@@Whatmobiledeal Nope. Worked for a tech reseller many years ago, and more recently a domain name and cyber security company, but I’ve been working for myself for the best part of 5 years now.
Hi Proper Honest Tech, Started receiving your weekly emails in December ’23. I am an Apple guy. Watch series 9; iPad Pro 6th generation: iPhone 15 pro max. I am anything but tech savvy. You have enhanced my tech knowledge, understanding and interest in ways I did not think possible. Your manner, personality and delivery make you a communicator par excellence. Thanks for the effort you put into teaching. Nizam
I'm feeling you man. I upgraded last year for the first time in 6 years and went with a pro because I wanted the phone to last as long as possible, but it was a close call. I'd be rather upset if I'd gone for a standard 15, just to have this happen a year later. I can understand from a processing point of view, but some warning last year would have been considerate.
While I am very interested in AI or the Apple equivalent, I will not be rushing out to purchase horrendously expensive Apple devices just to run the version of AI later this year. As a consumer I’ve never wasted my money upgrading unnecessarily. I’ve only ever upgraded devices as and when I needed to rather than when the colour changed. I’m also 70 so where is the incentive for me to go and buy more up-to-date devices? I have an iPhone 13 pro max and an iPad 12 pro be more than adequately cover my needs and unless they stop working I will not likely upgrade because iOS 18 is due towards the end of this year. I’m quite dependent on both devices given poor eyesight but I still feel that my current devices provide the assistance I require without the need to upgrade. Appreciate all the videos you provide.
I don't think the _gate_ for Apple Intelligence is the strength of the NPU - rather I think the critical criteria is RAM - at least 8 GB. The iPhone 14 Pro's NPU is capable of 15.8 TOPS, whereas the M1's NPU is capable of 11 TOPS. The reason the M1 supports Apple Intelligence and the iPhone 14 Pro does not is that the M1 comes with at least 8 GB RAM, whereas the iPhone 14 Pro only comes with 6 GB. I think all flavors of the iPhone 16 will come with the A18 Bionic SoC, and the A17 will be retired. This is because the A17 is built on TSMC's N3B node which Apple is desperate to retire in favor of the N3E node. N3B was a stopgap 3nm design custom created for Apple by TSMC when N3E wouldn't be available in time. This means that Apple will be retiring all members of the M3 family SoC since they are all built on N3B also. N3E is easier to manufacture and is cheaper and produces better yields. It is compatible with TSMC's future 3nm designs like N3P. Betcha Apple is probably kicking themselves in the pants for being so cheap with RAM - just by providing a few bucks more of RAM in the A16 would've put the 14 Pro in the *compatible* camp.
@@citizen3000 Yeah, they start design and prototyping a couple of years before release, and design the hardware to accommodate the software the phone will run at release. Unfortunately they don't have a crystal ball so they don't know what the OS two years _after_ release will require (four years down the road). Still, it would be nice if Apple would add a bit of slop to accommodate features that future OSes will require; iPhone RAM sizes are quite minimal when compared with their Android counterparts.
I don’t think they would care one little bit. Forced obsolescence is a huge money making opportunity, which really is an Apple thing. I’m pretty miffed I am forced to upgrade to get a Siri that meets the expectation of what we should have had already. Everyone who doesn’t upgrade still has to live with the garbage that is Siri.
Apple isn’t kicking themselves, they are laughing on the way to the bank! They know that this way, more people will have to upgrade early if they want to get Apple Intelligence (which honestly I can’t tell yet if it’s really as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be).
Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your channel! Your videos, especially the iPhone and Mac ones, are always informative and engaging. I recently went on a browsing spree for your content, and noticed the iPhone and Mac playlists haven't been updated with the latest videos. I figured I'd mention it because having them all in one place would be a super convenient way for viewers like me to find everything related to iPhones and Macs. Keep up the fantastic work!
You asked about iPhone upgrade plans - I bought an iPhone 15 10 days before the announcement. I returned it and got a 15 Pro, not knowing if Apple Intelligence would even matter to me but also not wanting to own a 4 month old, obsolete phone if it did. Listening to your video confirms that I made the right decision.
Planning to upgrade as well (iPhone 13 mini currently), but news arrived Europe might be waiting a long time for Apple Intelligence because of European AI-rules. Not sure now how soon to upgrade.
I was really hoping that they would have implemented it to the iPhone 14 Pro and normal 15s, since the sort upgrades would’ve done wonders on the device, even if I had to wait a bit longer, it still would’ve been faster than me searching for certain things like the passport/id thing. Hope they can bring a different version to those iPhones! Loved the vid btw
Apple is always accused of not jumping on the bandwagon of what’s hot and new. What many don’t realize is that small significant changes over time make the most impact.
@mstree9985 No one’s saying you’ll have to wait 20 years. Yes, they’re “late” but don’t exaggerate. Anyway, apple is playing the long game. If you don’t want to wait, then switch but Apple is making sure that, when the other companies inevitably face some setback from AI, they will have already took it into consideration.
@@brittneyking4284 I mean, if we're truly being honest. Apple didn't adopt RCS the messaging until 10 years after the first Android OEM adopted RCS messaging in the United States.
That is not called bandwagon but lack of innovation.After someone invented apple just copies it in their way as per their ecosystem and then call see we have a new feature we invented.
@@ProperHonestTech you should mention it in your show notes/description. At first, I thought you misspoke, but after the third time it clicked and I realised why
Absolutely love your videos. So well delivered and thought out. I couldn’t wait to see what Apple were going to deliver and to be honest loving the whole “on device” setup. Will install ASAP.
I just upgraded from an iPhone Xs to a 15 Pro Max this past Christmas. Looks like I picked a god time to make the switch, I'm looking forward to a more useful Siri!
I definitely like the idea of improvements with Siri and other features. But let’s face it, in terms of privacy all that any of us really “know“ is what the people at Apple tell us. They talk a good game, but they have also pulled some shenanigans over the years. We shall see.
2:36 “technological turnoff” beautiful said, encapsulates perfectly what happens to my 65 year old father when something doesn’t just work while using tech, he feels that if it didn’t work the first time he tried completing a task, why try again and fail again, yet he doesn’t understand that often with tech it may take several tries or troubleshooting in an odd and unintuitive way to find a path around the problem, something his un-savvy tech mind can’t handle, at this point I’ll hear “Thomas! It’s not working” from the other room
I click a like button basically everyone as they all worked hard to make the video, good or bad but the bottom line is that its sign for me that I have watched this video before.
