Hi Brandon, could you consider doing a video on all the apps/ softwares you use for your mac/book. I see a lot of different app information on your menu bar and was wondering what they are all about. Also, how do you get to show the battery for all your devices on the battery widget? On my M1 MacBook the battery widget only shows the laptops battery and my AirPods (only when they are connected). Lastly, the “Reduce Interruptions” focus mode is only exclusive to Apple Intelligence capable devices? Cause I don’t see it on my iPhone 13 😅🙃 Thanks for the detailed video as always!
@@jasonpaul6297 So I checked both the lockera apps and they don't have any widget that shows the batteries for the other devices. And the default app only shows active devices (like itself and the bluetooth headphone)
Hey, is there any problem with the Camera after update 15.1? my camera on my Macbook Pro M1 become very grainy after the update. Anybody experienced it too?
7:18 I think it’ll be so much better if there was a quicker keyboard shortcut or you could trigger Siri and ask to summarize or give key points. The writing tools seems buried in the right click menu.
Having been away from the latest operating system, I believe it was Yosemite, for my previous iMac. However, I did not dedicate sufficient time to comprehending the Mac OS. I regret not investing more time in understanding its intricacies. Having made the decision to return, I have been conducting extensive research on the operating system from various perspectives using all my current devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPad 13” M4 Pro. The final steps include acquiring a new mini and Studio Display. The operating system is visually stunning. After conducting thorough research and joining several Patreon feeds dedicated to Macs, I am firmly convinced that Macs and Apple are significantly ahead of their competitors.
Simply change the Siri language, system language, and region to US English. I successfully completed this task, and it has been working without any issues. If Apple Intelligence is stuck in the “preparing” state (as it was for me), restarting the Mac may resolve the problem. Fun fact: i rewrote my comment with apple intelligence, lol
Hey Brandon do you play games? How would you like the idea of you playing games on your channel as MacOS finally becomes gaming focused as well when Apple builds the final block that is missing on Mac OS? That would accelerate your channel growth a lot. Now of course I suggest that you do that only if you enjoy gaming.
Please disable the mouse smoothness when recording the screen. The mouse having a delay over what it is hovering compared to what is highlighted drives me crazy. Am I the only one?
I have a question, for those who were Windows users, when deleting text using the backspace key in the terminal (cmd), it quickly deleted what was written in the terminal, and why is it slow on Mac, it deletes very slowly? Is there a way to change this on Mac?
I really wish there was a way to get low power mode while still keeping the display at 120hz. I do not need the extra cpu power but i do want my smooth display. Its a shame these are not separate settings
Thanks for another fantastic video, Brandon! As always, you cover everything so well. All the features are impressive, but the standout has to be the option to finally install apps and games directly onto external drives. It really makes downloading games so much more convenient!
I think there are some bug preventing some features like smart reply and notification summary to work on my m1 mac. Same issue happened on my M4 ipad too, I get it working by resetting all settings. However for macos theres no such option to reset settings and keep data
I have Apple Intelligence Enable can use it with double tap command key, the weird thing is I don't have the rainbow colorful Apple Intelligence icon on my status bar !!! Also the the new focus mode icon is still show the old one.. What is happening ???
Have you figured it out? It's also not showing for me. Or could it be that some features are limited to newer models? I have M1 Pro with 32GB RAM so it should be fast enough 😅
I have an M1Pro MBP and updating to 15.1 made my camera very very grainy. I’ve seen others complain about the same thing on MacRumours and Reddit. Any idea if this will be fixed soon through a patch or if the current 15.2 Beta has the issue too? I’m seriously considering downgrading the software otherwise :/
After watching this video, I directly installed the update (15.1) to test apple intelligence because I have an iPhone 13 and it’s not possible on my phone but apple intelligence isn’t working for me yet. I joined apple intelligence waitlist and it says I’ll be notified when apple intelligence is available for my Mac. I have an M1 MacBook Air, using English USA but living in another country. I hope it doesn’t take forever 😢
QUESTION: Any chance at A.I. integration with GarageBand or Logic Pro?, or for that matter...3rd party software like Microsoft Word? (I will imagine no)
Apple intelligence would come in April, but for me this saving apps on external drive might be useful. I wonder if it would only save main app, or also other data this app generates (for Xcode will it just save Xcode on external drive, or also all simulators, device files etc.) I have only 512GB hard drive, and300GB is taken by system files (maybe Time Machine), so I only have 200 for my own use, and that's not a lot. Xcode takes over 100GB of that, and I need to manage all my files and other apps, to be under 100GB
i have 15.1 installed on my macbook pro and i cannot find any settings related to "Intelligence". Is there anything to set before enabling this feature?
Honestly after getting the Apple intelligence update, I dont think its as crazy of a change as i though it was going to be, as most of the AI features havent even been aded, and even though siri can do more, she still feels lack luster
Can you make the widgets smaller, and how you can add the battery widget to your desktop is different thanks the iPhone or iPad, like you show , please explain 0:30
I’m feeling compelled to switch back to a MacBook because of Apple’s seamless integration of AI features. I currently use a Surface Laptop 4, but the AI features in Windows are only confined to Microsoft Copilot app. Copilot feels slow and boring. I hope Microsoft integrates Copilot into Windows just Apple Intelligence has been integrated into macOS.
Apple Intelligence on the Mac just hits different. Loving it so far & can't wait for 15.2!
Maybe the same features like in iOS 18.2?
Definitely! Loving the new features! It really helps, especially Apple Intelligence! Thank you, Apple!
Been waiting since launch of 18.2 idk if it’s a bug or not
@@CrunchyTacoShell- It’s not. The announced they were slowly rolling it out over the next few weeks.
5 min
I’ll be honest, I don’t have an Apple computer but you make me want a Macbook Pro, instead of just an iPad Pro alone.
Photo drag and drop is awesome.
Absolutely
i applied for apple intelligence a few hours ago can't wait to try it out since i do not have the ios version because i am in the eu
What a labor of love! Thank you for this really informative video. I loved the examples. Pacing was great. I stopped and started it to train myself as I went along.
Definitely some MUCH WELCOMED QOL improvements!!!
Can you mirror your iPad to your Mac like you can with the phone?
I don’t believe so
No, just iPhone
They really should though
You can use AirPlay, but you can”t control it.
You can control your iPad with universal control but it’s never worked flawlessly for me
How long did it take you to get past the waitlist?
7 hours
Still stuck in the iOS 18.2 waitlist…
5000 years
30 minutes
still on waitlist on M2 MBA
Love your videos. Keep it up. Please upload a video of the new Apple intelligence update for the iPad Pro as well. We would appreciate it.
13:32 is bro daily driving a lambo?
Apple Intelligence icon is not showing in menu bar. Is there a way to fix that?
turn it on from control center
oh my goodness a mac video IVE NEEDED THIS

