My Favorite iPhone Travel Tips (That No One Talks About!)

[@DrPepperone]

10 dollars a day!!????

[@BridgetCarey]

Or Verizon charges $100 for the month if it’s longer than 10 days but yeah, I know. My editor has T-Mobile and he doesn’t have to pay extra for his international data, it’s part of his normal plan 🤷‍♀️

[@warrenjoseph76]

@@BridgetCareyaloSIM is how we’re doing our Europe trip at the moment. Didn’t take long to learn the ropes of activating the different eSims when we crossed borders. Way way way cheaper. Just a tip! Love your stuff and hope you enjoyed Spain!

[@Smrtsk8tr1]

CNET paying that good good money

[@StevieCooper]

$5 for my Australian Vodafone roaming but a local sim was cheaper for this whole trip to Indonesia. Also, I love iCloud links!

[@maxblade9361]

Apple apple apple Like the world dont have phones just apple 😂😂😂

[@goodthings1231]

I am an iPhone user, but i find Google Maps more easy and intuitive to use here in the EU. But I may give Apple Maps a chance next time I travel. Also, Google maps has this traffic view of the streets; sometimes, apple maps simply don't have any data...

[@karinhart489]

I used to prefer Google Maps in US over Apple Maps, but then Apple improved significantly. Now I use both depending on what kind of info I need.

[@conorfurlong]

Maps on Apple Watch is one of my absolute favourite features of the device. It really comes into its own when you’re travelling, to never have to take out a map or your phone to navigate a city.

[@Simon-L-B]

Glance at your Watch to check the turn - you don’t even need to do this, as the vibration is distinct between left and right and I believe also straight ahead (cross the road at a junction)

[@BridgetCarey]

Wait it vibrates different ways?! I never noticed! brb running out to try this...

[@Simon-L-B]

@@BridgetCarey yeah! You’ll have to run in square blocks to make the most of it! 😄 Thanks for the reply, cheered me up 😁

[@andricheli]

Another travel tip that has worked well for us - we plan everything in Apple Notes. We create a folder for our trip, and then have one note that is the Itinerary which then includes links to other notes with specific travel information. We keep info about our flight, links to locations, and just about everything else right in the Notes app. Works great because we can easily share info.

[@theALEXfaust]

Great tips Bridget, I’m surprised myself at how many people don’t know simple things like offline maps is available, learned a couple things from your Guides section too thanks!

[@Vandal42]

Dont use a US carrier int data plan! Thats the worst option. Thats 10-12 dollars a day - 70/84 bucks for 7 days for data signal that wont be optimized. Just buy a local sim card, from Three, or Vodafone - I got 70gb of data for 15 GBP this summer 2024 in London (fyi - in the US it takes excessive use outside of wifi to hit 2gb of data usage) Three and Vodafone also allow you to spend what you want, more or less

[@Michelangelo94]

I traveled through Europe for 2 weeks last year and I was pleasantly surprised at how easily everything worked. The $10/day wireless was worth it for my group. One thing that I learned just in time: check with your carrier about cruises, as there are potentially huge charges while the ship is moving. Best to keep your phone in airplane mode while sailing and then take it off while docked.

[@maikaimakena9424]

Such a great video I really like how much I learned keep it up the great work 🤙

[@skyler_wa]

6:38 Family Circus reference was a blast from the past!

[@juansanchis8893]

Glad to see you visit my hometown, I hope you had an awesome time

[@havenfamily-하늘이네]

Check-in feature I've never heard of it until now. Thanks for the good tip, Bridget!

[@karinhart489]

Thx. I’m fooling around with the check-in feature right now with my sister. I had no idea. And I downloaded the widget of the spare clock face to keep track of time at home when traveling. I did that on the World Clock before, but I think I’ll prefer a quick glance.

[@gmarco81-tz]

Like Re-Watch a Bridget video because it makes me happy

[@videobiker9131]

Really cool! Tips to remember the next time I travel. Thank you!!

[@AltaroRitmerZaxmer]

Besides, I would like to recommend Immersive Translate for you. This plug-in can help me translate everything I need when I travel abroad！

[@Jayden-lr2mm]

Hardly even knew about these features, impressive

[@hummersd]

One tip you probably should've learned is to never use a USB port to charge outside of your own devices. Always plug-in to an outlet or use a battery bank.

[@RuudP]

Off topic, hope you had a wonderful holiday. Valencia is a beautiful city, I was there too, last year

[@GGhi12345]

Long time ago I watched a CNET video. But good video:)

[@adstix]

Great features but you gotta be careful scanning random QR codes! Could easily be a hacking vulnerability!