Love the deeper level of context given here. I'm even more excited for Apple intelligence now. I'm hoping the watch series 9 will be compatible with AI because I only just ordered 1
What a lot of people miss is that Apple does not deliver technology, they develop products. AI is a technology, one that the industry is scrambling to find a compelling product for other than a chatbot or an image manipulator. Apple intelligence is a product. It’s something that solves actual needs and gets out of the way seamlessly enough that it will just make everything feel better.
Thank you for another informative and easy to understand video. I AM interested in Apple Intelligence and will look forward to exploring it on my iMac. I will need to upgrade my iPhone later if I want to use it there. However, I am now retired and don't need some of the features as much as guys like you who run a (great!) business. Cheers - looking forward to your next video.
I actually contemplate buying an iPhone 15 pro when the 16/Pro is released to save a few bucks. iPhones like iPads are now overpowered for most tasks so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Attention: the type to Siri is available now and always has been available through the accessibility options. I use it from time to time. Been on there before iOS 18.
Yes I know, I mention this in the video. The issue is that you either have it permanently on or off via the settings. This allows you to use it as and when you wish, without committing to it on or off.
I converted to Apple from Samsung around 2 years ago. I am always impressed with how intuitive and easy Apple devices are, they just work as you expect them to and I am really looking forward to using Apple Intelligence features when they roll out in the UK. The only downside is that I have to upgrade my 14Pro, which is only a year old 😢 Hope they do a 16Pro in purple!
4:00 Not sure if this is your forte as you seem to focus on use cases (very well too) rather than coding/security/privacy. But could you discuss how with the NPU a possible back door has been opened where E2E won’t really protect you/matter anymore (much like there CSAM fiasco in 2021, as it too would scan your photos on device before uploading to cloud service) where because so much is processed on device they could search for their own criteria, similar to but not exactly like Microsoft’s Recall…
I've had an iPhone 8 Plus for 7 years now and recently have been contemplating whether or not to upgrade to the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro. What I've failed to take into account is Apple Intelligence... I think I'll be going for the 15 Pro this fall, whenever the price of it drops alongside the 16's release!
This seems like the biggest shift in computer interfacing since Steve Jobs "borrowed" the GUI from Xerox Park 30+ years ago. And we are off to the races.
@@geekmeee We will see WHEN the promised “AI manna from heaven” descends upon us “peons”, and then it will probably be laced with UNHEALTHY FAT & SUGAR to distract us from its true agenda.
@@Spoonfed78 You spelt “stole” wrong ‼️Xerox Alto vs Apple Lisa & then original Mac. Have you used all three to be able to have an opinion? It is amazing how far back the “reality distortion field” can travel.
Another superior and informative video 👍👏👏‼️ After watching your entire video, I'm of 2 minds on this: 😎 Apple Intelligence is going to be amazing and probably an incredible and potentially daily work & personal process changing experience 🤬🤬 To make use of this new watershed moment, I'm going to have to replace ALL MY APPLE DEVICES.... my iPhone XS Max AND my iPad Pro 12.9 3rd generation AND my 2019 MacBook Pro...all 3 of which are working well and handling what I throw at them on a daily BASIS 👎👎 I'd REALLY like to hear your take on this Tom! I'm currently using the free version of the Perplexity app you recommended on all 3 of the above devices DAILY and it is amazingly helpful and accurate 👍👍‼️
I buy new phones on a 5-6 year cycle. I am not interested in Apple Int. As it won’t be relevant till 2028. But, I will continue using ChatGPT and Microsoft, which over the next 4 years will get better.
This is might be a long comment, so just bear with me on this one. Sulphur content, one, I am not upgrading my iPad and my iPhone to the newest version just to get the Apple intelligence because it’s too expensive and plus like you said we are living in a living crisis so I wanna just hold on to my devices and plus I am so used to having my iPad and iPhone, I had special memories and special bond I had with during my using. Number two, the iPad. I currently have right now is the iPad seven generation that I received from my school counsellor back in 2020 on October 27 at the time it was running iOS 14.1 if I’m not mistaken, this device gave me so much memories during my four years of using it it has a good memories, bad memories, But I also had some emotional memory times as well because this iPad seven has been with me for a very long time since I was 12. those memories that I had with was very memorable, and I met different new people in my school in 2021, 2022 and 2023. I even use it most of the times and it has a very good moment. and plus this is the only iPad I do enjoy and spending time with a lot and I still hold onto it to cherish as a memory until it dies, since my school counsellor give me that, I actually love it a lot. It reminds me of some people that I miss especially the school counsellor who gave me the iPad seven, she is no longer in my school anymore after the summer of 2023 ended. but I still hold on the iPad as a memory it was a fun device so I’m not gonna upgrade to any devices for now until my iPad seven fully dies which is I had a very good prediction that it might die by 2026. And moving onto my iPhone so far I only had it for a year and the iPhone. I’m running on his iPhone XR so it is more likely going to die as well with the iPad seven but this is a pretty fun device and it actually suits me pretty good despite that it has some not so good moments of it because it does have some problems but either way it is a fun device And I had it since 2023 so this phone does bring some memories to the good ones the bad ones and also the emotional ones so it has a similar fluctuate as the iPad seven so I’m in upgrade for now until probably like like the iPhone 12 or something I’m not gonna upgrade to the 15th but the higher rank Once all of the devices are fully dead and the only way you can get is the ones with Apple and then most like I just gonna switch back to android at some point. So those are my reasons I don’t know enjoy or more like not happy that Apple Intelligence is not coming to my devices and also the reasons why I do not want to upgrade in the first place.
Excellent video. I recently switched from Android to iOS as my main phone (better integrated personalisation- I use focus modes, scrolling widgets, shortcuts, the action button and Dynamic Island a lot- helped by your videos. Thank you for all of your videos. I’ve not come across anyone as clear, informative and helpful. And it’s great- your videos are unbiased and I appreciate that (I still use Android as well. Some people get into tribal camps and look at the world through that dualistic lens of them and us without having explored options and possibilities, or recognising that different people have different tastes, requirements and constraints). As an aside I use Siri a lot, and really like it. It recognises my voice better than on my Android phones and has better responses. However, I prefer Google voice for long periods of dictation (though prefer Apple’s implementation for mixed voice and keyboard input).
