Hot on the heels of the iPhone event, Apple is taking the final steps before releasing iOS 13 to the public. It comes with a new dark mode, improvements in stock apps, better privacy controls, and much more.
After the event, Apple announced that iOS 13 will be available on September 19. The company will then update devices to iOS 13.1 with additional software features on September 30.
A Note About iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 Release
For the first time, Apple is splitting the iOS release into two. iOS 13 for iPhone and iPadOS 13 for iPad. We’ve already talked about how iPadOS 13 will almost turn iPad into a real computer. So in this article, we’ll focus purely on the iPhone specific features.
Apple is set to release iOS 13 to the iPhone 6s and higher. To check if the update is available on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Dark Mode
This is the big one. The one you’ll push that update button for. iOS 13 brings a system-wide dark mode that flips the script—white text on a black background.
It uses a true black theme, meaning that the background in many apps is pitch black. On iPhones with OLED screens (iPhone X, XS, and XS Max), this looks exceptionally beautiful because the black pixels don’t light up. This also might help save a small bit of battery life.
To enable the dark mode, go to the Control Center, tap and hold on the Brightness slider, and then tap on the “Dark Mode” button.
You can also set up a schedule by going to Settings > Display and Brightness > Schedule. You can enable dark mode based on when your local sunset takes place or a custom schedule.
Just like macOS Mojave, the dark mode switch extends to apps and websites (in Safari). If the app or website supports it, they’ll automatically switch between the light and dark appearance.
