When we see the price of the Mac Pro, and with no iMac Pro in sight, there’s no way Apple could have dropped the Studio product lineup… as d why would they in the first place. It’s the only pro Mac Apple makes that isn’t cramped into a laptop (thermal constraints, TB4 screen limitations) that non-rich kids can afford.
Home did get an update by the way! It's on the iOS 17 preview page, home now shows you history for locks, contact sensors, garage doors, and security systems. Small, but definitely nice.
I use HomeSpan and an esp32 board to integrate my legacy security system into HomeKit. I created fake lights for each contact sensor, so that I could see a change of state if I missed an event. This would be much better.
I used the Home App for automations for about a month until one random day they all stopped working, went back to Alexa and they work without fail…won’t make that mistake again…pretty much love all my Apple hardware, but their smart home implementation is just awful and unfortunately I will never open the Home app except to update my HomePod Mini
The voicemail interruption feature is the smartphone equivalent of being able to hear in real time - and interrupt, if you choose - a voice message being left on a physical answering machine. I remember calling someone via landline and having them pick up the phone while I was leaving a message.
For me the iOS part was just a combination of "that wasn't a thing before?" and "I want that on Android". The drag to reply one surprised me, as it's common in many messaging apps
00:07 - "I was 17 once... so, let's begin with iOS" 😂 (Great intro! Been a viewer of your channel since 2015 and your uploads are informative, but not only that, your humor and jokes are funny af!😅)
The live voicemail feature for iOS 17 is definitely similar to (but not the same as) the Pixel's call screening feature that we've had for years, except it doesn't save the screening to voicemail. That's the cool part!
Nice to see Notes app improvements. I switched to OneNote about a year and a half ago from Notability when it switched to a subscription model (even though my App Store purchase was grandfathered in). I am seriously starting to hate OneNote on iPad, it's just riddled with bugs and PDF scans suck. Maybe I'll switch to Notes come September? Maybe just back to Notability.
What ever happened to Jade 4C-Die. The new :Mac Pro really needed to have the M2 quad Max chip with 384GB of RAM, 152 GPU cores and 48 CPU cores to justify it’s continuing existence. Hopefully it clocks higher than the Studio, given the better cooling.
Android has had something similar to Live Voicemail for a few years now, but it's a Pixel exclusive. You have to choose to send the caller to your assistant and it goes to a different location from your voicemail, but it is interactive and you can pick up in the middle of the caller's response. I'm guessing iOS Live Voicemail does something similar but dumps it to your voicemail afterward.
@@kerrydaniels8460 I know, I had visual voicemail on an HTC Eco a decade ago. I'm talking about the Call Screening feature of the Google assistant, which I believe is still a Pixel exclusive. It lets you see the caller's responses and interact through the assistant.
@ralph90009 Then that is not what this video is about then. Apple isn't doing all that. They're just getting the decade+ years old visual voicemail and thinking it is some innovative feature.
@@kerrydaniels8460You definitely did not read or understand at all what @ralph900009 was saying at all . He is not talking about Visual voicemail that has been on androids forever now and its currently on IPhone . He is talking about a interactive voice mail in real time that is transcribed on your screen during the call and you have the ability to pickup and interrupt the voicemail and talk directly to the person making the voicemail instead of waiting for it to go to visual voicemail read what was left and then call them back . Next time read more slowly so you can understand the comment
the cool thing about the contact cards is that everyone creates their own, and it's transmitted in the caller data... at least that's how i interpreted it..... kind of like an updated version of the profile picture attached to your icloud account.
They were showing Direct x 12 running during the gaming demo, So i'm guessing they made a translation layer on top of their metal api, so i'm sure game developers will have a much easier time porting their games to mac and mac gaming might finally take off this time
I’m glad Apple cares more about mental health than money hungry people who say, If you don’t buy good luck trying to not get depressed! Apple is very generous to their users for doing this! I can’t wait for journaling! Gonna be so awesome!
"No need to wander around the room, bumping your phone with others" - Craig Federighi, 2013, mocking Android Beam at the iOS 7 Conference. How we've come full circle
"it is sure to Sherlock Day One" is a phrase that's so reliant on knowledge of third-party app development history that I'm chuckling thinking about trying to understand it even a tiny bit without context.
It’s nice that Apple added simple call screening, since has been an Android feature for years. Maybe next year they can make it more like Android the phone talks to the person, or calls businesses for you, or stays on hold for you and speaks to the people.