I switched over to Apple (iPhone 12) from Android Motorola partly because of the AI features, also switched carriers to save $30 per month and they had a deal on 12's. I was an Android power user and I sold phones at my store. There is so much for me to learn with iOS. I hate the keyboard and may have to go to gboard which is what I used to use. But I am liking a lot of it.
The ONLY reason AI is available on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is those are the only current iPhones that have the chips and RAM to handle it. That’s it. Nothing more. People that say this is a “cash grab” by Apple are only embarrassing themselves.
Liked your in-depth analysis and explanation. I noticed that most of your videos are about apple products. You should also make videos about tech stuff other than apple.
iPhone 12 user. I cannot upgrade for 2 more years. Are there any crumbs that will fall from the Apple Intelligence table that will enhance the user experience on my phone?
I had to get a new phone recently and I was thinking that she get the newest iPhone due to its better processing and the battery display which I’m glad I did so because now I have access to the beautification of iOS 18
I am the owner of an M2 1 TB iPad Pro, and I am very anxious to see how much Apple intelligence is going to improve Siri , and I look forward to your reviews in your videos because she is a big help with my memory, which is not quite as good as it used to be, and with lists, turning lights off and on with a smart plug, etc. I wonder if you have any ideas about how important RAM is going to be with Apple intelligence. I am seeing mixed messages, however, I’m very glad to have gotten 16 gigs just in case.. thanks for your videos, especially the ones that dissect the uses of Siri.
Will typing to Siri finally be useful and make sense. If we’re going down this new and improved route, I expect to be able to paste text into Siri and even set up shortcuts that will prompt Siri and paste text in automatically. Right now you can’t paste it just quits out, cannot even prompt Siri from a shortcut
I bought the 14 pro max and they're starting to not receive the latest and greatest SOFTWARE features? Hmmm I used to have that problem with android when I can't update to the latest OS. I'm having second thoughts about buying another iPhone in the future if this persists
Great videos and giving what I think objective opinions. I absolutely agree with the idea that Apple needs to increase sales and this is the only way as cameras, hardware in general and quality are up to date for years. Those who are about to buy the new 16s out of US will be waiting for new advantages for, at least, 5/6 months or more, while their new iPhones are ageing and older ones running iOS as good as if they had the new device. However, Pixels cost much less or decrease their prices quicker and they have great picture software, excellent performance and AI tools across the OS.
Apple have shown great restraint in not jumping in early on the Ai bandwagon. By leveraging their "Apple garden" approach to software this is a masterstroke, well done Apple!
I look forward to this I am sure it will help me a lot. What we need to understand is that our iPhone is powerful so much so we only know or use 65% . To compare with competitors is not realistic. Both ways!
I worry about the support for other languages, even in the future… I’m Portuguese, and to this day, Siri cannot yet speak nor understand the European version of the language (even though speech to text works quite well in things like WhatsApp). It’s weird having to resort to shouting instructions in English when out and about or even at home
This definitely motivates me to upgrade devices. I am not one to ever do that quickly. I work in tech and know how it goes. I rather get a big amount of development for my money instead of a feature here and a feature there, but the partition of the chip is definitely motivating. Additionally I am more comfortable with this framework than ChatGPT. Honestly, I may finally spring for a Mac. I had only been using Apple for phone and tablets and accessing iCloud over a Windows PC. These features may very well be enough to get me to full Apple ecosystem.
I've been a lifelong Samsung user and have grown tired of the Android ecosystem. Though I'm a power user with my phone (S22U) I hardly every use customization or multitasking. I've worked on an iPad for my work now for a couple of years and I really enjoy it and find it easy to use. So here is the thing... I need to now upgrade my phone and almost walked out of the store over the weekend with a iPhone 15 Pro Max. But a friend of mine (Apple user) told me that even though the 15 Pro Max is a great phone that I should wait for the 16 Pro Max that is coming out in a few months. So... I'm now waiting. The only thing that turns me off from Apple is that it seems incredibly expensive to switch to the Apple Ecosystem. I unfortunately need the top of the range handset for my work which is expensive and a watch costs half as much as a phone for example. I'm really just hoping that I'm making a good choice and that I'll easily adapt to the Apple world later on this year. I'm very much excited but also quite nervous.
A long, long time. That's why they have to hit the ground running with this. It's all new Siri, not 'the same, but a bit better', which is what we've had up until now.
Now it looks like this was a bit of a premature video since most of the updates wont be available in September anywhere, and won’t be available in Europe for ages, if ever.
I’m surprised you aren’t already on the developer beta. I’ve been on it from day one and I’m already enjoying the update. I’ve even renamed Siri at this point so I never have to say “Hey Siri” ever again.
I am very convinced of innovation by competition. X wouldn't be so good, if Y would be trash and vice versa. So it's always cool to see what's over there on the other side of the fence, to get inspiration. Google made a perfect move with the Pixels 8 last year (I simply love my Pixel) I had an iPhone 15Pro Max in my hands for a weekend a half year ago and that iPhone honestly felt like an old 2018 device from a UX point of view. It was stable but it had nothing really new that I didn't know the past five years. *But honestly in the WWDC24 two weeks ago, Apple made a perfect return.* I have to admit, I want to excperience the AI and everything on iOS18 asap. And of course I'm looking forward to competitions return next year. (I'm working in a tech company. We have many devices to test issues and of course I use them often for my personal curiosity)
The interesting thing for me I have M1, M2 and M3 devices. However, for the phone, I only have no higher than iPhone 14 devices. I’m saving money to get the Apple Vision Pro because my phone is perfect for me. I would be interested to see how Apple handles a likely real world scenario like what I will face.
