I actually like the new Photos app. I just think it'll take a little getting used to. I like how all the collections have an instant Ken Burns effect, which gives the app more energy and life (ugh, that sounded cheesy). My two favorite features are the new Control Center and the new features in Messages like the colorful Tapbacks and text formatting, even though I can't use it yet since I'm the only person that I know that installs the beta on my one and only iPhone. 😅
In the Photos app, if you scroll all the way down and tap Customize, you can reorder everything to match you preferences. Less scrolling that way. It’s actually better.
I used to go back and forth between android and I phone because I. Liked the customization of the android phones I am so excited about the customization ❤
Xiaomi, Realme, Redmi, Motorola, OnePlus (Colour OS) all take inspiration from iOS. Apple using basic features from Android is a good thing imo. It's hard to hate on Apple when so many Android OEMs copy their iPhone design and iOS features.
Reverted back to 17.5.1 because iOS 18 beta was killing my iPhone 13 Pro Max battery. Other than that it worked pretty well, small minor stutter here and there but nothing that really bothered me.
Thanks for the report @Gillfordd. I am also on a 13 Pro Max and I wouldn't want the battery life to be any shorter than it already is. I am excited for all these features. I doubt I'll use most of them on a regular basis. RCS is nice because my daughter is using an Android phone.
With ALL of Apple Intelligence? Well if we're talking out of beta. Next year. But if it's some of the features., then you should still expect it in September-ish
4:37 this flashlight functionality is literally what I use the most. That’s a big one when looking under a bed or couch. Otherwise, in SOME instances, the default wider setting is useless. Need proof? Drop a lug nut in an engine in a poorly lit garage and try to use your iPhone flashlight in pre iOS 18. It’s not completely useless, it’ll help you see, but you’re gonna move ya head around, try to look around and under some tubes or timing belts, and you’ll miss it in shadows. Focus the light and amp up intensity, it’s like light with a purpose. More “pen light”.
Thanks for mentioning the horrible photos app design. It Isn't only you. Everyone is agreed it's horrible and considered as a downgrade except for Apple teenagers photos team who swear to ruin the app for us. Shame on you Mr federighi for allowing this crappy design to pass to ios 18
Must be nice Brian Tong. Galavanting across Europe with your shapely partner. Meanwhile, I've experienced a lifetime's worth of once-in-a-lifetime events in the 2020s and the decade isn't even half done yet. J/K - I'm happy for you. I know you work pretty hard on this channel. Respect.
@9:21 To be fair if you force close the photos app on iOS 17, you have to tap into the album to get to your full photo list (versus a swipe as mentioned)
Just quick one Brian, this flashlight animation, is working only for 15 pro models or 15 as well ? Coz I got 15 Plus and it seems not working for me 😏😏
Hmmm so what you’re saying is that I don’t need to have an iPhone anymore because I won’t be a green bubble and annoy people? I’ve been wanting the Samsung z fold
@@briantong understandable in terms of the app not being visible but are you really hiding it when there is a folder with a label saying hidden? It would have been nice to have the Samsung style of hidden folder where you can hide the folder itself But Apple is Apple
Why would you reccomend people to NEVER use it on their daily driver? If the user has backed the device up and also knows what they are doing to a certain extent, what is the issue?
The OS isn't optimized most of the time so battery life can be affected. Some 3rd apps end up not being compatible or perform poorly. There are bugs that you won't see anywhere else that happen. It's a beta.
Gosh save me please I own liters over 300 movies and tv shows and that’s before Apple TV it was on the iTunes app back in the day. Android is so much better but I’m hooked on Apple Music and the movies I own. SAVE ME!
