iOS 18 is Bringing This Soon, iPhone Flip is Happening, iPhone 17 Ultra Details & More!

[@BrandonButch]

Apple surprised me this week with BOTH iOS 18 Beta releases! Anyways, how 'bout that Apple Intelligence easter egg? 😅

[@CRAZYWHITEBOY87]

😂 that’s wild man

[@ESCADA23GLOBAL]

What is your source that you have that determines car manufacturers are ditching CarPlay? I have not seen this.

[@JLawsonPHill]

You keep saying in multiple videos that for a fact the new Siri and new design won’t be coming until 2025. I’m just curious where you are getting that from. I went back and rewatched the keynote and the new Siri design and understanding “will be available the moment you start using Apple intelligence”. After the demo that they expand on it and say they are planning on bringing more features in the following year like on screen awareness. I’m just a bit confused.

[@HesperianHorsePower]

@@JLawsonPHill well to be fair Apple has stated launch dates for many things that have been delayed in the past or hell, never came to market at all.

[@HesperianHorsePower]

@@ESCADA23GLOBAL GM and Rivian are the only ones I know of that have stated as much. I don’t think there will be a mass exodus of car makers leaving CarPlay. Tesla is its own deal I guess. Too bad musk won’t allow it on his platforms but I’m sure it all comes down to money. It always does.

[@jonathans7550]

I would never buy a car without CarPlay. I can't live without it. Love my Mazda 3.

[@kub1naFL]

Brandon dropping video's like he doesnt sleep any more lol. Thanks brandon for your content and keeping us up to date brother. Hope you are having a great day!

[@Pitsy]

No -no car play is a definite no for me when buying a car

[@kronop8884]

I used to be like that, making sure that I have access to CarPlay until I bought a 2021 BMW 5 series and realised the built in system did everything I needed while driving including built in Spotify support, parking app, navigation in the HUD, weather, news etc.

[@DenverHarris]

How arrogant these car manufacturers are to think their little startup company software engineers can better Apple’s massive software department and decades of experience.

[@BrandonButch]

I’ll never understand it. Interoperability is key

[@prepped8551]

It’s not necessarily arrogance. It’s good business sense to not rely completely on another company. Let’s say ford (for example) gets fully in to bed with Apple to the extent that they stop developing their own software. Then Apple discontinues CarPlay. Ford is F*cked at that point.

[@left0verture]

You’re assuming providing the best customer experience is the automakers’ priority. Remember a few years ago when the big record companies were suing everybody left and right for downloading music and trading mixtapes? Suing their potential customers? Pre-iTunes, did any of them make any effort to provide a product to satisfy customer demand? Nope. I see the automakers as taking the same approach. Pay a licensing fee to Apple for a superior customer experience? Nah. We’ll contract with Joe’s Software Inc instead. It won’t be as good as CarPlay but who cares? We’ll make $10 more per car.

[@BradleyLarcher]

Really. Car makers are arrogant for not using car play? Didn't know Apple owned them. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Horseghc]

@@BradleyLarcher Yes they are, they believe that their software is better than apples (which it is not) which is by definition arrogance. Also adding a subscription fee for their software to use things like Spotify is nuts. It has nothing to do with who owns who but using the best software that prevents users from using their phones while driving, not having access to basic features, most people will just get their phone out endangering themselves and others because they dont want to pay for a software. Meanwhile i can just press a button on my steering wheel or say "Siri" and i never have to use my hands at all. Just food for thought.

[@1970nikkisixx]

I’m on iOS 18 public beta and there is a bug in the camera where when you take the picture it’s blurry for a couple of minutes, makes it hard to know if you’ve actually captured the photo correctly

[@Itzztimmy09]

Is it safe to install ios 18 public beta on primary device?

[@gailenrique2804]

Alot of reviewers on here say no... especially if it's your daily driver. Beta code is not polished and could behave erratically. Some apps will also crash or cease to work. You're also at risk of loosing data as well. I'd wait for ios 18 to be officially released... but if you're willing to take the risk and can deal with reporting bugs and feedback, be sure to backup your data before you go down the path, just in case you want to revert back to 17.6.

