[@ChrisLawley]

What’s your favorite feature in iPadOS 17?

[@edonim6880]

the updated stage manager is super nice

[@bradleyianfield]

New stage manager

[@kevinfjharris]

Definitely stage manager first and foremost; followed by Apple Notes and Reminders enhancements! Can't wait to upgrade today!!

[@user-kv7np7rw6r]

Didn't get the update still...

[@user-kv7np7rw6r]

I got it yayyy

[@jewellhunt3010]

Loved this overview video... I still remember the iPAD OS 16 video and it's nice to see the progression and changes that have occurred especially with stage manager... a feature I stayed struggling with for the past year.

[@thesandman8642]

Great walkthrogh Chris! Tons of new features. I appreciate how much time it takes to create these videos. It also demonstrates how versatile the iPad is especially with the new OS.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Nobody explains in so much detail on ipad updates like Chris does 🙏. Most other youtubers dosent explain properly. I learned a lot of ipad from this channel . Thank you Chris as always 🙏

[@Daniel-Anghel]

I love the amount of details provided. Good job Chris !

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you!! 😁

[@user-fh6kh5ke9h]

A great overview, thanks! I watched to the end and while I understand your view of Shortcuts (and I agree), the scanning document one will be a HUGE benefit to me 😀. My fave feature has to be the Reminders grocery list 🥕🍎🍍

[@RobHitch]

Excellent video Chris! My old MBP has now officially been replaced by my iPad! Thank you for all the useful tips🙏

[@marcomunoz1146]

Literally just got an iPad m1 today and I’m so excited to try out the new features! Thanks Chris!

[@Alhamdulillah_..]

Congratulations 🎉

[@anngiuli]

This is the best iPad OS update video I have seen. Will watch again because you provided so much content. Based on this video, I will now subscribe. Thank you for all your work.

[@javiernegrin8807]

Hi Chris. Great video, as usual! Love the new stage manager and the improvements in the keyboard layout, it’s so much easier to type now. Still gutted about the lack of improvements in the Files App… I was hoping that they would fine tune it in IPad OS 17 and become somehow closer to the Finder for Mac OS. Oh well. Maybe one day!

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man, exactly the video I was looking for!

[@ChrisLawley]

I hope it helped!

[@bradleyianfield]

The video I’ve been waiting for all day

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.

[@TunedByJ]

Another great video series going over all of the updates, you always seem to cover a few features I forget!

[@jimtipton8888]

Looking forward to the improved stage manager since I use it all the time. Also, I either missed it or you didn't cover the new Safari feature that turns a web page into an app. I think that might be a useful update. Maybe that is just a new MacOS feature. Thanks for the great info!

[@ChrisLawley]

Stage Manager is great now! The Safari thing was technically in a 16 update.

[@suzanner3894]

Great video. The add text to pdf tip was great as I couldn’t add a date to a pdf doc I had. Used the “add text” and was able to easily add it. Thanks.

[@tomsop]

lock screen widgets. I think I am more excited about the upcoming videos - very intrigued about capture card uses and also about the new apps that take advantage of IOS 17

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for your detailed video. Lots of features to like. Blessings on your day!

[@NoahHerman]

amazing video!! :)

[@irvinson4026]

Hello. I appreciated your indepth review of ios17. Stage Manager is really starting to grow on me....😊

[@jhon2k1y]

Stage manager si great now. I really love to manage all my apps.

[@ErwinPfuhler]

wonderful and comprehensive deep dive into IPADOS 17 - thank you so much- Erwin

[@ChrisLawley]

[@impalaO7]

This was so in depth! Much appreciated 🙏🏾

[@Kuldeepanil-gy5di]

You have put so much effort to make video.... Thanks for the video...🌺

[@man-bagdammit2297]

iOS17 is a very nice update for the iPad! Great video Chris!

[@Tei_022]

Absolutely beautiful updates and lwk rare from apple 😂 I can’t wait to use stage manager to help my productivity for my schoolwork & multitasking

[@Plunkidunk]

Anyone wondering, the update should drop today at 10am pacific and 1pm eastern unless there is a problem apple has to deal with

[@ghostonpaws]

I downloaded it, The sticker feature is just so good!

