## What Jamie wrote

You may not be looking for a 23 "page" writeup on the new version of iOS but these reads are by far the best way to know what all has changed, and MacStories does these better than anyone else. The stuff I’m most excited about…

- [Focus and Notifications](https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-15-the-macstories-review/4/#content) is big. I love the idea of focus modes.
- The revamped [multitasking](https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-15-the-macstories-review/6/#content) interface for iPadOS.
- I’m a Shortcuts power user, so the [changes there](https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-15-the-macstories-review/10/#content) are important. 
- [Safari Extensions](https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-15-the-macstories-review/17/#content) coming to iOS is a big deal. 
- [Reminders](https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-15-the-macstories-review/18/#content) getting support for tags makes me think it may be useful, but I still will rely on OmniFocus.
- Live Text looks handy.

If this isn't enough, [Six Colors review](https://sixcolors.com/post/2021/09/review-ios-15-does-a-lot-with-a-little/) is also good.
