macOS Sequoia 15.2 Released - What's New? (Apple Intelligence)

[@BrandonButch]

Which new Apple Intelligence feature are you going to use the most on your Mac?

[@KyIeRaii]

All of them!

[@JustACar00001]

I don’t have one😢

All

Native ChatGPT app that I already downloaded and have used for the past year. 😂

[@JakeBradfordGuitar]

I guess none because I don’t have the ChatGPT extension option …

[@sazomedia]

I found it hilarious that the ChatGPT query that put you over the limit was asking "what is 2+2?" Hahaha

15:40 this was always the default behavior when dragging items to the top of the screen, I appreciate that it can now be turned off, because it really annoyed me.

[@BrandonButch]

Exactly. Glad that toggle is here to disable it

[@janmencl7471]

For anyone who does not speak english as a primary language, the "writing tools" buttons in the notes app will not work for non english text. However if you select the text and click compose you can write to it in your own language and it will be able to do all the same things (make summaries, write professionally, make bullet points or a table... ).

[@zimoluo]

Strange to see that genmoji is entirely missing

[@solaceafk]

right

[@1TechCritic420]

Missing from the video maybe. Works fine on phone.

Again, as usual, Brandon, great summary of the updates!! 🤘💪

most funny thing is at 4:46, I love that 12 year old's perspective 😅

[@VladTepesRomaniaPSN]

What’s the battery life like on the MacBook , as I’m still on 15.1 and happy with it.

[@mikey7326]

The more videos i watch about macs, the more i want one.

[@QuantumCanvas07]

I wish you one

[@1TechCritic420]

I’m thrilled with the 18.2 and 15.2 updates. There haven’t been any issues within the betas for me. I’m delighted to be back on iOS after experimenting with folding phones and Google’s abysmal customer support. I love my 16 Pro Max and the new writing tools, as well as the integration of Chatgpt and it being anonymous to use. Not every move being tracked.

[@kokumbo]

😂

[@dreamsneezer8668]

If you have a web browser and an isp your every move is being tracked

[@michaeljarcher]

Excellent roundup content. No fluff just the real useful info thanks.

[@siddroxx2011]

yo that chatgpt steve jobs poem HIT. “Wishing my apple would stick out its neck” BARS 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CosmicJournee]

I feel like I got a MacBook right on time. This ChatGPT stuff is insane to me. It’s basically like two robots helping each other, whatever Siri can’t do ChatGPT will takeover! Apple is the GOAT. 🤯

[@wade9271]

I agree. I feel like people are really underestimating how impactful this update will be to all users. Like the ability to seamlessly generate images, charts, or just rewrite text an in finite number of times to fit your exact needs is absolutely insanely useful.

[@CosmicJournee]

@ yes!! Apple is finally doing things that other companies don’t have again. It’s exciting!

[@MrPoliarinis]

are you using some strong drugs? In fact, this Apple AI stuff is super weak for this time :D. It cannot even be compared to Samsung's integration of AI on their Android devices, or Microsoft Copilot is totally on the next level...

[@madisspiegel]

Thank you for creating such an excellent video! Your attention to detail and clear explanations made it easy to follow and understand. I really appreciate the effort and creativity you put into your work. Keep up the great work! (Written by writing tools, sorry!)

[@nishantdev]

16:05 was available on 15.1.1 as well

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@vegetalno]

It's kind of disappointing genmoji is exclusive to iPhones, is there any reason for that?

[@BlueStarSky369]

thanks so much!

[@ninobien]

Thank you. Really to little to upgrade.

[@RT-wk1bd]

I have a new iMac M4 with Sequoia 15.1.1 and a mouse. However, I cannot find a way to scroll with a side tab. For example, in Photos I cannot find a scroll tab to move down the photos in my library. Even in Safari I cannot find and thus scroll down or up to see and select a website from the side menu (e.g., MarketWatch). This is so frustrating. In fact I have to go my other iMac with Sonoma 14.6.1 to again easily do work. Forget about AI if the new system is so complicated that one who has used Macs for years cannot figure out how to scroll to select items.

[@praveenmishra2733]

Why does Chat Gpt is not showing in my Mac mini M2 after update? Asking from India

[@xoannar]

how does this affect the battery life?

[@trosra7852]

stupid question but why does a 60 fps video of movement in the macOS interface look so much smoother than moving the cursor or a window on the exact same 60hz monitor in the exact same OS?

[@flesz_]

I just did an upgrade to 15.2 I noticed my second monitor has now the top menu bar open, of whatever application is active. It's a brown stripe which wasn't there before. For example I have chrome open now and I can see the top apple icon, Chrome, File. Edit , History (etc, chrome settings). It also reduced my screen size as it takes like 1cm from the top. Previously I had that menu only on the main laptop screen. Is there a way to hide it? EDIT: found it System Settings > Control Center > Automatically hide and show menu bar > Select 'On Desktop Only'

[@praveenmishra2733]

Why doesn't Chat Gpt is showing in my Mac mini M2 after update? Asking from India

[@krbenyo]

Thats is very useful! Thanks, can i ask what is the app name on the left like a to do app? - 13:22

[@BrandonButch]

Reminders!

[@gabrieles02]

Hasn't dragging the window to the top and entering Mission Control been a feature for quite some time now? I'm on 15.1.1 and I have it. I remember using it when I was on Sonoma as well. Maybe now you can just toggle it off.

[@BrandonButch]

Yes correct. You could never turn it off before

[@Lazer-w]

I'm so happy it can now be turned off, I hate that feature, especially when you can drag to the top to go full screen, it's confusing when it does 2 things when dragging to the top.

[@sam-------]

@@BrandonButch the toggle is actually available with 15.1.1, but never have I ever caught you making a mistake, turns out, you are human

Does anyone know when mail categories will make it to macOS? Thought it was going to be this update.

[@BrandonButch]

Apple has never said when. Hopefully with 15.4

The drag to Mission Control Feature was there before, they just added a toggle for it to turn it off.

I wonder why Genmoji isn't available on macOS 🤔

[@dominicpicarazzi3465]

the mission control toggle was already in 15.1, because i turned it off for the window snapping. just want to put it out there that it is not a new toggle to 15.2 no hate

I'm confused why apple removed the calculator widget that I used to have when I would swipe from the right edge of trackpad. They removed it a while ago and never went back.

might be slightly off topic but i couldnt find an answer elsewhere, i updatet my mac and my iphone to the latest version, macOS 15.2 and iOS 18.2, and now iphone notification mirroring doesnt work, and wont appear on my mac, although iPhone Mirroring does, last time i had this problem i fixed it by updating my mac to the latest version, but now it doesnt seem to work, does anyone else experience this problem? thanks

I have a feeling that innovation at Apple has stalled. It seems like the OS developers have reached the age of grandparents and are now developing things that the grandchildren can have fun with on their grandparents' iPhones and Macs when they visit them.

[@Maple_Tachibana]

This is great as I would not have to deal with the limitations of uploading only 4 images to chatgpt to analyze. I guess this is a "paid" version that comes with Macbook! A win win situation.

[@RaghavVijay]

Awesome Brandon, being using the new update for a few hours and it’s definitely interesting, ChatGPT integration is crazy, the image playground is cool but needs some work. Also can you use image wand on the MacBook or not?? Regardless Macos 15.2 is really cool and it’s really enhanced my experience so far!

[@breedlovejason]

they really should have added type to siri in spotlight instead of yet another keyboard shortcut

[@BrandonButch]

That would be super confusing if they did that!

[@1TechCritic420]

Just no. Horrible idea. Lol Not hard to hit shift option or shift command.
