I know it's a small thing, but I have to wake up early several days a month to perform a production health check at work, and I love the smooth integration:
1. Roll out of bed
2. Put on my Apple Watch
3. Unlock my iPhone with FaceID as I'm walking to my laptop
4. My iPhone unlocks my Watch by the time I get there
5. I tap a key on my keyboard, and my Watch unlocks my laptop
Unfortunately that smooth integration comes to a crashing halt when I have to log into my work VDI, but the Apple ecosystem is a very warm, welcoming place.
