Tech analysis of iOS 27.3 features (Part 3)

In either direction. I have not found a need for that feature, but obviously some people with smaller hands are going to want that. I tried it out. It's a little finicky, but I assume by the end of the beta cycle it'll work as advertised. There's also the new standby mode. Better widgets, better customization. That's coming from the iPhone duo over to several other iPhone models. So that's nice to have. Safari has added a few extras. There's now vertical tabs. So instead of having the tabs under your menu bar, you can have them on the left side of your display. This is coming to all of Apple's platforms that have the Safari web browser. I tried it on the Duo, I don't like it. I have not installed it on the Mac yet. We'll see what I think of it there. There's adaptive dark mode, which means if you go to a website while in dark mode on your on your Mac or your iPad or your iPhone, and they don't support dark mode natively, Apple will adjust their website using the their own protocols to make the website background dark. It is advertised as a preview, so we'll see if this is something that sticks. The other big one is the Health app. The Health app has been completely revamped. They have a new longevity tab. They have a biological age button and it takes a little bit of time to set it up. You have to do some motions and movements and workouts for the camera to understand you and implement your data into the Health app. Uh, if you're a dev or we're on the public beta of 27.2, it was there removed and this is coming in dot three now. Haven't used it that extensively, but visually it looks like a big improvement already from the Health app, which has been pretty crappy for years and basically gives you a bunch of data and tells you nothing. You, you gotta do a little workout, a little bit of shimming and running in front of the camera and then it judges your age. Not a workout like, you know, some muscle adjustments, moving your arms and legs for it to get a better sense of, you know, you and your ability to move and whatnot. And this would be in sync with the Apple Watch, presumably, right? Well, this is using the camera on the Health app. I don't know if it pairs to the Apple Watch, but there's a new Fitness plus thing called Gym Strength, which is new strength training plans that you can customize in the, in the Fitness app and that obviously works with, with the Apple watch. But the biggest thing when it comes to this iOS 27.3 release actually comes down to Siri. And I've been using Siri AI since the first beta release back in June. I know being where you are in the world, you have not been able to.
