hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I wanted to share with you the top 5
iOS 13 features so far opinions change over time and so far after using this
for a little while I wanted to share my top 5 features and the first one I
didn't think I would say but the first one is dark mode and I don't typically
like dark mode all of the time and that's one of the features I discovered
after using it for a while it has an automatic setting so during the day it's
on light mode and then at night after sunset it flips to dark mode which is
really helpful when it's dark outside or just dark in a room and you want to read
I really enjoy this feature and so I leave it on automatic all the time so
that is definitely something that I'm glad they added and it's a true dark
mode where the background is black helps save battery as well because of that now
the next feature is Maps and Apple Maps has been hit-or-miss depending where you
live but now it's getting much better so I do use Google Maps quite a lot but now
Apple Maps is getting quite good so if we go into Apple maps you'll see now
we're in Cupertino that's where Apple is and this is where the most information
is right now San Francisco Cupertino and it will be added throughout the rest of
the year for the rest of the United States so if we zoom in we have a lot
more information about the surrounding areas and businesses and if we go up
here we have look around so we've got a lot of information from Wikipedia and
now we have look around and this is like Street View but it's a little bit better
it's a lot smoother so if I just move around like this and if I want to go
down this road here you'll see it's nice and smooth as it goes down the road
instead of being kind of jittery as it goes through it's really nice and smooth
so maybe I want to go back I can go back and if you want to try this out and
you're on one of the early versions of iOS 13 go ahead and try it out it's
really nice it also has a trip planner built-in it has favorites and it's just
a really nice updated version of maps that I definitely and glad they've
changed so I'll be using that much more often when I
os 13 Apple added security enhancements to things like Safari and home can also
added a new Apple sign-in but one thing they didn't add is a VPN and that's
where today's sponsor comes in surf shark has sponsored this video and they
are the VPN or virtual private network that I use when I'm on a public wireless
network such as maybe I'm working it out at a hotel or maybe even a coffee shop
this allows me to have a secure connection to whatever I'm doing surf
shark never stores any of your data and it's super fast and allows you to use
your home location when you're traveling abroad so maybe you want to watch a
movie on Netflix and you're in Australia but you want it to look like you're in
the United States you can do that it also has clean web features that allow
you to block ads and trackers and also has features that will drop your
internet connection should there be a problem with the VPN to keep you safe
surf shark is also giving an exclusive deal to subscribers and what that means
is you get 83% off and your first month free go to surf shark comm slashes o low
tech and enter the promo codes o low tech my third favorite feature is voice
control and voice control allows you to control your entire phone using your
voice and it looks like because of this they have really improved voice
dictation it's hit or miss but it seems to be much better than it used to be so
let's go into settings we'll go down to accessibility then we'll go to voice
control and we'll turn it on and voice control will how those that want to
control their phone or iPad using just their voice or their Mac and you'll see
this little icon up here shows that it's activated so now I can say things like
open settings go home open music go home and you can continue to use this to open
different features type copy/paste and you've got everything you can do with
your finger you can do just with your voice so it's an incredibly helpful
feature and it seems to work really really well and along with typing is a
new feature called quick path and this is basically a swipe feature on the
keyboard but this is secure so you're not sharing your information with other
companies so you can just use quick path so you can say hi how are you today and
it works pretty well so you'll see it work pretty quickly there and you can
say hi my name is Erin and we'll see if it did that so it kind of works it's
getting better and better as the updates keep coming but quick
path is a very helpful feature that's secure the last feature that probably
gets overlooked the most is performance not only is there faster face ID on
devices that support it there's also up to 50% faster app launch times and this
is including all of these supported devices all the way back to the 6s 6s
plus iPhone se all the supported devices should open and load different apps up
to 50% faster because they're not only smaller in size but there's performance
optimizations throughout iOS 13 and so there are a lot of other features but
these are the top five features that I prefer so far and I really think iOS 13
is bringing a lot of new features that were really wanting and quite a few that
we just haven't even reached the surface of such as new reminders apps and also
new share sheets that I use all the time and I really really like so I'll talk
about more features in another video but right now these are my top favorite
features for right now in the future if that may change let me know what your
favorite features are in the comments below and of course I'll link this
