My goal for the iOS review this year was simple:

Make it shorter, more reader-friendly, and still packed with details.

I hope you'll like the more 'approachable' style of the story.

I'm also trying something else: new sections labeled 'The Details' throughout the review.

My favorite iPadOS 15 feature?

Quick Note.

I love this feature, and I wrote about it in detail – including the many uses I've found for it.

If you're an iPad and Apple Notes user, you have to look into this.

I've always wanted to have integration between my text editor and task manager.

For this year's review, I teamed up with @finnvoorhees and made it happen.

Todoist Tasks is an Obsidian plugin that connects @obsdmd + @todoist. You can use it too.

In the review, you'll also find a long chapter about iPadOS 15 and all its new features:

- New multitasking menu
- The Shelf (!)
- Center windows
- New keyboard commands + navigation

And lots more. But is it enough....?

The most challenging section for me this year was the Safari one.

In the end, I *really* like what Apple has done on the iPhone. However, I consider the iPad UI a regression from iPadOS 14.

And then we have Extensions.

And for those curious, here are the numbers from my iOS and iPadOS 15 review:

- 47,655 words
- 9 chapters
- 247 links
- 298 images
- 33 videos
- 15 footnotes

More 'Making Of' details coming in @ClubMacStories Weekly later this week.

And lastly, as always:

Thank you.

I've been doing these in-depth reviews of iOS and iPadOS since 2015. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to do this for a living and have an audience that cares about this kind of writing, year after year.

I hope you'll enjoy the review. ❤

And with that:
