Update: Here's a *deep dive* on the new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.2: ruclips.net/video/B7Z3JWqJtAw/video.html Did I notify you of the update before your iPhone did? 😅
Awesome video (as usual)! Suggestion: make a 2 minute version that covers just highlights for my girlfriend who rolled her eyes when I tried to get her to watch this 45 minute masterpiece. I’m sure lots of “normal” iPhone users have no idea what a big update this is
My wife says the same thing, "He just goes on and on. Why do I need to watch this?" But she would watch two minutes. Me, I watch every minute of your stuff, Brandon. And I've no idea what you should take out...I kinda need it all. I can hardly wait to see what you do to provide a short-view summary of changes!
I thought it looked nice but I agree overall. I like to see all my mail coming in and don't want to go searching through different categories to make sure I read everything. Its probably a useful feature for busy people who get hundreds of emails a day
For anyone wondering why they don’t get the Mail categories i have the solution. You NEED to have you Mail app in English. It only works if your app has English as the language selected. I’m in Europe/Spain and that’s how I managed to make it work. I have an iPhone 13 Pro if anyone wonders.
The updates to the Mail app are life-changing. I have thousands of emails from different colleges advertising to me, this might help with mass-deletion.
The new Mail app is all over the place. The different styled colors and shapes of the senders' icons, from the gradients to non gradient. Then the alignment looks off with the different shapes, text alignments etc.
Rarely, don’t really like what the playground people looks like and genmoji I don’t have the creativity to make something useful. Edit: After I saw what Brandon did I played around with it a lot more and probably every feature since I have been on most of the RC and it was actually pretty good when I found out how to take a photo it liked and how to promt it «correctly»
Great video…very informative stuff. I’m so glad they fixed the photos app. Lots of great enhancements that make me glad to have upgraded to a 16 pro max from my 12 pro.
I watched your video yesterday before downloading iOS 18.2. and I’m now experiencing battery drain way more than before the update!! I kinda wish I didn’t download the new update!
Yeah! when ever you run a new iOS update on your iphone it takes about a week or some days for everything to be installed. With no time your phone will be performing perfectly.
Thank you, Brandon, for the details! You are my go-to for Apple news. I have an iPad which gets Apple Intelligence and phone that does not. So I’m thankful that you started with the non Intelligence features first
it lets you customize how you want it. I basically setup very clean again how it used to be. I even hid to utility category because I basically never used them
HI Brandon. Huge fan from Scotland. I have just got home from work saw my notification for your post. Coffee in hand and about to sit and enjoy your new features review. Thanks for always keeping us informed with all the latest updates. I swear your channel has helped me master the new updates. ✌🏻 ok time to watch and learn.
Editing photos with the Markup tool still completely destroys an images brightness. Can’t believe they still haven’t fixed a bug that renders one of their features completely useless.
1. Is there a universal back button? 2. Can you change the keyboard height? 3. Can you set any downloaded file such as MP3 as a ringtone without using Garage Band or Mac? 4. Can you do a screenshot on a third-party app or browser? I'll wait .
omg thank so much i swear this update the best thing i like is that photo zoom out because every time i am in the class if i click one slide or one pic i saved i have to click again to zoom in but now Thank God and also thank you sir for sharing this best info i do appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
We very much appreciate all your nonstop dedication to making it so easy for all of us Apple noobs to follow along! Have been waiting for this video for the past few days now! 😁😁
Excellent video! I have tried most of these features based on your video. I have a 15 PM, but I am sad about the Voice Memos 2 track feature. I wish it was available on the 15 PM.
