iOS 13 launch – as it happened: Apple release date, iPhone 11, new watch and how to download

Apple unveil new iPhone 11 Pro with three rear-facing cameras

Apple hosted its biggest event of the year, showing off its biggest products and updates.

Alongside a whole host of new products – from the new iPhones to updated Apple Watches – and a variety of different services, Apple finally revealed iOS 13 once and for all.

The company revealed the release date for the new iPhone operating system, as well as showing off any new features that were hidden when it was first revealed over summer and have been stored up for the launch of the new iPhone. iOS 13 has been mired in mystery, with the tech giant cutting off features as it rushed to make it available to the public.
