Apple Intelligence Steals the Show! iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and WWDC24 Recap

[@IzzyKilgore]

Getting an iPhone 15 Pro felt a little excessive for me at the time, but now I'm starting to realize that it was worth the extra money.

[@SASXec]

It’s their marketing. And by this step they are losing some genuine customers . At least they have consider 14 top end phone.

[@Emlt]

So do I. At the time I did it for the new A17pro chip and x5 telephoto lens. Now, I realise the extra RAM was worth it.

[@awesomenessmike7629]

Great job getting this out so quick!!!

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Will go more in-depth on the Primary Technology podcast this evening

[@_sparrowhawk]

I'm most blown away by Math Notes, that is some crazy tech

[@beardfm]

Math Notes is WILD

[@Marciap17]

Thanks Stephen for summarising in such short time. I watched live and I got lost. A bit overwhelming for me. I look forward to your future videos with more key points on each OS, and that’s a lot of reviews 😅

[@beardfm]

Glad this summary was helpful! And yes, LOTS of other videos to make now too 😉

[@beardfm]

Oh sorry! Those links are in the description too

[@lindenstromberg6859]

Finally, an answer to what those neural cores were for from M-1 onward.

[@beardfm]

Exactly!

[@jayduck75]

I wonder if the HomePods will even be able to use the new Siri - they currently are pretty useless with pretty much any request/question being responded with “I’ve pulled up some results on your iPhone”.

[@jfigarr]

I have the same question? If SIRI improvements are directly tied to  Intelligence, does it mean any non-compatible device “gets stuck with dumb SIRI?

[@beardfm]

It doesn't look like it...which is unfortunate. Trying to learn more.

[@MeowtualRealityGamecat]

Wow I just upgraded to iPhone 15 and that was expensive, now they are saying I will not get all this stuff?

[@beardfm]

You'll get many iOS 18 features, but Apple Intelligence is 15 Pro and newer, or Macs and iPads with < chips

[@smaad7]

basically yes

[@yonkocommander5531]

What was the last time Apple gooned their users this bad if they didn’t have the most recent iphone?

[@shewhoisaudacious]

You did such an incredible job summarizing the event. Thank you Stephen.

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@AZisk]

with insane speed you pull out a vid!

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Tried to be fast but thorough

[@interwurx]

Finally! For every iOS update I have requested scheduled texting. It made it!!!!!

[@beardfm]

It's here! Honestly pleasantly surprised!

[@mikebedford4362]

Any news as to whether journal will be available on Mac and iPad?

[@beardfm]

Looks like it's not coming this year, unfortunately

[@MiamiCoffee2023]

Stephan is always amazing, I remember seeing him on TWiT chatting with Leo Laporte!

[@beardfm]

I've had the pleasure of being on a few times! Thank you 🙏

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@PixZTech]

Can u explain on ur next vid if the “Apple intelligence “ features are gonna be on the A17 pro and M chips only or are they gonna be available for devices that support the latest OS ? Bcs I’m confused

[@beardfm]

Apple Intelligence specifically is A17 Pro and M chips only. But certain features built-in to macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, like Safari Reader with summaries, will be available to everyone with that OS

[@MeowtualRealityGamecat]

This is going to make people feel there phones are out of date already. I thought I had a up to date phone when I got my iPhone 15 and was happy, now I feel I have lost out already.

[@PixZTech]

@@MeowtualRealityGamecatyeah I fell u man but Apple can’t really do nothing about that bcs it requires powerful chips with neural engines and AI processing power and stuff like that to fully utilize the Apple AI features

[@bamhamer]

I swear to god if they don't allow me to finally remove photos from the camera roll to folders I'm gonna riot

[@beardfm]

That's desperately needed

[@bamhamer]

@@beardfm it's one of my biggest problems with iOS tbh... 30k photos and i can't sort them because apparently apple devs don't know how sorting pictures work...

[@beardfm]

There's some improvements on if actions, but need to dive deeper to see if there are new abilities.

