You can also capture live photos and 4K video. The iPhone SE starts at $399 for 16 GB, but if you take a lot of pictures, you better get the 64 GB model for $499.

4. Just want to relax? Apple TV has been upgraded
Since you'll surely be tired from all those outdoor activities, you can now go home and dictate what you want to watch. You can even use the new feature for usernames and passwords.
