Apple launches iOS 13 with Dark Mode at WWDC 2019 alongside watchOS 6, tvOS 13

Apple kicked off its WWDC 2019 with a keynote by Tim Cook that mainly talked about how iOS has become one of the most-used mobile platforms in the world accounting for 85 per cent adoption of the latest iOS 12 software on all Apple devices. Cook took a jibe at Android, saying that a meagre 10 per cent devices are running the latest Android 9 Pie version.

Craig Federighi, SVP for software engineering at Apple, announced iOS 13 as the latest iteration to the ecosystem powering the iPhone. The iOS 13 is twice as fast as its prequel with 60 per cent smaller app updates, which is something Android natively has. But the mother of features is Dark Mode that is finally arriving on iOS. Having been demanded for quite some time, Apple has finally managed to customise everything, from the wallpaper to notifications to native apps such as Calendar, Calculator, Note, iMessage, among others, with the dark mode. iOS 13 is also adding swipe to type functionality to the keyboard.
