What fake news? And what does this "news" get them or anyone given that everyone knows that they would already be working and testing the next version as they basically always do every year, as basically most software/hardware companies do on an ongoing basis? There's really nothing new or fake here to say anything about anything one way or another.
Of course they are already playing with it. You can’t create an operating system overnight. Probably started playing with it when 10 came out
It is good iOS 13 is coming. I like my iPhone Xs. Some things need improvement...
Multi-tasking needs to be better. There is no way to close an app with one touch when I'm using it. Too many open apps means the multi-tasking 'queue' quickly becomes tedious.
The keyboard, when I swipe across it it should delete the word (like BlackBerry BB10's keyboard)
When I swipe up on the photo (in Photos app) I should have the ability to make some notes and rename the file. Also, it would be handy to add weather conditions information to the picture (in the swipe-up view). Perhaps the option to add weather info "on" the picture would also be handy.
When I connect the iPhone to the Mac with the cable, it should appear on the desktop as a drive I can open with Finder
The Phone should record calls. All call recording apps in App Store are monthly or yearly subscription. This really sucks.
iOS 13 should have a password manager app. Almost all password apps in App Store are also subscription. Again, it sucks.
In Maps it would be handy to know how long I was at a location. Maybe the Health app can track this.
Maps can also have an AR view. Where I see, for example, information tagged on places, buses, etc. Maybe my route is shown in AR view.
I would like tabs in Safari to automatically refresh when I switch to a tab.
iOS 13 should have the ability to connect pictures together like the app "Photo Blender".
In Photos I should have the ability to insert a picture into a picture.
I would like the ability to reshoot a picture and it stays in the same spot in the queue. E.g. reshooting a blurry picture
I would like the ability to add white space around a picture.
Inserting text into a picture should be much faster. Currently it takes 4 steps to insert text.
I would like the ability to do "selective" photo editing in Photos. E.g. I can choose a spot in the photo and change brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. at that location (like in app Snapseed). Also, at a "spot", define the boundaries of that "spot" and insert a picture there.
Fixing a 'warped' picture would be handy in Photos.
When an app is running, the icon on the home screen should show it. Maybe it could be a bit larger and animated in some way.
Words in a dictionary definition should be linked. If I touch a word in a definition it should define that word.
Need ability to open the camera from Photos. The Edit button in Photos is not in the same spot like it is in Camera.
If I 3D touch the Bluetooth symbol in the swipe-down menu, I should get the Bluetooth menu
In Maps, the ability to track (to choose) a location's weather. Make daily weather reports for that location.
In transit mode in Maps. I would like to track a bus I choose and see a small icon on the map as it moves
In the Phone app, in "Keypad" mode, a button to turn off the speakerphone is needed. Also, a button to launch a notepad screen where I can quickly write a phone number with my finger.
Thank you

iOS devices already come with dark mode. There’s a dedicated darkmode button, just push it, and the screen will switch directly to that mode. To disable dark mode, press the button again, or press the “home” button, (if your device has one).
Why are devices running iOS 13
I understand that these devices exist running iOS 13 and they will browse the web. But why MacRumors? Surely anyone running iOS 13 on their phone already knows what's in the pipeline and wouldn't need to frequent MacRumors...
iOS has truly been stale for the past few years. Unless you want dancing emoticon faces, in which case you are probably happy.
I think of Mac Rumors as being a tech forum, so maybe they do too. They may also appreciate the wide range of topical conversations to be had here when not interested in tech. Maybe they enjoy snickering at all the speculation that their efforts create. Mostly I think they recognize a community of people who have found a place to share ideas and troubleshoot problems and want to be a part of it. We’re talking about thousands and thousands of employees of which a very small percentage peruse this website so best not to overthink what this traffic actually means.
Why?

Stale? Like not changing colors or UI willy nilly like Android? There are a ton of new APIs and stuff under the hood in every new iOS version, and since I spend all my time on my devices running the apps instead of staring at the OS, I don't care if the OS is stale or boring.
I mean are you doing the same on Windows, just staring at the OS itself instead of running programs? :shrug:
Fix "Do Not Disturb" settings so that you can choose different times for different days of the week I would like the phone to stay silent longer for weekends and not have to go into my phone each time to set that.
Dark mode would be greatly appreciated. Improved use of your iPad’s larger display would as well.
I have no interest in dark mode, but I do have interest and I think others will agree, is Siri needs to be overhauled. It does things very well in certain areas, but is most certainly behind the competition with Google and Alexa currently. I think finally we will see more significant changes with Siri demoed at WWDC 2019 in June.
[doublepost=1546517776][/doublepost]The iPad has the hardware. It’s had the hardware for a couple of generations now to support a better operating system. IF they put out another Jerry-rigged phone software this year, it means they don’t have a clue or they can’t with the current software team and the need to fire project managers and get new ones. Hopefully they can beg Scott Forstall back because it seems like everything has stood still and no one knows what to do since he left.
Apple is already working on the next-generation version of iOS, iOS 13. Based on visits to the MacRumors website from Apple IP addresses on devices running iOS 13, work on the update has been picking up over the course of the last few months.
We first spotted devices running iOS 13 in October, and in November and December, visits from iPhones with iOS 13 installed have increased. Visits slowed during late December, but should pick up again now that the holidays are over and work is continuing.
Apple often starts work on new versions of iOS many months in advance, and we've already learned some details about what we can expect in iOS 13. There were several iOS 12 features that were delayed to allow Apple to work on bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements, and we're expecting to see these delayed features introduced in iOS 13.
Rumors have suggested iOS 13 will include new features aimed at iPad owners, such as a revamped Files app, in-app tabs for opening multiple windows of the same app, support for using the same app side-by-side in Split View multitasking mode, and more.
Other delayed iOS 12 features include a revamped Home screen app grid for the iPhone and iPad, and expanded photo management features.
More details on what we can expect to see in iOS 13 will undoubtedly leak out in the coming months as Apple continues to ramp up testing of the update.
MacRumors readers have shared a list of features that they're hoping to see introduced in iOS 13, including a Messages hub, dark mode, an option to hide or remove the Dock, settings to select default Mail, Maps, and Messages apps, and more. If you have iOS 13 features you're hoping for, feel free to share them on our forums.
Apple will give us a first look at iOS 13 when it hosts its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, which, historically, has taken place during the first few weeks of June.

Childish color scheme, tacky design and thinner fronts on a phone UI does not equal innovation.
The changes are simple and obvious and should have been implemented 4 years ago. Files system, trackpad and mouse support and pro apps.

June can't come soon enough. Hell, I bet most of us have been waiting for this since like jailbroken iOS 4 or 5.
Let me stick icons where I want (it still has to be a grid, though). Dark mode. SCROLLING WALLPAPER (or Parallax Wallpapers ala the namesake JB tweak).
