At its annual World Wide Developers Conference in San Jose, California, Monday, Apple announced new features and designs for the operating systems that run on iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and Apple TVs, as well as one very expensive new computer.As expected, Apple is replacing its once groundbreaking, often bemoaned audio and video app, iTunes.
IPhones, iPads and the iPod touch will now have an optional dark mode coming in iOS 13. Dark modes favor lighter text on dark backgrounds, and are said to be easier on the eyes when looking at a screen in a dimly-lit environment. Many apps already have their own individual dark modes, and Macs have a system-wide dark mode.
With iOS 13, you'll be able to share your name and your photo in Messages. It's adding more personalization options for its"memojis," including makeup, piercings, more teeth options like gaps and grills, earrings, additional hair options, hats and glasses. The avatars will work on more devices, Mail, and even some third-party messaging apps like WeChat.
