Ask HN: Lesser known features of macOS/iPadOS/iOS/etc. 27

Hi there!

I've just upgraded my Mac and iPad OSes to 27 and found some interesting features that I haven't seen listed elsewhere:

- Screen mirroring to iPad now accepts touchscreen inputs

- iPad menu bar can now be always turned on

- The sidebars aren't floating, just like before Tahoe

- Decreased window border radius

- Increased resize window area

    > Screen mirroring to iPad now accepts touchscreen inputs

    This is a useful feature

    The Shortcuts app can now take instructions in English, which seems quite useful too

      Yeah, that's true! I find it very boring to create automations manually, this will help a lot

    I enjoy the ethernet status in the menubar in lieu of WiFi. Finally.

        I think you need to prioritize the Ethernet device in network settings but I'm not at my Mac now to check.
