Not sure what you mean by non intrusive phone calls, but there is a new feature that sends unrecognized numbers to voice mail. I've been using Do Not Disturb for this, but this is better because it only affects calls. And there is a new volume control. Take some time to look at Apple's iOS 13 preview page and you might find other features they didn't have time to announce.
Dark mode will be awesome, getting tired of being in smart invert and having dark mode 3rd party apps turn to blinding white. Otherwise it seems like a very lackluster update. No multi user profiles at least? I'm still hoping on the hardware side Apple implements a better medium to low light camera than the garbage they are using currently otherwise I'm really thinking about jumping ship. I'm just bummed that my kids early years will be defined by crappy photos.
This is so unfortunate. I'm glad this company is so bored and filled with money that this feature even warrants advertising dollars.
Hopefully dark mode includes a setting to automatically switch at night like TV OS. I'm still not sure how that option didn't make it to Mac OS last year.
You’ve never gotten a call you didn’t want to answer and didn’t want to send to voicemail so you are locked on the call until it ends? Happens to me all the time. I know this isn’t just me that wants this feature.
totally agree. i "like" dark mode but tire of it quickly i find. the perfect balance would be an auto-switching mode based on time of day or ambient light at the time the device was turned on from sleep at the discretion of the user.
I get 5-10 spam calls a day, and only rarely does the caller leave a voice mail. It's just not worth their while. Do you want calls that aren't from a recognized caller not to go to voice mail, but to be terminated quickly? My only problem with that is that some of them may be important and there'd be no other way to leave a message. However, I might pay extra for a feature that uses AI to tie spam callers up by giving nonsensical answers to their questions.
with android or some
when you received a call it will be ringing on top of your screen with a small banner alert and not occupying the full screen
you can even minimized it to have it just run in the background

thats not what he meant tho. what you are referring is a different thing which is about spam callI get 5-10 spam calls a day, and only rarely does the caller leave a voice mail.

Interesting that the iPad 4, which uses the A8, gets support for iPad OS, but the older iPod touch and the iPhone 6 don't get iOS 13. I wonder if the divergence between the operating systems is now larger? Or maybe they are using the name change as a way to drop support for those older phones without looking inconsistent.
Removing my previous reply. MacRumors' article incorrectly leaves 6S off the list of compatible devices, but the Apple graphic they included confirms 6S still good to go.
As someone who uses swipe functionality every day, once you get the hang of it, youll never want to lose it. It is absolutely terrific when typing on a flat desk, or when using one hand. Happy to see this on iOS!
Well if the video is so important you can either turn on do not disturb or even airplane mode
There was nothing again about choosing own default apps, right? I mean, that’s a big deal, and I really want that. Also, I am really bored with the “grid layout” on the home screen. I don’t know what else it could look like, but 13 generations into this OS, and the springboard is still the same.
Zero advertising dollars were spent on this feature. It was announced at an annual developers conference because it is a feature available to those developers. Many other features were also announced.
Exactly, and possibly much healthier. There have been a fair number of studies in recent years about potential eye and brain damage as the result of the direct light source inches from our faces.

Seriously? Lots of us have been asking for this feature for a very long time. If you are in the crowd that wants dark mode, it is a marquee feature. It's also a challenging feature to add, as it requires a system-wide redesign and technical hooks to make sure every screen component called fits with the user's selection. It won't be everyone's cup of tea (there's a reason Apple started with a light theme), but it absolutely warrants attention.
I do like the Dark Mode and it looks good. The other upcoming change I will have to reserve opinion until I get a chance to try it out.
