Apple is moving into the short-term lending market. I've always thought that's for people who can't use a credit card for a purchase, which usually means you don't have a credit card or are living paycheck to paycheck. So to me a bit of a stigma to it.

I haven't heard of City Experience although it's an outgrowth of the 3D views that Apple Maps has had for a few years now. The generated buildings get more and more detailed and you get enough of an idea that you will be able to recognize nearby buildings by shape as you travel.

Apple News My Sports sounds a little interesting. Although currently the sports news I see on Apple News tends to be from click-bait sites rather than good news sources since I don't have Apple News+.

Family Sharing I don't use so iCloud Shared Photo Library I probably won't use.
