iOS 13 Won’t Support Older iPhone Smartphones, Reportedly

An Israeli site came up with a very concerning rumor for the owners of some older iPhone smartphones. According to the portal, iOS 13 won’t support old iPhone devices, from iPhone 5S to iPhone 6S. Apple did not confirm the rumors, so we should take it with a grain of salt until the Cupertino-based company comes out with an announcement in that regard.

“The company is currently completing the process of building the operating system, iOS 13, which will be presented for the first time at the company’s annual developer conference, the WWDC 2019, which will take place this June. According to previous years, the update is expected to be released to all users for free in September, together with the launch of the new iPhones,” the Israeli site, The Verifier, stated.

“But just before we get a look at the next update of the iOS 13 operating system and what the innovations will be, we can say today that the company will lower support for several iPhones and iPads that will not be updated,” the news portal continued.

Reportedly, iOS 13 Won’t Support Older iPhone Smartphones

The Verifier, the Israeli site that came out with the rumor that iOS 13 won’t support older iPhone smartphones and iPad models, also presented a list of the devices that won’t get the update. According to them, the following iPhones and iPads won’t get iOS 13:

  • iPhone 6s Plus – Update is in question
  • iPhone
  • iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPhone SE – Update is in question
  • iPhone 5s
  • iPad Mini 2
  • iPad Mini 3
  • iPad mini 4 – Update is in question
  • iPad Air
  • iPad Air 2
  • iPod touch 6th generation

We should not take this rumors as true, at least not until Apple confirms it. However, The Verifier provided some accurate news regarding Apple and its iPhone smartphones and iPad tablets. If indeed iOS 13 won’t support iPhone smartphones, owners of devices from the list above would have nothing else to do than use iOS 12 versions or upgrade to newer iDevices.

iOS 13 Leak: What Should We Expect from It?

Even if iOS 12 just got to the phones in September, fans already want iOS 13. Apple is testing their new operating system. From leaks, we got that they are actually working on it, and things are just so exciting!

When will we have more details?

We’re expecting even more details soon, since leaks started to make their appearances. Many sites already shared analytics data, that showed visits from devices that run iOS 13. One of them said that it initially saw visits in October. And then, in November, and then in December. And now, they’re about to pick it up after the holidays.

What’s interesting is the fact that people had said that they’ve seen the iOS 13 running on devices ever since March 2018, which is months before iOS 12 was even revealed.

What should we expect from iOS 13?

Some leaks have shown that some of the features from iOS 12 are expected to be seen in iOS 13, too. We know it takes a long time actually to develop a new operating system, so we might have to wait a bit until it gets to see the light of the day.

Many of the most wanted features expected for iOS 12 were for iPads. A clear example would be the fact that Apple wanted to revamp the iPad’s Files app. Apple also wants to improve iPad’s multitasking features, by adding more tabs in the app, so users can open more than just one tab from inside the app.

iOS 13 may allow those of you who have an iPad to have two windows of the same app opened one next to another, in Split View.

However, not all of them are made for iPads. For iPhone, they might want to change the grid on the Home screen.

Two New iOS 12.1 Critical Vulnerabilities Reported

Like iOS 11 last year, iOS 12 is off to a bad start. In its version 12.1 released at the end of October, critical vulnerabilities and bugs are even more than in the original version.

Delivered at the end of October by Apple, the first update of iOS 12, the iOS 12.1, has two critical flaws. One gives access to recently deleted photos via the Safari browser, while the other allows users to bypass the Face ID and Touch ID authentication functions to access contacts. Other bugs are related to Wifi and battery management.

iOS 12.1 Launched With Several New Features

New features in iOS 12.1 include group conferencing management via FaceTime, 70 new emojis, and support for dual SIM for eSIM on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, the iPhone 2018 models Apple rolled out earlier.

Designed for iPhone and iPad, iOS 12 was presented at WWDC 2018, Apple’s annual developer conference, on June 4th. After a series of beta versions, iOS 12 was launched on September 17th, 2018. With this new version, the Cupertino-based tech giant promises increased performance. “Even if the environment is very busy, applications will be able to launch twice as fast. As for the keyboard, it will run 70% faster,” Apple estimates.

