iOS 18 is Bringing This Soon, iPhone Flip is Happening, iPhone 17 Ultra Details & More!

[@BrandonButch]

Apple surprised me this week with BOTH iOS 18 Beta releases! Anyways, how 'bout that Apple Intelligence easter egg? 😅

[@CRAZYWHITEBOY87]

😂 that’s wild man

[@ESCADA23GLOBAL]

What is your source that you have that determines car manufacturers are ditching CarPlay? I have not seen this.

[@JLawsonPHill]

You keep saying in multiple videos that for a fact the new Siri and new design won’t be coming until 2025. I’m just curious where you are getting that from. I went back and rewatched the keynote and the new Siri design and understanding “will be available the moment you start using Apple intelligence”. After the demo that they expand on it and say they are planning on bringing more features in the following year like on screen awareness. I’m just a bit confused.

[@HesperianHorsePower]

@@JLawsonPHill well to be fair Apple has stated launch dates for many things that have been delayed in the past or hell, never came to market at all.

[@HesperianHorsePower]

@@ESCADA23GLOBAL GM and Rivian are the only ones I know of that have stated as much. I don’t think there will be a mass exodus of car makers leaving CarPlay. Tesla is its own deal I guess. Too bad musk won’t allow it on his platforms but I’m sure it all comes down to money. It always does.

[@jonathans7550]

I would never buy a car without CarPlay. I can't live without it. Love my Mazda 3.

[@DenverHarris]

How arrogant these car manufacturers are to think their little startup company software engineers can better Apple’s massive software department and decades of experience.

[@BrandonButch]

I’ll never understand it. Interoperability is key

[@prepped8551]

It’s not necessarily arrogance. It’s good business sense to not rely completely on another company. Let’s say ford (for example) gets fully in to bed with Apple to the extent that they stop developing their own software. Then Apple discontinues CarPlay. Ford is F*cked at that point.

[@left0verture]

You’re assuming providing the best customer experience is the automakers’ priority. Remember a few years ago when the big record companies were suing everybody left and right for downloading music and trading mixtapes? Suing their potential customers? Pre-iTunes, did any of them make any effort to provide a product to satisfy customer demand? Nope. I see the automakers as taking the same approach. Pay a licensing fee to Apple for a superior customer experience? Nah. We’ll contract with Joe’s Software Inc instead. It won’t be as good as CarPlay but who cares? We’ll make $10 more per car.

[@BradleyLarcher]

Really. Car makers are arrogant for not using car play? Didn't know Apple owned them. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Horseghc]

@@BradleyLarcher Yes they are, they believe that their software is better than apples (which it is not) which is by definition arrogance. Also adding a subscription fee for their software to use things like Spotify is nuts. It has nothing to do with who owns who but using the best software that prevents users from using their phones while driving, not having access to basic features, most people will just get their phone out endangering themselves and others because they dont want to pay for a software. Meanwhile i can just press a button on my steering wheel or say "Siri" and i never have to use my hands at all. Just food for thought.

[@Pitsy]

No -no car play is a definite no for me when buying a car

[@kronop8884]

I used to be like that, making sure that I have access to CarPlay until I bought a 2021 BMW 5 series and realised the built in system did everything I needed while driving including built in Spotify support, parking app, navigation in the HUD, weather, news etc.

[@mr.w7803]

If their only argument is that their app can open the front trunk… uh… maybe give people a lever like we’ve done since cars were invented…? If I had to choose between a front trunk button and car play, that’s a no brainer

Exactly. Very weak argument and the clear reason is revenue from subscriptions and locking people into their “ecosystem”

I did buy a 2024 Lexus with wireless CarPlay and wouldn’t have considered it without, even though Google Maps and Waze are available. I prefer Apple Maps - a far cry from the beginning when Apple Maps was first introduced and was terrible.

[@BrandonButch]

Nice! Wireless CarPlay is THE best. Apple Maps has also gotten so much better over the years

[@Gabri3lRocha]

Yup I use to have google maps on my home screen as my default navigation on my iPhone but that DRASTICALLY changed over the years. I now have google maps hidden in my App Library. I mainly just use google maps for reviews since most people and businesses use google reviews. Do people still use yelp?? 😂

[@Gabri3lRocha]

Apple needs to make their own in house reviews for businesses. Sorry I’m not downloading a whole other app Yelp just to read reviews

[@kevinpanzke7346]

I have had no problems with 5GUC connectivity on my 14 Pro Max on T-Mobile’s GO 5G Plus plan! What I have had problems with is accessing my Comcast Business Wi-Fi @ my long term care facility!