I have been waiting for this video from you. I like how you put concepts and the like in ways I absorb better. That being said, I’m going to need to rewatch this several times to make sense of it in my brain. I’m excited about Apple Intelligence. I am always slow or behind the throng of other people learning new Apple tools etc. These improvements will likely help me considerably once I can understand how to implement them. I have some cognitive issues so at times I just don’t get things. I’m excited to try things a couple at a time. One thing I’m frustrated about is that we’ve been hearing about all these changes and improvements and then there’s the ohhhh dang part where we’ve learn that a lot of it won’t be available until several months and up to a year. So, no those features won’t be happening that soon. I was thinking that September seems so far away and I was so impatient and excited ! Now I feel like a balloon deflating. Who knows what Android will come up with by the time Apple releases it all by. However the main thing for me is that I feel duped. By the creators who have been touting all this and this is the first I’ve heard about a lot of it not coming for up to a year! Not telling us that seems like baiting for more viewers and for me it worked. I understand some of that is about marketing things. I hope this has made sense and you aren’t feeling offended because you are only a itty bitty part of what I’m frustrated about. Or did I miss hear something? Apple- come on. If you’re going to talk about releasing all of this and then drop the bomb that it won’t all be happening until possibly next year 2025. What a disappointment imho. Carry on! You’re my fav!
Perhaps I've misunderstood your comment, but I don't feel like my video has been 'baiting' for views. The AI features are coming to compatible devices, some later on this year, some over the course of the 12 month period from Sep 24 to Sep 25, as Apple see fit. It's kind of impossible to fit that in a thumbnail and title, but that's why it's not mentioned there, and instead I discuss it in the video. For what it's worth, I share your frustration. In fact, being a UK resident, I 'technically' have to wait even longer, as this is being rolled out in US English first. Thankfully, it's easy for me to work around this. Essentially, most of the new features of iOS 18 should be available on all devices on day 1 of the release in September. The AI rollout will be much slower. Frustrating? Sure. But Apple are being cautious here. I think the boom of OpenAI and Gemini has forced Apple to produce something much quicker than they'd planned, and they want to ensure it works well at scale before deploying globally, and including all features. I kind of get that.
Great response to Amy’s comment- thanks. (Love your videos, and G’day from downunder 🇦🇺) Looks like my “ancient” iPhone 14 won’t benefit much if at all. Cheers.

I love my S24 Ultra but after the Apple keynote... They got my attention as an android user and I might just switch over after many years of staying with Android. USB C, I can place my icons anywhere on the home screen, Better AI Siri and scheduled messages. To top it off 90 percent of my friends and family have iPhones. Time for a change to test the waters. One thing I would like next from Apple is let me use my default navigation... Google Maps please lol
Very, very nice breakdown. I just upgraded to a 13 pro from a 12. I don't really care too much about the whole AI thing right now. I'll probably only have an AI ready device in 2-3 years. But i like that Siri will be smarter...
@@ProperHonestTech don't care about AI. They couldn't program how to put yours folders and apps where you want for a decade or to add widgets. Apple is a pathetic company
Very well thought out ideas about AI, both the Apple iteration and others. Proof of how it integrates with existing native apps will be the proof. Easter to see how this pans out now. Thank you
“Your iPhone will never be the same again… if you only speak (US) English” any other language: sorry, you’ll get old Siri (or not even that) 16:49 I wouldn’t hold my breath though.
I am thinking about changing from a Samsung 24 ultra. To the iphone sixteen pro max. As far as for the a I i'm using it right now on the samsung and it is great. It's like having an assistant. All the time. I know it is a big change from the samsung, but i'm willing to give it a go
I regularly follow your channel because I think it is very informative and clear. As to your question Would I upgrade my iPhone 12 mini when the new IOS version comes, my answer is Maybe. As I live in The Netherlands it seems possible that the new Apple Intelligence features will not be available in September. I am very content with my iPhone and I have no intention to upgrade. However, having seen this video, I certainly will as soon as Apple Intelligence becomes available in my language.
Cook said we’d need the iPhone 15 or newer device for these features to work. Think that’s true? Love my iPhone 14 Pro and don’t see a new to upgrade (unless they strong arm me I suppose)
It's time they should put M series chips in iPhone 16. Just because M series branding is more popular than A series in terms of representing performance.
Like assistant, whats AI going to do for me as joe public? Tell me the weather better? Help me text my friend quicker / easier? For me this whole AI thing is just a giant meh. What I really want is for google maps to finely track my movements in the background like it does on android. Or let me remove the camera from the lock screen. Or let me download a music player of my choice.
My maps spoken directions has quit working. Several friends say theirs have also. It seems to be connected to the most recent update. I’ve checked the settings and everything is turned on. Please advise.
It’s a curious thing but, a very real thing, that tech that doesn’t function is often more frustrating to deal with than the majority of other things that don’t go as we would hope. I just want it to work.

Ditto that! drives me nuts usually 🤣🤣
Thank you for your easy-to-understand intelligent discussion of Apple Intelligence!!!
Recently purchased a 15, disappointed to see its not compatible with the new AI Features. Usual Apple Marketing to get you you to buy a new phone.
I'm feeling you man. I upgraded last year for the first time in 6 years and went with a pro because I wanted the phone to last as long as possible, but it was a close call. I'd be rather upset if I'd gone for a standard 15, just to have this happen a year later. I can understand from a processing point of view, but some warning last year would have been considerate.

I don't think the _gate_ for Apple Intelligence is the strength of the NPU - rather I think the critical criteria is RAM - at least 8 GB.
The iPhone 14 Pro's NPU is capable of 15.8 TOPS, whereas the M1's NPU is capable of 11 TOPS. The reason the M1 supports Apple Intelligence and the iPhone 14 Pro does not is that the M1 comes with at least 8 GB RAM, whereas the iPhone 14 Pro only comes with 6 GB.
I think all flavors of the iPhone 16 will come with the A18 Bionic SoC, and the A17 will be retired. This is because the A17 is built on TSMC's N3B node which Apple is desperate to retire in favor of the N3E node.
N3B was a stopgap 3nm design custom created for Apple by TSMC when N3E wouldn't be available in time. This means that Apple will be retiring all members of the M3 family SoC since they are all built on N3B also.
N3E is easier to manufacture and is cheaper and produces better yields. It is compatible with TSMC's future 3nm designs like N3P.
Betcha Apple is probably kicking themselves in the pants for being so cheap with RAM - just by providing a few bucks more of RAM in the A16 would've put the 14 Pro in the *compatible* camp.
Good point, they could have reached millions and millions of iPhone 14 owners possibly.
