I love the animation right at the start!

Great vid. I’m pretty much baked into Apple Calendar and Mail for work. Though I found myself becoming more productive and effective in addressing tasks with Microsoft To Do versus Apple Reminders. That My Day feature in To Do has been amazing.

If connected to the iPhone, do mics like the Rode Go II, are being powered from the iPhone's battery? Is a power consumption level quite significant?

I have made the move from 1Password to Apple Passwords and like Apple Password so much better. I am exclusively on Apple devices and Apple Password just works better on those devices. Plus it's one less subscription and my spouse is also willing to use it for shared passwords, which is great. I am a bit worried about lock-in so not cancelling my 1password subscription just yet, but I don't think I will be able to justify it much longer.

I have the same problem. At work I basically set every task as a calendar appointment and then move these appointments around to essentially time block my days and all files are stored in a PARA section I setup for my department on the company network. However, at home I have found it much harder. I have iCloud, OneDrive and Google Drive, photos spread across all 3 as I have chopped and changed which service I want to use as my primary one. I really got into OneNote for a long time. My experience is that it is not easy but with the benefit of hindsight I would say one system with everything i.e. all Apple, Google or Microsoft would be the best way to go to minimise the mental burden. Since I have always had been a Windows user with Apple mobile devices I have always tried to seek out cross-platform compatibility hence mainly using Microsoft’s OneDrive and OneNote but when I finally get myself a MacBook I expect I will move entirely to iCloud.

As always your video is very clean and straight forward.

Apple Calendar now also shows Reminders on the day they are due in iOS 18.

Great overview. Nice to see you offering an opinion and some context making this more valuable than some of the videos just reiterating the Apple announcements.

I carefully considered both and decided on the 13” iPad M4, even though I have the MacBook M2 13”. I find that I use my iPad a lot more than my MacBook, though I really like the 13” screen size. I like the touch screen on an iPad and the fact that I can detach the device from the keyboard. I had a M1 11” iPad Air and was considering upgrading to the M4 iPad Pro 11”, but decided on the 13”, since the device is SO thin and light. I found that despite the 11” being smaller, it feels really dense and heavier. (It is so much thinner and lighter than the 12.9” iPad’s). Enjoy the 11” iPad. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it - everyone has a different use case and need / personal preference.

this quality of a video shouldn’t get one 1 like

The biggest thing I want now is integrated reminder in a note so you can remind yourself you took that note when it’s slightly more verbose than a reminder and secondly, the “/“ shortcut that notion and Craft has. That quick menu via the slash is extremely useful.

With apple notes is not easy to insert photos because there are auto aligned and also you can’t write/draw on top of the image you need to select the image and go to edit mode. I switched to notability and my productivity skyrocketed

Mark the title in your note and share it to Reminders.

the Notes and Reminders is now linked on the new Beta updates. However you have click type to siri on mac while having the note open and say “remind me about this” the icons also work now

If you want to create a reminder for a note on your phone, just use Siri. Open the note on your phone, and tell Siri "remind me about this tomorrow at 6 pm". It will create the reminder with a link to your note. That trick works for other things too, like Mail and web pages in Safari.

Great video! I picked up the 11" M4 5G about 2 weeks ago and portability is what sold me on it. No matter where I'm at I can pull it out of my backpack and work from it. Being able to use RDP at a moments notice and then jump back into IOS for note taking makes this such an amazing device.

I thought I was going crazy when I noticed my notes links weren’t working on Mac. Thanks for confirming this. Great overview of your system.

Great thoughts and analysis. I use iMac on my desk for heavy lifting but my iPad Pro 13” (M4) has been amazing for me. The larger screen is necessary for my type of work (academia) with multitasking. Regardless, either is a great tablet experience

I got the 11" M4 iPad Pro too as the 13" also felt too big and weird aspect ratio. I am sure it is great if you mainly use it for digital art and the like but for me I found the 11" was just a better overall size as portability trumped the larger screen which really made little difference to me for note taking and watching content, etc.

Hey! Just wanted to chime in after watching your review. I've been using the DJI Mic for a while now and I've found the connection stability to be quite good. And the new DJI Mic 2 even has an audio recording backup feature, which sounds like a game-changer for reliability.

Apple Reminder is great on Mac, but on iPhone I have mixed feelings. It never notifies when a task is due, or maybe I just miss some setting…

if only reminders let us integrate mails to be task their.....

Biill 😃

Your videos are getting better with each upload. Keep the consistency 🔥

I want to try one of these so bad

can you give me the box???

I dream ipad

i bought this 2 weeks ago also the magic keyboard and apple pen even a case

Just downgraded from 14Pro to 13Mini the steel is too heavy

keeping my 14pro and just getting a new battery

Thanks for the insights. What do you think, should I rather get a 16 oder 15 Pro? Should still be a solid phone in about 4-5 years

No it gets better every year im getting one from the us

thanks for the real review

Ipad, gets worse every year.

I'm currently using an Iphone SE 2020 and besides battery capacity and 64 gb of storage it’s still holding up pretty well. However I think it’s time to put it to rest and upgrade to an Iphone 16

the MKE600 sounded very natural, so does the wireless mics. However, the podmic sounded too deep, pretty unnatural. The SM58 in fact sounded more natural than the podmic, not so boomy.

I upgraded last year to a IPhone 15 Pro from a IPhone 12 Pro Max. I usually hold onto a device at least 3 years since majority of the annual changes are mere"bump ups". So I can hold off until the 18 or 19.

Thank you for your honest feedback, I was considering switching from my Apple Watch series 5 to the Garmin 965 even so I really like my Apple Watch Series 5 except the battery. You helped me accepting that I'm not ready to switch eco systems yet, and should consider to switch to the ultra rather than the Garmin.

The MKE600 is my mic of choice. Can’t stop recommending it. 👌🏻

I just got it. Great app. I use it to send my iPhone screen to my iPad Pro. Is there a way to get full screen? There is the huge black bar on the bottom of the feed that I can’t get rid of.

Nothing new really. Same old same old. I have a budget phone that does much more than what apple could do. And its water resistant, omg 😅

Idea is good, May be we could use SS pipe and it won't viberate and cause flickering in the video

Its hard to say upgrading from the Masterpiece MBA M1, to be honest only valid reasons are you use the device professionally and need more CPU more GPU more RAM New Raytracing and can turn the horsepower directly into cash, all other reasons like storage and color or newer Chip Generation are just a "wanna have" So the only valid upgrade from a M1 MBA is directly to a M4 Pro Max (yes at least 4k) you can add storage via an external TB case at a ridicoulous low price point compared to apples price policy . The M2 and M3 do not have enough boost to outperform the comparable M1 in real life just in synthetic benchmarks, old wisdom "not everything that is measurable is relevant" The M4 is a real new fabrication process and has some advantages BUT for a private person these advantages will be completely irrelevant in terms of productivity. For a professional user probably its time to upgrade but that Pro won't come from an M1 MBA, probably from a M1 Pro or Max MBP.

I use 11pro max ,2015 MBP, and Ipad 4th Gen 2020… sony cf500 ear buds and Casio watch…Im getting there😅…

Thanks for this review. It was really helpful. You’re the first reviewer I’ve seen to mention how the internal dividers can interfere with the side access. 👍🏻

Also 1 of them should be on-prem.

Me, who deletes the only copy of every file that I don’t need any more. 👀

I'd give the recommendation of if a backup is on a solid state drive, its not a cold drive. Even on an ssd data loss is possible.
