After trying the Apple Vision Pro, I'm going to use my iPhone 15 Pro Max to record photos in panoramic and videos in spatial video so I can relive those moments in 3D Apple Vision Pro.

[@TheBrazilboy2010]

It’s only giving me a 7 day trial before charging

@@TheBrazilboy2010 I think if you try it with other account you would get 1 month. but just beware as the billing after that is manually not monthly, so cancel it.

As someone using this since the first beta release, I can confidently say, rectangle is not being replaced. It is still better with multitude of keyboard shortcuts as well as options. There is still long way for mac os to catchup to rectangle in terms of features. When you move the window from the small resized window, it gets back to the original size when moving it. So annoying. Rectangle has an option to maintain the same window size as resized window which is so much better.

[@threesixkiss]

I second this. Rectangle has much more features and shortcuts. But still it's a nice add-on for the users that don't know/never used it.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

2:34 the dog in the facetime is so silly and cute 😂.

[@fraznofire2508]

Windows does have a desktop app for iCloud passwords included in the iCloud app for windows.

[@FromSergio]

Thanks for pointing that out!

[@KilianMuster]

Presenter Mode has been available in Sonoma as well, the only difference is that you now can replace your background in Sequoia, not only blur it.

[@XHItube]

I believe FaceTime already has most of these features as I've been sharing my screen and using presenter mode (I'm not on the beta).

[@FromSergio]

Can't believe I had missed those!

[@misran449]

same here

[@lastofux]

Yes, Screen sharing + presenter modes are features from current macOS Sonoma.

[@mylesjohnson5043]

@fromsergio I definitely understand where you're coming from about the blogger's revenue. but in the grand scheme, I think this is an absolute win for Apple users because of Apple's policy on ads. One time they said "We can't have ads on our apps because we use them too" and they're right! who wants to see even more distracting, cringy, invasive, and downright weird ADS when they're just trying to browse the web? we as humans already get force-fed THOUSANDS of Ads daily and even if we don't make the effort to pay attention to them, they are still there subliminally. we have short lives and honestly, it's way better to take a small hit to your revenue as a blogger than work in a coal mine to provide for your family. boo, hoo, ad developers.

[@Code9]

CAUTION: Sequoia 15.1 is known to cause Bluetooth devices to periodically malfunction or to not work at all. So far, no one seems to know why or how to fix the problem. For some people their wireless mouse periodically stops functioning. For others it's bluetooth headphones. For me it's my brand new Bose speaker (which worked perfectly until I upgraded to Sequoia.

[@CleanDesign_]

Did you know you can actually already tile windows in MacOS with keyboard shortcuts, and have been able to for years? A lot of people are unaware of this. To get the correct text for the keyboard shortcut, move your mouse to the green circle in the top left of a window and hover it over the button. Options will pop up that say "tile", but this is NOT what you are looking for. While you are still hovering, hold down the "option" key, and a new set of options appears with "Move Window". This is the text you want. It only allows left or right, but I think that is what most people use anyway. It is real tiling too, not the weird split screen thing.

[@CappellaKeys]

FYI most of the FaceTime features you mentioned have already been in FaceTime for awhile. I've been sharing my screen on it with live captions for well over a year.

[@danfreimann]

Quick info: Apple Intelligence will for now, only be accessible for countries outside of the EU because of our data security laws (DSGVO). Other than that, nice video man and greetings from Germany!

[@vasili_pasioudis]

Hacks will allow Apple Intelligence implementation in restricted jurisdictions.

[@smartrockcoolguy]

not available in australia as well

[@splahh]

Just picked up my MacBook M3 Pro. Although I used to work for Apple I’ve been a heavy windows user. Immediately installed this update after watching this video and seeing the native Tiling Windows 🙏🏿 thanks for the video, learned a couple of new things which is great!

[@DustyKing]

Beta update? I am waiting for the official release tho.

[@migu-loza]

Great editing and summary of the best things from Sequoia.

