Tim Cook, the president of Apple, claims that at the moment the company is working for iOS 13 to new functions for iPhone meant to make us use our phones less. Apple has implemented in iOS 12 a new function called Screen Time, allowing the monitoring of the daily use of phones, and the temporary blocking of access to certain applications.
Tim Cook says that Apple's goal is for people to use iPhones to improve their lives, to do things they couldn't do before, without using them excessively. The president of Apple says that he was amazed by how much he used his iPhone every day, picking it up from the table more than 200 times a day.
iOS 13 comes with Features designed to REDUCE iPhone Usage
To help people use their iPhones less, Apple will also implement new features designed to help us pick up our phones less often. Tim Cook has not yet detailed the changes that will be implemented in iOS 13 to help people reduce the use of the iPhone, but they will probably be some serious ones.
We make money if we can convince you to buy an iPhone... but I don't want you using the product a lot. What we want to build are products... to enrich your life. … Do something you couldn't do without it. ... That's what gets us excited. What we're trying to do is give the parent the controls. There's no standard for parenting, as we both know. People have different views about what should be allowed and not.
iOS 13 will be released in the fall by the Apple company, and other important functions that will improve the user experience will be implemented for the iPhone. The problem for Apple, however, lies in the fact that the Screen Time function consumes a lot of battery when it is active, so people could be forced to use their phones less because they are left with reduced autonomy.