But they’re on those profit margins like a hawk, so…
@@citizen3000 Yeah, they start design and prototyping a couple of years before release, and design the hardware to accommodate the software the phone will run at release.
Unfortunately they don't have a crystal ball so they don't know what the OS two years _after_ release will require (four years down the road).
Still, it would be nice if Apple would add a bit of slop to accommodate features that future OSes will require; iPhone RAM sizes are quite minimal when compared with their Android counterparts.
I don’t think they would care one little bit. Forced obsolescence is a huge money making opportunity, which really is an Apple thing.
I’m pretty miffed I am forced to upgrade to get a Siri that meets the expectation of what we should have had already. Everyone who doesn’t upgrade still has to live with the garbage that is Siri.
Really interesting. Looking forward to see how this plays out. Only time will tell and September / October is just around the corner :).
Apple isn’t kicking themselves, they are laughing on the way to the bank! They know that this way, more people will have to upgrade early if they want to get Apple Intelligence (which honestly I can’t tell yet if it’s really as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be).
Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your channel! Your videos, especially the iPhone and Mac ones, are always informative and engaging.
I recently went on a browsing spree for your content, and noticed the iPhone and Mac playlists haven't been updated with the latest videos. I figured I'd mention it because having them all in one place would be a super convenient way for viewers like me to find everything related to iPhones and Macs.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Yep, been on my 'to do' list for ages now! I'll try and get on it ASAP as you're right, it would be helpful.
You asked about iPhone upgrade plans - I bought an iPhone 15 10 days before the announcement. I returned it and got a 15 Pro, not knowing if Apple Intelligence would even matter to me but also not wanting to own a 4 month old, obsolete phone if it did. Listening to your video confirms that I made the right decision.
Planning to upgrade as well (iPhone 13 mini currently), but news arrived Europe might be waiting a long time for Apple Intelligence because of European AI-rules. Not sure now how soon to upgrade.
I was really hoping that they would have implemented it to the iPhone 14 Pro and normal 15s, since the sort upgrades would’ve done wonders on the device, even if I had to wait a bit longer, it still would’ve been faster than me searching for certain things like the passport/id thing. Hope they can bring a different version to those iPhones! Loved the vid btw
Apple is always accused of not jumping on the bandwagon of what’s hot and new. What many don’t realize is that small significant changes over time make the most impact.
@mstree9985Agreed
@mstree9985 No one’s saying you’ll have to wait 20 years. Yes, they’re “late” but don’t exaggerate. Anyway, apple is playing the long game. If you don’t want to wait, then switch but Apple is making sure that, when the other companies inevitably face some setback from AI, they will have already took it into consideration.
@@brittneyking4284 I mean, if we're truly being honest. Apple didn't adopt RCS the messaging until 10 years after the first Android OEM adopted RCS messaging in the United States.
That is not called bandwagon but lack of innovation.After someone invented apple just copies it in their way as per their ecosystem and then call see we have a new feature we invented.
Yeah...no 🫤.
Why is the first 'i' of 'Siri' partly muted? Is that to prevent Siri on our devices from jumping into action?
Exactly that!
@@ProperHonestTech you should mention it in your show notes/description.
At first, I thought you misspoke, but after the third time it clicked and I realised why
I was wondering why Siri was pronounced improperly. You nailed the coffin on the head. I wish Siri actually did learn one’s voice.
@@RebelRanger2009it probably do since iOS 17, but I think other people should be able to activate it for device like HomePod
Exactly that 👍
Absolutely love your videos. So well delivered and thought out. I couldn’t wait to see what Apple were going to deliver and to be honest loving the whole “on device” setup. Will install ASAP.
I love your voice and cadence. Learning a lot from you and enjoying it. Thank you so much
I just upgraded from an iPhone Xs to a 15 Pro Max this past Christmas. Looks like I picked a god time to make the switch, I'm looking forward to a more useful Siri!
We’re a long way from the flight number example working every time I think. I bet so many things will get in the way of that working correctly.
I definitely like the idea of improvements with Siri and other features. But let’s face it, in terms of privacy all that any of us really “know“ is what the people at Apple tell us. They talk a good game, but they have also pulled some shenanigans over the years. We shall see.
Except for the part where they repeatedly asked for researchers to come and check their work.
Yeah, the way I see it, they are better than Microsoft and Google and Meta etc., but every day that goes by, the bar for that gets lower.
I look forward to watching you. Your voice is very soothing and your knowledge is unmatchable ! Thanks
2:36 “technological turnoff” beautiful said, encapsulates perfectly what happens to my 65 year old father when something doesn’t just work while using tech, he feels that if it didn’t work the first time he tried completing a task, why try again and fail again, yet he doesn’t understand that often with tech it may take several tries or troubleshooting in an odd and unintuitive way to find a path around the problem, something his un-savvy tech mind can’t handle, at this point I’ll hear “Thomas! It’s not working” from the other room
Just realised as soon as I click on your videos I press the ‘Like’ button. Just a habit at this stage 😅
My favourite kind of viewer! 🤣
Me too
I click a like button basically everyone as they all worked hard to make the video, good or bad but the bottom line is that its sign for me that I have watched this video before.
I always click like to everyone video I watched so as to mark as 'watched'
@@MaiElizabeth You should be able to just ask Siri if you have seen it before.
Love the deeper level of context given here. I'm even more excited for Apple intelligence now. I'm hoping the watch series 9 will be compatible with AI because I only just ordered 1
With the redesigned 10 (X?) coming out in September?
Excellent explanation! I have a much clearer understanding now of what Apple is doing with this.
What a lot of people miss is that Apple does not deliver technology, they develop products. AI is a technology, one that the industry is scrambling to find a compelling product for other than a chatbot or an image manipulator. Apple intelligence is a product. It’s something that solves actual needs and gets out of the way seamlessly enough that it will just make everything feel better.
Like a tosti.
Good luck!
Very well done and thought out presentation,
proper honest tech for sure, i really enjoy your reviews keep up the good work
Thank you for another informative and easy to understand video. I AM interested in Apple Intelligence and will look forward to exploring it on my iMac. I will need to upgrade my iPhone later if I want to use it there. However, I am now retired and don't need some of the features as much as guys like you who run a (great!) business. Cheers - looking forward to your next video.
