Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 13.6 with several new features. This is a major point update so there is some notable features built-in. You can update to iOS 13.6 by going to the Settings app > General > Software Update. This is an Apple iOS 13.6 review to help you decide whether to update now.

What Does iOS 13.6 Include?

The iOS 13.6 update includes updates to the Health and Apple News app. Plus it also features support for Car Key, which allows you to control your car using the iPhone or the Apple Watch.

The first partner Apple is working with for the Apple Car Key is BMW. And Car Key will work on BMW models manufactured after July 1, 2020.

A “Symptoms” section was added to the Health app. This feature allows you to add symptoms of illnesses and select from options like changes in appetite, dizziness, and nausea.

And the Apple News app features the Apple News+ Audio feature to play the audio of news stories. And there is a feature to continue where you left off reading an Apple News article.

Apple is releasing a daily news audio show called Apple News Today. This is also available through the free Apple News app. The program will be hosted by Apple News editors and co-hosts Shumita Basu and Duarte Geraldino.

“Apple News showcases so much great journalism, and we’re excited to help bring it to life in new ways with Apple News+ audio stories and a new daily news show, Apple News Today,” said Apple News editor-in-chief Lauren Kern. “We also greatly value our many local news partners — our new local news feature highlights their work for readers who live, and are interested, in those communities.”

Reported Battery Draining Issue

Apple iOS 13.6 has reportedly caused battery draining issues for some users. One of the fixes around that is to Reset All Settings.

Importance Of The Update:

I would always recommend installing the latest updates in order to make sure you have the latest security updates. But in terms of the features, only minor ones were added. I regularly use Apple News so I will definitely update as I am curious about the audio news programs.
