whatcdon Pixel Watch 5

My favorite Apple Watch feature is Camera Control for group photos. I love how you can see a live preview of the photo and it gives you the ability to zoom.

Not only that, Fortnite has full cross platform support for PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series S/X, some Android phones/tablets, Nintendo Switch, and of course iOS and iPadOS when Apple and Epic weren't fighting. Fortnite definitley has a stigma around it for the younger demographic and toxicity, but from an engineering perspective it's pretty amazing.
