Apple  has released OS 13.2 and iPad OS 13.2 for the iPhone and iPad. This update features the usual bug fixes and security improvements. But Apple is also adding a handful of new features to its operating system.
First, OS 13.2 brings a ton of new emojis. The company now officially supports Unicode 12.0. You can now create all possible combinations of landholding-couple emojis regardless of gender or skin tone. There are new accessibility-focused emojis, such as a service dog, people using wheelchairs, prosthetic arms and legs, a person with a white cane and more. There also are new animals, a yawning face and new food options.
If you have an iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro, OS 13.2 enables Deep Fusion, an image-processing feature that should make your photos look better thanks to machine learning-enabled processing.
It’s also worth mentioning that you can now change the resolution and frame rate of your videos in the Camera app directly.
With OS 13.2, you can opt out of sharing Sirs recordings with Apple employees and delete your Sirs and dictation history. Go to Settings > Privacy > Analytics and Improvements to opt out at any time.

    In a season filled with new phone releases such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the Google Pixel 4, the new iPhone 11, 11 Pro and Pro Max impressed me early on. Apple packed its latest phones with a new Ultrasuede-angle camera, an A13 processor, Night Mode for photos, OS 13 and one of the best all-around camera systems found on any phone today. Plus, the two Pro models have improved battery life. 
    Over the past two months, I used the iPhone 11 as my daily driver and the 11 Pro as my work phone. During that time, CENT has also done in-depth tests dropping the phonessubmerging them underwater and comparing their cameras with other phones. Here are my thoughts on both these phones over the course of my usage.
