00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:09.120
before the first iPhone it was expected that maybe you'd get bug fix updates

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.080
from your carrier if you were lucky now

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.480
Apple users statistically update within 1 to 5 weeks of a new release amazing

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.240
how things change so quickly isn't it and so many things have changed in the

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:25.359
latest iPhone update that they might change the way that you use your iPhone

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:30.240
so what has changed in the 15th major release of iPhone

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.640
OS what if if they're not going to call it iOS on iPads they might as well call

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.640
it the old

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.239
name I've been using the iOS 15 beta for a little while now and unlike Android 12

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.520
apple is bringing big changes not to the overall look and feel but to new

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:56.640
features and usability improvements that might end up making you more productive

00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.000
starting with notifications notifications now feature bigger icons

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.719
and you now have a configurable notification summary panel this makes it

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:08.080
easier to distinguish messages and actionables from news updates and other

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.960
things that you'll want to look at later what's more you can schedule that

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:14.479
summary to be delivered at a time when you can sift through it at your own pace

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:18.840
you can even mute individual notifications for an hour a whole day or

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:22.640
eternally banish them to the shadow realm right from your notification

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.320
center this goes hand inand with Apple's new Focus setting which only allows

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:30.200
notifications through from apps or people that you specify it's a

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:37.439
legitimately useful feature that lets you well focus on what you're doing be

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.759
it working or exercising gaming driving

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.920
or splunking summaries will show up silently in the notification shade and

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.320
notifications will come through when Focus mode is disabled so no need to

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:50.360
worry about missing something Focus status is shown in iMessage so your

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:54.560
contacts know you won't be able to see their text right away but they can also

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:58.000
Mark it as urgent which will send you a notification anyway a great news for

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.759
both those who respect your personal space and those who don't notifications

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.560
aren't all it's good for though you'll also get to control which home screens

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:09.599
are shown for each Focus that means I can have a focus that has all the apps I

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:13.879
use for work front and center when I arrive at the office no need for work

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:17.440
folders or anything like that then when I get home I can make it automatically

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.560
switch over to personal so lonus can't pester me about how the server room has

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.920
caught fire again it's your problem this time Linus anyway you can also set a

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:31.319
focus to activate at certain times or during certain activities like workouts

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.879
it's all surprising ly useful also useful the Slick updates to find my not

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.440
only can you creepily track family members in real time now actually a

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:42.720
thing that I do because I don't drive and I need to know where my ride is you

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.319
can now be notified whenever you leave something behind be it an i device or a

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.959
compatible tracker like air tags as Jonathan over at Mac Address showed this

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.239
tracking network is legitimately robust enough to handle such a task iMessage

00:02:53.640 --> 00:03:00.000
which has been called messages for a while now is getting more robust too

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.100
there's the questionable stuff like new Emoji am I the only one who's creeped

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:09.720
out by those things anyway the the big thing is much

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:15.959
deeper integration with apps including the ability to share specific articles

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:17.760
web pages TV shows photos and more

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:21.480
directly through a message and you'll also get those shared items inside the

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:24.720
appropriate apps this makes so much sense and I'm looking forward to seeing

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:28.799
if this integration can be done with third party apps as well or if it's just

00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:33.120
an Apple only thing for now I haven't looked at the dev

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:39.120
articles speaking of Apple only though FaceTime is no longer Apple only sort of

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:46.000
you can schedule and share links so anyone can join the call through a browser on a PC or Android frankly this

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:50.480
is such an apple thing to do give the non-believers a taste of the experience

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:55.200
but don't give them the real thing until they prove their dedication by

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.640
purchasing a highquality Apple product yeah it's kind of annoying but it sort

00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.840
of makes sense because FaceTime is also picking up new features

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:05.680
like spatial audio that makes people appear to be speaking from where they

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.360
are on screen and a new grid view that gives you more of an organized view of

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:13.760
everyone in the callic glance add to that a new voice isolation mode for busy

00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:17.639
environments and you got aidable video conference in that but that's not all it

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.519
can do share play gives you a way of watching TV shows and movies together as

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:26.240
well as sharing your screen for remote support or for just showing off those

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.759
photos or apps basically Apple's focus seems to be on making FaceTime

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.560
accessible and useful for far more than than just video calls The Wider web is

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.479
also a focus for apple and I 15 with significant updates to Safari that make

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.800
it a bit easier to navigate although I am finding my muscle memory keeps trying

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.320
to hit the top bar in order to get to the address bar that's now at the bottom

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.280
that's going to take some getting used to but swiping left and right between

00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:54.360
tabs makes me far more likely to actually use multiple tabs on my phone

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:58.240
and brings a feature to Safari that has existed on other web browsers for quite

00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:01.800
a while with that in mind I'm probably not who tab groups are meant for and