Pixel feature. I wish it was an Android feature. Samsung has Dex and then Google keeps call screening for Pixels. One of the reasons I carry two phones. Why Pixels don't have a "desktop" mode is beyond me though. Apple not supporting stage manager on displays with a USB-C iPhone is the real bottleneck of progress though.
yes and Google Voice (previously Call Central when it was a separate company) had it for years before it even came to Pixel would be great to see these other features "invented" too
@@itsROMPERS... It was a Pixel exclusive. I wonder if Google has patents on it and Apple went ahead and licensed them. Now that Apple has it, Samsung will get it sooner than later.
they missed a huge opportunity to make the iPad do what the iPhone does while charging to make it a smart display. I guess they just don't want to encourage people to never unplug it and end up blowing up the battery lol
I feel annoyed. 😑I just purchased the maxed out Mac studio M1 just a few weeks ago just for them to announce the M2 version. I've been on a trip so haven't opened it yet, but not sure if I even should. Should I return it and get the M2 version?
You can tell when something is a mature product/platform when the updates are quality of life iterative updates and not flashy gimmicks. Many of the best features from the last few OS updates, have been huge quality of life improvements; Live Text, Focus Modes etc.
The business callout for the bigger Air is still accurate even with the more consumer-friendly pricing levels. We had a lot of MacBook Pro users who didn't need "pro" portables. Now we can offer something with macOS, a 15-inch screen, and excellent battery life for the people who just need a browser, M$ Office, and that one specific Mac app for their field of research that doesn't have a good Windows alternative.
MacOS Sonoma is a snoozer. The System Prefs is still a disaster. Even for someone that has used Macs for 25+ years I still can't figure out the mess System Prefs has become. That is one reason why I'm still running High Sierra on my main driver a 2013 iMac.
12:26 In the U.S. there was a rule change that would allow for the possibility of over the counter hearing aids that don’t require expensive appointments with an audiologist. This feature feels like a prelude to Apple getting into that market.
I did the same thing, almost anyway. Macbook M2 Max, 16", 64Gb memory, 2TB SSD, and OMG. This machine will be smarter than me for as many years as I have left. But first I get to learn a lot again! Yet so far I screwed up the OS in just one night, trying to put a driver into it so that I can not only read, but also write to my many NTSF formatted hard drives. Thank you Ventura (and there's a back story that you know I'm sure). So now I can not read, or write to any of my drives. I'll solve it, but I will have to reload the OP SYS, and possibly start from reformatting the internal drive, and reloading everything. It's a long story, and this is your channel - but yeah, I spent a little over 5200.00 and 1 week before 280.00 (total cost) for the new AirPods. Newest I-Phone is next, then watch, and then VR to top it all off - although I'll wait for more apps and practical use for the goggles and, I hope - price drops. I waited on this for about 9 months or so, from when I first decided to go for it. Everyone said wait... always something I have heard through the many years. No longer. This will probably be my last computer honestly... so I wanted it to be more than I needed.
as a cg artist the mac pro upgrades are not enought... the performance is not enough... the limited ram is an issue. there is no gpu upgrade path for rendering or any professional work.... we've been effed over again.... this is just a glorified pcie expansion case , but for what? more internal storage? faster networking? great... we needed those years ago... i pity the professional audio people who are stuck with this....
My guess is that this is not real voicemail, this is the phone answering and acting like an answering machine. That is why you can "pick up" the phone and answer just like in the old machines.
I have to say the title sums up this video perfectly! I’d only use the Mac Pro for data management. And it makes a horrible server anyway. I speak of this because I own an M1 Mac mini. I only use it for restoring my laptop if necessary.
Excited about that autocorrect, primarily because when I use swipe on my phone, no matter how many times I redo it, it will put in the almost-never-used-proper-noun "Andy" instead of the used-a-million-times-everyday-common-word "and" which chips a little piece of my soul away every time.
Live Voicemail is actually done on-device, not through the carrier. I’m in Canada and most carriers here paywall Visual Voicemail, so most people here don’t have it. With Live Voicemail, the voicemails get saved under the recents section in the phone app. So essentially, this gives Visual Voicemail to those who don’t have it!
It's gonna be a wild ride when these hit the reviewers. I was dumb and bought the 2019 Mac Pro. I'd like be able to justify buying a Mac Pro 2023 but cannot.
I bought my Mac Pro immediately. After switching to the Mac Studio from my 28 Core, I died with the fan sounds of external storage in my studio. Storage, video capture cards and ability to add ports is perfect for me.
I do think the SOC will be user upgradable as their push has been that way anyway. I imagine you will be able to purchase M3 Ultra chips to replace through the program they started in about two years.
Yeah, that thought occurred to me, but I bet it will be pricey as hell. It will still be worth it for some users. The main customers for this equipment are at the very high end. They might be leasing the equipment anyway. 99.99% of us don’t need slots or extra i/o capability of a beefed up afterburner (which is now “free”). But for that 0.01%, this Mac Pro is going to be big ass titties.
For something like living in a server rack or on a bench somewhere, the PCIE nics are way more practical. What else is the empty space in the case going to be used for!