The battery widget is from the Lockera app.

@@StonedNoob You're welcome. The one for MacBook is called "Lockera widgets'.
@@jasonpaul6297 So I checked both the lockera apps and they don't have any widget that shows the batteries for the other devices. And the default app only shows active devices (like itself and the bluetooth headphone)
What is the review of MacBook Air M2 (8gb ram) while using Apple Intelligence?? Is 8gb enough for a smooth experience?
Yes it is well more than enough. 8 GB is sufficient for most tasks. Leave M2, Even M1 8 GB is sufficient for most Apple Intelligence Tasks.
Even macOS 15.1 is the best update because of the new Apple Intelligence features
Hey, is there any problem with the Camera after update 15.1? my camera on my Macbook Pro M1 become very grainy after the update. Anybody experienced it too?
Thanks for the update! Quick question; What app do you use for screen recording? I'm trying to find a decent one.
Screen Studio

I have a M2 laptop. Upgraded to 15.1. There is no Apple Intelligence & Siri in the settings......What's wrong?
Looks great, I must move to the USA to try it out…
Yeah, you can try it out.
Change your device language to US English and you should have full access if I'm not mistaken
Simply change the Siri language, system language, and region to US English. I successfully completed this task, and it has been working without any issues. If Apple Intelligence is stuck in the “preparing” state (as it was for me), restarting the Mac may resolve the problem.

Thanks! I was waiting for this! I won’t get a brew iPhone until next year, but I have a M1 MacBook.
Nice! I love that all M-series Macs are included to support Apple Intelligence
Same, except I don’t plan on getting a new iPhone anytime soon and my MacBook is M3
@@Joker-fj8hg You’re right. You can essentially get AI on your phone through iPhone mirroring on your new MacBook lol
I don’t see me or most people using any of these tools in our day to day. Except maybe the photo editing and proofreading stuff

@@saflanali thank you! 🙏 and I agree, it’s a nice addition!
There is a bug with macOS 15 that is touchbar macs cant use safe boot as it will require volume key which they dont
Apps should be updated to have the writing tools options? I don't see them in Figma or Notion...
I got Apple intelligence enabled on my m3 mba, but there is no Siri button on the menu bar.
You can now tell it to click buttons for you by taking more time to type it out instead.
Command - S is for save. Please tell me you changed it back to ctrl - S 😬
what is the app you have for the battery manager on your desktop that has your battery info for all other devices? Thanks!

@Dave-cg9li I don't know either, mine is MBP 16 M1 Pro and it still now showing👀
me too
Why is my iphone 15 mirroring working but not the drag and drop feature? Do I have to update my iphone to ios 18 or more?
Yes. You’re already on 18 if mirroring is working, but drag and drop requires 18.1.

