Apple Intelligence on iOS 18.1 is AMAZING! (here's how to use it)

[@BrandonButch]

ChatGPT integration, along with Genmoji and other features are coming with iOS 18.2 in December! Here's a look at those features: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqi4aparqN6kfZY

[@BrandonButch]

To my EU squad, Apple announced that Apple Intelligence support is coming in April! So you won't be left out for too long

[@Madcowe]

APRIL?! T_T Welp, at least it isn't "never", that kinda sucks but thank you for the heads up! :)

[@RiqMoran]

6 months 🤣😹

[@BrandonButch]

@@Madcowe exactly, most thought 2026-2027 earlier in the year.

[@AndySchuylerVlogs]

@@BrandonButch I’m bummed that I didn’t get Apple Intelligence on my iPhone XR because it’s not supported with iOS 18.2!😢

[@Madcowe]

@@BrandonButch guess I'll continue using my phone manually then. Like a CAVEMAN! 🤣

[@RaynFemaleProducer]

I downloaded 18.1 but that option isn't available to me. Do you have any thoughts on why it might not be offered?

[@SophiOnYt]

Just found out you need to join the “waitlist” which I thought was weird, thought the update automatically included this

[@carohely]

Same for me with a 15plus

[@AlokTripathi]

One stop for everything. I don't care about Apple's Release Notes, but I jumped to your video and I have kinda trust you cover everything. Great job, Keep it up!!

[@BrandonButch]

@@AlokTripathi I appreciate that Alok!

[@deonnilbahian1257]

So what will be the purpose of upgrading my 14 pro max to IOS 18.1 if the whole update was only for 15 & 16 series? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@goheadfoehead]

You get some features just not them all.

[@realquadmoo]

It's frustrating as someone with a 14 Pro because my phone is more than capable of having Clean Up, but it's Apple Intelligence so I won't be getting it

[@eveylopez6742]

Well maybe if they didn't skimp out on the ram to begin with more older iphones could've gotten AI

[@catacosmosis]

This is the only reason I came to the comments. It’s so annoying. I’ve had my 14 pro max for barely two years and am still paying for the damned thing every month on my bill. It’s RIDICULOUS that these features aren’t available for iPhone 14 - especially clean up. Then again, this kind of BS happens all the time with Apple and I always say, “I’m not getting another iPhone,” for this very reason but always end up just upgrading because I’ve spent so much money in apps I can still access over the years. The only thing that makes that problematic this go around is that pretty much all those apps, many of which I paid for outright years ago, now require weekly or monthly subscriptions. Like, no. Screw you. I used to be able to pay for something once, whether it was $.99 or $20+ (I have a couple old school photo apps that were a bit pricey back in the day), but that wasn’t so bad when it was a one time thing. Now most of those apps charge upward of $20 A MONTH for full featured access. It’s ridiculous. There is ZERO reason technology should continue to be this expensive (except greed, of course). I’m 46 years old, though. I remember when 512MB of memory cost $100. 🤷‍♀️😂😂

[@lachlanlau]

draw things allows the use of stable diffusion on iOS

[@darkangelm2k]

That's something very apple, and they are not selling así before... So they are telling you that you need a new phone and pay for it!

[@ajgreen868]

That’s because they know people will buy the newer phones for this feature.

[@jkapc8396]

The main new features are summarizing, rewriting, and searching, but there's no imagined ability to utilize the app, which is a bit disappointing

[@BrandonButch]

@@jkapc8396 that was never expected in 18.1, that’s coming in a later software update

I rely on siri when I drive instead of having to go on my phone, but damn it frustrates me when it does not understand what I am trying to say no matter how simple the request is. This will be a game changer for sure

[@mattwarner5912]

Great video as usual. Everyone saying how Apple intelligence isn’t anything special and other companies have done this that or the other before, don’t you realize that’s one of Apple’s basic plans. Take what every other company does that’s popular, streamline and optimize it, put it all in one ecosystem and sell it. That’s what many Apple fans love.

[@BrandonButch]

Facts!

[@kbrownsr2020]

Hey Brandon quick question, since using the AI features I’m still in limbo with using Gmail app and apple mail. What do you tend to use more in your experience? Thanks

[@MasterMix291]

I use the Gmail app. Apple mail doesn't have immediate notifications for Gmail messages and still feels clunky to use. Gmail's native app just feels faster to me and has a better UI. I'm sure Google will add the AI features eventually to the Gmail app as they have done on Android.

[@AlexBAlixir98]

Thanks Brandon. Your Video was super helpful with how to make the most of apple intelligence. Hope you do more of these as we get new ai features
