A way for people to learn about what their phone can do. Most people I know don’t watch WWDC or the Apple Keynotes and won’t know about announced features unless they’re prominently featured in a commercial or a power user shows them.
I asked my dad (early 60s, fairly tech-savvy) to measure a box for me using the Measure app, which he wasn’t aware of. He’s been an iPhone user for a long time and upgrades every few years. Short of me telling him I doubt he would have found it. Same with AirDrop, Widgets, and shuffling/disabling his home screens. Shortcuts blew his mind.
iOS is more capable than ever but the intuitiveness that made iPhones great for the young and old alive has disappeared.
