Better searches with Spotlight, annotation in email, DuckDuckGo as a search engine built in, the “Handoff” feature, and the ability to have private browsing tabs in a separate window. The handoff feature is probably the least useful, as it only works with other iOS devices, but it’s still nice.

Pop an identical key off of each keyboard key (letter q for instance) and see if they are exchangeable between keyboards. If they are, swap your old keys over to the new keyboard, careful not to mix them up, and then whichever new keys still haven't moved, those will need either a better sticker o
