One feature that's not really been mentioned, is that last year when Apple brought MFI device support to Mac. Some MFI devices didn't work, more specifically for MFI Cochlear Implants. Now in macOS 15 beta 1, it now finally works.
I recently bought a Macbook Pro! So I’m now watching as many Macbook videos as possible. Also I didn’t know that they changed the whole OS name every year. Thanks for another great video Aaron!
@Kev2000 It used to be names like System 1-7 (80s-90s), then Mac OS 8-9 (1998-1999), then Mac OS X, (1999-2018, there was a “big cat” naming system, Cheetah-Lion, from 2000-2013), and finally macOS, (2018-present), which since 2013 has been named after Californian cities.
Always a pleasure to watch your informative, background music void presentations. Just wish that it would not be interrupted by lengthy UA-cam created ads. UA-cam is definitely on its way for me to use it less and less to obtain information.
Hi Aaron, I think people would appreciate if you could reduce the screen resolution when recording your Mac. It would be easier to watch the videos on the phone 😅
Great job as always - I would’ve loved to have seen what the UI changes in Mail and Calendar look like in MacOS like you showed us on iOS/iPadOS as a power user of both.
Are they ever going to allow for MacOS to separate dark mode from night shift like with iOS on the iPhone? Its frustrating having to constantly change dark mode on and off rather than having them both relying on separate set times for the modes to kick in. Currently if you have your desktop set to auto dark mode, it only turns on when night shift does; so lets say at 9pm and, until then, all your windows are bright white which doesn't help with sleep. Or you can set night shift at 6pm so that dark mode starts at the ideal time, but then good luck editing whilst night shift is on 🤦♂ Please tell me they've fixed this in MacOS Sequoia.. it's been an available choice on the iPhone for years now.
Transcript does not work for live recording yet. You need to stop the recording and then click to show it as at this stage need on-line access to process
Can someone please respond: I was wondering if the thing(i don't know exactly what it's called) but it's basically where you can use your iPhone virtually inside your Mac. Is that still coming out and has it came out in the beta yet? Also, do you think it will connect via Bluetooth or network/wifi connection? Thanks! A
Thanks for the video, one feedback is that before recording you could change the resolution smaller so the view will be bigger so it’s easier to view on mobile
Hi, could you also test the drag function when your stage manager is on and the left side stack is showing, and drag the window to the left side, what is going to happen, and also try to maximize the window, will it hide the stage manager or show the left side stack like the Magnet app or the App Rectangle. Thank you!
Hi @Zollotech, I am running macOS 15 Beta and in the last few days I have suffered a catastrophic increase in System Data to about 420GB. That means that my storage is almost gone and is dramatically slowing down my Mac. Any insights on how to resolve this?
Hey, there Zollo. Another great video. Please ask every Apply employee you encounter to add a "Financial" mode to the new calculator app, in addition to the Basic, Scientific, and Math Notes app. A "Financial" mode would handle PV, FV, PMT, N, & I. - - - just like the Hewlett Packard HP12C calculator which came out 25 years ago.
I decided to install the beta on all my devices (Mac, iPad and iPhone) and have noticed that the calendar app has had an overhaul in the betas which I have tested. I love the new UI so much more
@@illhaveawtrplz to be honest, I don’t use calendar with todos 😅 but will have a look. I have noticed that the google calendar is no longer syncing between devices
Thanks 🙏 always I m apple ecosystem user i had all apple products except apple vision But but text effect isn’t working on my all devices iPhone 📱 15 Pro max MacBook Pro 💻 m2 chip I don’t know where is the issues.
Hi thanks Aaron. Do you think since there is RCS coming that can we reply back by swiping to the left/right click for android users on messages app on a mac and iPhone?
Correct. One thing to keep in mind is that 1Password will cost you a monthly subscription. It is a better, full featured app in comparison to The Password app, however the latter will be seamlessly integrated in the Apple ecosystem and wont cost you a dime.
I went crazy yesterday and installed the new OS' on all of my devices. I'm a risk taker. Anyway, this has not played nicely on my Macbook Air 5th gen 15". I have had two hard lock ups that required a forced reboot. I have never once had that happen, I actually had to look up how to do it because I didn't know. Other than that nothing horrible.
I wish you had covered MAIL in this video, though I know it is hard to do without blurring content. I want to see if it copies the same iOS categorization and how well it separates newsletters and product offers from general mail. Also would like to see how useful AI is in creating and replying to email messages.
There are no changes in the mail yet. It looks exactly the same. The updates to Mail are coming with Apple intelligence and and that’s not available yet even to developers
Beta 1 went great. didn't see to much to call attention too. Beta 2 was a whole different story. It crashed multiple times during downloading and updating. finally I couldn't even try to add the new Beta because it consumed all my available storage. Plus in charging it was very hot. Finally just walked away and tried this morning to see if I needed my appointment at Apple Genius Bar. Beta 2 loaded and then said I had 45GB of memory left. Concerning because previous to attempting loading the Beta it had over 200GB left. after loading was complete I did a couple restarts and it cleaned my storage...I guess. anyway now I cancelled my Apple appointment and it has 198GB free space. All I working and looking good.
In am very angry now. I bought my Macbook Air in the second half of 2020. I found out later that my Macbook Air was a 2019 and not a 2020. I called Apple about that. A lady from Apple told me that the 2019 model is as fast as the 2020 and told me not to worry. And look what happens now. I will not be able to update . I don't know what I can do now. I am not sure if my next laptop i going to be a Macbook or not.
Oh also, I've noticed from playing around with it on my iPad with the iPadOS 18 beta, math notes don't currently recognize or support variables. If I try to do an equation like, 7x+9(3-(-7))=, it throws up an error and says the "x" is an unrecognized term. *The (3-(-7)) part can also be written as (3+7). I'm pretty sure the answer still comes out exactly the same.
Math notes..well .. Noticed that when I was sending a text message (12m x 500m =) i was referring to 12 months by $500 in which the person i was talking to understood, anyhow.. the minute I hit =, it calculated and answered the question in meters.... tested again, and same math notes thing works in text messaging also.
@@tonyburzio4107 yes, but why would I want to? There are precious few apps that live only on an iPhone and not on a Mac. So whatever I want to accomplish (look at a map or adjust my thermostat or run my Sonos or read/wrre texts/emails, etc etc), I’ll just do on the Mac directly, instead of using Mac as a puppeteer for the iPhone. (I feel like there’s something I’m not getting?)
I develop mobile apps on a team of remote developers. The ability to mirror my iPhone to my screen, then share my screen on a zoom call, so my teammates can see the mobile app while I demo it, is priceless.
With each new release of MacOS, we get pastel fluff, a UI that looks more and more like Windows Vista, and features that Windows, Linux and Android users have had for years. About time for most "new" features. Still waiting for HDMI volume control. Something that has been in Windows and Linux for decades. Drop the Arrogant Apple BS please. Mother Apple does not always know better than the user.
I just hope they will start to treat polish clients seriously with this one. Siri still not compatible with polish language whereas it supports barbaric languages like russian is an insult. Also Apple maps work pretty good when you are in Canada, US or UK. It's sh** with no content or map/route accuracy when you are in Poland or anywhere in eastern Europe actually.
macOS Sequoia and the other three laptop with MacBook Air are MacBook Plus in 2024. macOS 16 in 2025 out the latest update on the MacBook Pro I iMac Plus it too! Laptops 👨💻 Technology has in-depth of functionality but it Doesn’t need much battery app support!
God the wallpaper is atrocious. The lines being squiggly and just sloppy looking makes it look like it was done by a 4 year old. I hope someone comes up with a similar wallpaper that’s edited to use the same colors but straight lines instead.
Thanks!

