    WWDC 2019: WatchOS 6 brings women's health features

    The ability to stream content without a phone is cool, but we personally love the new ability to track menstrual cycles. It's a simple way to monitor cycles and get Fertile Window predictions. This will be available in the Health App in iOS, so you won't need an Apple Watch to use it either.

    WWDC 2019: iOS 13 is official and has a new Dark mode

    Apple is moving fast -- onto iOS 13 next. It's announced Dark Mode that, like the mode already available on MacOS, transforms the visual appearance so that your iOS device will, well, appear darker.  With a black background instead of the usual white, supported apps will also swap their light backgrounds for black, and their text is reversed, too.

    The new iOS will also bring with it a SwiftKey-style keyboard swiping feature.

    WWDC 2019: Securely log-in with Apple

    Apple is now talking about app logins. It notes Facebook and Google logins can be used to track you. It has an alternative option: Sign in with Apple. Apple says it is a "Fast, easy sign in... without tracking." You get authenticated with your device, and you're logged in with a new account without revealing personal location.

    Some apps may ask for your email, so Apple will let you create a random address that forward to your real email. Each app gets a unique random address. "This experience is meant to let you have control over your data," Apple says.
