As a former Senior Advisor at Apple, Car Play has long had issues. The problem is that support is foisted onto the car dealerships. I always went out of my way to help Car Play users, by setting up a screen share to their phone, opening the camera app, & pointing it at the car’s infotainment system, because I knew they wouldn’t get anywhere if they went to the car dealer, like we were told to tell them.

[@rollinburket]

as basically a lifelong iOS user, CarPlay has had numerous issues like linus showed for quite a while. but since the first iOS 17 beta, by far the most annoying issue has been a very noticeable stutter or hiccup in audio playback at exactly 15 or exactly 30 seconds into a song. this has persisted into 18 beta and the full release

[@potatobearsmo]

7:00 Another reason that I can think of that may have caused Linus to get used to the landscape orientation having the top of the phone on the left side and the bottom on the right side is because that is the default landscape orientation at least for Android, when auto-rotate is locked to portrait and/or the "Sensors Off" developer setting is enabled when the phone is on a flat surface. Also at 40:52 it was originally what Luke was theorizing, with notifications being on the left/center and control center being on the right, but Apple never updated those areas after the notch shrunk/turned into an island, so it seems unintuitive.

[@Shzl47]

Regardless of what the default orientation is, it should still switch to face you based on the tilt of the phone because it's an orientation lock - not a rotate lock. I just tested it on my Motorola, and with Auto-Rotate Off, Lanscape-only apps will still rotate to face me based on the tilt of the phone. I'm sure a lot of android users are used to this behavior when keeping that setting turned off. I always keep Auto-Rotate Off because switching from Portrait to Landscape based on diagonal tilt is finicky and always happens when I'm not holding the phone horizontally. In order to comfortably use an iPhone, I'd have to regularly toggle off the lock when using Landscape-only apps and then back on when I'm done (hope I don't forget).

8:06 I think that orientation lock thing _is_ an iOS 18 bug. I’ve been using iPhones for over a decade now, and I didn’t remember ever running into that problem, so I stopped the video to experiment. I tried several video apps and several games and a couple other things, and I couldn’t get any of them to do what you showed. • If I enabled orientation lock while the phone was vertical, everything stayed portrait in KZbin (maximizing the video left a mostly black screen with a landscape video across the middle), Netflix and a couple of the games forced left-landscape, and everything else stayed portrait. • if I enabled orientation lock while the phone was already in left-landscape, the video apps and games stay locked in left-landscape and the other apps insisted on switching back to portrait and stayed locked there. • if I enabled orientation lock in right-landscape, the video apps and games stayed locked in right-landscape and the other apps insisted on switching back to portrait and stayed locked there. I’m running iOS 17.latest on an iPhone 14 Pro. While there’s clearly a default (left-landscape), and that’s backwards from how I usually use my phone (left-handed, so I’m more likely to flip it to right-landscape, i.e., rotate it clockwise 90° when I want landscape), for me the orientation lock doesn’t have a preferred landscape orientation, and will preserve whichever one you’re in when you enable it. And that’s my recollection of previous iOS, too. From my recollection, what’s new is that orientation lock has become “portrait orientation lock”-it used to just lock whatever orientation you were in when turned on. Not sure I like the new functionality.

[@joeyl.3007]

Mine (16PM) seems to work like Linus', and I think "Und ONLY ONCE" is actually intentional. It SAYS Portrait Orientation lock, but what if the user opens a landscape app like a game? As Apple seems to see it, the intention behind someone using Orientation Lock is to [stop the damn phone from rotating], so what is the phone to do if an app forces landscape? It carries that same *intention* to the game. But rather than assuming you want it to be left landscape or right landscape, it just lets you choose. If you open the app, it goes one way, but if you've turned the phone so the opposite side is "up", it knows it's probably supposed to be in the other landscape direction, so it flips once to the way you're actually holding it, THEN it locks *that* orientation in place. This way, you can just always leave Orientation Lock on, but at the same time, you (hopefully) don't ever need to worry about it locking in to the *wrong* landscape orientation. Whether left or right landscape, just turn it the way you want it, and it will stay locked in that landscape direction until you leave the app.

KZbin PIP requires Premium and (I think?) is off by default. The camera button is half baked. I get what they were trying to do but the shutter button and the wheel on an SLR are separate for a reason. The axes are split so you don’t need robotically precise fingers to use the controls intuitively. Combining them into one button for the phone introduces input confusion. Search settings are just dumb. “Camera button” gets you no results. “Camera control” (the name of the feature) doesn’t return all relevant results. You absolutely can long press for special characters.