Agreed. I wonder if that's possible using focus modes and shortcuts/automations (to change the focus at a certain time of day)? I might have to try it out after the official release, since I generally skip the betas.
I absolutely loath the new iOS18 photos. all i want is a camera roll album back, I can unsee the rest. I put some photos from my Mac to my iPhone (DSLR from wedding vendor) and because the godsend photo library do not allow customization of photo sequence, my photo timeline is therefore, all over the place. Plus now I can't find anything captured purely from iPhone/iPad, its all jumbled together, it's a holy mess. I will not update until they fix that shit.
the hide app is pretty half baked tbh.....I mean anyone with knowledge of this feature can goto your app lib. and see you have hidden apps...even though they won't be able to open the app up without Face ID/and your passcode....which defeats the purpose as even without this hide app feature no one will be able to open your phone up to begin with to access the apps...I think Samsung does it better where you can rename the hidden folder...show/hide the hidden folder etc. as an example - on my s24U I can hide my banking apps into a hidden folder which I rename to whatever I want...change the hidden folder icon to whatever I want and if I want I can show or hide the hidden folder within the app drawer. I like the control panel and its look though along with a feature I have been waiting on iOS for soooooooooooo long - the ability to schedule a text message. I haven't installed the beta on my ip15pm yet but will give it a try
Gosh save me please I own liters over 300 movies and tv shows and that’s before Apple TV it was on the iTunes app back in the day. Android is so much better but I’m hooked on Apple Music and the movies I own. SAVE ME!
lol! Thankfully not completely. They still both have distinct strengths and weaknesses, and both borrow from each other. Apple not allowing their users to place icons where they want for so long is absolutely ridiculous. Add it to the list of simple things they refuse to do.
Well they should become like Android, because the current iOS is boring and stale AF. It is not fun to use and feels more like a chore to do simple things.
The AI is so bad it may hurt Apple. Hopefully it gets fixed. Apple has not fixed basic spell check. Siri is still stupid. I know Apple claims these improvements will show up in September.
I’m waiting for messages RCS support. Than I can drop mine WhatsApp. And was hoping apple map will improve faster so I don’t have to use google maps anymore
Imagine being staved of such a simple thing as icons being able to be placed where you want that this can become such an amazing thing is testament to which toxic people use the method of bread crumbing. I’m super stoked about it. I mean, I choose Apple for the phone just because of the cameras. Not the most impressive, just the most stable for video to use more confidently for professional use. I now get to make the aesthetic how I like which I want… just do not need. But not being allowed it so long I’m now seeing heavens gates open you be given a single whole biscuit 😅
8:18 Welp, there will come a time when your significant other will ask to see your hidden apps...because we are all going to have hidden apps. This feature should be called "doubled-edged-sword apps"
You just 💩 on iOS 18. Lol. Is there anything you liked about it? Me I downloaded the Public Beta which is running ok for the most part and I love the features that benefits me. 🤷🏾♂️ Certain features are more important to certain individuals.
Which is exactly what I said. Could it be that I gave it a measured and balanced take from my perspective? You just aren't used to that from most people?
@@cipher893 Fair point, but honestly, I don’t think these changes should have been implemented in the first place. It feels more like Android than iOS now. There’s no difference left.
lol this is a litteral copy paste of samsung and im not complaining but its crazy haha everything in the island has been done in the edge panels (maybe not as pretty) the coolest thing they added was tha flashlight control and RCS