[@Itzztimmy09]

@@gailenrique2804 Thank you i’m not going to take risk this time when 17 launched i tried beta version and my device faced black screen issue

[@Keithbenzoadvocate55]

I’m still on the public beta and have been hesitant to install the re-release for dev beta 4.5 because EVERY single time I open the photos app and stay in the app for more than three mins, the app crashes and I get taken back to the Home Screen. This is a first time I’ve ever had an app crash on any iOS device. I find it even more strange that the build letter keeps getting pushed back instead of forward. Have you had any issues with the photos app on the re-release? I’ve got an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 16 with a 93% battery health and I get better battery life on my mini than my 14 pro that’s running iOS 18 public beta. Smdh. 😒

[@manofb]

I wish you would have warned us about the size of the wallpapers and the difficulty in deleting them before showing how to download them.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

Theres always a crazy airtag story. But that was very smart on that construction worker.

[@tyralong-nicholson3638]

Will the iPhone 13 series get Apple intelligence as well or is it for the 15-16 series only?

[@ichigo-roku]

Officially they said 15 Pro+.

[@aeroneflores412]

Did that calendar widget option disappear in the newer public/developer betas??

[@Doc_Boss]

So is Apple Intelligence available or not? Thanks

[@gailenrique2804]

Still in beta testing... AI will come after the release of ios 18

[@vikrantdeshmukh7237]

Why did apple remove 15 pro default wallpapers?

[@starscreamwife]

Is apple intelligence going be on the normal 15.

[@CrustyHead2465]

no

[@pascalgraser5413]

Could you please post the link to the wallpaper on iPhone?

[@blessdarah1256]

Does iPhone mirroring work only for iPhone 14 and above? Because it doesn't work for me.

[@elnietodeanadelia]

Nope. The volume is still broken for me on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, even after the latest update. 😩 Volume remains blurred out and the device pauses content upon touching the screen. Same when connected to CarPlay. No audio on Instagram or Snapchat either. I've tired EVERYTHING and the only thing that seems to work is disabling Siri. Problem is, you need Siri to run CarPlay. 🤷🏻‍♂️ WiFi is also malfunctioning. I may have to restore to iOS 17. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@diegan23]

Loved your comedic comment about committing crimes as a mother-daughter bonding experience.

[@reda497]

New high end? Why it only comes with 8gb and only A19 chip like pro/pro max?

[@76mbp]

Since I downloaded iOS 18 beta my WhatsApp application has not been opening at all. Every time I try to open it just crashes immediately ..Anyone else has that issue ?

[@rick3400]

Wait, with the release of Apple intelligence this year, would the new Siri ui be available? Love your content btw

[@tonyo.4226]

Brandon. Really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Very informative. Love the “crazy AirTag stories”. 😂

[@YellowJellybean-fm9rk]

Does the new siri ui count as siri 2.0?

[@micahcouve9331]

So is the 120 Hz Pro Motion Display coming to all iPhones this year with the iPhone 16, or will we have to wait for the iPhone 17s next year?

[@lukchem]

The Apple Intelligence Easter egg is even in the EU 😂

[@BLJC57]

Hey my iPhones volume is stuck in control centre and there’s no sound unless I open an app which has sound or if someone calls

[@T.Paterson-Marsh]

It shows up on my SE 2nd Gen… does that mean I could be getting Siri 2.0??

[@G4M846]

Probably not

[@kevinpanzke7346]

I have had no problems with 5GUC connectivity on my 14 Pro Max on T-Mobile’s GO 5G Plus plan! What I have had problems with is accessing my Comcast Business Wi-Fi @ my long term care facility! Which is very strange because I have no problems connecting 2 my Mom’s X-Finity Wi-Fi whenever I come home 4 a home visit!

[@idcboutanyone32]

What app do u use to change the color of your keybboard?

[@Plexipal]

Mine says AI also, but I’m on a 14 plus so i wont get AI?

[@henpuffs]

yo Brandon if 17.6 releases can u go to it from ios 18?

[@PacsyWow]

Since i updated to iOS 18 Beta 4, the videoplayer was straight up GLITCHY for me, not just KZbin, but random times, every videoplayer, i am the problem? Because i dont see anyone talking about this BIG bug that doesnt allow me to play any form of media, (not always, randomly.)

[@SantiagoT75]

Thank you, Brandon, for all the details you provide on your videos.

[@carloscruzmusiq835]

Frequently used emojis keeps resetting to default. Super annoying

[@PieMan001]

17:55 So according to the document, there’s not going to be any rear cameras on the iPhone 17 slim/ultra? How would that even work? No way I would buy it without cameras!

[@walterfoster1167]

They fixed the photo darkening issue in ios 18 for the camera. I’m happy about that.

[@spede1]

I had WiFi and cellular connection issues on public beta. installed the re-release of the developer beta and the problem seems fixed

[@gailenrique2804]

Did you report the issues in the feedback app?? It would help Apple resolve the issue to those having the same issue for the next beta release.