[@Plunkidunk]

I like stage manager upgrades and the "linking other notes" features most!

[@ghostonpaws]

@@PlunkidunkOh nicee!

[@emmgeevideo]

LOL. This comment will last for years. Reminds me of the old poster, "Free beer tomorrow." The free beer will never be today, it will always be tomorrow... I guess the update will always be "today".

[@Plunkidunk]

it will always give us something to look forward to lol @@emmgeevideo

[@GabrielFereira]

man, what a great video.... great job!

[@whistlerbrad]

Great job, this is such a valuable overview for iPad users 👏

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you so much!

[@senorkat-feet7279]

Amazingly informative, Thank you 😊

[@KatanaHYC]

This video every year is like a tradition 🎉🎉🎉

[@ChrisLawley]

I love making them!

[@drdentrepair5530]

Excellent coverage. Thank you

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you!!

[@kbhasi]

(3:06) I sure hope macOS style font management, including support for user-installed fonts, is being planned for the next major iPadOS release or the one after that. I can imagine not only setting custom UI fonts, but adding text with user-installed fonts in stuff like Procreate and GoodNotes.

[@k-i]

i don't comment often but this is such a great video! thank you for showing a real world use for all of the features, i've recently picked up an ipad pro 2018 and have been DYING to find a video that doesn't just skim over everything like a slideshow. the kanban style to-do list is something that'll come in handy to organize college work :)

[@thisbridgehascables]

As a web developer really wish iPad OS had support for localhost and Apache Server.. there are apps but they are clunky and lacking fully access to the system. You could just access a remote server on AwS and probably get something running but it would be really cool to develop offline on my iPad Pro. Also VS Code on iPad would be great too. I still feel the iPad OS is lacking since it’s already over powered with M1 and M2 processing.. really be nice to see the iPad OS getting more robust and more Pro.

[@thedivachannel3790]

Perhaps the most surprising thing is that iPad 6th gen (2018) was still qualified to update to iPadOS 17! Apple was already generous to include that older device during the iPadOS 16 update but we thought it would end there. I was pleasantly surprised with Apple's generosity this year.

[@anywaytechreview]

Most ipad get 5 years of os update Its not a new thing This is the last update for ipad 6 since ipados 16 is supported for ipad 5 but not ipad 17 Ipad 17 require ipad 6th generation and above so likely this is the last update for ipad 6 for sure

[@phil948]

Bonjour, toujours aussi plaisant de regarder vos vidéo !

[@WizArt85]

I can’t wait to get my new iPad Pro 12.9” M2 & Apple Pencil ✏️🙌🏾 Monday can’t get here fast enough 😂 thanks for this video yo. I’m not new to ISO, I’m upgrading from my 2016 iPad Pro & Apple Pencil running IOS 16.6 …. But finally 🙌🏾…. I’m heading into flagship baby, So this video will help me out allot. Because wow 🤩

[@ariasarcana3142]

I’m also getting my 12.9 m2 on Monday! Let’s both have a great day! I got a nice Brydge keyboard for 60 bucks because the company is out of business, but I learned it was bought out so it’s still getting support! Normally it’s 250, a great deal!

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗 THANKS CHRIS,FOR SHARING YOUR EXCITEMENT 🤩😎👍💚💚💚

[@Itzender47]

Less go the update sick

[@prospekt_1]

23:42 I believe you can fix the “robotic voice” by going into Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices. From here you can download and activate an “enhanced” version of whichever voice you want per language.

[@realjackednerd]

I've been binging your videos recently, love your content! Any chance for a video about your Apple Reminders setup?

[@ChrisLawley]

That one is coming very soon! Like in the next couple of days. It's finished and scheduled.

[@PritpalSingh-eo4ms]

I must say “ You have mastered the iPad “ ❤

[@garyolson3315]

Thanks for the video! As an amature astronomer, the capture sounds fantastic! Hopefully I can plug my Canon into my iPadpro and ditch the lagging wireless.

[@t3pmission970]

Thanks, your my go to iPad person!

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you!!