[@alexwaynemiller]

Would be cool to see a beta review from you! I am fighting the urge to install. Will probably at least wait for public beta like I did last year.

[@beardfm]

iOS 18 beta video coming for sure!

[@ajjones64]

Thanks for your recap. More straight forward and less 'showy'.

[@beardfm]

Tried to highlight the most important stuff! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@jamesbullo]

Glad to see some practical uses of AI and iOS getting more useful Android like features.

[@mikebedford4362]

A big frustration of mine is that you cannot change font and font colour in Apple Notes on iPad or iPhone - do you know if this will be available? BTW, love the dub dub summary. It was fantastic. Keep up the fantastic work thanks

[@Shhheye1]

Yeah it’s in there. You can highlight text and change it. You’ll likely see it in the more in depth videos that will come out later

[@beardfm]

Appreciate that! And more fonts would be nice for sure

[@Slimeotron]

Is Apple intelligence only for the 15 pro max?

[@beardfm]

iPhone wise, it's 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max only, plus iPads and Macs with Apple Silicon M-series chips

[@GreyAlive]

Great as always Steph! Waiting for the podcast 👍🏼

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Podcast is up!

[@GreyAlive]

@@beardfm Great! watch charging up before going to run = podcast being downloaded…I’m gonna hear it in a few minutes! 👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩

[@PocketUau]

So are we getting the new Siri on old phones without the AI bonuses, or are we stuck with the old one that can’t send a Check In “just yet”?

[@jfigarr]

Same question here? And what about SIRI on TV, HomePods, Watch?

[@beardfm]

Unclear at the moment, will need to do some testing, but it looks like many of the Siri improvements are Apple Intelligence only

[@ReactsRiot]

I’ve been waiting for videos on it. You’re the first one I saw up so here I am great video!

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Tried to do a thorough summary, fast!

[@sharonb.9128]

Great recap. Apple gave a masterful presentation today that I fully expect to get trashed by KZbin tech-bros. I don’t know how you digested all that information so quickly and also give the best highlights! I’m also sure if this WWDC follows the pattern much, much more was not even mentioned at the keynote and we’ll discover with the Betas.

[@beardfm]

Really appreciate that! And I'll be digging into their pages to see what features may have been missed

[@stephenmarks4927]

Really looking forward to your future videos!

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it!

[@zacharywilson3260]

With Vision OS if you connect with your Mac thats in continuity with your iphone would you be able to use your iPhone that way through Vision OS?

[@beardfm]

Possibly, but you'll still be using the phone via trackpad via visionOS. Would really prefer direct iPhone to  Vision Pro integration

[@JeffPom]

I think the SharePlay Remote Control works on iPhones also! My mother has an iPhone and lives 3 hours away - this will be SOOOO HELPFUL!!!!!!

[@beardfm]

That would be amazing! Will need to test

[@JeffPom]

@@beardfmI saw it on a site somewhere, but now I can’t find it again. Please test. iPad to iPhone, iPhone to iPhone….. Mac too??? I didn’t see that, but OMG it would be great!!! (I used to work in cellular sales and I have an 80 year old mother with an iPhone who is 2 1/2 hours away. I NEED THIS. 😂)

[@JeffPom]

@@beardfm I see that you saw that it is possible! Is it inter-device too? Can I use my Mac to draw on and control my mom's iPhone? or use my iPad to do that?

I am wondering if the Apple Intelligence and Siri - will transfer to HomePods.

[@beardfm]

I'm truly hoping, they need more intelligence for sure

[@semi.elsharef]

I am surprised that Apple developed a Password app rather than a Passkey app??

[@beardfm]

Passkeys are in the Password app though!

[@ToddPage1987]

Of everything announced the one thing that I'm thinking "man, that'll be great!" is the ability to control an iphone from the macbook. It'll make all the increasing annoyances of two-factor authentication less painful if I can swipe into my phone on my laptop screen......

