Earlier this month, Apple introduced iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, which are Apple’s new top-of-the-line smartphones. Sounds dramatic, but with iOS 13, Apple once again takes on Google’s Android 10 in a constant battle of being the most dominant, private, and adaptable OS. iOS 13 is packed with dozens of killer features, and here we will be discussing all the significant features of iOS 13.

Power-packed features of iOS 13, Apple’s next-generation iOS operating system

Dark mode

The new system-wide Dark Mode is the noticeable and heavily marketed feature of iOS 13. Buttons and other elements that typically appeared white or bright in the previous versions will be now black or dark. Some people love dark modes found on different OS like MacOS and Android. People think the dark mode is easier on the eyes and also claim that it saves battery life. After installing iOS 13 on your iPhones, you can toggle the dark mode on or off from Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance > Dark.

Sign in with Apple

Most people are familiar with universal logins and all thanks to Facebook and Google for allowing log-in to third party and websites without creating separate accounts on those sites. Instead of logging in to those sites, sign in with Facebook or Google. Like Facebook and Google login options, Apple’s universal login allows creating accounts for and log in to apps and websites quickly. The difference is Apple gives minimum information about you to those apps and sites, and also, Apple won’t track any of your activities on the apps or websites.

Apple maps is an actual google maps competitor now

Apple Maps have been subpar to Google’s for years but with the new launch that no longer holds true for the most part. Apple has nailed it this time by introducing its own Street View-like feature called “Look Around,” and it’s stunning that surpasses the Google Maps.

Siri finds a new voice

Siri doesn’t have the most exceptional track record of being a standout feature in iOS, but in iOS 13, Apple has made major strides. Google’s Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa perform better, but the impressive improvement in Apple’s Siri is its new voice. With this new launch, Siri’s voice will be 100% computer-generated, unlike the previous versions where Apple was using prerecorded audio clips.

Reminders are much more powerful

In iOS 13, the built-in app gets a comprehensive revamp with an all-new interface. The most solid feature of the new reminders app is a quick toolbar that makes it simple to add dates, time, locations, flags, and attachments to your reminders. The Reminders app has now emerged as a powerful to-do and productivity tool with the new launch.

Face Id gets a speed boost

Face ID feature is Apple’s biometric security system included in iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS series, iPhone 11, and iPhone 11 Pro series. This feature allows you to unlock your phone, verify purchase and sign into the apps & sites by showing your face, making iPhone feel like magic. It is safe and secure, and in iOS 13, this feature has got even better than before, and this technology will unlock the iPhone 30% faster. Face ID’s speed boost is software-based, so any iPhone with Face ID will unlock faster if you install iOS 13.

AirPods sharing is great for couples

Apple’s hottest accessory ever made is its AirPods wireless earbuds iOS 13 has come up with expanded capabilities. In the iOS 13 version, two users can connect AirPods with a single iPhone. It will be a terrific feature that is going to be undoubtedly popular with couples. Until iOS 13.1 is released on September 30, the AirPods sharing feature of iOS 13 is not officially available.

None of them is in the shade due to the launch of a new feature in an opponent’s platform.

The consistent strife among the two platforms leads to the development of new features without fail, and their launch in the market makes it challenging for iOS and Android app development companies to figure out which is better. As per the latest trends and features prevalent in the market, there is similarity in the list of features found in both the apps developed by the iOS and Android app developers. The latest software updates of both, i.e., Android Q and iOS 13, which are in beta stage as of now launched by Google and Apple respectively, are currently in the market. The mobile phones are a slab of metal and glass without the operating systems that powers them.

The iOS 13 in its beta version is only available to developers yet with a dark mode for the whole system, better control on the privacy settings and scads of improvements made to make iPhone secure and convenient to use.

A few of the most important features of both platforms are discussed below.

Privacy assurance

Apple declared at WWDC that since its business is not like that of Google that depends on the user data and targeted ads, it will provide its customers with better location permission services while using apps, that will allow the user to choose to share the location once and again ask the user next time whenever the location is required. Likewise, Apple’s new method to sign in will let the user sign in incognito to websites and apps without being trailed.

Whereas with Google, as its significant way to generate revenue is through ads that take into account the user search, for instance, what website they look for, etc. So in the Android Q, it has taken a significant step to enhance the privacy of the users by letting the users control what information they want to share via apps and various services.

Overall dark mode

The dark mode is favourable; the reason being it saves the battery life as it needs to light up fewer pixels along with reducing the strain on the eyes. The Android Q, unlike the previous update of Android Pie, has the dark mode evenly distributed on the mobile operating system and allows the user to switch between the bright white screen and the dark mode.

Apple, on the other hand, has a dark mode for its mobile operating system in iOS 13. The dark theme mode, as declared at the WWDC is available in wallpapers, notifications to widgets, calendar to messages offering a consistent dark experience for its users.

Photos- Editing and sharing

In Google’s photo service, there is everything that is required. With 15 GB of free online storage, the powerful editing tools along with effortless backup and photo sharing, Google offers a perfect photo editing tool. The night site also uplifts the scale to Android. Being a Google tool, it is easy to look for people and places on assigning the tags to the photo.

Apple, on the other hand, comes with a productive photo editing tool, and in iOS 13, the tool can adjust the portrait lighting with the help of the slider. With the ability to recognize faces, objects, and scenes, it helps the user to sort all the images along with the 5 GB of free iCloud storage space.

iMessages and Facetime or Google’s Duo and Hangouts

Apple offers its users end to end encrypted communication facilities via FaceTime and iMessage. The quality of video and text chat and seamless messaging among the iOS and macOS devices cannot be surpassed by any other platform so far.

Google provides messaging apps on Android like Duo, Hangouts for voice and video calling, Google Voice for voice calls again, Messages for chat or text message. Hangouts website offers to message on Mac or Windows devices along with the web version of the app.

Conclusion:
