Themed App icons for third party apps
A lot of people complained about the lack of themed third party icons in Android 12 and 12L, but now developers can supply a monochromatic app icon and a tweak to make the app icon adaptive. It will be initially on Pixel devices, but Google is working with other OEMs to bring them to more devices.
Update: The feature works, Mishaal was wrong on this one

Android 13 adds a smart idle maintenance service, which intelligently determines when to trigger filesystem defragmentation without hurting the lifetime of the UFS storage chip.

Known issues in Android 13 (so far)
Android 13 Release Notes
Android platform
• In some cases, suspending the device while a USB-C headset is plugged in causes the device to crash and restart.
• On some devices, bright sunlight prevents the fingerprint reader from authenticating the user. (we assume that this is about the Pixel 6 & 6 Pro and their under display scanners)
• In some cases, the Android system intelligence process consumes a large amount of battery power.
Apps
• In the Camera app, switching to Lens mode causes the camera preview to display a black screen.
• In GBoard, long pressing on backspace won't delete any letters, just single taps. (kudos to @AndroidAsh for the tip)

Android 13 includes Google's internal Camera Obfuscator app.
Alex Dobie
The app removes EXIF data (phone model, camera sensor etc) before sharing it to other apps. I don't think this is supposed to be public, we'll try to get ahold of the APK for archive purposes.
Update: Mishaal Rahman told Android Police that this app is in use internally, but doesn't usually ship in production builds.

Mishaal Rahman
The feature, originally added in Android 12 has been expanded by adding a toggle to show the permission usage from the last 7 days, instead from the 24 hours.

Android 13 has added a clipboard auto clear feature.
YouTube
This feature, which is disabled by default, will automatically clear the primary clip from the global clipboard after a set amount of time has passed. By default, the clipboard is cleared after an hour has passed matching Gboard’s functionality.

There's a new user switcher on the keyguard
Esper
Multi account usage of Android 13 has been improved. The passcode page shows a large user profile switcher on the top (portrait) or on the left (landscape). This feature is disabled by default but is controlled by the SystemUI boolean

New media player UI being tested
Esper
Google is revamping once again the media player UI in Android 13. The new work-in-progress UI features a larger play/pause button on the right, a progress slider and media control buttons on the bottom, and the media info on the left. Currently, the new media player design doesn’t show album art, but that may change in a future preview release.
This new design is not active in Developer Preview 1. To enable this new UI, a SystemUI flag must be toggled.

Android 13 gets a "Tap To Transfer" feature inspired by iOS' Handoff
9To5Google
Google is working on a new “Tap to Transfer” feature in Android 13 for smart speakers. The feature allows media apps to move playback to a compatible device by moving your phone close to that device. The feature does not work currently as it hasn't been implemented fully. It isn't known how it works, as Google's speakers don't have NFC or UWB.
