iOS 13 Key Features
Improved Performance

iOS 13’s biggest feature is its new Dark Mode which changes most of the UI experience to deliver a darker visual representation. Dark Mode is a system-wide experience that stretches from the home screen all the way to the Music App.

Reminders App
Apple will be revamping the Reminders app. New features such as a “Today”, “Scheduled”, “Flagged” and “All” options will help you sort your reminders in the app. The UI is also completely different. Apple claims that machine learning will go into creating these new reminders and the app will suggest when you would like to be reminded while you create them.
Memoji Accessories and Stickers
You will now be able to accessorize your Memoji with makeup, braces, earrings and even put in AirPods. Everyone will also gain access to new Memoji stickers which can be used across all iOS 12 devices without the need for Face ID to create a Memoji. These stickers can be used across iOS devices and apps.
New Video Effects and Photo App
Apple has added a video editor into the photo app in iOS 13 which means you can now edit videos (yes, rotate them too), add filters and adjust finer details of it all without the need for a third-party app. The Photo app will also be revamped with new memories features as well as a declutter feature for multiple shots. This will be powered by machine learning to help declutter your photo library.
