Apple iPhone 11 Pro review: iOS 13

Apple’s improvements to the iPhone’s camera don’t stop at the hardware, though. As part of the upgrade to iOS 13, it has also given the user interface a new lick of paint with a new zoom graphic and some of the photo options – aspect ratio and live photo, for instance – have moved from the top left of the screen to a new position, revealed by a simple swipe up from the bottom of the screen in the camera app.

Another nice addition here is the ability to have the camera capture images from the ultra-wide and primary cameras simultaneously. Then, if you go in and edit the photo, you can recompose and re-crop using the wider angle shot.

This is typical of the whole iOS 13 upgrade, in fact. There’s nothing particularly dramatic in its list of upgrades and new features but there are quite a lot of changes that have the potential to positively impact the way you use your phone on a daily basis.

One of my favourite tweaks is the ability to (at last) long-press on the Wi-Fi icon in the Control Centre menu for direct access to the Wi-Fi settings menu. You can switch between Wi-Fi networks here as well.

I’m also a big fan of the new QuickPath keyboard, which lets you swipe-to-type on the native iOS keyboard. So far, I’m loving it, and it’s a better, neater option than installing a third-party keyboard such as Gboard.

The new dark mode ought to help eke out longer battery life, too, and Apple is continuing to make improvements to the way it packages its apps, supposedly improving install and upgrade times by up to 60% in some cases. 

Face ID is supposedly faster, too, but that’s not something I can say I’ve noticed. It still works pretty reliably and I have no need for it to be any quicker. It would be nice to have at least the option of a fingerprint reader but Apple is clearly sticking to its guns with Face ID, for the time being at least.
