The rant just sounds like Google/Android needs to clean up their own house before going to Apples house. Make Google messages the default across the board on ALL Android devices. Regardless of carrier or android version. Get 100% RCS Android adoption. Then worry about iOS+RCS. 💁🏻♂️
They need at least 1 true tech professional. For a little more technical explanation on some of this. Nothing wrong with being just a "Tech Enthusiast" but, being BOTH an enthusiast and professional would hold more weight in these episodes.
@@lvalentin91 Google cannot really get 100% adaptation of RCS on Android because of various regulatory reasons. But most of the new Android phones comes with the Google Messages app preinstalled and RCS enabled by default.
the issue I’ve seen so far has been on androids side to be honest. I can’t believe how fragmented that system is and how many android users want to hold on to their own sms system.
I'm a manager for T-Mobile and I'm the only android user, I made my entire crew update their phones to iOS 18 just so the group chat would become RCS Chat, NIGHT AND DAY difference. About time Apple.
I just want to say, the algorithm LOVES this podcast. Every. Single. Time. I watch a tech video, this podcast channel autoplays right after. Every. Single. Time.
When Ellis started talking about a correction, i thought he was gonna talk about how Andrew deserved the point for last week's trivia about the dog lmao. Considering how many people commented about it I wonder if they'll address it next week lol
He’s really gonna have to address the wallpapers app situation next episode. My take is that he launched an unfinished product and hired a 3rd party developer to make or buy the app, and didn’t do much with it so far. It was pretty obvious when I found out the developer of Panels is an LLC based in Florida.
Yo!!!!!! I love Courtney Victoria! Phenomenal landscape and macro. Criminally underrated and exactly the channel that first popped into my head based off of this hype thing. Good on you for making awareness here.
Hats off to the sound engineer-I'm really impressed! The attention to detail was incredible. Every time a trivia question or pop quiz popped up during the conversation, I could hear this perfect background sound building the tension.
Bought the Airpods 4 with ANC and it fits like a glove on my ears and I'm just IN LOVE with it. I do understand it's not the best ANC available but the way it fits perfectly it's just the best ever.
1:01:57 Please do not make the Apple Watch round! You guys can stop asking for that, ok?!! Haha! Not everyone wants one that’s round - I find that shape less useful for a digital watch. Plus, I like that it feels physically more unique to have my analog watch be round and my digital watch be more square. No need to make it circular just to look like every other watch.
The way I've explained RCS to people, especially average iPhone people that are not tech people at all is that iOS 18 has RCs support which will make texting Android phones suck less and that has pretty much done the trick. Especially once they do the update and start seeing red receipts and higher quality images and stuff
I was not planning on upgrading my phone. But last week my iPhone 14’s battery swelled and the back glass was already cracked (who needs a case right?) so I got the 16 in TEAL. It looks awesome but tbh I wasn’t as excited to get a new phone as I expected…
IT"S FRIDAY! 🕺🕺🕺 I have no dishes today, so I'm going to do my absolute best to actually finish off my iPhone 16 models instead of procrastinating on Twitter again. 😝 Then I'll actually be able to make a video about them.
With regards to the Apple Watch and unintended digital crown presses, under Watch Orientation in the General settings, you can choose to put the crown on the opposite side. I do this because I found during push-ups or burpies I would constantly be pressing the crown.
Oh David, I can't tell you how much I adore and love you. Right now I am 56 years old, soon to be 57 and you're so much younger and you're still confused by this. I feel so blessed that I don't understand Snapchat and it's not me. Thank you David
Currently on the XR, great phone, shot quite a few music videos with it. The iPhone 16, with USB-C, improved cameras, camera control and updated industrial design with cameras reminiscent of the iPhone X looks to be a great upgrade.
There’s dozens of us buying the plus. The only reason I had a 12 Pro Max was because that was the only way to get the bigger screen. While I’m sure 120hz is nice, the base iPhone experience is great IMO. I don’t care about camera crap and transfer speeds so unless there ends up being some huge differentiator on the Pro that I gotta have, I will happily stick with getting a Plus every few years.
