Apple has announced their new devices (iMac&monitor), new watch OS, iPad OS and iOS 13 where they brought really cool features that were supposed to be implanted years ago, as most of the ideas, I believe are part of Jailbreak tweaks, Cydia store and developers standing behind it.
Let’s review some of the new additions, updates, and options coming to our iPhones from September.
Dark Mode – a Beautiful new look gives iOS and apps a beautiful dark color scheme. Perfect for low-light environments, Dark Mode is easier on your eyes and won’t disturb people around you. To Turn it on manually you’ll have to Tap the new button in Control Center to quickly turn Dark Mode on and off, or you can have it activated automatically at you desired time or Have Dark Mode turn on and off based on sunrise and sunset, which is great when you’re outside at night or using your iPhone before you go to bed.
Also, with dark mode there’s going to be New wallpapers optimized for Dark Mode, it will automatically change as you switch between light and dark. Dark Mode is also integrated throughout iOS, from built-in apps and settings to system-level views.
Works with your favorite apps. An API lets third-party developers implement Dark Mode in their apps.
Photo previews got smarter
All-new Photos tab lets you browse your photo library with different levels of curation, so it’s easy to find, relive, and share your photos and videos. You can view everything in All Photos, focus on your unique photos in Days, relive your significant moments in Months, or rediscover your highlights in Years.
Throughout the Photos tab, muted Live Photos and videos begin playing as you scroll, bringing your photo library to life.
In Days, Months, and Years, photo previews are larger to help you distinguish between shots. Photos uses intelligence to find the best part of your photo in photo previews, which means you get to see the uncropped version of your photo when you tap to view it. As for Contextual transitions, Animations and transitions keep your place in the Photos tab, so you can switch between views — like Days and All Photos — without losing your place.
The best update is: similar shots and clutter, duplicate photos, screenshots, whiteboard photos, documents, and receipts are identified and hidden, so you see only your best shots. Also, The Photos tab displays the name of the location, holiday, or concert performer to provide helpful context for your significant events. Years is contextual, so it shows you photos taken on or around today’s date in past years.
Birthday mode – If you have birthdays assigned to people in your People album, the Photos tab will highlight your photos of them on their birthday.
Picture Filter control
Control the intensity of any filter, like Vivid or Noir, to fine-tune your look. Enhance now lets you control the intensity of your automatic adjustments. As you increase or decrease Enhance, you’ll see other adjustments — including Exposure, Brilliance, Highlights, Shadows, Contrast, Brightness, Black Point, Saturation, and Vibrance — intelligently change with it.
Boost muted colors to make your photo less rich without affecting skin tones and saturated colors.
White Balance – Balance the warmth of an image by adjusting temperature (blue to yellow) and tint (green to magenta).
Sharpen – Change photos by making edges crisper and better defined.
Definition – Increase image clarity by adjusting the definition slider.

Vignette – Add shading to the edges of your photo to highlight a powerful moment using Strength, Radius, and Falloff.
You can pinch to zoom while editing to review your changes on a specific area of your photo.
Video editing support
Nearly everything you can do with a photo you can now do with a video. Adjustments, filters, and crop support video editing, so you can rotate, increase exposure, or even apply filters to your videos. Video editing supports all video formats captured on iPhone, including video in 4K at 60 fps and slo-mo in 1080p at 240 fps.1
Nondestructive video edits
Video edits are now nondestructive, so you can remove an effect like a filter or undo a trim to return to your original video.

You can also choose to have Apple create a unique email address for you that forwards to your real address.