@briantong when will Apple bring third party apps to let us have giff wallpapers or to create giff’s from our video library like the android does?
love the voice shortcuts in accessibility and the integration of voice recordings in notes.

I installed it on my daily phone. Did the same for iOS17. I like living on the edge. lol
👀😂😂😂
Amateur. I downloaded the developer beta on my only iPhone 12 so if it stops working my dad's gonna kill me. WE ARE NOT THE SAME
Me too. It’s too many devices and clouds to worry assuming you got backups.
I always do since iOS 12. I haven’t run into any problems. Lol

I used to go back and forth between android and I phone because I. Liked the customization of the android phones I am so excited about the customization ❤
I definitely agree about the photos app , it’s not efficient and user friendly
Beta has been fairly stable on my daily
Brian Tong flexing his gurl too much. You go Boi! 💁🏻♀️💪
I’ve been using this for a few weeks and had no clue how to get to my photo grid. Thanks. Hate the new photos app
Guns don’t kill people. Apps don’t cause you to cheat.
I’m gonna use the vault for password and banking/financial apps.
Xiaomi, Realme, Redmi, Motorola, OnePlus (Colour OS) all take inspiration from iOS.
Apple using basic features from Android is a good thing imo.
It's hard to hate on Apple when so many Android OEMs copy their iPhone design and iOS features.
Hidden app is great for banking or any kind of financials
Thanks for the update!
My Wifes iPhone is used primarily for making phone calls. Can IOS 18 be set up on the first screen to make calls much easier?
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
I can finally hide tinder from my wife
She is going to see this comment bro 😎 lol 😝
😂😂😂
Got love for this dude! Always coming with positivity! Want to see your review of MacOS (Sequoia)
Now all we need is a proper theming engine
8:35 the new photos app rocks. So flexible and customizable. We love it.
Put it on my primary phone ok thanks for the approval stamp Brian 😊
I'm using iOS 18 public beta on my main phone. iPhone SE 3rd. everything works for me. thank you
public beta on the main phone, working fine :)
How’s the battery life
@@xolanimkhonto4275great for me
I’ve been saying for years! Focusing on customization is better than a camera to shoot movies.
Reverted back to 17.5.1 because iOS 18 beta was killing my iPhone 13 Pro Max battery. Other than that it worked pretty well, small minor stutter here and there but nothing that really bothered me.

@@dupre7416 definitely agree, I’m at 84% capacity and I’m considering in perhaps just upgrading by the fall, but we’ll see
Hope you enjoyed your vacay! Welcome 🤗 back home and glad to see a new video and updates on ios18
Thank you!! 😁
I put it on my daily driver with beta 1-now. 🤷🏽♂️ No problems. Few bugs. But no “problems”.
When will the official iOS 18 comes out?
With ALL of Apple Intelligence? Well if we're talking out of beta. Next year. But if it's some of the features., then you should still expect it in September-ish
Welcome back
In photos swipe and you’ll see customise. You can remove all that stuff you said you don’t like.

I shoot, write and edit 99% of everything you see here. It was for my honeymoon.
How is the battery holding up after the update?
It’s better for me to
Wow u completely forgot about iPhone Mirroring with a Mac on Sequoia which is working now in the public beta
Because that's MacOS...Did you miss the title of this video?
@9:21 To be fair if you force close the photos app on iOS 17, you have to tap into the album to get to your full photo list (versus a swipe as mentioned)
Apple really needs to add native BitTorrent support in AiOS 19 for private personal iCloud backup and archiving.
You are about the only guy out there that doesn’t like the new photos layout. Omg
Wait, you mean people can have different opinions? WOW. I don't watch any videos until I'm done with my own.
Just quick one Brian, this flashlight animation, is working only for 15 pro models or 15 as well ? Coz I got 15 Plus and it seems not working for me 😏😏
Hmmm so what you’re saying is that I don’t need to have an iPhone anymore because I won’t be a green bubble and annoy people? I’ve been wanting the Samsung z fold
The first ios 18.0 update made my messages crash like crazy and that wasnt good at all
Is there a do not disturb automatic response in messages??
Can people see you sent the message “send later”?
Is it hidden though if people can still see the hidden section and know there are apps hidden?
But they can't see what Apps are in there you have to Face ID authorize to even see inside that folder.
@@briantong understandable in terms of the app not being visible but are you really hiding it when there is a folder with a label saying hidden?
It would have been nice to have the Samsung style of hidden folder where you can hide the folder itself
But Apple is Apple
I'd like to put my banking and finance apps in the hidden folder. It might make a difference if someone were to steal my phone.
I believe the send later option is only for IOS.🤷♂️
I can’t get it
at it boy! put it on my main device 😅
Why would you reccomend people to NEVER use it on their daily driver? If the user has backed the device up and also knows what they are doing to a certain extent, what is the issue?
The OS isn't optimized most of the time so battery life can be affected. Some 3rd apps end up not being compatible or perform poorly. There are bugs that you won't see anywhere else that happen. It's a beta.
Apple could of done this a hell long time ago. all of these features are all what android had since the beginning
I mean let's be real. AI upgrade to Siri and RCS is the only thing we want to see tbh... the rest are just nice but not major.
Actually, considering that I’m on an iPhone. I could care less about RCS. That’s an android problem in my opinion.
29K+ emails and 231 on your phone app. iOS 18 doesn’t fix everything 🤣.
Gosh save me please I own liters over 300 movies and tv shows and that’s before Apple TV it was on the iTunes app back in the day. Android is so much better but I’m hooked on Apple Music and the movies I own. SAVE ME!
Biggest missed oportunity was to not have adaptive tinted icons to the wallpaper.
I use rotating wallpapers, so won’t be useful to me unfortunately
Agreed. I wonder if that's possible using focus modes and shortcuts/automations (to change the focus at a certain time of day)? I might have to try it out after the official release, since I generally skip the betas.