I actually contemplate buying an iPhone 15 pro when the 16/Pro is released to save a few bucks. iPhones like iPads are now overpowered for most tasks so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Attention: the type to Siri is available now and always has been available through the accessibility options. I use it from time to time. Been on there before iOS 18.
Yes I know, I mention this in the video. The issue is that you either have it permanently on or off via the settings. This allows you to use it as and when you wish, without committing to it on or off.
2:21 Never was a truer statement made!
I bought an iPhone 15 last September so unlikely to upgrade to a 16 this year just for the AI features
I always enjoy your videos and learn something excellent from them. Thank you so much.
I converted to Apple from Samsung around 2 years ago. I am always impressed with how intuitive and easy Apple devices are, they just work as you expect them to and I am really looking forward to using Apple Intelligence features when they roll out in the UK. The only downside is that I have to upgrade my 14Pro, which is only a year old 😢 Hope they do a 16Pro in purple!
4:00 Not sure if this is your forte as you seem to focus on use cases (very well too) rather than coding/security/privacy. But could you discuss how with the NPU a possible back door has been opened where E2E won’t really protect you/matter anymore (much like there CSAM fiasco in 2021, as it too would scan your photos on device before uploading to cloud service) where because so much is processed on device they could search for their own criteria, similar to but not exactly like Microsoft’s Recall…
I've had an iPhone 8 Plus for 7 years now and recently have been contemplating whether or not to upgrade to the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro. What I've failed to take into account is Apple Intelligence...
I think I'll be going for the 15 Pro this fall, whenever the price of it drops alongside the 16's release!
I wish they create a way to disable the “ live” on the camera your only able to disable for a short time,it’s so annoying on the iPhone 11
What feature are you referring to?
This seems like the biggest shift in computer interfacing since Steve Jobs "borrowed" the GUI from Xerox Park 30+ years ago. And we are off to the races.
Steve “borrowed” without a single “blush 😇”.
I think AI represents a bigger shift than that, it’s creating a new Gilded Age as a result of the Industrial Age.
@@geekmeee
We will see WHEN the promised “AI manna from heaven” descends upon us “peons”, and then it will probably be laced with UNHEALTHY FAT & SUGAR to distract us from its true agenda.
You spelt "innovated" wrong 😂
@@Spoonfed78
You spelt “stole” wrong ‼️Xerox Alto vs Apple Lisa & then original Mac. Have you used all three to be able to have an opinion? It is amazing how far back the “reality distortion field” can travel.
Thanks
Thank you very much!
@@HtheKing You mean “touched a nerve” I think?
Another superior and informative video 👍👏👏‼️ After watching your entire video, I'm of 2 minds on this:
😎 Apple Intelligence is going to be amazing and probably an incredible and potentially daily work & personal process changing experience
🤬🤬 To make use of this new watershed moment, I'm going to have to replace ALL MY APPLE DEVICES.... my iPhone XS Max AND my iPad Pro 12.9 3rd generation AND my 2019 MacBook Pro...all 3 of which are working well and handling what I throw at them on a daily BASIS 👎👎
I'd REALLY like to hear your take on this Tom! I'm currently using the free version of the Perplexity app you recommended on all 3 of the above devices DAILY and it is amazingly helpful and accurate 👍👍‼️
I buy new phones on a 5-6 year cycle. I am not interested in Apple Int. As it won’t be relevant till 2028. But, I will continue using ChatGPT and Microsoft, which over the next 4 years will get better.
This is might be a long comment, so just bear with me on this one.
Sulphur content, one, I am not upgrading my iPad and my iPhone to the newest version just to get the Apple intelligence because it’s too expensive and plus like you said we are living in a living crisis so I wanna just hold on to my devices and plus I am so used to having my iPad and iPhone, I had special memories and special bond I had with during my using.
Number two, the iPad. I currently have right now is the iPad seven generation that I received from my school counsellor back in 2020 on October 27 at the time it was running iOS 14.1 if I’m not mistaken, this device gave me so much memories during my four years of using it it has a good memories, bad memories, But I also had some emotional memory times as well because this iPad seven has been with me for a very long time since I was 12.
those memories that I had with was very memorable, and I met different new people in my school in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
I even use it most of the times and it has a very good moment.
and plus this is the only iPad I do enjoy and spending time with a lot and I still hold onto it to cherish as a memory until it dies, since my school counsellor give me that, I actually love it a lot.
It reminds me of some people that I miss especially the school counsellor who gave me the iPad seven, she is no longer in my school anymore after the summer of 2023 ended.
but I still hold on the iPad as a memory it was a fun device so I’m not gonna upgrade to any devices for now until my iPad seven fully dies which is I had a very good prediction that it might die by 2026.
And moving onto my iPhone so far I only had it for a year and the iPhone. I’m running on his iPhone XR so it is more likely going to die as well with the iPad seven but this is a pretty fun device and it actually suits me pretty good despite that it has some not so good moments of it because it does have some problems but either way it is a fun device And I had it since 2023 so this phone does bring some memories to the good ones the bad ones and also the emotional ones so it has a similar fluctuate as the iPad seven so I’m in upgrade for now until probably like like the iPhone 12 or something I’m not gonna upgrade to the 15th but the higher rank Once all of the devices are fully dead and the only way you can get is the ones with Apple and then most like I just gonna switch back to android at some point.
So those are my reasons I don’t know enjoy or more like not happy that Apple Intelligence is not coming to my devices and also the reasons why I do not want to upgrade in the first place.
Will the AI spell check be an available in text messages?
Yes, anywhere that you have a text cursor.
Excellent video. I recently switched from Android to iOS as my main phone (better integrated personalisation- I use focus modes, scrolling widgets, shortcuts, the action button and Dynamic Island a lot- helped by your videos. Thank you for all of your videos. I’ve not come across anyone as clear, informative and helpful.
And it’s great- your videos are unbiased and I appreciate that (I still use Android as well. Some people get into tribal camps and look at the world through that dualistic lens of them and us without having explored options and possibilities, or recognising that different people have different tastes, requirements and constraints).
As an aside I use Siri a lot, and really like it. It recognises my voice better than on my Android phones and has better responses. However, I prefer Google voice for long periods of dictation (though prefer Apple’s implementation for mixed voice and keyboard input).