[@beardfm]

Do you not have those 2FA numbers in iCloud Passwords?

[@ToddPage1987]

@@beardfm there are several sites where I have to use a second hand authenticator (like google authenticator or microsoft) and it won't let me use even biometric auth on the macbook keyboard. SO aggravating.

[@KJ-ql4nm]

Explain why Apple intelligence isn't on Vision Pro?? it's available for all devices with M1. Vision has M2. I paid $5000 for low optimization

[@beardfm]

True, or HomePod where Siri really needs improvement.

[@caroline_catbridges_kitty5384]

I knew that I was getting zero ai features from the start 😢

[@vernearase3044]

TBH, started watching your stuff because I got you confused with that NASA engineer who produced weird gadgets like that glitterbox for porch pirates - but found your stuff interesting as well. Half my life runs on well considered decisions, half on serendipity: Welcome to my life. I think Apple Intelligence is brilliant, and look forward to trying it. I'll _definitely_ be buying an iPhone 16 Pro Max when it comes out. Betcha a small fraction these features will roll out with iOS 18 launch, and features will show up throughout the following year in fits and spurts with software updates. These are features that will really matter to me whereas most AI stuff until now have left me sort of cold and unimpressed - like the most impressive stuff was also the most concerning (like deep-fakes). Feels like Apple should be shoving a lot of these on-device models into EPROM to reduce load times and memory occupancy, but what do I know?

[@beardfm]

Glad you stumbled across the channel! And Apple Intelligence feature will definitely be rolled out gradually. Excited to try them though!

[@clintonhender144]

My question is does the 14 pro max get the new siri or not i don’t care about AI

[@beardfm]

Unclear what about Siri goes to older phones, but it's safe to say that anything showed off in the "Apple Intelligence" segment is not coming to Siri on older phones

[@supereldian]

11:09 AI hallucination LOL

[@brainscott]

Apple Intellegence also means until 3rd Party apps fully integrate, you will have to really take advantage of using Apple's 1st party apps and be deeper in the Eco system to take full advantage of all the new features.

[@beardfm]

True, but Apple announces lots of APIs and I think developers will race to adopt them quickly for first mover advantage

[@DeepSouthMS3]

Our poor iPad Mini. I guess we won’t get any of this?

[@beardfm]

It'll get the nice Safari features, messages updates, password app, etc

[@shazamcawdwell3426]

Wow im lucky i got the 15 pro max

[@dharmasworld]

I have to say iPad OS seems to be so left behind in all this. They’ve launched pro iPads but the experience is anything other than pro. I’m trying to use my iPad as my main computer as it has more than enough processing power by the software is just buggy and frustrating to do things that have been easy to do on a Mac for decades. I realise they can’t make the iPad like a MacBook as it’ll eat into their own market share but still. I won’t be buying an iPad Pro again that’s for sure. This update doesn’t offer any obvious fixes to those fundamental issues and I suspect that they never really can fix them.

[@beardfm]

I was really hoping for more on iPadOS too

[@Dansco195]

I understand that Apple is trying to get all of THEIR Apple products to work with one another. But it is rather discouraging to see that there is no attempts to get their OS Systems to be able to work with Microsoft Software Products. I use a lot of Ham Radio Products that work very well on Microsoft Computers. But the Ham Radio Software that has been developed for the MAC are lack luster at best. Apple was promoting how Game Developers have made their games work with the MAC, IPhone and IPADS. But why is Apple not working with other Microsoft Software Developers to get their products to work with the MAC OS? That I just don't understand.

[@gerawan]

Great recap, but Apple seems desperate, as it should be. Too little, too late. They should have OWNED AI, but they’re behind. It’s time for Tim to go. Siri is a frustrating mess due to Tim’s inability to manage the Siri team. Today’s presentation was a kitchen sink of stuff intended to convince us they’re meeting the AI challenge. I’m not convinced, nor are investors (Apple’s stock dropped following the presentation).
