Samsung better😎

[@ricianobommel4298]

Where are the Samsung and Google videos,You're only posting about iphones and Apple, Android Had these features since Android came out n 2003, Apple just keeps copying Android

[@ricianobommel4298]

The last time you posted something about Google and Samsung was two weeks ago

[@Massoudfaquiryan]

Yeah bring these back

[@Shan_Shah]

@ricianobommel4298 the reason why is because of ios 18 beta coverage but he should've made this disclaimer that android has had these features for almost 2 decades expect for AI and Google destroys Apple in the AI department, you don't get features like large model language packages on ios side, you don't have AI in voice messages, in photo editing you don't have the same level of capability and on samsungs side you get galaxy AI keyboard on all app so it's not just limited to mail or iPhone or messages in the Google side, also you get the ability to summarize and translate in Brower and on Samsung notes as well. The only area I'd say apple has outdone android is being able to resize stuffs in control panel and having more costimization, turning there calculator into note calculating app, like you could draw diagram and it will do calculations for you, and being apple to color tint icon, on android you could install icon packs or theme the entire phone but there is no real way to just have the ability to color tint icons.

As an iPhone XS Max user and an iPad Pro 11 inch (which is the 1st gen one) who luckily can have iOS 18, the update is great

[@papajoker25]

Thank you so much! I am still rocking my XS Max. I recently updated to the iOS 18 Beta 1. It’s everything you stated in the video that I am experiencing. I recently exchanged (express replaced) mine for a new one, so my battery is at 100%. My iPhone is running smooth except for those things that you mentioned (heat, battery life dwindling fast, and lag in the control center when scrolling). The final version will be smoother. I have no trouble scrolling through background apps. Waiting for the next beta! Thx Nick!

[@nickackermanchannel]

No problem! Thanks for watching! I think it will Improve for this phone within a few more updates!

[@gloween9151]

Nice, that's what I need)))

[@raffymytaffy]

Hey Nick, I used to have an XS MAX as my first iPhone. It's crazy that it's still running iOS 18, and I wouldn't be surprised if iOS 19 works for it too. If I still had the iPhone XS Max, I'd probably just change the battery, you know, and maybe miss having 5G on it. 😅

[@markwarren4088]

you won't miss 5G... 4G is fast enough and won't drain your battery as fast. Signal coverage of 5G is also another concern, you won't be able to catch 5G on some remote areas...

[@mangageek911]

Damn I'm early ... much love bro❤

[@issorrisigraphic2152]

Cool thanks!

[@nickackermanchannel]

[@seinfarage9959]

How great would it be if any of you tech guys do this test on the iPhone 13 series cuz to me those are the last gen of powerful older iphones n we would love to see how they all perform on ios 18 😊. So far no one has done the entire 13 line up for us 😊

[@Jay.G_]

I have it and the only thing i really did hate the most was the photo app. Why is it now so confusing to go trough all of my albums and recent photos? They should've never touched this app.

[@hergandbiskell1546]

Shorter battery life would definitely be a problem as battery life has always been the Achilles heal of the XS Max. Under heavy use it won't last the whole day running ios 17. Had the battery replaced by Apple two years ago and it's down to 81% capacity. Speed is still ok though.

[@zenojai10]

For the battery widget, it was already the smallest size so you can’t shrink it.4x4 is the smallest widget on an iPhone

Ios 18 may possibly be the final major update for the iphone xs, xs max and xr

[@vedanshchn]

The iPhone X advertisement suggests the widgets being resizable. We’re finally getting that functionality over 6 years later. Better late than never I guess

[@adamlambert8984]

i got xs its choppy when i open what's up its choppy is there any way for the phone not too as choppy thanks nick

[@johnm2723]

I have an iphone xs and it works perfectly with ios 18..!👍🏻

[@stevicamarkovic]

Audio not in sync with video for apps like instagram , facebook etc. after few videos .... It crash apps sometimes, like camera randomly. CC is not consistent with animations and haptic feedback, feels bad. Adding bigger CC functions to CC and making that CC funcion bigger can sometimes make that function permastay on the screen even CC is closed .

[@Drago_on123]

8:40 it's pretty normal i have XS and even in IOS 17 that part it heats up very well and I just throw ice to back of my phone and everything gets to normal temperature

Wait for official update

[@Ray-gg3vq]

i installed the beta on my 14+ and after 2 days it encounters this weird loop where it will crash, restart, turn on, and after 1-2 minutes it will stop responding and restarts again. Couldn't even send a feedback before it restarts by itself. a storage warning appears saying i have low storage, i checked and it shows 50gb system data. Everything's a mess. I ended up reseting it using itunes to 17.5.1. Safe to say I'll probably wait for it's oficial release

[@nickackermanchannel]

Oh my! I haven’t experienced that on any iOS or iPadOS 18 products but that goes to show the betas unreliability. I would probably reinstall 17 from my Mac just like you mentioned 👍

Watching from XR with ios beta 3 , and running smooth no prob at all 7yr old phone what more is XS. 😂❤

[@prodigy455]

I mean the OS isnt fully optimized yet so theres that, but unlike android which covers way more devices, I'd expect ios to work fine on any compatible iphone as its not much of a revamp of the OS, its just the same same over and over without much code difference

[@cpufrost]

Have to say in 2024 still having that dock locked to just FOUR icons and NO dock pages is kind of sad! Also no round robin scrolling of pages... If they only allowed launchers like we've have for over a DECADE on android...

[@TheAziriusShow]

Totally iOS 18 beta bugs. My 15 pro is choppy as well in the same places 😂

[@Mrgamingboy2150]

The beta 1 is also buggy

[@RexRex-tz3dv]

To those people who had iphone 11/12 and want to update their phone to ios 18 beta, I’ll comment based on my own experience. iOS 18 beta have mini stutters but didn’t have app crash compared on this video(XS max) and I find changing the color icons is not the great compared to one ui samsung’s color palette well as expected from beta. My advice is wait for public beta. Thank you!