I switched over to Apple (iPhone 12) from Android Motorola partly because of the AI features, also switched carriers to save $30 per month and they had a deal on 12's.
I was an Android power user and I sold phones at my store. There is so much for me to learn with iOS. I hate the keyboard and may have to go to gboard which is what I used to use. But I am liking a lot of it.
Genuine question: what’s not to like about the apple keyboard?
4:35 hopefully it doesn't hallucinate a wrong passport number
Great video, thanks Tom. I’m in Australia so do you know if we will get Apple intelligence at launch or if we will have to wait?
The ONLY reason AI is available on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is those are the only current iPhones that have the chips and RAM to handle it. That’s it. Nothing more.
People that say this is a “cash grab” by Apple are only embarrassing themselves.
😂
Liked your in-depth analysis and explanation. I noticed that most of your videos are about apple products. You should also make videos about tech stuff other than apple.
iPhone 12 user. I cannot upgrade for 2 more years. Are there any crumbs that will fall from the Apple Intelligence table that will enhance the user experience on my phone?
Thank you so much for this video. I finally understand what is coming. My plan on upgrading to an iPhone 16 from my 12 next year has been verified.
That was the best explanation of Apple Intelligence I've seen. Apple is always the last... and always the best. Looking forward to it.
1:14 why nobody talks about the new video player in photos, pretty nice
I had to get a new phone recently and I was thinking that she get the newest iPhone due to its better processing and the battery display which I’m glad I did so because now I have access to the beautification of iOS 18
will the new siri also be on the normal iPhone 15 or only the pro
I am the owner of an M2 1 TB iPad Pro, and I am very anxious to see how much Apple intelligence is going to improve Siri , and I look forward to your reviews in your videos because she is a big help with my memory, which is not quite as good as it used to be, and with lists, turning lights off and on with a smart plug, etc. I wonder if you have any ideas about how important RAM is going to be with Apple intelligence. I am seeing mixed messages, however, I’m very glad to have gotten 16 gigs just in case.. thanks for your videos, especially the ones that dissect the uses of Siri.
Will typing to Siri finally be useful and make sense. If we’re going down this new and improved route, I expect to be able to paste text into Siri and even set up shortcuts that will prompt Siri and paste text in automatically. Right now you can’t paste it just quits out, cannot even prompt Siri from a shortcut
I bought the 14 pro max and they're starting to not receive the latest and greatest SOFTWARE features? Hmmm I used to have that problem with android when I can't update to the latest OS. I'm having second thoughts about buying another iPhone in the future if this persists
Great videos and giving what I think objective opinions. I absolutely agree with the idea that Apple needs to increase sales and this is the only way as cameras, hardware in general and quality are up to date for years. Those who are about to buy the new 16s out of US will be waiting for new advantages for, at least, 5/6 months or more, while their new iPhones are ageing and older ones running iOS as good as if they had the new device. However, Pixels cost much less or decrease their prices quicker and they have great picture software, excellent performance and AI tools across the OS.
i just bought a new iphone 15 and i am already finding out it is incompatable with new os features coming, that sucks for a £800 device
Makes me happier only splashing £600 for my iPhone 14 instead of getting the 15 😂
Honestly, this sounds like an EXTREME change and update that will provide endless opportunities.
Apple have shown great restraint in not jumping in early on the Ai bandwagon. By leveraging their "Apple garden" approach to software this is a masterstroke, well done Apple!
I look forward to this I am sure it will help me a lot. What we need to understand is that our iPhone is powerful so much so we only know or use 65% . To compare with competitors is not realistic. Both ways!
I worry about the support for other languages, even in the future… I’m Portuguese, and to this day, Siri cannot yet speak nor understand the European version of the language (even though speech to text works quite well in things like WhatsApp). It’s weird having to resort to shouting instructions in English when out and about or even at home
This definitely motivates me to upgrade devices. I am not one to ever do that quickly. I work in tech and know how it goes. I rather get a big amount of development for my money instead of a feature here and a feature there, but the partition of the chip is definitely motivating. Additionally I am more comfortable with this framework than ChatGPT. Honestly, I may finally spring for a Mac. I had only been using Apple for phone and tablets and accessing iCloud over a Windows PC. These features may very well be enough to get me to full Apple ecosystem.
Thank you for making this easier to understand
I've been a lifelong Samsung user and have grown tired of the Android ecosystem. Though I'm a power user with my phone (S22U) I hardly every use customization or multitasking. I've worked on an iPad for my work now for a couple of years and I really enjoy it and find it easy to use. So here is the thing... I need to now upgrade my phone and almost walked out of the store over the weekend with a iPhone 15 Pro Max. But a friend of mine (Apple user) told me that even though the 15 Pro Max is a great phone that I should wait for the 16 Pro Max that is coming out in a few months. So... I'm now waiting.
The only thing that turns me off from Apple is that it seems incredibly expensive to switch to the Apple Ecosystem. I unfortunately need the top of the range handset for my work which is expensive and a watch costs half as much as a phone for example. I'm really just hoping that I'm making a good choice and that I'll easily adapt to the Apple world later on this year. I'm very much excited but also quite nervous.
Clean RUclips Channel ! Thanks from France ;)
2:42 “Apple knows that they have to get Siri RIGHT”!! Really, how long has it been 💩❓
A long, long time. That's why they have to hit the ground running with this. It's all new Siri, not 'the same, but a bit better', which is what we've had up until now.
Now it looks like this was a bit of a premature video since most of the updates wont be available in September anywhere, and won’t be available in Europe for ages, if ever.
I’m surprised you aren’t already on the developer beta. I’ve been on it from day one and I’m already enjoying the update. I’ve even renamed Siri at this point so I never have to say “Hey Siri” ever again.
I'm on the developer beta. It doesn't have the new AI features...
So only the 15 pro gets a usable Siri? Real class act, Apple 👏👏
I am very convinced of innovation by competition.
X wouldn't be so good, if Y would be trash and vice versa.
So it's always cool to see what's over there on the other side of the fence, to get inspiration.
Google made a perfect move with the Pixels 8 last year (I simply love my Pixel)
I had an iPhone 15Pro Max in my hands for a weekend a half year ago and that iPhone honestly felt like an old 2018 device from a UX point of view. It was stable but it had nothing really new that I didn't know the past five years.