Brandon. Really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Very informative. Love the “crazy AirTag stories”. 😂

[@elnietodeanadelia]

Nope. The volume is still broken for me on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, even after the latest update. 😩 Volume remains blurred out and the device pauses content upon touching the screen. Same when connected to CarPlay. No audio on Instagram or Snapchat either. I've tired EVERYTHING and the only thing that seems to work is disabling Siri. Problem is, you need Siri to run CarPlay. 🤷🏻‍♂️ WiFi is also malfunctioning. I may have to restore to iOS 17. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@AponiKitten80]

I wouldn’t buy another car without CarPlay. I absolutely love it. I got my mom to finally use hers on her car so she can be hands free. When I’m on my boyfriend’s car (way older) I miss having the CarPlay feature. If he wasn’t looking to replace one of his cars soon, I’d buy one of those adapters for his car so he could have it as well because I worry when he needs to use his map, call me, or listen to his music when there’s no reception for the actual radio.

[@ryn1192]

Just checked the Apple Intelligence Easter Egg on my iPhone SE 2020 and it is present there as well! So either it was just left there or we might actually get some Apple Intelligence features on older iPhones as well!

[@landengallahar6095]

Could be right, apples tagline is “Ai for the rest of us” or “AI for all of us”

[@landengallahar6095]

If we don’t then they’re speaking a lie and they hate publicity.

[@gailenrique2804]

​@landengallahar6095 Apple AI is only coming to the iphone 16 and above... it could come to the 15 pro and pro max... but anything below will just be standard ios releases. Apple will tease AI as a reason to move up from iphone 12,13, and 14.... and those still holding on to an iPhone X, XS, 11 will have a reason to move up to iphone 16.

The home indicator, so the white line on the bottom of your screen, is now at the Home Screen too. That’s another Easter egg for apple intelligence because you are going to be able to type to apple intelligence instead of speaking to it and that’s triggered by pressing this white line

[@jasonp.edouard2307]

I would only consider buying a vehicle that has CarPlay integration.

[@user-nd5vi2ts2s]

iphone 17 pro max and 17 ultra will have strongly upgraded low light photo/video performance. iphone 17 ultra will also be portless. it will use the new action and capture button, along with its increased water resistance from ditching ports- to be useable underwater in the fashion of a gopro. perfect to pair with apple watch ultra.

[@artfartzy]

I doubt it will be portless, not many will buy the iphone if it doesnt have a fast charching port. Having to use a slow magsafe or whatever to charge the phone is not good. Same for those who use wired headphones, they wont be able to do that. So all in all not good.

[@seanki]

Given how many good cars brands there are with CarPlay I’d never choose one without. Even switched from Tesla because of it

[@JCthe1maximus]

Going forward, any car I buy must have CarPlay or the ability to swap the radio to an aftermarket radio so it can be added.

[@Keithbenzoadvocate55]

I’m still on the public beta and have been hesitant to install the re-release for dev beta 4.5 because EVERY single time I open the photos app and stay in the app for more than three mins, the app crashes and I get taken back to the Home Screen. This is a first time I’ve ever had an app crash on any iOS device. I find it even more strange that the build letter keeps getting pushed back instead of forward. Have you had any issues with the photos app on the re-release? I’ve got an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 16 with a 93% battery health and I get better battery life on my mini than my 14 pro that’s running iOS 18 public beta. Smdh. 😒

[@Itzztimmy09]

Is it safe to install ios 18 public beta on primary device?

[@gailenrique2804]

Alot of reviewers on here say no... especially if it's your daily driver. Beta code is not polished and could behave erratically. Some apps will also crash or cease to work. You're also at risk of loosing data as well. I'd wait for ios 18 to be officially released... but if you're willing to take the risk and can deal with reporting bugs and feedback, be sure to backup your data before you go down the path, just in case you want to revert back to 17.6.

Been hearing rumors about this notion of a slim iPhone 17 for a few weeks now, and I've been considering getting a new iPhone this year or next, but waffling back and forth about it: "Do I hold out and wait another year if it means getting a slimmer phone?" After seeing these spec rumors and seeing that the slim one would be a separate part of the line up - with a bigger screen - I'm almost certainly going to pass on that. I prefer smaller screens (was a proud iPhone 12 mini user for a while), so although I would like a slimmer phone, I don't want to sacrifice the smaller form factor for it. I'm sure it'll look incredible, and I'm happy for the folks who prefer bigger phones - the additional screen real estate on top of a slimmer phone will be quite the look (much like how thin the iPad M4 12" looks compares to the others). Instead, I'm probably just going to get a 16 Pro. Maybe in a few years they'll make all the phones in the line up use the new slim design.

[@tomg234]
