<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-copy-paste-across-devices">1. Copy-Paste across devices</h3>
<p>A highly useful feature is the ability to copy text or images from one device (like your iPad) and paste them on another (like your Mac). This works seamlessly when Handoff is activated in your settings, saving time and streamlining tasks. This is likely the feature I use most frequently among all those mentioned.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Universal Control</strong>: This feature lets you control both your Mac and iPad with the same keyboard and mouse, keeping both operating systems active. Its most utilized aspect is the ability to drag-and-drop files wirelessly between devices as though they are a single entity.</li>
<li><strong>Sidecar</strong>: Use your iPad as a secondary display for your Mac, ideal for multitasking or enhancing your workspace.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-screenshot-annotation-with-ipad">3. Screenshot annotation with iPad</h3>
<p>Capture a screenshot on your Mac and quickly annotate it using your Apple Pencil on your iPad. The marked-up image is then saved directly back to your Mac. This feature is incredibly handy for signing documents, sketching notes for creative projects, or highlighting information to share with others.</p>

<p>One feature I appreciate about the Apple Watch in conjunction with MacOS is its capability to serve as a substitute for TouchID, simplifying processes significantly. You can quickly unlock your Mac using your Apple Watch, saving time while maintaining security. Moreover, it allows you to autofill passwords with iCloud Keychain, eliminating the hassle of manual entry. While logging into websites or apps, your Apple Watch seamlessly collaborates with your Mac, providing a stress-free experience regarding password management.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-airpods-seamless-connectivity">5. AirPods seamless connectivity</h3>

This seamless functionality positions them as the ideal multipoint headphones for Apple users, allowing for effortless transitions without interruption. The convenience of automatic pairing ensures a hassle-free audio experience, making them an indispensable accessory.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-vision-pro-virtual-display">6. Vision Pro virtual display</h3>

This feature provides a fantastic productivity boost for professionals, gamers, or anyone looking to elevate their work experience futuristically. While the adoption of Vision Pro continues to grow, it's a notable advancement for Apple’s ecosystem.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-iphone-mirroring-on-mac">7. iPhone Mirroring on Mac</h3>
<p>The iPhone mirroring feature allows you to project your smartphone's screen onto your Mac, fully interacting with it.