*But honestly in the WWDC24 two weeks ago, Apple made a perfect return.* I have to admit, I want to excperience the AI and everything on iOS18 asap.
And of course I'm looking forward to competitions return next year.
(I'm working in a tech company. We have many devices to test issues and of course I use them often for my personal curiosity)
The interesting thing for me I have M1, M2 and M3 devices. However, for the phone, I only have no higher than iPhone 14 devices.
I’m saving money to get the Apple Vision Pro because my phone is perfect for me. I would be interested to see how Apple handles a likely real world scenario like what I will face.
I have been waiting for this video from you. I like how you put concepts and the like in ways I absorb better.
That being said, I’m going to need to rewatch this several times to make sense of it in my brain.
I’m excited about Apple Intelligence. I am always slow or behind the throng of other people learning new Apple tools etc.
These improvements will likely help me considerably once I can understand how to implement them. I have some cognitive issues so at times I just don’t get things. I’m excited to try things a couple at a time.
One thing I’m frustrated about is that we’ve been hearing about all these changes and improvements and then there’s the ohhhh dang part where we’ve learn that a lot of it won’t be available until several months and up to a year. So, no those features won’t be happening that soon. I was thinking that September seems so far away and I was so impatient and excited !
Now I feel like a balloon deflating. Who knows what Android will come up with by the time Apple releases it all by. However the main thing for me is that I feel duped. By the creators who have been touting all this and this is the first I’ve heard about a lot of it not coming for up to a year! Not telling us that seems like baiting for more viewers and for me it worked.
I understand some of that is about marketing things.
I hope this has made sense and you aren’t feeling offended because you are only a itty bitty part of what I’m frustrated about.
Or did I miss hear something?
Apple- come on. If you’re going to talk about releasing all of this and then drop the bomb that it won’t all be happening until possibly next year 2025. What a disappointment imho.
Carry on! You’re my fav!
Perhaps I've misunderstood your comment, but I don't feel like my video has been 'baiting' for views. The AI features are coming to compatible devices, some later on this year, some over the course of the 12 month period from Sep 24 to Sep 25, as Apple see fit. It's kind of impossible to fit that in a thumbnail and title, but that's why it's not mentioned there, and instead I discuss it in the video.
For what it's worth, I share your frustration. In fact, being a UK resident, I 'technically' have to wait even longer, as this is being rolled out in US English first. Thankfully, it's easy for me to work around this.
Essentially, most of the new features of iOS 18 should be available on all devices on day 1 of the release in September. The AI rollout will be much slower. Frustrating? Sure. But Apple are being cautious here. I think the boom of OpenAI and Gemini has forced Apple to produce something much quicker than they'd planned, and they want to ensure it works well at scale before deploying globally, and including all features. I kind of get that.
Great response to Amy’s comment- thanks.

I love my S24 Ultra but after the Apple keynote... They got my attention as an android user and I might just switch over after many years of staying with Android. USB C, I can place my icons anywhere on the home screen, Better AI Siri and scheduled messages. To top it off 90 percent of my friends and family have iPhones. Time for a change to test the waters. One thing I would like next from Apple is let me use my default navigation... Google Maps please lol
Apple Ai not coming to the EU. Not sure how this if at all it will affect the UK
Question: has the keyboard been updated also? It’s still not working as well as my google keyboard.
Thanks the content
Good to know all operation systems come with a parachute.
Very, very nice breakdown. I just upgraded to a 13 pro from a 12.
I don't really care too much about the whole AI thing right now. I'll probably only have an AI ready device in 2-3 years. But i like that Siri will be smarter...

Very well thought out ideas about AI, both the Apple iteration and others. Proof of how it integrates with existing native apps will be the proof. Easter to see how this pans out now. Thank you
Great video. I use Perplexity, Chat GPT and Gemini and cannot wait for Apple to release IOS 18.
“Your iPhone will never be the same again… if you only speak (US) English” any other language: sorry, you’ll get old Siri (or not even that)
16:49 I wouldn’t hold my breath though.
I am thinking about changing from a Samsung 24 ultra. To the iphone sixteen pro max. As far as for the a I i'm using it right now on the samsung and it is great. It's like having an assistant.
All the time. I know it is a big change from the samsung, but i'm willing to give it a go
First time viewer and new subscriber, I like your calm balanced breakdown
I regularly follow your channel because I think it is very informative and clear.
As to your question Would I upgrade my iPhone 12 mini when the new IOS version comes, my answer is Maybe.
As I live in The Netherlands it seems possible that the new Apple Intelligence features will not be available in September.
I am very content with my iPhone and I have no intention to upgrade. However, having seen this video, I certainly will as soon as Apple Intelligence becomes available in my language.
Cook said we’d need the iPhone 15 or newer device for these features to work. Think that’s true? Love my iPhone 14 Pro and don’t see a new to upgrade (unless they strong arm me I suppose)
15 Pro unfortunately, 15 won’t support it.
It's time they should put M series chips in iPhone 16. Just because M series branding is more popular than A series in terms of representing performance.
Like assistant, whats AI going to do for me as joe public? Tell me the weather better? Help me text my friend quicker / easier? For me this whole AI thing is just a giant meh. What I really want is for google maps to finely track my movements in the background like it does on android. Or let me remove the camera from the lock screen. Or let me download a music player of my choice.
I love it when Apple gets it right!
Upgraded from an iPhone 11 to 15 pro max last year it looks like I will be upgrading this year 🙈
nice detailed explanation
My maps spoken directions has quit working. Several friends say theirs have also. It seems to be connected to the most recent update. I’ve checked the settings and everything is turned on. Please advise.
What’s up with your mic when you pronounce ‘siri’. It seems to mute microscopicly
All sounds good, now we wait for it all to hit our devices. Hurry up and wait. They should not announce til it is ready for customers.
This is the 'new normal' with tech these days unfortunately. "And coming later on this year..." 😐
Why would an improved Siri be available on a HomePod but not on an iPhone 14 Pro Max? Does the HomePod have a neural engine?
It’s a curious thing but, a very real thing, that tech that doesn’t function is often more frustrating to deal with than the majority of other things that don’t go as we would hope. I just want it to work.
