WEBVTT

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:13.679
just kidding it's me ion I need help with okay that's not quite how the call

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:17.880
screening feature in iOS 17 works but if Apple's demo can be believed the real

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:22.560
thing is going to be even better I mean that alone is enough to get me to

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:27.720
consider an iPhone and there's way more I'm talking contact posters checkin

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:29.640
FaceTime video mail and air tag sharing

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:33.160
I mean that last one was barely even a foot note in Apple's keynote but has

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:38.840
been generating a lot of Buzz here at the office I mean it's a fair question

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.120
what if I need to find my wife's keys

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.559
I'm really impressed I mean sure a lot of it's not new whether we've seen it

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:50.079
before in Gmail or Whatsapp or even just plain old Android but the whole package

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:54.680
looks like a big quality of life Improvement for iPhone users and it puts

00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:00.000
everything you might want all in one place everything except this segue to

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:04.080
our sponsor switch pod this isn't your run-of-the-mill handheld tripod it's

00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.280
lightweight Compact and nearly indestructible you can experience the

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.080
freedom of quickly switching between handheld and tripod mode in seconds

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:16.600
check out switch POD at the link below with contact posters when you call

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:20.640
someone you get to decide what their iPhone displays whether you want a more

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:24.360
professional looking black and white head shot or a silly pick of yourself

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:30.159
photoshopped onto a gorilla the possibilities are endless but don't

00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:35.320
worry there's also a new content filter system that should block any unsavory

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.720
content whether it's in a contact poster or an incoming pick or video I'm not

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:44.200
sure if they came up with this out of the blue or if it was that guy airdropping a dickpick on a crowded

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.360
plane last year that lit a fire somewhere at Apple HQ the Mac Address

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:52.680
team did some quick testing by the way and the filter does appear to work

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:56.680
though I wouldn't be surprised if jerks find creative ways around it I mean have

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.520
you seen a Call of Duty Lobby lately it's better than it used to be but uh

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:04.640
life finds a way another call Related update is called

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:11.080
live voicemail which is what I was talking about in the intro and this is

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:14.000
so cool on the recipient side it lets

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:18.519
you view a realtime transcription of any voicemail that is being left so you can

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.599
either leave your ex pathetically pleading to have you back to a machine

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:27.800
or you can decide you want to pick up the call and tell them no in real time

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:33.720
you can also turn on silence unknown callers and send new people straight to

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.640
live voicemail I love this I mean for

00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:41.200
anyone born after 1999 this may surprise you but this used to be the norm people

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.040
would screen their calls all the time by just listening to it being recorded on

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.519
their answering machine then picking it up if it was someone they actually

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.840
wanted to talk to and apple brought it back and one thing live voicemail does

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.200
better than an answering machine is that it can autore reject any calls that your

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:01.680
carrier identifies as spam that's a feature Android already has but hey it's

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.319
nice to see Apple keeping up good job little buddy now something else they've

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.200
caught up on at least compared to third party chat apps like WhatsApp and

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:14.799
Discord is interacting with text messages they've implemented swipe to

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.680
reply so if someone sends you 15 texts

00:03:14.799 --> 00:03:20.480
in a row and you really only want to reply to one of them from the middle you

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:25.560
can now just swipe right on it instead of holding to reply that way they know

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:30.000
haha cool story refers to the bit about last Friday night and not the recent

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:34.239
death in their family catchup is also so new if you open your phone to a giant

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.159
wall of messages you can just tap the arrow and it'll take you to the top of

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.720
the Unseen messages I mean I don't think that one's a huge deal personally but

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.959
I've also never been in a hyper toxic relationship so your mileage may vary

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.200
speaking of toxic relationships you can now use check in to let someone know

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.000
that you've reached your destination okay joking aside this actually would

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:58.439
have been a great feature for me just yesterday my badminton coach was

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:01.439
freaking out because his wife said I'm going out then he missed a call from her

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.840
around the time that she should have arrived at the mall he tried to call her

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.640
back a few minutes later many times but even though she's usually really good

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:13.040
about picking up nothing which doesn't

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.680
seem like a big deal but let me put it this way as a husband and a dad I know

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.199
what would be going through his head did she call cuz she's at the Walmart and

