To be fair, New, Stocks, and Voice Memos are really there as the first public tests of UIKit’s Mac port. And desktop icons might not be a huge deal, but I’m glad to see Apple acknowledging that they’re useful and continuing to improve it, in contrast with major Linux distros removing files from the desktop entirely. For the Mac App Store, developers have been complaining about how subpar, useless, and stagnant it’s been for years. If the new version can drive customers to buy things, it’s a potentially big deal. Personally my favorite features are dark mode, fingerprinting protection in Safari, and improved security of the camera/microphone and sensitive files. UIKit will be a big deal for the Mac ecosystem when developers outside Apple get it next year.