Plus now I can't find anything captured purely from iPhone/iPad, its all jumbled together, it's a holy mess. I will not update until they fix that shit.
Honestly, this new Photos app will be the reason for me to not install iOS 18. Until they give us the chance to choose.
Imagine your partner asking to see your hidden apps
That’s a nice white case, where can I buy one ? I used to buy apple white case but they haven’t made one since iPhone 12.
My toxic trait is that the feature for me is the rcs messaging, i wanna know if you avoiding me with your galaxy with the cracked screen. 😂
The flashlight thing doesn’t work on iPhone 14 regular 😒
Still would've liked split screen
Please add chapters in your videos.
Why need to move icons freely. I don’t get it. When I was using android back in the day I always set settings to arrange automatically. This is absurd
Good for you. Many other people would like some choice.
Bro! it is stable version of ios18 ? Now can i update my iphone ?
It's a beta. I NEVER recommend that on your daily driver phone. Never. It works, but that's for you to decide.
Did it take Apple 18 years to finally get caught up to Android?
the hide app is pretty half baked tbh.....I mean anyone with knowledge of this feature can goto your app lib. and see you have hidden apps...even though they won't be able to open the app up without Face ID/and your passcode....which defeats the purpose as even without this hide app feature no one will be able to open your phone up to begin with to access the apps...I think Samsung does it better where you can rename the hidden folder...show/hide the hidden folder etc. as an example - on my s24U I can hide my banking apps into a hidden folder which I rename to whatever I want...change the hidden folder icon to whatever I want and if I want I can show or hide the hidden folder within the app drawer.

Apple ios is becoming Android...
How so? lol
Gosh save me please I own liters over 300 movies and tv shows and that’s before Apple TV it was on the iTunes app back in the day. Android is so much better but I’m hooked on Apple Music and the movies I own. SAVE ME!
Is that a bad thing?

Well they should become like Android, because the current iOS is boring and stale AF. It is not fun to use and feels more like a chore to do simple things.
Remember back in iOS 18……. 😬
Why is still only one timer on the clock app
Does RCS allow you to remove/add someone in a group message? Like you can in an iMessage group message
The Color changing in apps looks crap on non Apple apps
The AI is so bad it may hurt Apple. Hopefully it gets fixed. Apple has not fixed basic spell check. Siri is still stupid. I know Apple claims these improvements will show up in September.
29,000 unopened emails.
I’m waiting for messages RCS support. Than I can drop mine WhatsApp. And was hoping apple map will improve faster so I don’t have to use google maps anymore
This is a great update for cheaters! 😉
Hiding apps is a cheaters dream 🙈
I don’t like that I can’t just toggle Bluetooth on and off with one click
If you got a 15 use the action button
