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.

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

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

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

[@BrandonButch]

Absolutely!

[@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 ?

[@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!

[@hrhf7ns7821]

I don’t see that and I have the 15

[@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!😊

[@jss27560]

Interesting and useful video. Coming from Android I have a lot of questions as there are differences especially where things are located and what options are available. Will have to view your other videos about it.

[@pamelad4116]

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.

[@DarkHorse-qd8bl]

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

[@summoner20012005]

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

[@Jonahbade]

Same here huge upgrade from the 8

[@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. 😉

[@lifeasaunie]

great video Brandon. quick question on my iphone 13 in settings under battery > battery & health and in maximum capacity my battery is actually 100% right now so when it comes to the auto brightness and turning it back to off will that effect my battery capacity like lower it from the 100% or not? thanks. 😊

[@jeremyhelquist]

Standby mode is cool if you don’t have sleep focus mode. I want to use as a bedside clock, but have a sleep focus so it will timeout standby mode (blank locked screen) if it’s enabled

I'm a senior citizen who has just bought an iPhone 15. I bought it simply because I can no longer do without it. I have no idea how to use it. I thought this video would help me. It's too technical and too complex for me to follow. KISS - keep it simple...! It would also help if the presenter did not talk so fast!

[@lindatague9112]

Add this is the third presenter I have tried, he actually talks slower than the other two! It does help to set the setting at a lower speed, but sometimes, usually actually, it’s too slow then. I don’t know why nowadays it seems so many people just talk too fast.

[@SugarSugarCreek]

I promise, just spend a weekend pushing buttons so to speak, I promise it WILL get easier, you’ll see that it’s intuitive

@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?

[@robhamilton8993]

Great information on new iPhone 15. I just got iPhone 15 pro max. Love it but hope u can help with one thing that changed. My 12 pro used to give a sound notification when I received a new message.
