Good morning, Along with iOS 13, Apple announced WatchOS 6 at WWDC. The Apple Watch is one of my favorite Apple products. This year they announced several new features and below I talk about some of the new upcoming features with the Update. New Watch faces This year we see 5 new watch faces join us, These are Solar Dial, Gradient, California, Numeral Duo / Mono and Modular compact. My personal favorite watch face to use is the Infograph modular. It’s so useful being able to see this much information all from my wrist and I use it all the time because of that I can see the Modular compact being the most useful for me out of the new watch faces. This new face allows either an analogue or digital clock along with 2 circular complications and one big complication at the bottom that is similar to the one of the Infograph modular. For those of you who love to simply look at the time on your wrist the Gradient and Numerals Duo / Mono will be great for you. They both only te...

Good evening,  This is my hands on write up of iOS 13. At the moment I have iOS 13 Developer Beta 01 installed on my iPhone X and have been running it for about a week and a half, First let’s look at the key new features. You can check out my gallery of screenshots at the bottom of the post. Dark Mode The one everyone has been asking for, In my opinion dark mode took so long to arrive because of Apples key eye to detail. Every screen, every button and every character has been redesigned and optimized to look its best for the greatest mobile operating system in the world. As you can see in the pictures below the dark mode is applied system wide and can be easily configured to come on automatically with sunset and sunrise or it can be manually triggered in the control center in the same place as you would for Night Shift or True Tone. Reminders Reminders was completely rebuilt from the ground up! With a new more organized home screen. The app automatically groups y...

Last Monday was Apples annual Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC) and as always they kicked off with a Live keynote at 10am in San Jose. Here is a quick summery of what was announced with my opinion on things included.  tvOS 13 tvOS is expanding even further with a slightly new design on the homepage of the device as well as multiuser support, This has upset a few people I’ve noticed because for years users have wanted multiuser support on the iPad but Apple have gone and put it on the TV with no sight of it appearing on the iPad.  One of the biggest new features available on tvOS 13 is that you can connect your PlayStation and Xbox Controllers to the system. This will be great for many people when Apple Arcade comes out in the fall and I’m sure as hell that it will boost the amount of people who subscribe to the service. iOS 13   As expected the next iOS was called iOS 13! (Craig made a joke on stage) We finally got some of the features we wer...
