The features will come as part of iOS 13, which rolls out on Monday

Apple says the iPhone 13 features privacy that’s built in from the beginning. It pointed to on-device processing of voice commands and features to block third-party tracking as evidence of that commitment.

The features will come as part of iOS 13, which rolls out on Monday. That means most iPhone users will benefit from the upgrade, not just those shopping for swanky new smartphones.

For example, the new operating system gives Siri on-device speech recognition. That means, Siri voice requests don’t leave your iPhone to be processed remotely. Intelligent tracking prevention feature also blocks trackers from profiling you by using your IP address. Email privacy protection also hides your IP address and prevents senders from learning about your mail activity, the company said.

On Monday, Apple released security updates for its iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac computers that close a vulnerability reportedly exploited by invasive spyware built by NSO Group.

Separately, Apple has faced blowback for a now-postponed feature set that’s designed to detect if people have child exploitation images or videos stored on their device. The features were initially intended to be included in iOS 15, iPad OS 15, WatchOS 8 and MacOS Monterey.

Security experts and digital privacy groups including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future and Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), have decried the plan and held protests Monday ahead of the iPhone launch in front of about a dozen Apple stores.

Apple hasn’t said when the feature will be released. On Sept. 3, it delayed the rollout to make improvements and address privacy concerns.

Apple’s fall launch, which was virtual again this year because of the pandemic, tends to be the company’s most important of the year. It’s when the company announces new iPhones, which represent nearly half its revenue.
