Apart from being wicked fast and secure, iOS 13 looks feature-rich with a range of all-new add-ons. As an iPhone user, you may already be considering to give the latest iOS 13 a try. And, I can easily sense that feeling.

Performance varies based on specific configuration, content, battery health, usage, software versions, lighting, environmental conditions, and other.
