Waiting for the second part
All the applications did not enter my mind except the camera application
Apple is backing down.
Welcome Mr. Bahattab! 🙋♂️ Don't worry, the beginning is always difficult, but with time you will get used to the applications and find them easy to use. 😊 Also, the Kino application is one of the best applications for shooting videos professionally, so if you have a passion for photography, you will find special enjoyment in it. 🎥👌 As for your opinion about Apple's decline, I can assure you that Apple is always keen to provide the best and innovation in all its products, so perhaps this change is part of a new strategy! 😉🍏
Unfortunately, I did not like the young lady's choices for these applications, although they may be something essential for others.
