Apple is bringing new features to the Health app that aim to make it easier to identify, measure, and understanding health changes over time.


Mobility tracking will soon capture a new Walking Steadiness metric to assess your fall risk, by measuring speed and evenness of gait. Apple will leverage the data to generate a classification of your steadiness and how it changes over time.

Apple is also adding detailed descriptions to help users better understand lab results. These will enable you to see whether results are in expected ranges, and allow you to get additional info on the metrics. And with Trends, you'll see long-term changes for metrics like steps, sleep, and so on.

There's also a new ability to share your health data with your physician in a secure way, allowing doctors to see health records and spot trends over time.

For its new mobile and desktop OSes, Apple is overhauling the Safari user interface to be more compact and allow for better organization of multiple tabs, including a new feature called Tab Groups.


On macOS and iOS, a new tab design puts your active tabs front and center, and on iPad, tabs and tab groups work just like on Mac, with instant syncing across devices. On iPhone, a new tab bar appears at the bottom under your thumb with a tap, and it's possible to swipe between them, or swipe up into a grid view.

Meanwhile new extensions for ‌iPhone‌ and ‌iPad‌ also add to the native functionality of Apple's web browser, with shared code with existing Safari Web Extensions to make it easier for developers to create new ones.

It’s never easy to move to a new city. Though there are lots of great reasons to relocate—a new job, a relationship, graduate school, cheaper rent, a thirst for adventure—relocating to an unfamiliar place can be disorienting and isolating.