[@BDESAI777]

Thank you for efforts

[@Akella1986]

Another detailed review

[@ZenGoBlox]

Yayyy i am so excited

[@anthonytassos8589]

Great video as always,do you have any link for the camo or the obs for the ipad as you have described it, in your video.Thanks again for your amazing coverage of our favourite device.Greetings from Greece

[@MrKreizikid]

It is the e-ink pad in your cover picture that interests me more 😊😊😊

[@steff120]

by far the best video introducing iOS 17 - congrats! You just keep doing a wonderful job here and I appreciate you very much - one question still remains: where have all my own ringtones gone? I cannot find them anymore under the "ringtones & haptic" section in the settings menue - can you help me with this?

[@carlospcpro]

Amazing 🤩

[@Mike111Chou]

That take out trash reminder must be a reference to marques obsession in reminder apps as well

[@claudioagmfilho]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Awesome video! All that I was looking for was in this video. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

[@julian3551]

this new software update is cool

[@RobFahndrich1]

What stand do you have next to your monitor that you put your iPad on? Great video!

[@miguelpayan8011]

Hi Christopher, if you’re using an iPad, how did you have Finder in iPadOS 17? Excellent video. Thank you and waiting for your response 👍👍🙏🏻

[@DamonJohnCollins]

Any issues with reliability? My iPad is my daily driver. I'd like to play with some of these features, but not at the cost of hourly/daily crashes Thanks for the video, Chris. I love your content!

[@Denniejj]

This is the only video i watch for IOS17. What a perfect explanation! Thanks

[@stephaniecrosthwaite5644]

This is great 🎉I love my iPad

[@kalyanirvs]

Hi ChrisLawley... Amazing Ipad walkthrough. of course I loved the wallpaper collections. I like to know one thing - In the Home screen Dock on left most corner I could see a mac icon. How to add it to the iPad. Can you please share it? Thanks

[@ziggy1267]

I love how you are FaceTiming Vader. 😂

[@Cyberglad]

Wow, a big step up! However 12-inch iPad w keyboard still weights more than a MacBook Air. And smaller iPads aren’t so convenient to do serious work w excel, let’s say. In any case, if they improve file manager, then it will start being decent oS

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

Is there a video on what’s on your iPad? How you organize it? What those shortcuts are?

[@aliencow9220]

I see that Sidekick notepad!

[@RobMcCallumArt]

One other small but very welcome notes thing is you can now save your sketches to photos which you couldn’t do before

[@ChrisLawley]

OHHHH I missed that! Though nobody would ever want to save my sketches. Though your sketches and drawings are defiantly worth saving!

[@vexcarius7100]

I’m an Android phone user but when it comes to tablet, nothing beats iPad ever since its conception.

[@Rob7911]

Could you specifically mention those additions the mini will be getting? - not sure if they’re getting stage manager ever :(

[@Axylrose2000]

Chris, it appears a lot of these new features such as window layouts aren't available on the iPad mini 6th Gen?

[@jaytheunculturist]

These videos are why I'm on my iPad more than my PC

[@scorpio3]

Hi Christopher amazing video!Can you tell me please you worked in the increased space display size

[@ChrisLawley]

Yes I do!

[@groveroq]

Hey! Loved the video. Btw what keyboard are you using? Looks a bit different from keyboard in my iPad Pro

[@ismaelmiber]

+1

[@calebjoe9148]

❤ Nice, This is very android thingy 😊.

[@Mrdominicanworldwied]

Bro where you got those dope wallpapers from

[@Linnnnaaaaaaaaaaa]

HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE I JUST UPDATED MY IPAD

[@Jimmyfly215]

Chris, do you like Stage Manager on your iPad? For some reason, i only find it useful on an External monitor.

[@pgmeier]

It seemed you demonstrated Standby mode for your lock screen, but as far as I can tell, Standby mode is not available in iPadOS 17. If it is, how'd you implement it?

[@nares2005]

Wow, is this the most complete iPadOS video or what? By the way is that a regular size iPad Pro or the big one?

[@JonBushell]

Not here yet and it’s 6:00pm in UK.