@@BrandonButchI also don’t have the new Mail App on both my iPhone 13 and iPad Pro A12X. Are you sure it‘s not only available for Apple Intelligence Devices?
I still hate the new version of the photos app. I want to have to tap to view all my photos, not just have them in a grid the moment I open the app. Everything from ios 16 and prior was significantly better.
@bahdbihddie iPhone 14 Pro Max but he said on his twitter it’s available to everyone who has IOS18 which I have and I’m also UK based as apparently the stuff is in English??
I don't think so. I'm in Europe and have the redesigned Mail but all other Apple Intelligence features he is explaining about it are not available for me
I saw somewhere in the comments here that you need to set the language for the mail app to English and it will work for you. I just updated my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 18.2 and got the Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions categories at the top and for some emails I got the logo of the sender on the left.
This was a significantly more important upgrade than 18.1 in my opinion! Apple did right by focusing on laying the foundation in 18.1 and roadmapping a good AI feature set, even if it will take a little time to get there.
nice video - however a little confusing when holding phones side by side and making comparisons - didn't know which one you were referring to at times.
I don't get why people love the email categorization feature so much. Everyone I know including myself just wants to see their email in a list and put it in folders because the categorization never works correctly 1/2 the time. Honestly I think this is a make work project for Apple Dev's. Like focus on more important things like fixing the photo app, and fixing the bugs I keep reporting!
@@fred5784 No they don't. It's using a dictionary of key words to do it on device. It scores how many of certain words show up in an email against the dictionary definitions on device and the score determines which category gets assigned. People really need to stop with this disinformation if they don't understand how the technology works.
Small improvements to the camera are good, having an element of depth of field control in the normal photo mode rather than just portrait mode is useful, clean up seems to work ok but hopefully will improve over time. I’ve been contemplating moving away from iPhone due to them lagging behind with their camera but hopefully these improvements mean they will improve things more with the next few iPhones.
Well, that's really informative: "In the last week, Mail categorized 225 messages as Primary from 87 total messages..." They have made the system so brilliant that it can defy basic math. at 4:50
I really wish they would make some major improvements with CarPlay as well, I’d love the option to have apps at the bottom like MacBook, also when making or taking a call, if it needs to be full screen, then it needs to rever back to last screen or split screen automatically
No still happens. I noticed it only does it with a glass screen protector on. Which of course we need, I took it off and it works fine. Put it back on. Issue started again
Update: Here's a *deep dive* on the new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.2: ruclips.net/video/B7Z3JWqJtAw/video.html
Did I notify you of the update before your iPhone did? 😅
Everytime bro😂😂
Indeed :D Greetings from Romania!
thought this was just another click bait.
Sure did. You’re the best in the business.
Yeap
It's great that you mentioned the features that come to all devices before the AI features 👍🏻
Yes, it's good to have the worthless features at the end.
@ I agree with you 😀
YESSS!!
goated behaviour
@@gigglybeastno
GREAT idea to start with the NON-AI features, which apply to everyone. It can be so confusing when they're all mixed up. Thanks so much!
Creators do this as most people are interested in the Ai features, so they watch more of the video
Awesome video (as usual)! Suggestion: make a 2 minute version that covers just highlights for my girlfriend who rolled her eyes when I tried to get her to watch this 45 minute masterpiece. I’m sure lots of “normal” iPhone users have no idea what a big update this is
I relate to much to this comment 😭😭😂
Thanks Dave! Good idea, I'll plan on making that as a short
I really like your comment