[@warrenjoseph76]

@@adstix it’s usually glued to the restaurant table itself and they direct you to scan it for their menu

[@adstix]

Regardless, I still wouldn't give every restaurant access into my phone just because I want to see their menu! Next thing you know, every store will lure you to scan a QR code in order to qualify for tempting discounts! It can be a potential flytrap from a cybersecurity perspective!

[@mral6809]

I have been doing this on Andriod for almost a decade using Google maps / travel planner. I can sit at my PC and plan the whole trip (restaurants to try, museums to see, land marks, signigicant to history locations, symphony, glass blowing, rock climbing, hiking and the list goes on since everything is on Google) which syncs to my phone and my wifes iPhone. Better maps with better translation with all the reviews one stop shop.

[@wbarrick]

To use the airplane’s inflight entertainment system with your own headphones or earbuds you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter. If you have an AirPods Pro Max either the BT adapter or Apple’s bidirectional cable.

[@MrRicardoFrancisco]

Check In is not available on Group Chat 😢

[@louismartini6983]

GREAT TIPS! Thanks for sharing.

[@darthvader1770]

Kindly tell me about what case did you used for your iPhone?

[@MRCOCOCITY]

I recommend using a VPN because some countries block access to KZbin, Instagram, etc. Also, a VPN provides you with a more private/secure connection.

[@thiagofbenedicto]

238k e-mails? 😱😱😱

[@IDWIE]

Great stuff!

[@AlejandroCruz-hd4ot]

Buenos tips. Gracias!

[@Kerleem]

Also most other countries use WhatsApp quite heavily for calls and texts so it's a must!

[@anyadike]

$10 a day?!? We've had over 15 years of free international Wi-Fi calls from the hotel...

[@RobSnow-ui4sz]

Hey great video...but what happens if you don't see check in when you click more? 3:40 in the video. Using 17.51 OS

[@Pizzalaser]

[@JavierCubasPeris]

In Spain Google Maps is more cool

[@oritanzer]

use the action button with translation

[@navaneeth_anand]

It's funny that iPhone users need travel tip videos 😂

[@ReR7474]

No need to buy extra cables. Just use the legacy cords and use small zip ties loop a thread thru them and wear them as a necklace!! Duh!

[@JJ-land]

Your iCloud Photo explanation missed an important step…the need to hit the box with the arrow point up to bring the options up.

[@Drmicky141]

So annoying that offline maps have to be updated so often, Google ones are good for 1 yr or so.

[@enas_trelos]

Changing phone number is a pain !

[@yearight9543]

I think that's where companies like Airalo & Holafly comes in handy.

[@vhol93]

Cool!!

[@princegj84]

$10 dollars a day is ridiculous!

[@francoistm]

2:18 I think - not sure but - you have 2 or 3 unread emails (just saying)

[@cybertrend8134]

The airplane wallet widget is the most convenient that everyone adapted to instantly but no one talks about.

[@thecapone45]

Which one is that?

[@PhillBurns]

$10 per day?!? 30 days 50gb euro roaming esim is about $12. Smarty, Lycamobile, Holafly, and many more!

[@stephensonmatthew7]

10 dollars a day, i’d not pay. Instead get your phone unlocked by your carrier (or if it’s bought sim free you’re unlocked already), and get a prepaid SIM. CNET recommending a $10 per day data package to “save money” as a travel tip? 🤦

[@BridgetCarey]

Not recommending it or saying it saves money, but just being honest about how I did it. Glad folks are jumping in with other ideas. I was on vacation so I did the quick easy thing.

[@Murkwiththemouth]

Uhmmm $10 a day? No thanks

[@ricardotanjr]

did you know that google maps on any android phones can work in any country without wifi, without data, provided you download all maps that are involved in your travel?! you can use it to track where you are, and what is better than an iphone is that google maps automatically adjusts whenever you take a wrong turn! this does not work like this in an iphone using apple maps which never adjusts whenever you take a wrong turn.

[@cschmitz100]

You obviously have never used Apple Maps lol. There’s so much wrong with what you just said

[@MP-lv5vk]

That is not true in all countries. Some countries prevent maps being downloaded for offline use.

[@leonardwilliams2796]

Apple is garbage.. yo CNET where did you get this women? google maps is way better along with other things

[@DYN.]

Wanted to say people didn't know these?? But then I remembered that these days everyone is an average user that doesn't care about many features 😂

[@ChadH2023]

Y'all missed a HUGE opportunity to make a video comparing apple vs android while traveling. This feels like a 7 minute ad for apple.

It’s a good idea. Every Friday I do a show about Apple but we could totally do something comparing Android
