UPDATE: Have an Apple Watch? There are 40+ changes in watchOS 11 –> https://youtu.be/H_eacIZ56sQ
What's your favorite feature in iOS 18 so far? 🤔
HomeKit has always been my favorite feature to look forward to and I’m a little sad there wasn’t more done with it this year. However, the feature like connecting your energy account to HomeKit is a welcomed update to HomeKit, however I hope they add support for other electric companies like AEP. Looks like as of right now, it only supports PG&E at the moment.
As always, fantastic video!! Looking forward to this years Betas!!
Are we able to a pic as background in our text messages
Apple was cooking
It's a small fix but they finally fixed the calculator app to show all the numbers on the screen, especially when you're dealing with alot of numbers and sometimes you forget what your putting when adding. I had to download a third party calculator app because it was so annoying. And I hate math but this is a huge help
Most of the new features don‘t seem to work on the se 2022. Or do they? 🤔

Are the Eye Tracking and the Music haptics features only for Iphone 15? Because I have an IPhone 11 and I don’t have the features
I actually liked the "Playing Next" idk why I prefer it that way!!!
I feel like the UI was also very consistent through apple apps and UI but nowadays they are straying further away from synonymy and I fear its going to make things a bit more confusing/harder to learn than before
19:40 I can't believe they are sticking with that terrible menu.
No landscape mode 😔
You’re 31?! I would’ve never guessed!!!!
Finally they get somewhat close to an actual update
Homescreen icons looks bad actually with new changes than it inhances the look.. its worst
Looks great, but notice that there are only about 20 or so new (and honestly amazing) features, the rest is mostly bringing ios up to android standards 😅
I do wish that wifi and bluetooth upon tap actually turns it off. I find the "Off until next day" abit redundant.
SOS
I don’t know why they prioritized airdrop over mobile data. I barely use it and now I have one more page to go through for my data and bluetooth as well. wish they’d let us change it so we can swap out the options in that stack
So far i am loving the ios 18 ❤ i hope one day i can grow my channel like yours 😊
This is a win for apple because for the past couple years they’ve been getting away with selling the same phone at a higher cost for years. Finally they listened to their customers. How will they top this next year? Only time will tell.
The circular control center icons makes it all feel off. I wish they would keep all the new features but keep the design how it is in iOS 17 🙁
This is all just too overwhelming
crazy how they didn’t even talk about most of these
Wow, great job. Thank you.
How this video is able to play in PIP but not other videos are playing in PIP 🥲
I'm sorry, but the control center is hideous. I LOVE you can customize it, but the redesign of the circle icons and icons to the right look so un-apple like feels like an android
snicker jiggle mode…
I hope that you’re going to cover changes to the Apple Booke app
apple kinda cooked with this one ngl 😭
33:02 In my beta there is a black mode in the edit section
Can you get a black mat where you record?😅 (my eyes burn)
They are cooking!!!
Android phones were doing it for ages , iPhone users are overhyping it hahaha
the tinted icons are hideous and the dark icons would work if they hadn't just made every single icon black but actually took their time to make them cohesive with their light theme counterparts.
Excellent work!
dont use it below iphone 13 your phone will be lagging very hard like mine, it also keeps retarting my phone after like 10 minutes i use it
How do you do this small calendar
Is it only for the new phones ? 😭 I have 14 plus
You are so real for having Don Toliver in your music library
If you are playing music on Apple Music, on a Bluetooth speaker, it creates a shared play session for others to connect.
Jobs and Ives would never let this junk happen – are we android now? Too busy and noisy – just bad bad UI choices – now we got laptop size phones that don't fit in our pockets, told more buttons, get to "make" our own UI, open to free unapproved apps … Apple to me is forgetting who they were. Pure junk!
Lots of fun updates. I wish they put contacts in the menu in messages. I would love to be able to share a contact right from that menu.
The new apple music in iOS 18 looks exactly the same as the apple music on android (samsung) from the google play store.
