Apple’s so good at pushing out these kind of “little” features that immediately feel like a kind of bare minimum a system should do. Having to use a system where these two things weren’t automatic, quick, and practically flawless would feel like taking a big step back.
See also: Live Photos. I wouldn’t even consider any kind of phone or camera without that feature, now that I’ve experienced it.
[edit] context of how good it is: some days back there was a link here that went to an image with a bunch of text on it. I followed the link, read it, and did my usual compulsive-text-selection thing I do when reading on the web.
I didn’t realize I’d been looking at an image, rather than html, until I came back to the thread and read complaints about it. Double checked, yep, it was an image.
