You are a rare Jewel, Aaron. Wonderfully voiced productions, void of distracting background music and with sentences carrying their natural pauses. And of course, also highly informative content. Against developing RUclips trends of course, but I like it that way.
Couldn’t agree more. For once a RUclipsr who doesn’t attack the viewers with 10 minutes video saturated with words cut with no pauses and music so loud you can’t hear at all.
Another change I’d like to mention is that now you’re able to access all of the settings for your AirPods/AirPods Pro that you have on your iPhone (adaptive transparency toggle, charging case sound…)
@@Freshbott2 I suggest clicking the "Connect to this Mac when last connected" toggle because if you have it set to "Automatically", it'll always use your Mac as the main device and will connect to it first regardless of the previously used device.
Fortunately I am using Ventura on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. with the help of open core legacy. When I bought an m1 Macbook Pro I thought of selling the older one but RUclips helped me retain and use it till date.
The redesigned Settings app is actually my favorite Ventura update as it’s consistent with iOS. The interface is much cleaner, less confusing. Also, features within the newly revamped Settings app are easier to find.
I don’t like the idea of using a mobile design on a computer OS, especially when Apple has separate OS for various devices. What are we getting next on macOS😊, hamburgers menus and meatballs options?
Being a big investor in the Apple universe I’m so pleased that there’s now more consistency in settings, love my new iPad Air Gen 5, light years better than my Gen 2, even 360 and 4K editing is quick.
really appreciate that you included chapters with this video and shot it in 60fps. smooth video with cool animations and lots of information to understand and learn. i bought a macbook air M1 yesterday and this happens to be my first ever macbook. I always come here to this channel to learn about iOS, iPadOS, and now... MacOS. Thanks Aaron :) appreciate it
@@blacksta-r All of my files are stored on Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud. Only apps are stored locally on the hard drive of my M1 MacBook Air. If something goes wrong, I can just do a clean install without worrying about losing any important files since they’re all stored via cloud services.
Thanks for the precise and clean videos! I like that there is no unnecessary chatting. Although done tiny bits of some humor would be nice but it’s not necessary :)
🫡 can confirm! Theres literally no reason we need to be throwing away our Mac Minis into the trash. Thank gawd for the OpenCore project. My 2012 Mac Mini lives to see another day 😌🥳
Finally!!!!! An OS that I can understand and use. Still, the Spotlight Search from 2008 is the best, was able to find ANY file on my Mac, unlike the present ones
I just finished a major project for University in my graphic design degree where I bounced around 5 different programs and 100s of different files in the process. Stage manager would have been a lifesaver to have during that time. Deffo worth using for later projects.
The one thing I’ve noticed that I don’t like so far is that the Settings panel cannot be expanded horizontally, but only vertically. Would be nice to see better customization with a basic sizing modification…
I found a bug in Ventura that should be reported to Apple as a bug fix. When you have an icon pasted onto a folder, copying or moving the folder to an external disk (USB, for example), the folder itself is copied over, but the icon/thumbnail is 'deleted' (missing) on the destination disk. This issue did not happen on Catalina and earlier. The only workaround I could find is make a ZIP archive of the customized folder then copy or move to the destination disk. Even on the destination disk, pasting the custom icon, picture, whatever does nothing ('rejects'). You do this by selecting the folder, Get Info, and click the folder icon with the left mouse button, and paste the clipboard data of the picture you want, which creates and icon file (it is hidden but will appear if you view the disk on another computer, running Windows). The way I do it is open a picture in Preview, Photoshop, etc. Select the entire image area, copy (to the clipboard), and then paste to show the image on the folder instead of the generic folder when you create a new folder. Another bug is when you plug in an a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray drive, the compact disc icon displays an empty area where only the disk name can be selected.
Wow! This was a fantastic overview of ‘Max OS Ventura’ mate! I’m actually pretty stoked about the design changes in the GUI bringing it in-line with iPad OS and iOS. It’s not just the homogenous design language, but I feel the fluidity and tight integration of all my apple devices is getting more polished and efficient by the year. A decade ago, the iPhone felt wholly siloed away from the iPad, and even more so Max OSX back in the day unless I was physically syncing it up via iTunes and a lightening cable (30-pin prior to that). Now however, everything from my photos, replying to messages via Siri in my ear, or typing on my Mac/Watch (or unlocking the mac with my Apple Watch when I ‘wake it’), or even instant syncing up of my voice memos and notes all works so.damn.well. Very very pleased and optimistic about the future Apple is pushing here (other than that poor decision that made the Apple TV app objectively worse this update 😞).
stage manager looks so useful for multitasking windows on one screen!!! easier to differentiate instead of swiping up with three fingers and looking separately
@@adonespitogonaif not really, all the windows are hidden if the window is full screen (not completely maximized) until the cursor is at the edge of the screen. I have a 16 inch so its not bad but i can see with a 13 or 14
Really feels like with the OS becoming more similar to iOS, with the M chips moving to the ipads, and the ipad keyboard with a track pad, they are gearing up to eventually have iPad Pro running macOS. No idea if this is actually practical, but I would *love* to have an all-in-one portable device like the Surface Pro that I can use as a laptop and drawing tablet.
