This is amongst many other updates as it will be directly added to the desktop and rearranged to be aligned with the user's respective preferences. When one widget is being used, the others will fade away to ensure that it is not obstructing the user's productivity. Additionally, if these are already set up on their [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notchnook), then they can be seamlessly transferred onto the computer as well. For those that game, there is also the launch of Game Mode which helps with minimizing audio latency in [AirPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adam-elements) and also doubles the Bluetooth sample rate in order to bring down input latency with other wireless accessories.
