Last week’s Apple conference announced the arrival of the new iOS 12, due to be released to the public later this year. Along with it came some new features which may prove useful for journalists.

Amongst them are Apple News becoming available for desktop, Siri having the ability to give users latest news about a topic, and a faster camera loading time.
