It’s my second time watching this type of video content from you. Always helpful! Switched from 12 to 15 and it feels like a big jump! A couple of tips I didn’t do on my phone since I availed of apple care so I feel braver to use the phone’s capabilities. Thanks for showing 15’s camera upgrade as I find people are focusing more on the pro

[@jons355]

I'm upgrading from a XR and unsure whether to go for this or a Pro, but sure either will feel like a massive upgrade

[@nackle_k]

Problems with the first item listed: there's no section under SETTING > GENERAL > ABOUT entitled BATTERY; therefore, not CYCLE COUNT. Why go further? UPDATE: unlike the description in the video, CYCLE COUNT in found only after going into the BATTERY HEALTH section.

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

These tips are so helpful especially the one about checking the battery cycle count. I had no idea about that feature. Also the info on the USB-C port and data transfer speeds is great to know. Thanks Brandon!

[@BrandonButch]

Glad you found it useful!!

[@PK-dt3xf]

The battery cycle count feature is new. There was previously a way to obtain this data but it wasn’t as easy.

[@niharikamotukuri5535]

@brandon it’s just been a week that I bought my phone and my cycle count is already 7 is that ok ?

[@vanavana.s]

i got my iphone in December 17, and now my battery cycle count is 24, is that okay?

[@man0fsteal]

My new 15 pro does not have the battery cycle count, Mfg date or First Use - I just received it from Verizon. Upgraded my iOS about 2 hours ago. Does this vary by carrier or country? - Update, it's under the Battery Health screen!

[@weeklyfascination]

Setting the Action Button to magnifier is a gamerchanger! Now I can read the microscopic text on a label when I'm in a store. The ability to check how many times the phone has been charged is also incredibly useful. Mine is new!

[@SueE17]

Yes! It can save me constantly putting glasses on in the kitchen so as to read labels. Great idea!😊

[@summoner20012005]

Thank you! From iphone 8 plus to 15 plus. This is helpful.

The control panel lock feature is very important. Thanks for mentioning it

[@pammied52]

I wish someone would do one of these videos for seniors. This is the second one I have watched where the narrator is talking so fast.

[@IScreamer]

Totally agree. My solution is to play the video at a slower speed and I find that it does help.

Click the gear in the top right corner of the video to get to settings, then click “playback speed” and then lower it to a demonization under 1.00

What Magsafe charger for iPhone 15 would you recommend? What do you have featured in this video? Looks very minimalistic.

[@billligon4005]

Thank you for the very, very useful information. I'm no a non-techie person but I had to listen and look and repeat the video several times to find the area you were talking about. If you could just make that a little easier to follow, that would be nice. I slowed down the YT video because you were talking very fast, which worked well. Thanks again.

[@ItstheGr1m]

Do you have the 15 or 15plus ? Because that might explain it. The action button is only for the pro and pro max

How did you do the calendar on the Lock Screen? 😮

[@scattered_rain]

Please tell how 😮

[@babeyoulove1883]

Love your work mate - I just switched from my old 12 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max today. You know why? Because I accidentally shattered one of the camera lenses on my old phone. 😬 Anyway, this new one is pretty awesome, but if you're rocking the 11 Pro Max and your battery's still hanging in there, I'd say don't bother upgrading. I see it like this - your phone is just a tool. If it's still doing everything you need it to, why mess with a good thing? Once it starts acting up and causing problems, that's when you should consider an upgrade. And seriously, if you're constantly getting a new phone every year, you're basically just making those tech companies even richer. 😉

[@african_chris]

@BrandonButch is there a reason Siri can no longer play “my favourite song” when asked to? After the update Siri started telling me that he can’t read my mind whereas before he would play a station made specifically made for me which was quite accurate and amazing. Also, the Apple Music queue and lack of prompt when playing something that’s not queued and erasing the queue. Can you please shed more light on that?

[@thetattooedguy1413]

So you’re supposed to keep your battery between 80% ( max ) and then around 20% minimum ? Correct

[@HoneyPastry]

Useful info. Upgrading from XR, and while it's still an amazing phone, I have some catching up to do when it comes to all these new features lol. Thanks!