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.919
I've got my own VPN account so the new private relay which serves as a sort of

00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:10.639
VPN Light Within Safari doesn't really mean much for me either although it's a

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.160
nice privacy bonus if you've got ipla plus there are other features that are

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.320
pretty useful though like pull down to refresh and the new startup page with

00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:21.759
quick access to your Cloud tabs favorites and frequent sites is a pretty

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:25.160
nice touch if people share websites with you on iMessage they also show up here

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:32.319
even if it's questionable links from your relatives who still don't know what a meme is although you can turn this off

00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:34.720
but Anthony you say these are all iOS 15

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:41.400
features you already told us about you're right voices in my head let's

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.800
talk about the things I haven't told you

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:47.319
about there's a dedicated magnifier app that used to be an accessibility feature

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.560
it uses the camera to take a temporary photo that can be manipulated directly

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:54.199
in the app with helpful filters brightness and contrast controls it will

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.039
be a huge blessing for anyone who's ever tried to read the fine print in the App

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:00.680
Store terms of service another accessibility tool that's going to be

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.800
legit timately useful for a lot of people is per app accessibility options

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.400
so now you can increase the font size on apps with tiny text enable or disable

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:12.840
autop playing video for misbehaving apps or do smart color inverts specifically

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.560
for apps that don't normally have a dark mode just to name a few examples another

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.960
really cool thing text from images and it's not just scanning from the camera

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.840
app like they showed on stage any text input field is able to scan directly

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.280
meaning you can scan say a URL on a sign or a sheet of paper it works

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:35.000
ridiculously well and I can even open URLs from a PC just by pointing the

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:40.360
camera at the address bar LTT Store.com by the way not enough in many Apple apps

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:44.400
including Safari and photos text and images can be highlighted directly so

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:47.520
you can copy or translate it on the Fly do you understand how big that is for

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:52.759
reading and getting information out those terrible image only product

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.160
pages what that's just a me thing that's not even the only thing you can do with

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.639
it a drag and drop is now possible with files text and images so you don't even

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:03.080
need to manually copy and paste anymore more and there's multi-touch support so

00:07:01.479 --> 00:07:07.280
you can awkwardly take a text blurb through a swipe tour of your open apps

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:11.800
they love that there's some new stuff for airpods too it's not available yet

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:14.479
but conversation boost promises to help with hearing conversations over

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:18.120
background noise it's something that I've struggled with for most of my life

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.560
what is available right now though is a neat newer control center icon called

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:25.280
hearing that lets you play back different kinds of noise which can be

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.319
helpful for focus sleep and probably other things I'm not even aware of it's

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.360
kind of fun actually turning up the volume makes water sounds feel more

00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:36.319
turbulent and dark noise kind of feels like the interior of a plane in flight

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.160
this works with regular headphones too notes and reminders can now have tags

00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:43.120
associated with them for easy organization and search and speaking of

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:48.560
Spotlight is more useful pretty much across the board including results from

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:50.599
the web definitions photos messages and

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.280
more although Fresh Off upgrading you'll probably need to wait a while before

00:07:51.800 --> 00:08:00.639
photos are indexed also apparently these are hot dogs nobody said it was perfect

00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:02.000
actually maybe they are hot dogs

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.440
a bunch of little quality of life improvements really add up here like a

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.560
streamlined interface for inapp Apple pay using multiple cards and there's a

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.560
built-in authenticator for two Factor codes with support for autofill and they

00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:17.960
brought back dial controls for setting alarms something I've missed since they

00:08:15.159 --> 00:08:21.800
removed it in iOS 14 it's enough to make Android die hards consider switching

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:25.479
sides they get subscribed by the way so you don't miss a review when the iPhone

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:28.599
13 arrives and if you do join the Dark Side Apple's got you covered with

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:32.159
temporary iCloud storage space for handling the backup and transfer of your

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:36.839
old phone which is pretty sweet if you're not into the whole cloud storage

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:38.680
racket iOS now moves photo albums files

00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:42.919
and folders and accessibility settings from Android devices too if none of that

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.800
impressed you there's even more new features we didn't even have time to

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:50.680
cover even though this is just a beta it's clear that iOS 15 is going to be a

00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:55.640
significant Improvement for pretty much everyone it might not have many

00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:00.399
headliner features I mean mimoji is the second thing on the page here but the

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:05.360
experience that I've had so so far has been much more streamlined and obtrusive

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.680
and at the end of the day that's what you want from your phone isn't it if

00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:15.440
it's not maybe it's our sponsor build Redux build Redux offers Hardware with

today thanks for watching guys go check out our recent video on Android 12 for a

00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:45.079
bit more on the direction Google's been pushing things it really feels like it's

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.519
becoming a same thing only different situation and that's fine