Apple Watch’s Digital Crown also dug into my wrist so flipped it around years ago and haven’t switched back. It’s also a lot easier to roll it with my thumb now. Setting -> Watch Orientation-> Digital Crown on Left Side
The camera control is only useful for bringing up the camera quickly but if you want to use it for the camera options using the app regularly is much better
they need to have the vertical option for camera control because they want people to use the camera shortcut for the visual AI featues which aren't done at all. this phone just. shouldn't have been released yet.
About the camera control. You can modify the sensitivity and it will change the whole using of the "button". Settings-Accesibility-Camera Control then set it to "Lighter".
Waaait!!! I love my Samsung Messages app! 🤣 I feel like it does have RCS already because of the read reciepts and chat bubbles. Only thing it doesn't have is the reactions. Samsung Messages is just more pretty to me. It matches the color palette I set on my phone.
One correction, guys. RCS has nothing to do with EU. Virtually no one uses iMessage or SMS/RCS here. EU officials explicitly said that iMessage does not have enough users to fall under the DMA regulations.
42:40 Interesting that David doesn't know what 3D means. It's literally a "touchpad" with X and Y axis'. It's 2D. One COULD argue the saturation slider is the third, but come on now :D
I've tried basically every popular bluetooth earbud on the market and the Airpods 4 finally work for me. I was dealing with earbuds falling out, causing my ears to itch/drain like crazy (mostly silicone tipped ones but some others as well), or both. The one earbuds before that did neither of those things was the first gen airpods, which apparently they switched the material from for successive generation supposedly? But at long last, I've found a replacement in the 4s, and they slap.
I’m really happy that I found this podcast! And I’m really sad that every other episode is old news already. Is it worth binging if the information is already out there on the other channels?
Thank you for the update on band and thanks Beth for teaching us all. Ultimately weaving was a precursor to our modern computing world. And it happens to protect us and keep us alive. Ya know.
Isn’t the iPhone’s camera button half-press based on the half-press of the button on the old film cameras from the 1990s? You press the physical button literally halfway to lock the view, and then press down fully to take the picture.
Is there any way for you to sync/connect the video version of the podcast (RUclips) to the audio version of the podcast (Apple podcast, Spotify, pocketcast etc.)? As an audio listener, who often has to go to RUclips and find the specific moment I want to watch, this would be a really nice feature. Love the podcast
For those that have an issue with the Apple Watch crown on their wrist, change the orientation. I wear my watch on my left wrist with the crown in the bottom left-hand corner.
Pro tip for avoiding activation of the digital crown during exercise while wearing Apple Watch: change the orientation of the screen in settings and wear it “upside down”. Pushups and bear crawls are bo longer and issue because the digital crown is then facing away from your wrist.
I find it wild that every ad I see for the iPhone 16 is Apple Intelligence even though that feature isn’t being released until…..December in the UK and even then that is in beta. Wild.
Apple should either just bring the iPhone mini back or ditch the Plus model and simplifying the iPhone lineup: standard, Pro, Max/Ultra. But I really think they should bring the mini back or at least its form factor. Because not only did the 13 mini got lots of love than the Plus model but to me, I think making a modern smartphone small and compact? I can say that is actually innovation.
Yeah, I'm just here to see if the Lights Work.
😂
😂😂😂 leave Ellis alone
Bingo
Likewise
@@brentspotswood Let's gooooo
David cooked there with his iMessage/RCS rant
I feel like anyone who watches waveform knows this, the rants while true needs to go to those who don’t watch this 😂
The rant just sounds like Google/Android needs to clean up their own house before going to Apples house.
Make Google messages the default across the board on ALL Android devices. Regardless of carrier or android version. Get 100% RCS Android adoption. Then worry about iOS+RCS.