will it be on the MacBook Air 2020
My mac (2023 Pro 16 in M2) is using quiet amount of recourses. Over 200GB System Data--- I wonder what is going on. (15.1 Beta)

just curious. what do you use to record yor screen and how did you continue to record after you locked your screen? Should have broke the connection.
Are there any new changes for the Studio display?

I’ll wait for either Beta 3 or 4 before I try it out. To many things usually don’t work or work properly at this stage.
Learned too many times to not jump the gun early on these betas. It’ll smooth out in a month or two and feel much better to yse
3:16 omg I was waiting it for years!
I've installed only for iPhone mirroring... can't wait to get it...
Can you still animate messages with the fireworks or lasers still??
Yes
Hi. What is the model of your monitor. Thanks.
Apple Pro Display XDR
the drag and drop are already in windows (phone link)
Finally tile snapping natively in the OS! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Did they include a native Clipboard History Manager?
Any reason the reader take only half the screen space? AFF
The print function crashes everything you try to print. Safari also constantly crashes.

So was your iphone updated to ios18? and if so, the mirroring still didnt work?
Yeah it doesn’t work on beta 1
Maybe in beta 2 it’ll get fixed
02:28 Finder > View > Show Tool bar, Path Bar, Status bar to see Fiinder info (where the iPhone mirroring is).
YAYYYY!!!!! upgrading my *NEW TO ME* Macbook Air M1 as i write this. cant wait for the other betas where theyll start releasing all the features.
Are scheduled messages held server side, or on device? Can I turn off my MacBook and the message will still send?

Will the beta Photos or Notes mess up my devices that remain on last year's versions?
Did studio display get ios18?
not yet
My AirPods case doesn’t show up on the battery widget on Mac since sequoia, does anyone else’s do this?
Um apple forgot the update their website for Vision Pros for Australia tbh or just wait
You can collapse sections in notes now
I show that in the video too
I wonder if i can replace the paid ChatGPT 4O on this update or it just a limited version from ChatGPT?

Keyboard shortcuts for window tiling?
The Password app can only be used on Apple Devices? Unlike 1Password that can be used in any OS and can be used as a plugin on browsers. Am I right?
