iOS 18 - New Music and Podcasts Features

[@CustardCream22]

My fave feature is definitely being able to see the full song title! I’ve been wanting this for so long!

[@DeTAYL.]

Apple Music doesn’t get the same recognition as Spotify, but it’s a better app overall IMO. The developers seem to listen to consumer feedback when making improvements.

[@Shubh_RKO]

@@DeTAYL. The fact that you get songs tuned and coded in Apple Music processed by iphone and played through airpods pro make them sound so extra special. I am an android person but I use IPhone mostly to listen to songs on Apple music bcoz the sound quality is so good

[@ciudadanodeunpaislibre9922]

⁠@@Shubh_RKOyou do know every AirPods model except for the pros with C charging can’t produce the high quality sound AM promises? You need wired ones, I thought I heard a difference but it was a placebo effect lol

[@Shubh_RKO]

@@ciudadanodeunpaislibre9922 I have the wired one from mu iphone se 2nd generation and airpods pro 2. Both sound great

[@ejakaegypt]

@@ciudadanodeunpaislibre9922very true. I have the AirPods Pro 2 with the usb-c

[@steve-ey4ol]

Yes, I agree once I sent in a review on Apple Music and I questioned what was browser meant to be as it had no sense to the user as most was not aimed at my personal taste and now they have changed it to new which makes more sense and highlights new music aimed at my taste

[@Kevinknps]

I would love the option to pin your recent favorite albums or songs at the top of the recently added section. maybe a horizontal swipe section. I find it very annoying that if i add a new favorite album it will disappear when I add some more songs from other artists so I find myself removing and re-adding certain albums

[@WitheredPancake]

Thanks for this. Had to chuckle though at 0:47 "So they're just a little easier to press", right as you missed pressing it 😀

[@mohebanwari1832]

the changes are nice and welcomed but the performance is really lacking. animations dont load, skipping songs freezes the app. search within a playting takes seconds to show results, and also the phone runs hot just using the app and playing songs. the "recently played" section is also a mess, cuz its constantly reseting. Had all these issues through beta one to 8

[@StoicHumanist]

I wish Apple would update their Books app! That thing needs some serious updating!

[@dalerobichaud1703]

There’s no way to watch the video version through apple is it? I love video podcasts and I could cancel youtube premium if there’s a way

[@iconikbeats]

There should be a favorite button for radio stations.

[@defaultplane]

I’d like to see a clock/timer on the music app just as you have on podcast. So I can listen for like 10 minutes and when the 10 minutes are done the music stops.

[@ejbout]

It’s not built in to the Apple Music app, but if you set a timer in the clock app and select “stop playing” at the bottom of the “when timer ends” menu, you’ll get the same result.

[@2BTO]

Funny how Android AM has this but not ios

[@fitimqerimi]

Had it on android and was very good one now I wake up on the morning with some music bumping my head 😂 still

[@defaultplane]

@@ejbout that works, thanks!

[@ArrivingElsewhere]

Don't need another button taking up the UI. Sleep timers make more sense for podcasts because podcast episodes are typically around an hour, as opposed to songs which can 2 minutes long.

[@Skydwe11er17]

Apple Music algorithm should be worked on. It’s very terrible. How can I be listening to reggae and then have Lil Baby play next. 😂🤷‍♂️

[@a1sinceday112]

Lol 😂

[@MatthewTheCCMA]

Oh my, I’m glad it’s not just me! My phone LOVES like 4 artists and I hear them all the time!

[@Skydwe11er17]

@@MatthewTheCCMA it sounds boring at a point

[@outlawfrank88]

Apple search algorithm is trash.

[@simonlucas929]

For real it is soooooo bad

[@prettyboyjay432]

Elaborate on the Dynamic Island features on the notch iPhones

[@zollotech]

There are none. They haven’t updated that at all.

[@113caleb]

Music haptics is so cool love your videos. I learned so much.

[@blaine1395]

I’ve been having trouble with my smart playlists on iTunes during weird and refusing to match. Is there any update with that?

[@Captain-Chats]

Chapters in the podcast app is great but the podcasts I listen to arnt using it. However in pocket casts they’re just there. So not sure what’s going on but the apple podcast app is still lacking behind the competition which is annoying as I’d prefer to use apples offering

[@Adrian.M149]

Great info! But I am still having trouble with Apple Music on beta 8, where it simply won't play anything unless I restart my iPhone 14 Pro.

[@Evanescence4ever100]

I miss the old iPod days where the shuffle button actually shuffled even when you had the repeat all on, and it showed what's the total number of songs in the playlist and what's the one you are currently listening to.

[@Bogdan-Kremlin]

The best thing will be if Apple Music makes a fusion with Podcast App. When will be possible to add Radios to favorite,I have some stations that i like and will be nice to be able to add them to favourites.They need to work on interface and make it more customisable.

[@fredg8814]

Can set all podcast episode to UNPLAYED if i accidentally hit the set all episodes as PLAYED?

[@nick_vee]

No Music Haptics on the XR? Option isn’t showing.