Hi , I have MacBook m1 , its showing "preparing " after waitlist is over and its about 4 hours.
What's the program u are using in the Menu Bar to track the time you are working?
hey which mic do you use your voice is just awesome
QUESTION: Any chance at A.I. integration with GarageBand or Logic Pro?, or for that matter...3rd party software like Microsoft Word? (I will imagine no)
what tool did you use to record this? how did you get those smooth cursor movements and zoom effects?
Does this work good on macbook air m2 the Apple intelligence?
I just got apple intelligence on my M2 Pro Mac mini and nothing about it is working. Not sure what the deal is.
Hey Brandon, do you have any info on when iPhone Mirroring will be available in the EU ?
Amazing video as always !
April
Apple confirmed it for April. Should be available in beta at some point in Feb/March
@@BrandonButch Thanks for your answer, Brandon
have a nice day !
@@xavier8011 Thanks for your answer :)
Does genmoji work on mac too? If so how? I've been searching but I cant find it anywhere
Its coming to me in Australia in December but do u know what day exactly?
Apple intelligence would come in April, but for me this saving apps on external drive might be useful. I wonder if it would only save main app, or also other data this app generates (for Xcode will it just save Xcode on external drive, or also all simulators, device files etc.)
I have only 512GB hard drive, and300GB is taken by system files (maybe Time Machine), so I only have 200 for my own use, and that's not a lot. Xcode takes over 100GB of that, and I need to manage all my files and other apps, to be under 100GB
are there any negative of using beta version of apple intelignence??
I have Mac Studio M2 Max and I don't see the "listen for Siri" option in the Apple Intelligence menu. Driving me nuts!
I am so happy that i am in EU, paying extra for Apple products and not having access to all the features.
Just modify language to English US 😉
Murica!!
I don't have the apple intelligence icon in the top bar. Why is that?
Love your cat Brandon
i have 15.1 installed on my macbook pro and i cannot find any settings related to "Intelligence". Is there anything to set before enabling this feature?
Is Max OS sequoia ready for professionals to upgrade to? think most of the bug kinks have been sorted?
I"ve been surprised how well it's been.
Wow, Apple is so brilliant, is just like taking chatgpt to the next level with a customize experience
So excited for the next year of updates!
Year, exactly
It’s still in preparing don’t know what to do next. Anybody facing similar issue?
Can we disable the Siri/AI animation?
How do i see my "tags" in my Library folder? They show everywhere else except within Library. Others have reported this problem with no fix on 15.1
How did we ever connect a mouse without Apple Intelligence? Super useful lol
How about Siri on HomePod? is it forgotten?
Is 8gb MacBook Air m3 good for Apple intelligence? I just bought it a month ago, or should I consider reselling and getting the 16gb ram?
It’s not an intensive process. 8gb ram should be sufficient
How did you get the control center on the desktop like that
I have a MBP M1 with only 8Gb RAM so yeah, I will not even bother installing this update, will stay in Ventura forever.
Staying on old versions isn’t recommended. Your device will run it fine.
@@techwithtyler20 will try it then, thanks for the input
Honestly after getting the Apple intelligence update, I dont think its as crazy of a change as i though it was going to be, as most of the AI features havent even been aded, and even though siri can do more, she still feels lack luster
Thank you. Subscribed
I am on 15.1 don't have the apple intelligence section and feel like I am out in the cold. M3 24gb air.
How did you manage to enable LPM from the menu bar? I can only disable it and then the toggle disappears.
Same for me, that’s weird !
Yea same
In Control Center settings, under Battery, turn on Show Energy Mode.

@@techwithtyler20 thank you!
literally have none of this after enabling apple intelligence is something wrong?
Is the Mac version of Apple intelligence already available in the EU? Because on the their website Apple is a little bit unclear...
Happy Halloween, Brandon!
I dont thin it works in non-Apple apps. I cant get it to work with Gmail on Edge. Is there a trick to enable it?
Thanks for your perfect video✌
Can you make the widgets smaller, and how you can add the battery widget to your desktop is different thanks the iPhone or iPad, like you show , please explain 0:30
You can add iPhone widgets.
I've got a 2018 MacBook Pro, so I can't take advantage of the new Apple Intelligence features. :(
Does writing tool work in Microsoft word?
Okay, why can't I access writing tools on my macbook air m1? Apple intelligence is already installed
I have upgrade to macOS 15.1, but why I don't see Apple Intelligence in setting?
Try changing your language to US English. Although it wasn’t available in my country, I changed the language, and it became available.

How is the battery for the macbooks
Overheating on my macbook air m1. I disabled it
Writing tools are not available in all 3rd party apps yet. See Slack and Spark email... 😥
Any problem with creative cloud? I can't install !! It won open since the act.
Will Image Playground be available for the Mac once macOS 15.2 comes out in December?
Yes

This intelligence feature does not show on Europe! Why????
Do you have any idea when apple intelligence will get support for more languages?
December & then the EU in April
After updating to 15.1 the Chrome browser is not responding. Or takes a very long time to open a website. Is this a know problem?
Brandon, My Siri Icon Haven't Changed in App Lauchpad, Is there a Bug?
FYI to all if you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to 15.1 but Apple Intelligence will not be available.
Apple should acquire Raycast and ditch the spotlight altogether.