I'm glad they fixed the photos app, but I had to remove those huge icons and categories at the top of the mail app real quick.

You NEED to have you Mail app in English. It only works if your app has English as the language selected.

Thank you 🙏
Y’all please help me. Is the new mail app not on iPad?? I have the mini A17 pro.
No tiene sentido lo de no haber traducido estas categorías en otros idiomas… espero que arreglen eso lo antes posible
FINALLY, the biggest iOS 18 update yet is here! Enjoy
RC2 is a different from public release, I still had to update again.
No apple intelligence in Ireland again
@@Sorrry3458same, that’s why made me think this was rc 3
Love the mail app redesign.
It seems like new update reduces battery draining
My 15pm feels brand new with this update 😂
it’s just wow
The updates to the Mail app are life-changing. I have thousands of emails from different colleges advertising to me, this might help with mass-deletion.
Finally gonna start using the mail app
I did that 1st thing after updating..
Still no sound notification though
Me too ❤
@@muralidharan1712 same here!
@@robertbresman my phone is always in silent anyway 🤣
How come only for your videos I am able to get PIP option but not for other RUclips videos???
Real man i dont even have premium and it just worked somehow on my ipad for his videos
I think he himself is paying for YT Premium and is enabling the feature for us as a result.
@@StewHeisenbergnever knew that was possible
@ It’s an educated guess. Seems like every creator who pays for the extra features are the ones who have the PiP mode
The heck is that
The new Mail app is all over the place. The different styled colors and shapes of the senders' icons, from the gradients to non gradient. Then the alignment looks off with the different shapes, text alignments etc.
Thank you very much Brandon. I love Apple so much. It saved my life while I had an car accident.
love to hear that!
Wow that’s why you gotta love Apple ❤
Wow that’s great
Yikes but glad you okay
Awesome 😎
How often do you think you'll use Genmoji and Image Playground?
Every day
Rarely, don’t really like what the playground people looks like and genmoji I don’t have the creativity to make something useful.
Edit: After I saw what Brandon did I played around with it a lot more and probably every feature since I have been on most of the RC and it was actually pretty good when I found out how to take a photo it liked and how to promt it «correctly»
More than I initially thought, that’s sure! 😂
Genmoji cannot be used as an emoji but a sticker or image. Unless I’m wrong
@@openjaws emojis and stickers are now treated the same for iMessage.
the little things that you find as differences is wild haha. every tiny little detail and glyph changes.
Downloaded the update 1pm on the dot so fast 😂
Did anyone else think of the "and you're watching the Disney channel" commercials with the image wand?
I just received the update… You are faster than the official release 😅❤
😂
This video is pre recorded that’s why he didn’t show us the build number
@ that i know.. he already has RC release in which he made this whole video. but the point here is his dedication for pushing it on time..
Great video…very informative stuff. I’m so glad they fixed the photos app. Lots of great enhancements that make me glad to have upgraded to a 16 pro max from my 12 pro.

How do I opt out of people using my face for their slop pictures?
majima no onii san?!
why genmoji is not available for my iphone 15 ☹️
@udontknowexactlyi think its only 15 pro
@udontknowexactly 15 pro and up
6:26 that makes an AWESOME wallpaper!!!
Features are super cool but the battery drain is unreal!! Drained by 7% in 15 mins while barely using playground and genmoji
right!!! i need to downgrade
Thank you for doing this. This was a big help as far as how to set up the new update and how to use the new features.
I’ve never updated my iPhone quicker and that’s purely because of the photos app update!
mine was the map i like the audio while on a phone call
Facts💯💯 the toggle to switch looped videos on & off is a lifesaver , i loved it
Thank you, Brandon, for the details! You are my go-to for Apple news. I have an iPad which gets Apple Intelligence and phone that does not. So I’m thankful that you started with the non Intelligence features first
Is Visual Intelligence only for iPhone 16 models? or does iPhone 15’s have access as well?
Only for 16
Your videos are always informative and edited very well. I appreciate your time and dedication to sharing your knowledge.
Im using 16 but i still didn’t got genmoji and image play ground with 18.2
is there a way to update to 18.2 now that 18.2.1 is out?
So glad for these videos to keep track of all these changes.
Can you map an email address to an image so when you send a email it sends the image also? Reduces errors ?
Something I would love would be the ability to create an image or genmoji with more than one person.
Apple should give the option to revert to the old photos app
it lets you customize how you want it. I basically setup very clean again how it used to be. I even hid to utility category because I basically never used them

What do you do when the update has been requesting for hours but it is still not downloading?
My mail app is not opening at all
I just updated my iPhone 16 ProMax
1. Is there a universal back button?
2. Can you change the keyboard height?
3. Can you set any downloaded file such as MP3 as a ringtone without using Garage Band or Mac?
4. Can you do a screenshot on a third-party app or browser?

I have the new iPhone 16 pro but I've battery drain like crazy, is it just me or it was a iOS 18.1.1 thing and now they fixed it with the new update?
15:27 how do you download the new Safari start page backgrounds? Not seeing them. Running iPhone 16 pro max iOS 18.2.
Same. I have only the original ones.
When you open a new page in Safari, you want to click add in the bottom left. Scroll to the bottom of that page and hit “edit” it’s in there
How about the time till fully charged. ?
Why in the fuck did they mess up the Photos App in the first place is beyond me.
Even after the Update, it is completely shit.
Im in the Netherlands and updated mine iphone 16 pro to 18.2 and i don’t have apple intelligence is something wrong with mine phone?

No you should not, I would stay on ios 17 for eternity. I also wouldn‘t use the phone anymore so it stays at 100%
Don’t update. Don’t fix what ain’t broke. I’d only update if there’s a new feature that’s absolutely necessary for you in daily life.
do not update to ios18.2. Battery drain worse for me. Stay in ios17
