iOS 15 Top 5 Feature iPhone | All in One Update

 



Hey what's up All in one here

this is an iphone 12 pro max

and it's running the software that's

going to be on the next iphone

the 12 s or 13 or whatever it's called

it was unveiled

about a month ago at wwdc and it's ios

15. in this video i'm going to show you

all of the stuff that i think makes the

biggest difference the new stuff

in this new software now i'm going to do

a separate video

on ipad os 15 because

i've been using that for a while too and

that's a whole separate set

of features and hopes and

thoughts and expectations but again

that's coming in a later video so

definitely make sure to subscribe if you

haven't already

to be among the first to see that but in

this video let's focus on what's coming

to the iphone and i'm going to go in

order of

least exciting to most exciting to me

maybe your order is the same also how

about that new wallpaper eh i kind of i

kind of dig the new ios wallpapers i'll

link

some sort of collection of them below if

someone's hosting it somewhere

okay so number five the redesigned

stock apps yeah i said it the weather

app is kind of nice now

now i still can't forgive apple for

buying dark sky

and then just stealing it from android

like i literally hate that every day

that was the best android weather app

but they've been building all of that

information into the apple weather app

now and it's got a fresh coat of paint

over everything

there's these big full screen animations

sometimes it's sunny here and you can

see that if it's rainy you can see the

rainy animation

i imagine snow and hail would look

pretty cool too so that is nice the

iphone's new clock app also

looks mostly the same but one subtle

thing is it lets you type

the time for your alarm instead of

having to deal with the sliders all the

time so it's small

but i see that as a small win safari

is a little more controversial but it's

redesigned as well and it includes an

address bar

down here now at the bottom which yes

means it is by definition

more reachable but now it kind of moves

around a bit more fluidly

like it disappears when you scroll it's

looking pretty full screen all the time

but then you can swipe across it to

switch between your open tabs

and when you want to type in it it moves

back up to the top so it's a little more

fluid

i think it's going to take some getting

used to but then last but not least i

want to highlight

apple maps now it's been the butt of

jokes for many years

i still don't use it but they have been

relentlessly improving it

catching up to things like google maps

and adding features that are

pretty unique and interesting so this

new version has much more

detail and has a lot more 3d models of

various buildings and landmarks now

certain cities will get it much earlier

than others if you look through san

francisco for example

way more details way more trees and

buildings are modeled here

if you look through new york city

there's a couple skyscrapers mapped out

but

they don't show up at every zoom level

so it's still being built

and if you live in a smaller city well

you may never see this stuff

but it is cool that they're adding it so

all right then number four

facetime i'm separating this out from

the other apps because

it's pretty important and let's face it

a lot of iphone users are about that

face time life

they've added a bunch of uh tweaks and

improvements and new features here too

so there's spatial audio and facetime

now so in group face times people's

voices

come from the direction they're oriented

on the screen

there's a new grid view too so it's neat

you can see everybody

there's portrait mode added so you can

blur your background

and different microphone modes so you

can choose standard

isolating voices or wide spectrum

microphone modes depending on if you

have a lot of background noise you want

to cancel or if you want to keep the

vibe keep the coffee shop environmental

noise but there's two really

big new facetime features here share

play

and facetime events okay so share play

this is maybe something we're doing more

in

pandemic times than ever but you know

how if you're facetiming someone and you

want to watch something

at the same time as someone on facetime

now that's built into facetime so as a

feature you can listen to

apple music together with someone or

watch tv shows

or movies on apple tv with synced

playback controls

so one person pauses it pauses at the

same time for everyone

one person fast forwards or scrubs

around to show you something

it'll fast forward for you too way

better than trying to keep this in sync

manually and shareplay has a new api as

well so

obviously apps will be able to build in

and plug into this we currently have

the disney app and hbo and espn i'm

hoping for other stuff maybe like

spotify

maybe netflix youtube would be nice so

these will

these will be added hopefully in the

future but then also facetime calls can

now be events

meaning you can add them to your

calendar you can also share

a link to them which might sound like a

certain other couple apps we've been

using a lot lately like

zoom which means people on windows

desktops

and people on android phones can click

the link

and join a facetime call so you can

technically say you have

facetime on android now

[Music]

