14 DAY TRIAL // iOS 13 is a major software update by all means for both old and new iPhones, and the list of features coming to users with this release is impressive, to say the least.
One of the refinements that Apple is working on as part of iOS 13 concerns the Wi-Fi support and the hotspot feature of the iPhone.
Apple says that iPhones will come with full support for WPA3, which is the latest and most secure wireless network standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In other words, your iPhone will be able to connect to a WPA3 network just fine after the update to iOS 13.
Furthermore, Apple will introduce a new option that will allow iPhones to keep an eye on the Wi-Fi networks around them and determine which one is being used. You’ll get a notification if a network is available, and this should help guarantee seamless connection on the go.
Hotspot tweaks
When it comes to the hotspot feature that’s already available on the iPhone, Apple has several ideas in mind to improve the experience with it.
And one of them is called automatic personal hotspot, which means your nearby devices can automatically connect to a hotspot set up on an iPhone when no other Internet connection is available. The same thing for family devices, as they can also look for a nearby iPhone and connect to its hotspot if their Internet connect is lost.
iOS 13 also introduces the concept of persistent personal hotspot on the iPhone.
“Remain connected to your nearby iPhone personal hotspot even when your device sleeps, so you can receive incoming messages and push notifications,” as per the Apple description.
iOS 13 is projected to go live for all supported iPhones in September this year, but developers can already try out the very first beta.
