Several features in iOS 13 are primarily focused on enhancing the iPad. It's likely that Apple will introduce a new feature allowing the display of multiple windows within an iPad app using tab view, a multitasking feature enabling the display of 2 windows of the same app simultaneously.

- Mail App:

New features in the Mail app that users can anticipate include options to mute notifications for incoming emails from specific email threads.

- Cross-Platform iOS and Mac Apps:

In iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, Apple introduced a new framework to bring iOS apps to Mac. Some Apple apps exclusive to iOS, such as Stocks, Home, and Voice Memos, have already been adapted for macOS.

In iOS 13 and macOS 10.15, Apple is planning to expand this functionality for developers. This facilitates the process of bringing and refining iOS apps on macOS.

New emoticons and emojis won't be available in the iOS 13 preview and beta releases but will be included in the official iOS 13 release at the end of this year.
