Apple has unveiled updates for iPhone, Apple Watch and a host of other products – as well as its most powerful computer ever: the Mac Pro.
The company made the announcements at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, in California on Monday.
It revealed all the major software updates that it will push out to the Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV later this year.
Unlike other events such as the iPhone reveal, none of these new updates will require paying up for new products. Instead, they will come in the form of operating system updates, which will bring a whole host of new features to most existing iPhones.
Apple unveiled iOS 13, for instance, the new software that will power the iPhone. It brings with it a new dark mode, better multitasking features, and changes to the way the phones store health data.

This was rumoured just before the keynote began, big news.
But it's all to demonstrate how iPadOS supports, among other things, multi-window capability, split-view from within a single app, pop-up previews, and keyboard shortcuts.
"We're bringing desktop-style browsing for Safari on iPad," Federighi says.
Everything until now feels like filler. This is the headline news. It is a monster of a computer.
It looks like a cheese grater, but this is all to make it possible to cool its the hugely-impressive components inside, all powered by a whopping 1.4 kW power supply.
