Apple at its WWDC 2019 event launched the iOS 13, bringing new impressive features to improve the overall user experience for iOS users.

Last years iOS 12 was well applauded. However, this years iOS 13 is just terrific. The OS update brings features such as sign in with Apple, a system-wide dark mode, improved system performance that will make apps launch twice the speed, Face unlock 30% faster and more.

Apple also replaced iPads iOS with a new OS called iPadOS. This new iPadOS is no different from Apple's iOS 13 since it has all the features on iOS 13, though it has features built for better multitasking and also allow users to make better use of the big screen.


The reason for Apple's decision to separate the iPhone and iPad is to enable it develop separate features and apps that will enable it to cater for the needs of the two separate user bases.