15:40 Swipe-to-go-back (or as the SDK calls it, the interactive pop gesture) is an automatic feature of UINavigationController. This controller has been available since the very first version of the iOS SDK, and the interactive pop gesture was added to all apps using that controller a bit later. Linus mentioned that swiping back doesn't work in a lot of apps, and my best guess is that those apps aren't using the standard iOS navigation controllers at all. This would mean there isn't much Apple can do to add a better-placed back button or behavior in these apps with the "old iOS paradigm" of navigation, because they're not actually using iOS navigation controllers to begin with. (Technically, developers can disable the interactive pop gesture if it conflicts with other gestures on a page. However, this is usually only done in apps where swiping from the edge of the screen is important for other functionality, like in drawing apps.)

Also, in android, you have to click build number 7 times to unlock dev options to set animation speed. So it's even more hidden.

For me, CarPlay vs Android Auto is the complete opposite. Android AUto RARELY connects wirelessly, music apps (BOTH Spotify and Apple Music on Android) don't have audio from time to time, and the solution was to grab the phone, close the app and open it again. With CarPlay, so far, everything has been smooth and working. So it depends. On a lot of things.

[@gamechannel1271]

I have been using the android swipe gestures, going back can be done with a swipe from either the left or right edge of the screen. I haven't found any apps yet where this breaks the user experience, so it's fairly convenient and stable. Especially since android has always had a back button so it works on all apps.

Scroll speed is inertial. As you continue scrolling, it speeds up. Also, tapping the top of the screen above the island jumps it to the top of the page

[@misfitsman805]

His tiny hands don't move that fast.... 🤣😂🤣

[@QuietWind01]

First, you're using the word "inertial" wrong. If it scrolls based on the force or speed of my swipe, THIS would be inertial scrolling. What you are describing is probably closer to accelerated scrolling, or maybe something new that you could call "additive" scrolling. Believe it or not there are different types of scrolling behaviors and one of them IS "inertial scrolling" which is not what you describe. Second, I would absolutely HATE that. Especially if I want to just scroll fast immediately. I have to scroll over and over just to get up to "speed" and it doesn't take into account the force or speed of my swipe/gesture??? Or am I misunderstanding? If I'm not misunderstanding, this is moronic and if it's anything like older IOS versions, it would drive me crazy to the moon and back.

@@QuietWind01 it was literally called inertial scrolling by apple when iOS 11 was released in 2017 soo

[@stevenmclaren2772]

@@QuietWind01 if you swipe a little, it moves a little. But if you continue to swipe a little over and over, the scrolling gets faster and faster

[@QuietWind01]

@@stevenmclaren2772 Then your explanation of it is incorrect or I misunderstood it. Are you sure that it doesn't change with the momentum of the swipe? It might have been called that by Apple for a specific reason but in general, the explanation for the name you're using is not accurate

[@Nadimprodutions]

I think one thing to note is that iOS 18 in general seems to be significantly more buggy than previous versions. Like I’ve had a lot more time where I needed to reboot since upgrading

[@natbarmore]

41:36 it’s not just location, it’s location and angle of the swipe. iOS (and macOS) has always been very clever about noticing the difference between “diagonal, but I meant to swipe vertical, I’m just a clumsy human” and “diagonal, because I meant diagonal”. So if your swipe is anywhere to the right of the island and at a significant diagonal, you’ll get the Control Center. If it’s closer to directly vertical, you’ll get notifications. And as near as I can tell, you can’t switch control center to the top-left corner if you’re a leftie, so I’ve linked it to double back tap.

27:51 "My" android phone. See there's the main problem with Android for a lot of non-tech people. I know Androids mostly work the same but sometimes the UI and features are different between brands. On the other hand, every iphone made in the last 7 years (except the SE of course) works pretty much the same way. This is less of a deal for tech savvy people, but for non-tech people and those of us who have to do tech support for our family, iPhone is just easier.

App by definition is everything else except for the OS core. And it doesn't even need to have GUI at all, it can be just a code running in background, still would be an app.

[@NASA-Shill]

Carplay works great, I’ve rarely had any bugs. You probably need to do what is recommended after buying any device and load a fresh copy of the OS instead of using the factory installed OS.

42:20 I HATE how Apple made Reachability harder to trigger. So many issues were solved/resolved with the home screen button. Now it's a mess of gestures to do half of what I could've easily done before. I constantly have to trigger it to get to all the new crap they stuck on the top of the screen now. And to trigger it now it's this awkward pull down on the bottom right that usually fails. And even once I do any of the interactions on top it instantly sets it back too.

[@roshan002]

Hey there! I use reachability all the time too, I've found that a more reliable way to trigger it is to swipe up(like you would to enter the app switcher) and halfway through that animation you flick the app downward. The app forces itself into reachability. Let me know if that helped!

[@colinstu]

@@roshan002 hmm I see. I’ll give this a shot for awhile and see if it’s better than just the flick down. Ty
