Apple hosted its big iPhone event today, where it announced three new iPhone models (the iPhone Xs, Xs Mac, and XR), as well as a new iOS 12 upgrade that will fundamentally change the phone of everyone has an iPhone 5S and up (or iPad) and should be out in the very near future.
What's changing? For one, your device will start shaming you for spending too much time on it...but only if you want it to. The new Screentime feature will let you see exactly how much time you're wasting spending on your phone every day.
As Buzzfeed recapped it, you'll also be able to set the amount of time you want to use certain apps (like Instagram) and get reminders from your phone when your time is about up.