[@talilata9164]

may i have the wallpaper you used in this video please? 🙏🏼

[@aiden_k]

A flip phone honestly doesn’t make sense imo, js bring back the mini. Wouldn’t be surprised if when it came out the sales wouldn’t do well and they would drop it as fast as they did the mini

[@Simpanj]

I have apple carplay in my truck, but i use normal bluetooth instead, i think I would prefer to do the same in a car too

[@conza1989]

It won't be a folding phone, it'll be a folding iPad, that makes so much more sense

[@jhonmichaelchavez3647]

I noticed the “frequently used emoji” doesn’t updated i’m using ip11promax on ios18

[@brianallen7353]

I had a HUGE phone heating up where my phone battery would die in 1 hour. Now once 4.5 came out, it fixed the heating and battery.

[@darenhill9431]

Hi does anyone know if the normal iPhone 16 going to get all the features what the pros getting coz I really need a new phone now

[@PzyGee_]

U said the iPhone 17 Slim will be apple newest highest end iPhone in the lineup, but how so? Looking at the specs at 17:34 its worse in every aspect compared to the Pro Max but costs 100$ more

[@PzyGee_]

I know those are expected specs but still how could we call it highest end product when its rumored and the rumored specs around it don't even back this fact up...

[@mwsbs]

Markup has a bug that is still present in the latest re-release. When adding text using the Markup feature for PDG files, you cannot adjust the Text parameters. I’m experiencing this on several different devices and only on PDF files.

[@Temuun_5]

Damn i downloaded IOS 18 Beta4 and my damn Iphone 15 plus crashes a lot specially apple music and calculator. 😢

[@BreakTime10101]

When do you think we’ll see Wi-Fi 7 on Apple products?

[@pear.]

That Apple Intelligence Easter egg shows up on my iPhone 12 as well… does that mean that the cloud version is coming to older devices?

[@BrandonButch]

So..you buying a car without CarPlay in 2024? 🤨

[@MylesTech]

yes 😢

[@Pixelplayz2215]

I just bought a car last year, didn’t have carplay, so I bought a carplay tablet that sticks on my dashboard lol

[@teslaplaidtok]

Only when it’s a Tesla or a Rivian

[@gdmoore]

Nope

[@laoualimamane125]

I do have a car without carplay and I'm still alive 😅

[@artfartzy]

Why no Siri 2.0 before 2025? Thought 2.0 would come with iOS 18 this year. Or is apple intelligence not = Siri 2.0 ?

[@dbrewood]

Please, please tell me that you can now exclude reminder lists when filtering instead of just one...

[@cistym]

I can say that I would not buy a car without CarPlay. I would love a new GM EV, but since they aren't including CarPlay I have removed them from my list.

[@message22610]

I've noticed this since Beta 1, in mindfulness on apple watch if you complete a breathe session (maybe reflection too haven't tested it) and log your mood, it jumps back to the main menu of the app when you complete the log instead of the animation where it says "Logged".

“Brandon Butch”, the only channel that i rely on when it comes to iOS news

[@Joha-bib]

The home indicator, so the white line on the bottom of your screen, is now at the Home Screen too. That’s another Easter egg for apple intelligence because you are going to be able to type to apple intelligence instead of speaking to it and that’s triggered by pressing this white line

[@Kora-u7e]

iphone 17 pro max and 17 ultra will have strongly upgraded low light photo/video performance. iphone 17 ultra will also be portless. it will use the new action and capture button, along with its increased water resistance from ditching ports- to be useable underwater in the fashion of a gopro. perfect to pair with apple watch ultra.

[@artfartzy]

I doubt it will be portless, not many will buy the iphone if it doesnt have a fast charching port. Having to use a slow magsafe or whatever to charge the phone is not good. Same for those who use wired headphones, they wont be able to do that. So all in all not good.

I wouldn’t buy another car without CarPlay. I absolutely love it. I got my mom to finally use hers on her car so she can be hands free. When I’m on my boyfriend’s car (way older) I miss having the CarPlay feature. If he wasn’t looking to replace one of his cars soon, I’d buy one of those adapters for his car so he could have it as well because I worry when he needs to use his map, call me, or listen to his music when there’s no reception for the actual radio.

[@diegan23]

I did buy a 2024 Lexus with wireless CarPlay and wouldn’t have considered it without, even though Google Maps and Waze are available. I prefer Apple Maps - a far cry from the beginning when Apple Maps was first introduced and was terrible.
