Apple today has released the fifth developer betas of iOS 13, tvOS 13, and iPadOS 13. These updates come just under two weeks after the release of beta 4, and include several notable changes.
Apple is expected to release iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 to the public in September. As we near that release, we should expect to see each beta include fewer major changes. Apple instead will focus on bug fixes, performance and battery life optimizations, and other under-the-hood improvements.
- In iPadOS 13, you can now adjust Home screen icon density. This means you can pick between a 4×5 grid of apps, or a 6×5 grid of apps.
- iOS 13 introduces a long list of new features. Dark Mode changes the entire look of the operating system, shifting it from light to dark, while an overhauled Photos app makes it easier to relive your memories with new Days, Months, and Years viewing options.
- iOS 13 adds a less obtrusive volume HUD, a new Find My app that combines Find MyiPhone and Find My Friends and lets you track your devices even with they don't have an LTE or WiFi connection. A Sign In with Apple feature (not yet active) gives you a convenient and data safe way to sign into apps and websites, providing an alternative to Facebook and Google sign in options.
- The “Automations” tab in the Shortcuts app has been removed; it’s unclear if this is temporary or if Apple no longer expects to ship the feature in iOS 13. (Update: Shortcuts dev says it’s temporary)
- There are new achievements for Move goals in the Activity app, above 1000 move goals
- The redesigned volume HUD now includes haptic feedback as you slide
- New smaller cursor option for mouse support on iPadOS 13
- New wallpapers in Home app
