This is a good example of a feature that is actually useful. But it is also one that has been around for a long time. Can you think of something more recent?

- Transparent text selection in images a few years back was the kind of magical thing I didn’t know I need, but now that I have it any platform without it feels broken.

- I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but Preview was just about the only thing keeping me on macOS for my personal computing, rather than going all iPad/phone. Now it’s on iOS, as of the (otherwise terrible, maybe my least-favorite iOS release yet and I hated 7) version. Provided it’s close on features, that’s one of the only things I’d have missed going iOS-only, gone.

But I can’t think of anything between those two.