[Music]

all right feature number three is called

live text

and this i think is really smart really

cool so this is all done on device

and basically now any image you have

with text in it from your camera or just

anything in your gallery

you can long press the text in that

image

and it'll recognize it and let you do

anything you can normally do

with any other text you can select all

copy it paste it somewhere

you can translate it and i've been

messing around with this in various

images of all kinds

text printed even written text and it's

been pretty good at working really well

plus you can use that lookup feature to

get some serious suggestions

that are sometimes useful especially if

the name of the place

or company is somewhere in the text then

siri can find it siri's still not that

smart yet so it's got to be something

pretty obvious it does not work for

videos i've tried but it's it's pretty

great on a lot of photos

and also works uh with photos of animals

so i took a picture of this cat and

long pressed it and it tries to tell me

the breed i have no idea if that is the

actual breed of this cat but that's

pretty cool that it tried

and it's kind of approaching what google

lens has been doing for a while now but

even more intuitive since you can just

literally long press straight on a photo

without a separate app it just kind of

works this specific feature works with

devices with a12 bionic

or later so not every older iphone will

get this but it's pretty good

i just like it's catching up to google

lens now google lens will identify

more things like it'll just try to id

anything the shoes you're wearing the

type of car that drives by

and this is a bit more limited now but

maybe someday in the future this will do

all that stuff too okay so number two

notifications

now i'm still saying this with a caveat

which is that

they still have a long way to go

android's notifications have

forever been way better than ios's

notifications but they've made some key

improvements here and some stuff that

i'm happy to see first of all again

a fresh new coat of paint you can see

this new design with bigger

photo icons you know app icons to the

left i love that that right away makes a

pretty big visual difference and then

there's a new feature called

notification summary so if you don't use

your phone for a while basically if

you've

gone to sleep and wake up or you haven't

used it for a bit

it'll round up all your low priority

notifications and put them in one place

so that seems nicer than having to go

through the whole list and deal with

them all

i just don't know what what exactly

qualifies as the the low priority stuff

that shows up here is it just messaging

apps that get through

is it everything gets rounded up into

this i'm not exactly sure yet but then

you have extra control

over what notifications show up because

you can turn on focus mode

and the person you're messaging will

actually see that you have notifications

silenced and actually brings me to my

number one feature by far

focus modes so and this actually works

universally across

all your stuff so if you have an iphone

also your apple watch

and your ipad and your mac and as

someone who likes customization who uses

an android phone most of the time for

customization

this is the best like version of that

i've seen on the iphone in a while it

kind of feels almost like

separate profiles even though it's not

quite that check it out you can go into

your quick settings and

long press here and you've got a couple

focus

modes there's do not disturb there's

sleep mode but also

a personal and a work by default and

each of these settings

at a basic level let's different

notifications in

from different apps and different people

so do not disturb mode

silence is pretty much everything work

mode doesn't let your

fun apps notify you personal mode

doesn't let your work apps notify you

and so you can customize what those apps

are and who can talk to you

in each mode but then you can choose a

bunch of other settings about each focus

mode too so you can have them

automatically turn on or off depending

on location

or time of day and you can literally

choose

only certain home screens to show up

when you have

a focus mode activated so you can have a

home screen set up for when you're at

work

that doesn't show your distracting

social media apps and then when you

switch focus modes or you get home for

the day

you can have a separate home screen that

shows up with all that stuff or whatever

other focus mode

you want to create seems like you can

just make as many as you want a gym one

a driving one a reading a gaming one

whatever it's pretty sick and on top of

all that customization like i said they

sync across all your devices so

if you enable work focus mode on your

phone all of your stuff is in work focus

mode and then

you get home and home mode gets

triggered automatically for location

everything starts getting your personal

notifications again so that's pretty

sweet i made a video about why some of

apple's features

take longer to build and implement i'll

link it below like button if you haven't

already seen it

but it's a great video i recommend it

but that's it now of course

there's way more than just five new

things with ios 15. they had a whole

two-hour keynote so of course there's

lots of small stuff that didn't make the

cut for me

um things like improved spotlight with

way more siri suggestions

things like uh the improved offline

speech-to-text recognition which is

sweet and just various performance

tweaks and improvements but

generally i'm liking ios 15. it's

looking

and feeling a lot better and you can let

me know if you agree with the order of

my top five or not but it looks nice

almost as nice as my skillshare class oh

yeah that's right some of you may

already know

that i have made a skillshare class all

about like the way that i

create videos some of the review videos

you've seen

some of the latest videos on the channel

and how i go about that whole process

from end to end so skillshare for those

who don't already know

is an online learning community for

creatives where you can find thousands

of inspiring classes

to learn something you don't already

know so photography

illustration music making mkbhd videos

it's funny because i identify as

self-taught mostly like i

didn't go to school for most of the

things that i do here now

making these tech videos but i always

wish there was

there could have been something that i

could have followed along

that could help lay this sort of steps

and fundamentals out so that's kind of

what i've made is what i wish i had back

at that time and i've also gone through

other skillshare courses

to learn other people's perspective on

doing things like there's one

specifically on

iphone photography and filmmaking with

caleb and niles for a moment and you can

see the way they do things and the way

they think about things.