From the iPhone 5s released in 2013 to the latest iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max released in parallel with the new iOS version, “iOS 12 will optimize the speed as no other version has done so far.”

What’s Next For Apple? iOS 13

While the two before-mentioned critical vulnerabilities are not quite very threatening as they cannot be done remotely, they are still two of the most severe leaks of privacy found in an iOS version.

On the other hand, the fans are already turning their attention towards the next iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS 13 about which many rumors have already emerged on the Internet, about one year before its release.

iOS 13 Might Come Out With New Emojis

Apple is currently preparing to release iOS 12.1. At the moment, we have arrived at Beta 5, and it should not take long until the manufacturer provides the final version. Then, we’ll be able to enjoy the more than 70 new Emojis iOS 12.1 would boast. But this saga won’t be the end of the Emoji flagpole yet. Also, in iOS 13 and its subsequent versions (iOS 13.x), new Emojis will be implemented. The candidates have been already published.

Although Apple is now working on iOS 12.1, the preparations for iOS 13 are ongoing. Now, we’re focusing on the new Emojis that might appear in Apple’s next year iOS version from which the fans expect many changes and new features and functions. Also, an iOS 13 concept has rolled out and dozens of fan-made iOS 13 wishlists, as well.

The Unicode Consortium has announced a total of 236 candidates for Emoji 12.0 for iOS 13. These are supposed to end up in the next year’s iOS 13 and macOS 10.15 operating system designed by Apple.

iOS 13 might come with new Emojis with more skin tones, animals, and images

Candidates for the Emoji 12.0 update primarily show different Emojis with more skin tones and skin color combinations than the actual Emojis, a dragon, a flamingo, a white heart, a sloth, and a few more.

According to Emojipedia, there will be a decision taken at the Unicode Consortium in January 2019 as to which candidates will actually end up in Emoji 12.0. Between January and March 2019 the whole process would complete. Just as with the last Emoji updates, Apple and other manufacturers are not expected to implement the new Emojis in their systems in parallel to the release.

Accordingly, the manufacturer, Apple, will probably take its time until autumn when the iOS 13.1 would come out. In the meantime, we’ll receive more news about the features and functions of the next year’s iOS 13 for iPhone and iPad.

iOS 13 Concept Presents Many Improvements For iPhone and iPad Users

Apple’s mobile operating system is upgraded every year with a significant update, usually in autumn. iOS 12 for iPhone and iPad has just rolled out, practically, but iOS 13 is already in the news. Well, at least an exciting iOS 13 concept teaser emerged online, promising some new and useful functions for Apple’s smartphones and tablets.

Despite how many improvements Apple makes with its operating system for mobiles, iPhone and iPad users still find plenty of room for improvement. Some of them even go as far as to create entire, well-formulated concepts on their own. So did the YouTuber Jacob Rendina who thinks ahead for Apple and presented his own iOS 13 concept.

iOS 13 Concept Presents Many Improvements For iPhone and iPad Users

As Jacob Rendina thought, iPad users, in particular, must benefit from iOS 13 more than iPhone users, so Apple would do well to take an example. After all, the new iPad Pro 2018 models are obviously intended to be alternatives to computers. In Rendina’s iOS 13 concept, iOS 13 must bring iPad Pro-specific features, including a message center similar to what we have on MacBooks but also the acceptance of third-party products compatible with USB-C port.

Besides, iOS 13 concept might come with improved security, including the well-known Touch ID, Face ID, and password access. Furthermore, optimized multitasking with the option to open apps in a separate window is wanted in the next year’s iOS version. As with the Mac, floating windows make multitasking more flexible.

Also, Rendina’s iOS 13 concept imagines a split screen option, a long sought-after feature in Apple’s mobile operating system. Besides, iOS 13 should come out with a dark theme for the iPhone and iPad, which is another sought-after feature by iOS fans. And we might indeed see the dark mode in iOS 13 as Apple implemented it this year in macOS Mojave.

To see everything the new iOS 13 concept imagines for the next year’s iOS version, we leave you Jacob Rendina’s video below.