The collective “Teams” when asked what was the useless messaging app was funny asl 😂
With ms 365 for business, teams is great. These guys just have way too narrow of an opinion sometimes.
Teams is not for casual use, Teams crucial for my work place
@@AnnamPrasanth agreed!
Give me that RCS PSA as a reel so I can share it.
Screen recording is a thing. Do it yourself.

Youre easily impressed
@@HominisLupis just let him enjoy it, it was a good line
ellis, if you are reading this then know that it was a good line. Regards, an avid ellis line enjoyer.
The worst part of this podcast is that I finish it in one sitting and then I have to wait for another whole week
Well you can always just do anything else.
Give more per week!!!
Sad that waveform is the least popular mkbhd channel. Seems like alot of work goes into it!
More per week!!!
Exactly 😂
My week is better when I can’t do it in one sitting and get to listen to it for 3 days
My week is better when I can’t do it in one sitting and get to listen to it for 3 days
Loved how Marquez rocked out in the middle of the podcast😂
What was he listening to???
That “let him cook” building up during the iMessage speech was everything.
Shoutout to the 3D knit correction. Thank you Beth and Ellis!
Please never change the music, it's literally a weekly routine to hear it
Marques bopping to beeps and boops is the best part of this video
Nice alliteration
👀... looks like he was Wu-Tang'n for a bit
I’ll never get tired of David saying “And I’m David!”
"Do it and don't tell them" Is sometimes how I deal with my family/friends tech...

Does your store have a lot in stock of the maxes?
@@MatrixEdit unfortunately no, our entire region didn't receive any. All ship to at the moment
Which phone do you have and which messaging app do you use?
Shoutout Beth, you carry that one girl.
I just want to say, the algorithm LOVES this podcast. Every. Single. Time. I watch a tech video, this podcast channel autoplays right after. Every. Single. Time.
That's awesome, I agree except I always get Austin Evans videos lol
Just Finished Work In Ireland! Time to listen to waveform and wash the dishes! Cheers!
Marques is really in love with his black ultra 2. I can see the love in his eyes.
When Ellis started talking about a correction, i thought he was gonna talk about how Andrew deserved the point for last week's trivia about the dog lmao. Considering how many people commented about it I wonder if they'll address it next week lol
I thought the same! 😅
Congrats on 250! 🎉 Thanks for making Fridays even better. 😊
Another Friday, another waveform ❤ these roll around so quick!
I cannot wait for the next episode.
Me too
It’s out but not on YT, didn’t seem to address price at alll
250th episodes!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉❤
Also Andrew is right. That's what I do for my mom. I just take her phone update stuff. Give it back to her and then she doesn't really worry about it.
26:01 ngl Marquez dancing is a vybe 😂
He’s really gonna have to address the wallpapers app situation next episode.

We are running into the weekend in the UK, guys and of course, it's the Waveform :) Congrats on the 250th eps
David should get back to saying "Bingo" at the end of the show 😂
If he doesn’t start up again I’m ending my viewership lol
The disclaimer for the AT&T ad is wild and I feel like someone laughed during the Apple Intelligence part.
Yo!!!!!! I love Courtney Victoria! Phenomenal landscape and macro. Criminally underrated and exactly the channel that first popped into my head based off of this hype thing. Good on you for making awareness here.
The world needs a podcast of David’s rants. Pure class 👌🏽
Hats off to the sound engineer-I'm really impressed! The attention to detail was incredible. Every time a trivia question or pop quiz popped up during the conversation, I could hear this perfect background sound building the tension.
Bought the Airpods 4 with ANC and it fits like a glove on my ears and I'm just IN LOVE with it. I do understand it's not the best ANC available but the way it fits perfectly it's just the best ever.
Banger of a podcast this week guys! Absolutely loved how long it was perfect background noise for a workday.
Not a dollar per snap. Because it’s daily users vs yearly income. It’s $1/365 per snap.
Yeah I was like how are they making that much money lol
So when people spam snaps they make hellas
“Snap Shades” would be a better name for those spectacles.
Vibes are always off that charts. love you guys
lol that Paper purse > Airpods max purse moment
HI Marques, this is from someone 5 days into the future.
Don't back the "super dislike" feature. It might backfire big time.

That's a safety issue and Apple should repair it for free.
Instagram stories is the only place I can directly see content from people I follow without random interruptions (besides ads)
Well said bro

Hi from Bulgaria. I've been watching since the beginning, hard to believe it's already episode 250.
LOVE the zoom in's. LMAO
