Apple Device Updates and New Features

How do you know your Apple device offers new or updated features?

You can see available iOS device updates – and notifications – in Settings → General → Updates. Devices include smartphone and tablet, Apple or Android.

Be the First to See New Apple Features and Updates

One of my all-time favorite sites for keeping up with Apple updates and new features is CNET. Below, a current CNET article about iOS 13 Updates.

Another Favorite Apple Device Update: Dark Mode

Another favorite iOS update is Dark Mode which changes the display, which helps when in low-light surroundings.

Mature Adults Tech Training - Update Your iPhone Skills: Dark Mode

Dark Mode is available on devices after the iPhone 8 model.

Enable and customize Dark Mode in Settings → Display and Brightness → Dark Mode.

While principally a user interface feature (and to some degree, a battery-saving feature) – Dark Mode may be a personal preference more than anything.

Try it in several iPhone features – such as email, messages, and especially photos. If you see yourself using Dark Mode frequently, add it as an option to the Control Center, making it easy to engage and disengage.
