Apple iOS 13 upcoming features for iPhone

At its annual developer event on Monday, Apple announced many new features that will begin to be deployed on iPhones this fall with the iOS 13 software update. Here's a quick overview:

If you use Google Sign-in or Facebook to connect to apps, your personal data may be shared beyond those networks. Now, Apple introduces "Sign in with Apple" which, according to Apple, removes all the tracking. It authenticates with Face ID, connects with a new account and does not reveal any new personal information, Apple said. You can choose to share your email or even hide it. If you choose to hide it, Apple will create a random address that will be sent to your actual address.

Apple has also announced the introduction of new protections for location checks. So you can share your location with an application once and have him ask you again the next time he wants to use your location. Currently, you can give it the option to never use your location or only when the app is open. Apple also said that it would not let apps follow you over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Like last year, Apple has been focusing on improving iOS performance so everything is faster. Craig Federighi, of Apple, said that Apple "was working hard to speed things up." Downloads and application updates on the App Store will be 50% smaller, apps will be launched up to 2x faster and Face ID is now 30% faster, said Federighi .

IOS 13 supports dark mode, which darkens all the bright areas of the user interface. So, instead of a white background in an application like News, the background is black. The same goes for apps like Calendar, Apple Notes and Messages. The dark mode is more pleasant for the eyes, especially at night, because your screen does not emit a bright white.

Android and third-party keyboards have long allowed users to slide your finger from one letter to another to write a word, but the native keyboard of Apple always requires you to touch. Now you will be able to slip from one letter to the other. Some people can write messages much more quickly this way, but you certainly have to get used to it over time.

Apple has reorganized some of its applications, but said its most important changes have been made to applications such as Reminders, which were not very good in the past. Now you can type what you want, and he will remember where and when you call him back. Or you can tap a location to get a reminder when you get there. It also includes smart lists, which, according to Apple, will place the most important items on your list at the top. (We still do not know how he knows which elements are the most important, though.)

Apple uses cars to get more accurate information for its Maps application, a project it has been working on for years.

Apple said the new cards were much more detailed and planned to broadcast them to the entire United States by the end of this year. There is a new binocular icon, Look Around, which works like Google Street View, offering a high definition 3D view of the area where you are. If you turn your phone to the side, you can also move in the street, just like in Street View. But with AR support, you can call stores to find out more.

Apple is adding a new feature to its Home application, called HomeKit Secure Video, which more securely secures the live camera feeds that power your app. You get up to 10 days of clips in your existing iCloud accounts from smart cameras that support the system, such as Logitech and Eufy.

Apple has made some changes to iMessage in iOS 13. Apple has added new features to Memoji so that they look a lot more like you. You'll be able to add things like suspenders, jewelry, new hair styles and colors, hats, earrings, AirPods, different eyewear styles and more.

Apple adds a new portrait lighting feature called "High Key Mono" and will allow you to control the distance that separates simulated lights from a portrait photo so that photos look more professional. The editing of photos will be easier and will have more effects. Apple will also let you edit videos with these effects for the first time. So you can rotate a video, for example, or change the white balance, filters, brightness, shadows, and so on.

In Photos, Apple removes advanced machine learning to remove duplicates, screen captures, and items that you believe do not matter to you. A new Photos application offers an option called Days to create presentations of the best takes you've taken each day, including live photos and video clips. In the same way, Month displays the biggest events of the month, like a trip or a birthday. Years does the same thing, but will highlight what happened the day of previous years.

Siri is being upgraded for use on AirPods, iPhones, CarPlays and HomePods. On the AirPods, Siri will read the messages directly to you upon their arrival and you will be able to answer without ever touching the AirPods side.

For HomePod, Hand-off will now allow you to enter the house and press your iPhone to transfer everything that's played on your iPhone to HomePod. Siri will also support more than 100,000 live radio stations from locations such as iHeartRadio that you can ask Siri to read. Siri will also recognize people who speak to personalize an answer, such as the music you want, your reminders and your notes.

Apple announced this year that it would launch the largest update of CarPlay so far. You can see your entire schedule, open your garage door when you approach the house, use Siri to talk to Pandora and Waze, etc.

Apple said it has improved Siri's sound on all of its products. It did not always seem natural. Apple explained that Siri is now entirely software-based, with a more natural pace and better emphasis, especially in long, complex sentences.

Apple said that iOS 13 will allow you to automatically send unknown calls, such as spam calls, to voicemail. It has not changed much, but it is a feature offered by Android on Google Pixel phones that works well.
