On June 3, Apple released the new five major systems including iOS, iPad OS, macOS and Mac Pro at the 2019 WWDC Global Developer Conference. Among them, the most noteworthy is the iOS new operating system IOS13 and the newly launched iPad dedicated system iPadOS.
Here’s a look at the new features of iOS13 and iPad OS.
IOS 13
Performance Upgrade
Apple is working hard to make the IOS system run faster. Apple CEO Cook revealed that under the IOS 13 system, the download and update of the APP is become smaller, the APP size is reduced by 50%, and the update is reduced by 60%. At the same time, APP response speed has increased by 2 times compared with IOS 12, and Face ID unlock speed has increased by 30%.
System-wide Dark Mode
Apple officially launched the long-awaited dark mode. This is the biggest change that Apple has brought visually after IOS 7. This dark mode with a metal rock band style will give users a new night view.
Dark mode supports manual or automatic switching. You can manually switch between light or dark backgrounds in Settings > Display & Brightness. You can also turn on automatic triggering. The condition for replacing the appearance is the default “Sunrise/Sunset Time” or you can set the time period according to your needs.
At the same time, in IOS 13, Apple also provided 4 wallpapers that support “Dark Mode”. It can be self-adapted according to the light or dark appearance. Of course, not only do mobile apps and system interfaces get dark, all Apple apps do dark processing, including keyboards and notification pages, which are also new dark tones.
However, IOS 13 is still a beta version, so third-party applications are basically light backgrounds, which seems to be somewhat fragmented. However, the mainstream APP should also be quickly updated after the launch of the beta version of IOS13, which is worth looking forward to.
New QuickPath Swipe Keyboard
IOS 13 also updated the typing this time, adding a new QuickPath swipe keyboard option. It allows the user to slide multiple buttons at once, significantly increasing the typing speed.
Street View Map
IOS 13 has revolutionized the Apple map. Apple fitted hundreds of planes and cars with custom sensors and lidar and covered over 4 million miles to update the Maps app. The new map will completely reconstruct the basic map with 3D modeling, retaining the details of the streetscape, the road coverage is wider, the sidewalk data is more perfect, the address is more precise, and the landform features are more detailed.
More Secure and More Private
Apple has released a new and more private login feature – “sign in with Apple”. When users log in to an app or website, they can use Apple ID to easily identify themselves in addition to using social accounts or verifying email addresses or account passwords. Apple will provide developers with a unique random ID. Even if the developer asks you to provide an email, Apple can provide you with a random email address to keep your information private.
On the other hand, IOS 13 will let you limit app location access to “just once”, so that developers can only obtain the right to share the location once, and will not cover your location in the background. Of course, if you agree to be geographically acquired, you can set it yourself.
Apple App Update More Detail Features
IOS13 also brings more detailed changes to its own applications, almost every new application has new features.

iPadOS
