Apple has released #iOS14, #watchOS7, and #tvOS14. Here's a look at some of my deep dives and past coverage on the best new features coming with these updates! A thread!

First up, everything Apple tried to kill with its new updates.

Picture in picture has been one of my most requested features for iPhone and I can't wait for more apps to support this.

Scribble is an amazing feature on iPads. Been using this a lot since the original betas with my Apple Pencil.

You know I need some #HomeKit stuff in here. Where are my #HomeKitInsider peeps at? Here's a recap on everything new with HomeKit in these updates.

Messages may arguably be the most used app on an iPhone. And Apple has done a lot with it this time around. Here's a deep dive on those changes.

Oh boy... and sleep tracking... I've used this for a while now. Great feature that will get better with the faster charging of Apple Watch Series 6. Here's how it works.

Love love love my #AirPodsPro. And yes -- they do get a *lot* better with Apple's new updates.

Apple Watch is getting a ton of new faces. There are more since I did this original video, but I'll cover those soon in another one.

I mean, how can you mention #iOS14 and #iPadOS14 without mentioning the new Home screen, widgets, and App Library?

Don't forget about macOS Big Sur. I know it isn't released this second, but it can't be too far behind.

Oh gosh! I forgot the additions to CarPlay! Been enjoying these for a while now.

Both the Camera and Photos apps got huge upgrades with #iOS14. There are a lot of details here for these oft-used apps so I think this deep dive is very handy.

To be honest, after the last month or two of using handwashing on Apple Watch, I can at times find it a little annoying when it kicks on unnecessarily. But still a useful feature in these times.

#FillYourRings! Those activity rings! See how Apple upgraded Workouts, Activity, and other health aspects of Apple Watch in watchOS 7.

#ApplePencil has stayed the same for a few years now, but Apple continues to make it more powerful. Here are how it improves this year on iPad.

Lastly, for now, testing Spatial Audio on AirPods Pro that we mention in the earlier vid. Huge difference it makes. Game changer people!

Honestly, I can't believe how much I've put out on these updates yet there is still so much to do. Overall, loving these new updates and I hope you all do as well!