[@silver2kdeluxe]

Hey dad I just want to know if the “font size” slider has fixed when youre sliding back and forth without stuttering

[@matheusnunes969]

I’m using iOS 18 beta 8 on my iPhone 13 Pro and the cover art animations off Music are not working

[@steve-ey4ol]

I’ve also noticed that there is a circle next to what’s playing next with my initials in it from my playlists or album

[@javtimestwo]

I have been waiting for a video like this. Discussing Apple Music and the Podcasts are two features that iPhone users are constantly using. Keep up the great work. Crossfade is a great feature that should be here to stay, huh?

[@AlfieMitchell-o4c]

I wish that the 2020 iPhone SE got the music haptics feature, but it only works on iPhone 12 and later

[@Shubh_RKO]

After seeing your so many vdos, I think that NF is your favourite artist.

[@zollotech]

One of them

[@EliHayes1118]

That is one of my favorite artists

[@Harry_India]

Everything looks great, but battery life sucks 😢

[@DavidJackTumusiime]

About time more streaming apps copied that Prime Video feature showing actors and music in a film. It is so useful.

[@MatthewTheCCMA]

I hope they at some point add a “Next” button to the Music widget. There are tons of times that I just wanna skip the song and not have to open the App or the control Center.

[@Rozane2525]

Podcast needs finer playback speed increments and silence snipping.

[@DavidJackTumusiime]

Podcasts needs a Iot more work than just that. The app lags far too long to load shows and this has been a problem for multiple iOS generations now. At least on older iPhones from 12.

[@JO02657]

I wonder when (or if) Apple will fix the Siri "looks like Apple Music can't play that" bug in CarPlay.

[@JohnWaid6Plus]

Love these videos covering just the Camera and now to musics ✌️

[@Steve.Dennis]

So... still nothing that would let me exclude specific songs from an automatically generated playlist.

[@Douglas-md6wh]

Aaron what screen protector do you use on your phones ?

[@rafal3000]

he do not use any

[@av-ru-mi]

The only Music features I want to see is the ability to add music from the files app on the iPhone and to be able to repeat a song.

[@2WavyRell]

Can we no longer see who added our playlists?

[@BrajBliss]

Just saying, Crossfade was already there in Apple Music for Android and it even has an AUTO mode that works perfectly. Lmao.

[@zollotech]

Yes it was there, but is being updated in iOS 18

[@GospelJunkie]

What weather app are you using?

[@shahaanzaheer5360]

[@chrism1051]

Does Apple podcast have "Mark all episodes played"?

[@feras6722]

Please help guys im going insane with Apple music beta ! Music keeps pausing frequently the whole song when connected through my car usb car and its not a cable problem because KZbin music works perfectly is there any fix😢 i also updated from beta 7 to 8 yesterday and the problem still unsolved

[@spartanguitar117]

They got rid of the capability of organizing music from ascending to descending order…that’s gotta be fixed

[@nkayyy188]

Great video as always 👍 I just wish Apple gave us a fully customisable EQ. Crazy that we still don’t have one.

[@keenanwilliams3902]

Bless your heart Erin I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge

[@MBOYTWO34]

@zollotech Amazing and informational video! I really liked it! a couple questions, Will all iOS 18 compatible phones get the extended/Smart Crossfade option or only the 15 pro 15 pro max that have Apple intelligence and is the Extended/Smart Crossfade the same as the "Passthrough" feature Apple showed?

[@zollotech]

It’s supposed to be a part of just the main OS itself

[@MBOYTWO34]

@@zollotech Thanks Aaron and I added to the comment, is the Extended/Smart Crossfade the same as the "Passthrough" feature Apple showed earlier?

Glad to see some updates in features. Still not switching from what I’m using. Not an influencer. Play lists on app I use works for me.

[@BrajBliss]

Can you please make vids in 60fps?

[@zollotech]

Most don't like 60fps so I dont do it often

[@kevanted47]

Appreciate the app-based deep dive, Aaron. Especially Music. I always keep a keen eye every year.

[@slingingsteve]

Will Apple ever allow users to re-shuffle playlists on demand? Is it really a shuffle if it's playing 4-in-a-row from the same artist?

[@Gopinathk17]

Why Apple doesn't implement system-wide back navigation like in Android??

Apple needs to implement a connect API to benefit from 24/192 for Apple Music users that have Hifi stereo/headphone systems.

They need to fix podcast on apple watch. Its really a struggle to get podcast only on watch going.

😱

[@betainfo-tech7657]

I've noticed that many viewers have commented on the title of your video, finding it misleading. I think there may be a misunderstanding, so let me explain. A new viewer who isn't familiar with your content or tech videos might assume that iOS 18 has already been released when they see a title like 'iOS 18 - Every New Music and Podcasts Feature'. To avoid confusion, I suggest adding words like 'upcoming' or 'releasing soon' to the title. This way, you'll be considering the perspective of new viewers as well.

[@aussie8114]

Nothing of use to me. Only 2 things I would want is a customisable EQ or even better a PEQ, and be able to star rate my albums so I can remember which are of excellent recording quality. A 3 star system would be good.

[@Ravedaze.]

They could have brought ‘Cover flow’ back! That’s not too much of an ask😕

[@WhoDaCheck]

Its all fun and games until you typed in thirteen letters of the song and still seeing mainstream shit in the search bar 😂 thats the most annoying thing in it, an something Apple should work on. Spotify finds song even if i breath on the keyboard.

3:25 the term you’re “struggling” to find is known as ,”Deaf”. I hope this helps next time so you don’t have to use a lot of words to describe specific people😃👍🏽
