Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

Logitech Crayon in Gray, Ember Mug 2, and More Added to Apple's Online Store
Apple has added a new selection of accessories to its online store this week.
For starters, the Logitech Crayon is now available in a new gray finish, complementing the existing silver option with red accents.
Priced at $69.95, the Logitech Crayon is a lower-cost alternative to the Apple Pencil. The drawing tool features a slim aluminum body and an Apple Pencil-like tip, with the same latency, tilt, and palm rejection that you get with the Apple Pencil. Unlike the Pencil, however, it lacks pressure sensitivity.
The Logitech Crayon is compatible with the sixth- and seventh-generation iPad, as well as the latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini models.
Also new to Apple's online store is the Ember Mug 2, which is slightly thicker than the original version of the temperature-controlled mug, allowing it to maintain the chosen temperature of a drink for approximately 80 minutes, up from one hour. We've reached out to Ember to see if there are any other changes.
The companion Ember app for iPhone or Apple Watch allows you to set your precise drinking temperature for hot beverages, track caffeine consumption, save presets for your favorite drinks, customize the LED color, and more.
The new Ember mug is $99.95 for the 10-ounce size, up from $79.95, while the 14-ounce mug remains $129.95.
Next up is the Lumos Matrix smart bike helmet with an urban design and integrated front and rear LED lights to alert drivers to your presence when cycling in the dark. The helmet also has turn signals and automatic warning lights on the back to alert people behind you that you are slowing down.
The Lumos Matrix helmet is $249.95 in white or black. The helmet can be controlled with the included remote or the Lumos app for iPhone or Apple Watch.
As we reported earlier, the Xbox Wireless Controller is also now listed on Apple.com, although it is currently unavailable to purchase. As of iOS 13 and tvOS 13, the Xbox Wireless Controller and PlayStation DualShock 4 can be paired with an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV and used to play games on those devices.
Other accessories added to Apple.com this week include the MeeBot 2.0 programmable robot for kids, an iPhone-connected kettlebell with six weight options, the Native Union Drop XL wireless charging pad, an iPhone-mounted LED light for improved photos and videos, and more.

I like that Lumos Matrix helmet. I may just buy it and walk around with it on for no particular reason other than this is almost 2020 and it looks cool.o_O:p

I own an original Ember mug. As someone who works from home and has a toddler, best purchase ever. There would be days where my coffee was ice cold before I could take a sip before. Now I keep it at 135 degrees F all the time. Love my Ember.

Lumos Matrix smart bike helmet ('https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HNNN2ZM/A/lumos-matrix-urban-bike-helmet') , when you want to look like Daft Punk while riding your bike.

Maintain temp for 80 minutes? If its a heating device that I assume is plugged in, why can't it maintain temp indefinitely?

I wanted to buy one of the Ember mugs for my wife. She thought it was ridiculous. I looked up a simple coffee heater on Amazon. It works just as well, and I can use it with any existing mug. It costs $10. Why in the WORLD would anyone pay $100 for this thing?
Its the definition of runaway consumerism: "When peoples' basic needs are so well taken care of by technology, they will buy damn near anything", or something like that. Paraphrasing Milo Bloom via Berke Breathed, creator of Bloom County.
Something else to consider: here is yet another device that you need to get a cloud app in order to "make full use" of it. Seriously, you have to download the app and create an "Ember Account" in order to pair the base and the mug with your phone.
If you want a Sleep Number bed, you have to have a cloud account to use it. Then there's the modems and routers that may sit right next to your computer but you need a cloud account to admin them, the streaming music devices and server software that might be playing stuff from your local hard drive but still want you to route everything through their remote cloud in order to listen/watch, and all the lightbulbs/refrigerators/toasters,garage door openers and doorbells that also want you to log in to your home via someone else's cloud.
Maybe one percent of the people I explain this to suddenly "get it". The remainder are split into thirds, fairly evenly, between "so?" and "I don't care, they can watch me if they want, I have nothing to hide, who cares what toilet paper I buy?" and "I know what it means but you're not getting 1/10 of the functionality of that device if you don't access that cloud account".
Society is full of a bunch of slowly boiling frogs.

I'm not the market for the Ember – I only raaaaarely have a hot chocolate – but it is clearly one of those products many just don't understand until they use it. Those who have them almost unanimously love them.

I'm honestly surprised that Apple is allowing another manufacturer of a competing pencil device to work with iPads.
They worked in conjunction with Logitech to make the Crayon. It was cheaper so that schools could get a good deal when buying in bulk. They finally add grey color so now it doesn’t look like a toy

My wife grabbed one as an employee concession (I think it's the original though as she's had it a while) and says it's amazing.
Stop tempting me. (As I quickly search Apples site to look at it more...?)
