as a UI designer, I cannot emphasise how convenient the side car function is. I simply place my iPad near my mac and I can instantly see my design on it, not to mention you can use your iPad as a screen extension not just mirroring ❤

happy new year Ella! It's so crazy and amusing how fast you grew, I swear the first time I saw your video was when you uploaded the S21 Unboxing and have been watching you ever since. You were just a little channel at that time but now, you are so many people's choices for tech reviews. I wish you all the best and I hope good things are coming your way

[@nari5161]

So informative about the stuff people actually want to know rather than what they can read on a product page that a lot of other channels just verbalize, and so efficient at the same time. You're great at what you do!

[@sepatuboots2346]

Other youtubers would probably make a 30 minute video for the same amount of information. Thank you for such an efficient, well crafted video! And the way you ended it tho 🔥

Many KZbinrs don’t say it’s not that reliable Even some famous ones, they act like all these features work flawlessly Thanks for pointing out flaws, I also experience these glitches frequently

[@makasete30]

I don’t though. And that’s probably those KZbinrs don’t point it out because they didn’t either…

[@micahjohnson9184]

​@@makasete30 Yeah, I'm not an apple user but I can see what he's talking about. It's more so about an image or idea of course it may work flawlessly for you and some others. However, that narrative is pushed so much. I think many people would believe there couldn't be any flaws if that makes sense. Also then again they would never know it wasn't the smoothest, or that their are applications that work better. If they never venture outside of the walled garden. Which is one of the reasons Ella deserves a Job well done.

Great review! As a fairly recent Apple ecosystem adoptee I am always prodding and probing to see how all of the things work together. I must say, I’m just amazed with so many of these great features, not the least of which is the hardware. My iPad Pro is the most amazing device I’ve ever owned.

[@jaarevalor]

Excellent video, thanks Ella for taking the time to do this.

[@kapu3000mi]

One benefit for mirroring your iPads to your Mac is for online presentation and school. It's so convenient for such purpose, no need to buy any extra peripherals like a capture card. This method also eliminates the weird camera angle and also the disturbing noise of the pen making contact with the iPad screen.

[@thesimonbro7223]

Also super handy for App developers to easily present their work in presentations etc

[@chrism869]

Great video as always ,cant wait for the samsung ecosystem one. Crazy how youre almost at 400k subs. I remember when you were at 100k. Crazy to see how much your channel has grown in subs.

I loved this video always so thorough!! Thx Ella😊😊❤

[@rebeccaw9656]

Great video, this has been really useful! You’ve convinced me that a Mac and iPad is a great pairing, but you haven’t convinced me that an iPhone is essential in this mix with Google and third party apps. While I am mostly in the Apple ecosystem with a Mac and an iPad, I don’t feel that I’m missing out anything with my Android phone and third party earbuds… plus I don’t wear a watch. I do most of what you’ve shown anyway, just with different 3rd party apps.

[@hammadali971]

I just watched this entire video because of your presentation and what makes it look killer is your smile. It is true if you smile on a call or in any content video you will definitely grab the attention of your client/audience. Stay Blessed

Another thing with casting, you can even cast streaming services from an iPhone to the Mac! I like it when I connect my Mac to say a projector and I can control the movie or show I’m watching without having to get up!

Thank you, this was an excellent video. Since 1996, I have been using Apple computers both desktops and laptops. Also, since the introduction of their basic iPad 4th generation, I have owned a basic iPad and my current model is the 9th generation. However, I have never wanted to join the complete Apple ecosystem. So, I have never owned an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Home Pod (smile...smile).

[@myrellejoybejasa5745]

Hi! Love your videos! Another useful ecosystem feature is Wifi password sharing. When one of your devices connects to a new Wifi router/hotspot and you pull out your other device, a prompt will appear on your connected device asking you if you want to share the Wifi password to your other device. I find it very useful when I’m travelling for work. It reduces time and effort to look up the password again and retype it to connect your other device/s. However, it’s also not very reliable as the prompt does not appear 100% of the time. I think 3/5 haha!

[@eurico1011]

[@s1_auds]

Happy New Year Ella! I always love these review style videos from you, well presented, giving us all the info we need. 🙂 I'd love to see a Samsung Ecosystem version 🤩 I really don't think the apple ecosystem is better. I'd prefer to have a Windows laptop, samsung phone, samsung earbuds, samsung galaxy watch and the samsung smart tag, samsung tablet + S pen, the list goes on. ( Windows Laptop, iPad, and Samsung phone is my preffered setup. ) Plus, some of the samsung products have cross compatibility. I have an iPhone 12 right now and knew i'd not invest in anymore of the ecosystem, as I've always had Samsung/Android and just wanted a change, I can download the Galaxy Buds/Galaxy Watch apps, and they work as any normal bluetooth earbuds would, I have an equalizer and other settings in the app that are identical to the airpods. I'm not saying you shouldn't invest in this ecosystem, they're are many people who LOVE Apple, and I guess it's alot to do with influence and what you are used to, and personally like to work with, for example; if your parents have iPhones, they'd be more likely to get YOU an iPhone, and so you'd start to without intention, invest in their accessories. The Samsung GalaxyBook, which I don't see as a benefit? they come running windows 10 or ChromeOS, it's not like the galaxybooks run DeX which i'd like to see as a new flagship operating system to compete with Microsoft / Macbooks .

[@burd7455]

For an ecosystem that I keep hearing "it just works" it looks like that's an overstatement.

[@vedanshchn]

4:13 This is fixed in macOS Sonoma and it switches to the mac perfectly now!

[@nestorrbolivare]

Great video, but still missing a few important features. For example, Continuity is just a bonus on Macs, test the iPhone Camera on an Apple TV, that's where the value is (FaceTime, Karaoke...). About Casting, try casting to your Apple TV, and watch those 4k videos on a big OLED screen. Universal control works pretty good between computers too, not only with your iPad. Also, something nice to try, pair your home pods to your Apple TV or just watch a movie using your AirPods...

[@22oreos]

Great video, as always, and happy new year! Are you left handed?

[@hichambaba3354]

7:25, "if you have friends", i really felt that...

[@KingsleySmith1]

Great video

[@ogidy001]

On the AirPod switching issue this is fixable. Apple defaults to automatically connecting for some strange reason (given they hope everyone has multiple Apple devices). You can change that (on each device) to connect to last device connected. Sometimes unexplainably Apple resets this setting to their default after updates so you need to change it again. But do this and the AirPods won't randomly switch away from a device you are already using.

[@darwinlaureles]

Cool Iphone case!

[@driver288]

The ecosystem is worth the hype I think. The main advantage with continuity cam apart from video quality is center stage in my opinion. Great if you’re 2 in front of the computer for instance.

[@brandonburton5688]

Totally off topic, but what phone case are you using for your iPhone? I really like it
