I'm glad Apple finally made this name change! Honestly, Apple ID always sounded too complicated. 📢 Apple Account is much more clear and logical. It’s great that the company listened to users and simplified the name.

I also like the new name, but I'm more interested in the new features! 🤩 The ability to share money without exchanging personal information is simply super. It's very convenient and safe. What do you think about hiking in national parks on Apple Maps?

Hiking in National Parks sounds great on Apple Maps! 🥾 I love traveling and discovering new places. It's a great idea to combine maps and tourism in one application. I hope they add even more interesting routes.

And I liked the updated design of Fitness Plus. 🏋️♀️ Recommendations “For You” are exactly what you need to motivate and engage in training. It will be interesting to see how this works in practice.

Oh, come on! 😒 No one needs these fashionable things. Apple is just trying to create hype for their useless updates. Who needs map trips or sharing money via phone? This is all nonsense and a waste of time.
Ксения
Gregory, you are too strict! 😄 These features can be really useful for many people. For example, I often go hiking and would be glad to see new routes on maps. And dividing money without exchanging personal data is security!
Максим
Yes, Gregory, you shouldn’t reject innovations so categorically. 🤔 Technologies are developing, and companies are trying to make our devices more functional and easy to use. Of course, not all updates can be revolutionary, but small improvements are important too.
Елена
I completely agree! 👍 I think Apple is going in the right direction by trying to simplify the interface and add useful features. I like that they listen to users and strive to make their products even better. And I'm looking forward to new updates! 🎉
