Notes now offers new features that help you stay organised, collaborate and create notes (of course) from anywhere. Quick Note is a new way for you to jot down notes on any app or website. You can also add links from an app to the Quick Note to create context, even on a website in Safari or an address in Maps.

In addition to that, users can worth through projects in Notes with friends or colleagues as you can mention, see everyone’s edits in the new Activity View and categorise their Notes with tags to quickly and easily find them in the new Tag Browser and in tag-based Smart Folders.

FaceTime now comes with a suite of new audio and video features. The company has said that with spatial audio, voices in a FaceTime call “sound like they are coming from where the person is positioned on the screen”. Voice Isolation also ensures that your voice is clear and with the use of machine learning, it eliminates background noise.

Not to forget, Portrait mode taps into the Apple Neural Engine in the MI 1 chip to blur the user’s background, giving a bokeh effect.

Users can now play, present, and share through AirPlay to Mac, from the latest movies and games to vacation photos and presentation from your iPhone or iPad right to your Mac’s Retina display. Mac’s sound system can also be used as an AirPlay speaker so you can play music or podcasts on your Mac, or use your Mac as a secondary speaker for multiroom audio.
