As announced last week, Apple has released the new iOS 13 for all iPhone users. The iPhone operating system brings many new features and boasts a significant increase in performance. These are the most important features in iOS 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n

iOS 13 will bring fundamental performance and system improvements. Face ID is expected to work around 30 percent faster. Apps will load twice as fast and use a full 50 percent less memory. Future app updates will be around 60 percent smaller under iOS 13. Note: Before updating, it is essential to update the backup \u2013 that's how it works<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

iOS 13 Dark Mode<\/h3>\n

The dark mode in iOS 13 is a feature that many fans have been waiting for a long time. If the user activates it, the dark mode is adopted system-wide. This means that apps such as notes, Apple Music, messages, photos and much more also appear in dark mode. The function can also have a positive effect on the battery life of an iPhone with an OLED display, because a black pixel hardly consumes any power compared to an actively used pixel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The appearance of iOS is dynamic. The iPhone can activate dark mode at sunset and switch to light mode at sunrise. Alternatively, users can also set their own schedule. The configuration for this is very simple. First, open the iOS settings and then navigate to the menu item \u201cDisplay & Brightness\u201d. Now the appearance can be adjusted.<\/p>\n

Reminders and Apple Maps<\/h3>\n

As part of the new iPhone operating system, the \u201cReminders\u201d application has also been updated. It appears with a redesigned user interface. This is divided into areas such as \u201cToday\u201d, \u201cPlanned\u201d, \u201cAll\u201d and \u201cMy Lists\u201d. When creating a reminder, Siri will now try to fill in the information the user enters. Apple Maps also has an important feature in iOS 13. In the future, users of the map application will be able to share their arrival time directly with friends, family and colleagues. The arrival time is automatically updated if there are delays or similar.<\/p>\n

Data protection and HomeKit under iOS 13<\/h3>\n

Of course, Apple will also upgrade data protection and security. In the future, iOS will offer system-wide protection for location tracking. This enables new options when granting tracking permission. Users can grant individual applications a \u201cone-time permission\u201d for location tracking. If a user chooses the \u201cAlways\u201d option, iOS will regularly provide them with detailed reports. Users will also have access to the \u201cHomeKit Secure Video\u201d feature in the future. Video recordings are encrypted and stored in the iCloud. In addition, the home router can be controlled using HomeKit. The function can also be viewed as a firewall. The new \u201cSign in with Apple\u201d service, on the other hand, is intended to provide more privacy. The function enables users to create a new account on suitable applications, websites and other services without revealing potentially sensitive private information. In contrast to existing solutions, \u201cSign in with Apple\u201d users can authenticate themselves using Face ID or Touch ID and decide for themselves which personal information is passed on to the respective provider - more on this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Messages & Memojis<\/h3>\n

Apple's own messaging app Messages is also being revised in iOS 13. Users can set up a profile with a name and photo, which is then automatically shared with the chat partner. The popular Memojis are also getting a comprehensive update. They now have more design options - including makeup, AirPods, monocles and more hats. The Memojis you create can also be sent as stickers - they can be found next to the emojis in the keyboard.<\/p>\n

Photo app and camera under iOS 13<\/h3>\n

The Photos app will be completely reorganized in iOS 13 - there will also be new functions. iOS will recognize duplicates and automatically remove them from the albums - thanks Apple! Users can, for example, edit photos and videos directly from the app and use numerous options - you can find more details in our extensive Summary<\/a>. With the changes to portrait lighting in iOS 13, users can adjust the position and intensity of the studio lighting effects. The improvement makes it possible to achieve, for example, smoother skin, sharper eyes and brighter facial features. There is also the new high-key mono effect, a monochrome motif on a white background.<\/p>\n

AirPods, HomePod & CarPlay<\/h3>\n

Under iOS 13, Siri can read out incoming messages on its own and users can answer them via AirPods without the command \u201cHey Siri\u201d. The feature will be available in every messaging app that uses SiriKit. There will also be an audio sharing option that allows two audio devices to be connected to an iPhone. For example, two pairs of AirPods or other Bluetooth devices can be connected to the Apple smartphone at the same time. The HomePod has access to radio stations for the first time and can play songs using Handoff. Under iOS 13, the smart speaker can also be controlled by multiple voices \u2013 read more here<\/a>CarPlay is also being updated - it will adapt to larger displays in the future and will have a new user interface. The music app has been completely redesigned and Siri no longer covers the entire screen.<\/p>\n

Data saving mode & data limit for downloads in mobile networks<\/h3>\n

In iOS 13, Apple warns users when they try to start a large download on the mobile network - but they are allowed to exceed the limit. The limit is therefore completely removed in iOS 13 and replaced by a warning message. In addition, the system now displays a message indicating that the app size is slightly higher and shows the exact file size. The user can now decide whether to continue the download or wait for a WiFi connection. The whole thing can even be customized. There is a new setting in the iTunes & App Store called "App Downloads". The default option is "Ask if over 200 MB" and displays the warning accordingly. In "Ask First" mode, the user is always asked to confirm the download of a mobile app. The new data saving mode in iOS 13 allows apps to reduce the use of mobile data on the iPhone. iPhone users with limited data volume in particular can benefit from the new function and no longer have to worry about their GBs.<\/p>\n

Support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One S controllers<\/h3>\n

When it was announced that tvOS would get support for the DualShock 4 and Xbox One S controllers, many of us thought it would only be tvOS that would get this support. But not so! iOS 13 also supports the popular console controllers. This could turn the iPhone into a small Playstation 4 if you use the official Remote App from Sony \u2013 This is how you connect your iPhone & Co. with one of the two joysticks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