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:24.040
wanted to know if I need anything or did she call because she's bleeding out on

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:29.400
the side of the road and she just wanted to hear my voice one last time before she dies with check-in he'd have known

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.720
that everything was fine and she was at the mall and we could have started our

00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:37.600
session on time I also see this being amazing for anyone who's going somewhere

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:43.199
new or meeting up with someone for the first time until you check in it tracks

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:48.039
your progress and will ping you for responses which will notify expecting

00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:52.000
parties if you don't respond with helpful information like your location

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:56.080
your battery level and whether or not you have cell service all of this

00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:59.280
information is end to-end encrypted by the way just in case you were worried

00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:04.639
that Apple suddenly got lacks about security and if a friend who already checked in

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:08.080
heads somewhere else they can just send the new location to you with a simple

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.919
tap from the plus button it'll go straight to your conversation no more

00:05:10.039 --> 00:05:15.280
exiting to another window this is going to be a great way for people to help

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:20.560
their friends stay safe and another location related news you can finally

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.400
share air tags got a dog that you like to keep track of but your partner's out

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:28.800
walking her well now you can just share that air tag and you can both keep track

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.560
together you can share with up to five people just be careful who you give

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:36.840
access to since they will be able to play sounds to pinpoint the air tag

00:05:34.520 --> 00:05:41.639
whenever they're nearby another big Improvement is the revamped search

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.720
function now with filters in Apple's own words you can find the message you're

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:52.080
looking for Faster by combining search filters to quickly narrow your search

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.639
honestly wow thank you this is something

00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:58.919
that Android can't do yet and if it works as advertised it's going to be a

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:03.919
game changer I mean I can't stress enough just how frustrating a bad search

00:06:01.479 --> 00:06:09.759
function is yes Windows and Microsoft teams I'm not just looking at you I'm

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:11.240
staring into your soul do better please

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.080
and there are some more message specific updates like finding all of your most

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:18.960
used iMessage apps by tapping the new plus button along with the ability to

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:23.840
create stickers from objects and photos react to specific messages with those

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:26.440
stickers or my personal favorite audio

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:31.000
message transcription don't you flip and hate it when someone sends you a voice

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:34.720
note or an audio message and it's not a convenient time or place to check it

00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:38.080
right now because you know you have a life maybe you're deaf and someone

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:43.120
you've been communicating with online doesn't know that and they send you an audio clip well with this feature you

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:48.280
can say goodbye to that annoying back and forth and say hello to just reading

00:06:45.880 --> 00:06:55.560
what they said for real though this is a fantastic upgrade and feels just as much

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:57.039
convenient as it does inclusive love it

00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:02.280
and if you like communicating through FaceTime that's also gotten a few albeit

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.759
more minor updates now when someone misses your call you can just record a

00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:11.840
video or an audio message and send that off which continues Apple's iOS 17 trend

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.560
of improving on voicemail and FaceTime is also coming to more devices those

00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:20.720
messages we just mentioned those can be checked on your Apple watch and you can

00:07:18.039 --> 00:07:24.639
now connect your iPhone to your Apple TV as long as it's second generator

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:28.080
actually there are a lot of asterisks about model specific features in this

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.560
rundown but assuming you've got the right Goods you can finally use your

00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:35.520
iPhone as your camera and your TV to display who you're talking to just make

00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:41.080
sure you're wearing a button-up shirt from LTT Store.com so you look sharp during that call tell you every year we

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:45.879
get closer and closer to living and back to the future I mean first Trump becomes

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:49.400
president now your Apple TV can sort of call someone but what about when you're

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:52.759
not using your phone and you want to completely ignore it well Tim Apple

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.720
decided that that's simply not an option so Apple has added new standby features

00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.199
soon you'll be able to display key info while charging your phone like a claw

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:05.400
talk in calendar you can display Precious Memories or even just the music

00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:08.800
you're listening to and you can use live activities to show more pertinent

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.400
information like how far along your delivery order is or who's winning that

00:08:10.840 --> 00:08:18.599
game that you bet on but don't care to watch because you're not actually a sports fan you're just a gambling addict

00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:23.120
Siri hopefully that didn't trigger your phones um can also bring up information

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:28.199
for you in standby now which is pretty neat and it's even easier now that