[@saurabhjdas786]

Amazing production quality of the video. You just summarised all of that in a single video. Pretty cool!

Cool guide dude, looking forward to the writing tools for work

[@Fireflies817]

Why do I actually feel bad for the rectangle app 🥲

[@rohanpatel9797]

I’m still gonna use it… I have multiple monitors Apple hasn’t given me cycling and quick half and third options from one quick shuffle

[@Zappy3491]

Don’t feel bad. It’s not even comparable.

[@lvalentin91]

One of the few Devs I supported by buying the Pro. Even though all i used was available in the free version. Oh well

[@codroo]

I just wanted to add you can the Apple passwords on windows. You do use an extension but when you install the iCloud app, it also installs an Apple passwords app. Windows got it a couple years before Mac. Even as a windows user you can still be in the Apple ecosystem.

[@FromSergio]

Thanks for pointing it out!

[@UnicornPizza]

1:43 - “…but the next one actually replaces Zoom - I’m just kidding, can you imagine ?”, I wasn’t expecting that LMFAO! I laughed so hard! x)

[@aahpandasrun]

The scheduled sending of iMessage is the biggest one for sure

[@Abdullah-zl9ub]

Why do you prefer Arc? Still using it?

[@rcc9677]

The window management thing doesn't work the same when Stage Manager is on. I know Stage Manager sucks, but sometimes I like to use it so that's why I still keep rectangle.

[@CleanDesign_]

In what ways is it different? I use Stage Manager 24/7, but I haven't tried the beta, so what am I in for? Right now I actually already use keyboard shortcuts for tiling windows left or right and that seems to work with Stage Manager. "Move Window to Left Side of Screen" (or right) is the command you need to enter in settings for the keyboard shortcut. Most people don't even know this has existed for years, because it is hidden as an advanced feature in the green window button, where you have to press the "option" key to reveal the command. However it only allows left and right.

[@cooper8577]

You can run Stage Manager before using window management, and it will work.

[@rcc9677]

@@CleanDesign_ Nothing really. With rectangle, when I full screen the app, it will keep space on the left side of the screen for the stage manager tabs. If you use the fullscreen shortcut with the native Mac shortcuts, it actually move the tabs out of the way and makes the window full screen. You can still get the tabs back if you move the mouse to the very left of the screen, but sometimes I want the tabs visible so I like keeping rectangle for that reason.

[@bordesorno-lranlap9595]

Thanks 🎉 Can we change the icon to dark or other color?

[@noahmrq]

bro where do I get your background picture its perfect

[@timmy334]

Magnet has more options than the built-in window manager.

[@whengrapespop5728]

What do you mean by the Mirroring function not being available in the EU? I just updated my MacBook today and used it without issues.

[@EzDoesntExist]

My heart goes for Rectangle and its preceding app which both served us perfectly for a decade when Apple was sleeping on such fundamental feature. RIP

[@scottd1342]

Not at all RIP. I will be keeping it 100%

[@Recliness]

Great video! Apple is certainly moving in the right direction with MacOS

[@ENP-v7q]

thank you so much for all the tips and ideas!! Is there a way to add a beautifier to video streaming I can add on Safari?

[@_briantravis]

great video but i think all those facetime features have been here since ventura. All except transcriptions and remote controlling another’s screen

[@Mangold108]

Snapping windows! password manager! that is INNOVATION!

[@whengrapespop5728]

Don’t forget collapsing headers and highlighting in Notes!

[@Pedro5antos_]

Really insightful. Thanks for sharing!

[@Xeniosfitness]

Anyone watching this do not upgrade to the beta 8. So many bugs with the Bluetooth trackpad

[@dnbjerke]

How can I solve the issue of the arrow keys skipping videos on KZbin when using the window assignment shortcut on my Mac? Is there a way to change the shortcut so it doesn't interfere with regular keyboard usage? Edit: Also Control + Option + Up/Down Arrow doesn’t work on KZbin; it just scrolls the page up and down.

