Tidbits:
Photos uses on-device machine learning to recognize individual cats and dogs in the People album, just like friends or family members.

- Sensitive Content Warnings can be enabled to prevent users from unexpectedly being shown images containing nudity in Messages, AirDrop, Contact Posters in the Phone app, and FaceTime messages.

And later this year, AirDrop will add the ability to continue transfers over the internet when a user steps out of AirDrop range. FINALLY!!

Point and Speak, which helps users who are blind or have low vision read text on physical objects by pointing.


Just a quick scan.
For those of you who didn't know, FaceTime messages have already given you the ability to create a link that windows and android users can use via web browser, to participate in conferencing. First try, this didn't work for me, probably because of limitations on the windows user's end. More here:
