for.
This function will also be contextualised: on stage, for example, Apple has shown how the display divided by year shows the images of the WWDC in the foreground in the foreground. Photos become as dynamic as possible and this means having the ” contextualised ” photos always at hand, that is with artificial intelligence capable of letting users use them in the best possible way.
But that’s not all because iOS 13 also covers AirPods and Siri. With iOS 13, the virtual assistant will be able to read incoming messages through AirPods. He will do it automatically, and it will be possible to reply simply by dictating the answer. Very useful when you are working or even performing physical activities.
New Dashboard also for CarPlay with space for music controls, upcoming calendar events but also a redesigned music app. Siri now also works with third-party apps like Pandora and Waze.
Last but not least: the Neural Text To Speech. The technology that will allow Siri to have a more natural voice than in the past. This is because, in contrast to iOS 12, the new Siri voice is totally created by software and is not generated by small pieces of human voice stitched together. A novelty that will surely please users who do not like listening to Siri’s robotic voice to this day.