[@condoriris6286]

Finally . MacOS works like windows

[@rickdg]

You still need something like rectangle to persist a window across desktops.

[@vasili_pasioudis]

Collapsible Headers in Notes, how many levels deep does it support? I hope they bring this feature back into Pages aka for the outline mode feature that was deleted years ago from Pages iWork, which everyone is asking for.

[@f11bot]

3:47 you don’t need to be in the apple ecosystem to use passwords, it really works great on windows.

[@orrin-manning]

I need to be able to tile my windows in thirds, or it’s a nonstarter. I have an ultra wide display and thirds are perfect for browser windows, text editors, iPhone simulator, etc

[@derLenno]

So weird to me that they included a "fill screen" option for the (which in my eyes is absolutely redundant since we already have full screen) but no way to make an app smaller and revert that filling, or center an app on your screen.

[@vivi4140]

Great summary 😊

[@BishalAdhikarii]

summary : it's absolutely fine sticking with ventura

[@YamiKisara_]

The mac window tiling has less options compared to the software I'm using, so I will continue to use that

[@AlloffroadAu]

Password is typically Apple half arsed approach, it can't even create categories, nor does it have a category for software, no and oid or PC option, way to limited to switch from 3rd party PW manager.

[@aleksandaruljarevic9856]

@Sergio How did you got your Apple Intelligence features if you are living in EU ... you used beta reales ? Obviously AI features are not available in Europe [not only EU]. Do you know when Apple will ennoble them for Europe ?

[@stingus]

Does a window snapping have more to second display hotkey? I use it a lot in Rectangle.

[@usmcsully7183]

When is this update available?

[@chjunior]

Since I already had Rectangle installed when I upgraded, the new shortcuts for tiling just don't work, even after removing rectangle. They basically do nothing, although their menu options show the right shortcut.

[@Brickalistic1977]

Is it possible to summarize all notifications, or does it work only on Mail notifications?

[@aeginorum]

Your account isn't US.

[@ChopsticksDIYGarden]

9:44, that's like Windows. But double-clicking on the titlebar again should restore its previous size. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that.

[@Thulebeez]

We need FaceTime to be a Zoom replacement once and for all.

[@drizyee]

By far it’s good with new update, but there is loooong way that Apple have to make with macOS… Btw, How did You make menu bar thinner on Sequoia?

I'm surprised to find out that you use the Journal app - did you stop using Obsidian?

[@FromSergio]

I still use Obsidian for almost everything. but I've been journaling on the apple journal app since the app came out. Its really hard to beat the convenience of it. Just need it on the mac.

[@るんるん-u5e]

Does the OpenCL that worked on Sonoma still work on Sequoia? I want this information because many apps are not working.

[@るんるん-u5e]

I want to know if OpenCL works or not, so I don't need information that OpenCL is already deprecated.

[@ichbinmohab]

Great video, but I’m honestly disappointed with Apple. I just got back to Dubai from Germany, and it’s shocking to see that most of these cool features in the new macOS update aren’t available in the Middle East. It really feels like Apple isn’t taking this region seriously, and we’re being left behind when it comes to important updates.

[@SpellStryker]

Some of them are in the developer beta 15.1, and for now, it only works in english. But yes, they are available.

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

Because Apple released the newest feature Of window management, so that finally macOS can be more like Windows 11 and you can do the same kind of split screen by dragging and dropping the windows where you want like Windows 11 without any additional software just using the default first party software.

[@cjlovasco6977]

[@rackom10]

For some reason it clashes with browser SHow Next/Previous Tab commands even if they are not the same. I am using Cmd + Alt + Arrow as command. ANy suggestions?

[@JayGallie]

0:40, It’s great that *"window tiling"* has finally been added to macOS, but I wish that when we attach windows to the sides using the mouse, we could see the keyboard shortcut for it. -- It would be cool if all the keys on the keyboard went dark except for the shortcut keys, which would stay lit for two seconds. It could be way easier to learn shortcuts.
