So if you’ve been eagerly waiting for the new Apple announcements, here are brief details on what to expect at the WWDC 2019 event next week.

iOS 13

The next-gen version of Apple’s software platform for iPhones and iPads will be the biggest highlight at the upcoming event. The new iOS will come with the much-anticipated Dark Mode, which will be available from Control Centre. The dark theme on iOS 13 is expected to be system-wide, just like what we have on the macOS. Notably, third-party app makers will be able to redesign their apps to take advantage of the dark mode.

As for the other new iOS 13 features, we are expecting the new OS to offer improved Screen Time capabilities with parental controls. The Find My Friends and Find My iPhone apps will be integrated into a single new app. The company will also introduce revamped versions of some of its core apps including Books, Mail, Messages, Maps, and Health. The Messages app will be getting support for profile pictures and better privacy options and apps such as Reminders and Files are also expected to have improved filters and better layouts. Notably, iOS 13 for iPad is said to come with new features to boost the workflow. We can expect multi-window support, side-by-side usage of a single app, and stackable, movable cards inside apps.

macOS 10.15

Talking about the new macOS version, it will have new features that will bring iOS and macOS closer than ever before. Part of its Marzipan project, macOS will make it easy for developers to port their iOS apps on Apple’s desktop platform. Another biggest highlight of the new update will be the support for using an iPad as a second screen for the Macs. With macOS 10.15 version, Apple is expected to break up iTunes into separate Music, Podcasts, Books, and TV apps.

This will allow users to directly download apps straight to their wrists. The App Store is also said to come with a bunch of new watch faces and a host of new apps.
