13 Reasons Why

This highly dramatic and intense series aired on Netflix back in 2017 and from inception, it has been a somewhat controversial series. First, a trigger warning should be in effect before the start of the series. While it is a teenage drama, the entirety of it centers around sensitive topics such as suicide, rape and mental illness.

Hannah Baker is season one’s first victim, and from there the plot thickens. Hannah Baker commits suicide before the start of the series and season one shows us how she lived, the events that lead to her suicide and the persons who she thought were directly and indirectly responsible.

Even after her death, Hannah leaves behind hurt and panic as her thirteen tapes on why she committed suicide and naming the persons responsible cement the storyline for the season that follow. After the traumatic conclusion that leaves some hurt and others relieved, those left behind find themselves now struggling with the consequences of their actions. This series packs a punch, for those struggling with mental illnesses or have been victims of sexual assault, and persons prone to suicidal thoughts. It’s a risky watch, and some others find it disturbing. It’s interesting to see the aftermath of one person’s heartbreaking decision impact the lives of so many.

If you’re watching, tread lightly. Thirteen Reasons Why is unapologetically scarring.

Pros, Cons & New Features

Every year Apple introduces a new major software update for the iPhone. For 2020, we are presented with iOS 14. This update brings in several new features for the iPhone, some may like and some others may not like. Critics may compare these new features to that of the Windows phone’s app drawer as the concept is quite similar to it. However, loyalists to the iPhone brand may find this update refreshing and here are a few reasons why. The Introduction of Widgets While Android users may have been used to this feature for the past several years, iPhone users are now experiencing the ability to pin different blocks of info in various sizes of their home screen. Apple also introduced Smart Stack which allows users to stack widgets that use on-device intelligence to give you the right widget based on time, location and activity. You'll be able to swipe through the Smart Stack to see different useful widgets.

App Library The App Library will be positioned at the end of the Home Screen pages and it automatically organises all of your apps into folders, such as Social or Recently Added, as well as Suggestions, showing you apps that might be useful at that particular time. Users will be able to choose how many Home Screen pages to display and hide entire pages for quicker access to the App Library.

An Enhanced Siri Siri is getting a redesign in iOS 14, not only enabling it to pop up on the page rather than move to a separate screen but it's getting a host of new features too, including better translation functionality and expansion of knowledge. Users will also be able to start to record and send an audio message using Siri.

Are these new updates for the best? That is entirely your opinion. The new Widgets features breathes new life to your home screen since there would be several personalisation options at your fingertips. The new App Library assists in making your screen look more clean and organised, making searching for your favourite app much easier.