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:33.039
they've removed the hey from hey if feel like being more direct you

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.000
can also interact with widgets right from the lock screen or from standby

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.279
which is super handy if you've got a smart home but your hands are too full

00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:44.080
to pick up and unlock your phone actually the first phone I had that I

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:48.320
could interact with things from the lock screen was a uh Droid something the one

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.480
with that ballistic nylon back it was freaking amazing oh airdrop is also

00:08:51.040 --> 00:09:00.079
getting worked on in a number of ways with one of the biggest feature updates being the ability to just walk away and

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:04.200
let your transfer finish that's right if the network drops or you can't wait

00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:08.360
around you can just allow the transfer to complete over the internet as long as

00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:13.880
both you and the recipient are signed into iCloud that's not out until later

00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:15.680
this year but it sounds great they've

00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:19.760
also made sharing your name number and other files easier letting you airdrop

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:24.160
just about whatever you want simply by holding your iPhone near someone else's

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.839
and a big feature that's sure to kill basically every third party journaling

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:32.399
app is Apple's new Journal it's also

00:09:28.839 --> 00:09:34.040
coming later but looks pretty robust and

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:39.000
should allow you to save your memories however you want to almost like a

00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:40.160
digital scrapbook this isn't really new

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:45.040
I mean people have obviously been journaling in their respective mediums

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:48.680
for hundreds even thousands of years but now you've got an official app which

00:09:46.560 --> 00:09:53.480
will be synced to iCloud using endtoend encryption the app will make suggestions

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:57.959
from time to time but this processing is apparently all done on your device and

00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:01.880
apple says that not even they can view your Journal speaking of third party

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:05.240
apps getting sherlocked you can now make grocery lists that automatically sort

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:10.399
items into categories for easier shopping pretty neat but not as neat as

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:14.920
Apple finally getting its own PDF reader that can view and mark up PDFs research

00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:18.560
papers and more it even has enhanced autofill so that you can use saved

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:24.079
information from contacts to quickly fill out a PDF or a scanned document

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:27.959
super cool but wait there's still more seriously man I'm considering it better

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:32.320
autocorrect and predictive text like you've got in Gmail so Safari profiles

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:36.240
to keep work and home separate autofill Verification codes from your mail visual

00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:41.959
lookup to research objects in your photos password and pass key sharing

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:43.800
adaptive audio for airpods offline apps

00:10:41.959 --> 00:10:47.920
it just keeps going they've improved quite a few things here and I'm of

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:51.440
course happy to see that but one of the biggest ones is one I haven't talked

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:56.079
about yet the health app they've got an entire separate page for this because

00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:00.399
aside from it finally coming to iPad there are some new features it'll be it

00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:04.480
coming soon but new features that look very promising especially these days

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:08.639
with Medical Care being harder to access and tons of people suffering from long

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:12.279
covid symptoms soon you'll be able to use more devices to better track

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.480
medication and know if anything you're taking could interfere with it you can

00:11:13.959 --> 00:11:18.800
check your sleep metrics with insights into sleep stages share your health

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:23.279
issues with friends and family who might be involved in your care or even search

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:27.120
up your own medical records what's truly new though are the mental health and

00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:30.880
vision features need a reminder to keep your phone further from your face how

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:35.800
notification that tells you to get some sunlight soon your iPad and your iPhone

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.959
will be able to do just that on the mental health side you'll be able to log

00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:43.600
your momentary emotions and daily moods to see what states correlate with

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:47.440
lifestyle factors and you can take standardized mental health assessments

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:52.160
to see if you're at risk for depression or anxiety the however here is that

00:11:50.839 --> 00:11:57.680
while it's nice that this is going to be available to a lot of people it is not a

00:11:54.800 --> 00:12:00.639
replacement for proper health care and you shouldn't rely on your smartphone to

00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:03.680
die diagnose you if you're suffering from anything serious I would highly

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:07.440
recommend you get checked out by a physician remember these devices are

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:12.079
fantastic little tools that have certainly come a long way in the last 16

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:17.440
years but they can't be trusted to solve everything you know who can be trusted

00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:21.000
me to tell you about our sponsor if you enjoyed this video maybe check out our

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:26.440
latest Android update video because there are some pretty cool things

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.440
happening over on the other side as well
