Really hoping they finally let us place home screen icons wherever we want...

I would like this as well but not gonna bet the farm on it happening that's for sure. Along with it tho would be nice to be able to edit the text under the icon or delete it completely. I don't need safari under the safari icon, I know it's safari, duh! Would be a much cleaner home screen.
Looking forward to at least finally getting away from all the stark white stuff with a dark mode.

No one except Apple knows which devices will be supported until WWDC in June. However, I am guessing that devices running the A8 and newer will get it. A7 is a bit more uncertain.

Your devices run:
iPad Mini 4: A8
iPod Touch 6th gen: A8
iPad 6th gen: A10
iPhone 8: A11
iPhone X: A11

So short answer: yes, they will probably all run iOS 13.

I’m pretty sure about the below:

No 1GB RAM device except HomePods will get it.

All A9 and above will get it.

A7 won’t get it.

A8 + 2GB is borderline. As is A8X.

I read somewhere, can’t recall where that iPhones from 6s on up will get the latest coming upgrade. Personally I would like to put the dev beta on my iphone7 as soon as it’s available.

I want

-dark mode in all Apple apps
-swipe gesture keyboard done right


And that’s literally it. If we get those two things in iOS 13 I’ll be ecstatic, and rumors are saying it will.

Yeah, add the ability to place home screen icons wherever you want to that list and that’s all I want.

All I want is good battery life. And Dark Mode all across to improve it further.

I hope dark mode brings the same feeling as the update to ios 7. my iphone 5 felt like a totally new phone with the redesign of ios 7. That would be awesome.

Let’s be real here, Apple still sells the iPod touch with the A8 chip with 1 GB of RAM. iOS 13 will run on that (they wouldn’t be selling it if it won’t run). The logical step is to have the 6 and 6 plus included, but the screen estates are more taxing on the processor. SE should be fine since it has the same screen size as the iPod touch and has a greater processor. My guess is that 6 and 6 plus will be supported but will probably be the last release for them.

Does anyone think we will get a redesign in terms like what we got with iOS 7 because everything has been the same since 2013. Please write back. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, in my opinion iOS 13 is going to be a major letdown on the iPhone. I don’t think there will be any more customisation of the home screen above what we’ve got at the moment. The biggest aesthetic change is going to be dark mode (whoopdidddoo) (about goddam time).

Edit: really hope they prove me wrong.

I am currently enjoying the following features via Jailbreak on my XS Max which I would like to see come to iOS 13 (although most probably won't)

-System-wide dark mode (this one seems to be all but guaranteed)

-Instagram style volume HUD (might not be as cool as the instagram one but it seems a re-design is coming)

-Split screen and PIP on the iPhone (this is awesome and so useful on the XS Max screeen but I think Apple will keep it iPad exclusive)

-Ability to customize home screen and add widgets anywhere you want (hopeful for this one but doubt it)

-Ability to go straight to the home screen with face ID when no notifications are present (Love this! its going to be hard to go back to swiping up :( )

-Customized messages app with custom bubble colors and message list colors (This is nice to have but not really necessary, Don't see apple doing it)

-Floating dock ipad Style (again nice to have but not really necessary and I don't see Apple porting that over)

-Remove that home bar at the bottom of the screen (its possible Apple will get rid of this now that enough people are used to swipe gestures already)

-Enhanced carplay there is a jailbreak app (carbridge) that allows me to use full blown apps on the carplay screen so I can stream netflix movies, watch youtube videos, full map, full waze, etc.... (Apple would never allow this for obvious reasons, but it is totally awesome when used respsonsibly)

-notification style alerts for phone calls and for invoking siri so they don't take up your whole screen (I can see Apple doing this one)

-Seperate volume control for media, ringer, alarms, etc... This annoys me to no end that I have to remember to lower my ringer volume in order to control my alarm volume (Apple should do this but its one of those annoying little things that they ignore)

Anyway I am happy with those tweaks and my phone is working wonderfully with a stable jailbreak, so this will probably be the first time in a long time that I don't jump on the new iOS beta from day 1, unless they implement most of those which I highly doubt.

Good amount of info for those like me who have never jailbroken their phone. Looks like you get android like customization with this and I want to try it now.

Yeah and I'm pretty conservative, I have a minimal amount of tweaks because I like to keep it simple and just get stuff that is useful to me. but there are a ton of things you can do aesthetically. I've always said that jailbroken iOS is the best operating system in the world because you get the best of both worlds.

Based upon recent trends in IOS I'm expecting a new feature where launching Settings will occasionally cause your phone to catch fire. This will only work on the yet-to-be-announced $2000 iPhone.

Owners of older iPhones will still have the same great experience of random hangs when opening Settings.

I know I'm the "only" one but I don't care what the screen or ICONS look like I care what happens when you press on the ICON

I heard they maybe increasing the animation speeds of iOS, does this rumour hold some weight?

We’ll be able to tell you in 11 days!

We probably have the broad brushes of what Apple is planning now. It’s the little polishing things like sped up animation that we’ll have to wait and see on, perhaps until several betas in. They’ve got 2 hours of stage time to roll out major updates to 3 (or even 4) different OSes, so something like that will probably appear on that “word cloud” slide they frequently put up at the end.
