@petebrown I can see why someone wouldn't care too much if they don't use an iPad but I still thought the Apple sign in, single share location, and Voice control (not for me but very cool for the people it is for) were very cool features and advancements.

@ChrisJWilson Yeah, to be clear—I'm only speaking for myself. It falls into my general category of “Different people like different things.”

@petebrown very true. And it sucks when there isn't too much stuff for yourself. There seem to be a lot of little details here and there (the new volume display for example) but it doesn't seem as crazy as some past releases. The main crazy stuff seems project catalyst but if you're an iPhone user, that probably means very little.