Not too many nonbiased feature reviews. I love when someone shows off the new features in a way that gets the user excited about the product. Usually there are too many critical negative spotlights in review videos... I love positive reviews that get me into anticipation of the upgrade
Dear Aaron, thank you so much for your video, it is extremely informative straight to the point and I really like how you include extra little things that have been added that would not necessarily be obvious to someone like myself who is a standard end user who also has a disability. I didn't understand the addition of continuity camera and the way that you have described it in a simple and basic set of terms that I understand has made it very simple for me to know what I need to buy extra to add to my iPhone 13 Pro Max to take full advantage of this part of the new macOS Ventura operating system. Thank you again so much I have now subscribed as this is the first time that I have been directed towards your site and to be honest I have found it over and above what I was expecting. Have a good day mate from Australia.👍
I was hoping for more OS updates and not just app updates. The stage feature is nice, but unnecessary if you are using a window manager. It's not a good update for experienced users who don't tap too much into their ecosystem, like multi platform developers who also need to work on multiple platforms like Android and Windows.
Thank you! Your videos are PERFECTION! There thorough, you speak at a pace that is comfortable to follow! Not too far and not too slow! You are the best! I’m subscribing NOW!
Fantastic work by the team. Works like a dream on my iMac 2012. Even think graphics accelleration is more efficient than it ever was under the MacOS 12 patches. Just love it.
Awesome update coverage, as always! Thank you!😊 I need to check on some third party app compatibility then I will upgrade both my home and office computer.
as we interacted, the only concern I personally found is the buttons to close/ minimize & maximize not apppearing on hovering mouse pointer on the top of the page, when finder is opened in full screen. either need to press escape as you said or menu bar >> view >> exit full screen works then. this has eventually added an extra step.
1:19 my OCD is killing me because of that lag when going through settings, that delay when you click before it shows everything in that section. I hope they improve that
It's a move in the right direction, however Continuity Camera left me feeling meh... So much anticipation and it came with no control settings. Using CC for anything more than a simple Zoom type call was a no go. I had hoped to take this feature into streaming. Sadly, this isn't what it is going to be capable of (yet). In comparison, Camo Studio Pro controls all camera settings for iPhone as a webcam. For streaming content this is key, paid app or not, if it's not capable we won't use it. PLUS - another problem is CC only lets you use one camera at a time. No multiple continuity cam setups allowed. Hopefully, Apple brings development in these areas for future releases.
Great video with a good overview of all the new features. Would be interesting if the graceful shutdown feature is now working correctly, in case a Mac is connected to an UPS and shall shutdown eg. after 10 minutes running on UPS battery.
I’m really excited for stage manager, it should make organising all my windows open so much better - seems to be Apple’s answer to the similar Windows 11 feature
Same. Was very excited about this and so far i'm really liking it. I have an ultrawide monitor connected to my M1 Mini so there's plenty of space available for those stage manager 'icons' on the left. I mainly use my machine for working from home and it was always a bit of a struggle to find a good screen layout. For work I have 2 virtual desktops open next to each other and my sound settings and music were always kind of half hidden at the side. Now I can easily group my apps and show them properly when I want to.
I'm missing something. What exactly is different about "stage manager" as compared to good old minimising of the app? Or creating actual other desktops and using mission control to switch between them?

settings reworked awfully, but the opportunity to use iPhone like a webcam - that’s an awesome feature!

So true. I find it impossible to find settings in the old panel, have to use spotlight search. It’s so easy on iOS.
Exactly! I hated the old settings so confusing. everything is much more seamless now.
I don’t like the idea of using a mobile design on a computer OS, especially when Apple has separate OS for various devices. What are we getting next on macOS😊, hamburgers menus and meatballs options?
I liked the camera swap with webcam. Really handy for virtual meetings and interviews these days as Mac webcam isn’t that great.
As long as the interview or meeting is held via FaceTime. Which is almost never, really.