[@georgefraser589]

Is all of this written in a document somewhere? My head is spinning with all the information. 😵‍💫

[@ivanisaichykov425]

Have an IPad Air 3 and not gonna update it for the next 2 years, so Stege manager is not relevant for me 😢. Wondering, how this update will work on my device. A bit disappointed with this minor update. There are some features which had to be added since the first IPadOS was presented and wich are more usefull than Health app or advanced spotlight… The video is great, thank you.

[@chrisjoebekham]

wow now im upgrading to os17

[@Toni-uk3oy]

The update worked for me, but my Reminders app is still at the normal level. Without different symbols and just 6 colours. Do you know why that could be?

[@sliban7]

I am the kind of person that I immediately deactivates all widgets 😅 Thanks Christopher nice video

[@sofiaverheyen3362]

For some reason the apple music widget still won't show up on my lock screen. Hopefully they fix it with the next update!

[@Andreasytac]

External displays are near unusable for me since the iOS keeps getting confused as to which screen should have focus and the keyboard stops working on the window I'm actually working in. This has persisted through iOS 16 and now into 17. I don't see it dicussed - but surely I can't be the only one having that issue?

[@johncooper6048]

Still can’t believe I can’t skip tracks on the music widget app. Sick of being drip feed controls others have had for years.

[@alc6370]

Exactly.

[@danielmendez8131]

Wasn’t photoshuffle a shortcut before ? Looks like they baked it in

[@muditagarwal7897]

Got this massive update as per stipulated time of 10:30 hrs IST of approx 3 GB in size.Still iPadOs of my iPad 9th generation in under progress.

[@lykimlong2293]

I have an iPad 9th gen too and I’m updating it now

[@TheShimlamirch]

Updated morning 1 AM ….new limited features are just awsm

[@robertbutcher222]

When it comes to having 4 apps in a grid like you did, is that only for the newer iPads? I’m able to get 4 apps on my iPad Pro 2018’s home screen, but they won’t shrink small enough for a grid, with or without the doc showing. Also, how’s the finder in your doc?

[@francisrolandindahouse]

Hi, did u find any solution for that because i also have ipad pro 2018 and mine does not shrink small enough either.

[@GamingwithDoc9]

Is that update working fine and any issues?

[@diegoteixeira2679]

How do I stop the numeric part from appearing on the keyboard?

[@udance4ever]

anyone have an issue with a regression in iPadOS 17 where the USB-C video output no longer sleeps? it was an issue in Dec 2022 when I got my Dell USB-C monitor and the bug was fixed as of iPadOS 16.6. Unfortunately after upgrading to iPadOS 17 yesterday, it has regressed. I reported it to Apple and wondering if anyone else has this issue. it’s definitely annoying to walk away from my desk and see that my monitor has been on all day or all night!

[@tylerweir591]

Can you please do a 2023 what's on my ipad video

[@fodaveg]

are you using reminders now? what happened to Things 3?

[@DARK-SHIINE]

Is there any performance drop with m1 iPads on upgrading to ios 17?

[@Lifeland]

iPadOS 17 looks amazing! But the only reason I’m not too keen to update is that on the lockscreen they removed the volume slider. I don’t understand why as there normally is enough screen space. Sticking with 16 for now.

[@Bi_Demi_Girl]

what do you mean they removed the volume slider? are you talking abt when you change the volume level because if so it hasn’t been changed or removed on neither lockscreen or homescreen

[@Lifeland]

@Bi_Demi_Girl I'm talking about the physical volume slider under pause and skip buttons. It's present on OS16 but not on 17. They changed it to make it look more like iOS. You can still change it via the side buttons but it seems silly

[@bankruptsee]

Lock Screen customization is cool.. don’t notice much else different on my m2 iPad Pro.. besides using Apple Pencil and good notes for taking meeting notes, i still try to justify the purpose of the iPad daily when I have an iPhone and the M2 MacBook Air.. good for throwing a kids movie on when in the waiting room for my kids also but not much else.. not much more useful than an iPhone yet far from as capable as a MacBook..

[@ghost-user559]

What do you do for work or hobbies?

[@mpomerlo]

How to get the number row on the keyboard?

[@abdol4615]

Is there any difference in battery 🔋 ? Between iOS 16 and 17 ?
