The newest software update for iPhones has been announced, and it’s bringing major updates to a bunch of native Apple apps.
Apple debuted iOS 13 on Monday at its largest conference of the year, WWDC. The newest software update adds more to what you can do with major Apple apps like Photos and Maps, and revamps the look of your iPhone with the new system-wide "dark mode" color scheme.
iOS 13, which rolls out to users in the fall, is now solely made for iPhones and iPods. Meanwhile, iPads get their own operating system — iPadOS.
Check out some of the biggest new features coming to iPhones with iOS 13:
One of the biggest changes iOS 13 will bring is which devices it’s available on.
Apple
Apple announced that iOS 13 is now only for iPhones and iPods — iPads now have their own software, iPadOS.
Users with an iPhone 6S or later will be able to download iOS 13 this fall.
A system-wide dark mode is coming to iPhones in iOS 13.
Apple
Dark mode will give a darker color scheme to your phone’s lock screen and most of Apple’s own apps, including Messages, Apple Music, Maps, Calendar, and News.
Dark mode is designed for iPhone use in darker settings that require less screen brightness, and will work with third-party apps if developers choose to add it.
A number of new photo-editing tools are coming that will make professional-looking adjustments right inside the Photos app.
Apple
The Photos app already had photo-editing tools, but the new tools will be more advanced, similar to third-party photo-editing apps like VSCO.
Those tools will also be available for video editing, including the ability to rotate and crop video.
