Hi there!

I've just upgraded my Mac and iPad OSes to 27 and found some interesting features that I haven't seen listed elsewhere:

- Screen mirroring to iPad now accepts touchscreen inputs

- iPad menu bar can now be always turned on

- The sidebars aren't floating, just like before Tahoe

- Decreased window border radius

- Increased resize window area

> Screen mirroring to iPad now accepts touchscreen inputs

This is a useful feature

The Shortcuts app can now take instructions in English, which seems quite useful too

Yeah, that's true! I find it very boring to create automations manually, this will help a lot

I enjoy the ethernet status in the menubar in lieu of WiFi. Finally.

How do you do that?

I think you need to prioritize the Ethernet device in network settings but I'm not at my Mac now to check.
