iOS 13, which launches today, focuses more on adding a range of incredibly useful features and tweaks rather than pursuing a bold, overarching new direction. For instance, Safari on iPad now functions as a full desktop browser, just like on your Mac. Another great addition is the redesigned share sheet, which includes a top row of one-tap buttons for easily sharing with friends via iMessage. If you’re curious about when someone shares their location how do you see it, iOS also introduces enhancements to location-sharing features, which you can learn more about here.
Or, in iPadOS 13, which ships at the end of the month, you can plug in pretty much any USB device and it will work. Hard drives, SD cards full of movies, anything.
So, while you’re waiting for the new version of iOS to install on your device(s), check out all the new iOS 13 features right here.
The iPhone 11 Pro brings what might just be the best camera ever to ship with a smartphone. Travel photographer Austin Mann, who took the iPhone 11 Pro for a spin this week, lavishes praise on the new Night mode.
It’s so good, in fact, that he thinks it will “completely change how everyone shoots on their iPhone.”
Pocket Casts, one of the best third-party podcast apps on iOS, is now available for free.
It won’t cost you anything to download the app anymore, and you’ll get to enjoy some of its best features — like cross-platform syncing and the dark theme — for absolutely nothing.
An optional Pocket Casts Plus subscription, priced at just $0.99 a month, gets you even more.

Activision’s Call of Duty: Mobile, an entry in the popular franchise, but built from the ground up for mobile, will be launching worldwide October 1.

Apple’s VP of communications is stepping away from the company after leading Apple’s public relations efforts for the last five years.
Steve Dowling, who worked at Apple for 16 years, sent out a memo to staff saying that now is the time for him to step away from the company.

The recently-announced 10.2-inch iPad replaces the 9.7-inch iPad in Apple’s lineup, but it’s not a big jump in internal specifications.

The insides of the Apple Watch Series 5 aren’t all that different from last year’s Series 4.

Apple says that the European Commission doesn’t understand its business — and places way too much emphasis on the importance of its Irish divisions.
The accusation was made on the second day of Apple’s court hearing to appeal its $14.4 billion tax bill.
We’ve got our first glimpse of what Apple TV+’s kid-friendly programming is going to look like, thanks to trailers for Ghostwriter and Helpsters.
Ghostwriter reboots a popular children’s mystery/fantasy series that originally ran from 1992 through 1994. It involved a group of diverse kids who solve crimes and mysteries with the help of a ghost, which can communicate only by rearranging letters and words to form sentences.
Helpsters, meanwhile, is a Sesame Street-style show all about learning to help. The question: Can these shows help Apple TV+ become a success?
We take so many pictures with our phones, it might make sense to think of them as cameras that also make calls. But they don’t quite feel or work like a dedicated camera, unless you get this decked-out accessory.
