Apple introduced iOS 13 to the world on Monday.
But now that the iPad officially has its own operating system, iOS truly belongs to the iPhone now.
So, what does iOS 13 say about the future of the iPhone?
First, let’s break down everything that’s new and important coming in iOS 13. Then we’ll explain what it all means.
First, Dark Mode is coming.

Dark Mode isn’t very noticeable from the home screen, but it’s going to make a huge difference in all of your Apple apps.
Music, Reminders, Mail, Photos, and more can all be affected by Apple’s system-wide Dark Mode, which will make it easier to read your phone at night.
Notably, Apple also added Dark Mode tools for developers so it’s easy to implement the new mode in almost any app that comes along.
Apple is giving you more control over your Portrait-mode photos.

In iOS 13, you’ll be able to adjust the portrait lighting effects at a more granular level, and you can also add effects to Portrait-mode photos, like making it fully black and white with a press of a button.
Apple updated the Photos app.

The new Photos app shows moments, instead of a grid of every photo you took.
Apple also tweaked the photo-editing tools to look simpler, and will now let you use tools and effects on videos in the same way you would on photos.