Gonna be honest, with the new Mac Pro, if it doesn't support Radeon or Arc GPUs, it's probably not worth buying unless you're a video/image editor, or want to use the PCIE lanes for capture cards, encoder cards, or fast NVME drives. I likewise think the Apple Silicon Macbooks would have really benefited from the option of supporting eGPUs, just like with the Intel-based Macbooks, not just for gaming and work tasks, but for the reason to make the e-Waste problem with laptops not already as bad as it is now. The whole point of the Mac Pro initially was to replace stuff like Silicon Graphics' workstations, but it seems like if you want fast offline rendering, you're gonna need a render farm of GPUs on top of the Mac you're already paying $7K or higher for. Seeing how there's already several ARM SOC motherboards that have replaceable and upgradable CPUs (Jeff Geerling did a video on one of them), I'm remaining optimistic that ARM isn't single-handedly gonna kill the kind of conventions and expectations you'd expect from a workstation PC. Will be neat to see what AMD and others can cook up with their upcoming ARM CPUs. EDIT: Yeah, music production too I guess, judging from the video. I don't plan to buy it, but it's interesting to see where things are headed.
At least you can expand storage using U.2 and U.3 with large and professional SSDs in the PCIe slots with the very affordable U.2/3 to PCIe Adapter cards.
Journaling app sounds great. I’d really like to have a stylus for journaling on my phone though. Typing just doesn’t right for this particular use case.
I have no issues with the Home app or HomeKit, or getting Siri to turn lights on and off. Maybe it's just because I have a pretty simple setup…just a few lights, a motion sensor, an AppleTV and a HomePod Mini. The responsiveness and reliability got even better after the HomeKit upgrade offered in iOS 16.4.
5:39 Name Drop is an old idea. There was a third party app (“Bump”?) that allowed you to exchange contact info with other iPhone users by “bumping” phones together. This was iPhone 3G days (2008). If I recall, an Apple iOS update killed it. Another “advancement” 15 years in the making! 😂😂😂
Pixels have had the live voicemail feature for a long time and built better called screen call and Google voice assistant will ask why you are calling say this is screen call and ask who you are then it will be transcribed and appear like a message then you can have assistant say more things and it will appear again as a text from you and you can repeat and then answer or decline. And it works on all cell caries and it works in Australia,Canada,France,Germany,Ireland,Italy,Japan,Spain,UK,US
Pretty much most of the new iPhone features I was like eh with not really getting the use at least for me until they got to check in. Which is just absolutely fantastic and already useful. There is an app through my university to this automatically but if one does not check in it calls campus security which I can see going wrong easily if I just forget to say I arrived one day, so I always have to do this manually through text. So a way to simplify the process is great. Especially if I can use the feature in a busy group chat so no matter what someone will be near their phone if I don’t get to where I need to be in time and can reach out to me faster.
Of course it's possible: it's being done by the APP and is intercepting the voice, piping the content to the carrier voicemail box, and the transcript over the internet to the other phone's app.
Same here. It gives some weight to those rumors earlier on that said the Apple had to scrap the M2 Extreme or whatever that class chip would've been called.
@@handytech9481 yeah, that too. It's quite apparent that they would have liked to have an exclusive chip above just for the Mac Pro, the same way they do for every bump up. Even more considering that the rumors were correct. But what I meant is regarding the customization for more GPU or more RAM or dual socket, etc. Someone might not need a lot of GPU but it might need a lot of RAM, for instance. To make it upgradable somehow, everything that they bragged about when they announced the last Mac Pro. PCI gen 4 is not really that, even more for the extra $3K. Apple loves to recycle old form factors, they didn't even correct the fact that you can't open the Mac Pro without unplugging all cables and the form factor is clearly an overkill for heat dissipation.
Did you ever touch on what you didn’t like about the home app? I quite like it. Also, they actually did also update it some, it was some minor tweaks but some nice changes nonetheless like with the thermostat
1:00 I think the way Live Voicemail works is that if you ignore an incoming call the iPhone picks up the call for you, plays the message you defined and starts recording what the caller says and transcribes that. If you were to pick up while it is doing that it just connects the speaker and mic to that call in progress, the iPhone hands over the phone to you so to speak. This way it would need no setup from the carrier because for them it is like you picked up the phone yourself. Of course if your iPhone is out of network reach or the battery is dead the message will go to the voicemail inbox and would not be transcribed. But if that is the case I'm wondering if recording phone calls will also be possible, for example to get a number or other piece of information you would want to get transcribed? The reason it only shows US and Canada might be because of how stable the transcription works, guess the american English accent works fine but nothing else yet.
@@MarcosElMalo2 It is well hidden and a bit ambiguous, on the iOS 17 Preview page you can turn the card Visual Voicemail around with the + sign on the bottom right, then there's a text explaining it with the foot note 1 which says "Available in English (Canada, U.S.)." on the bottom of the page. So no French and no Spanish either. This is why I think it is more a transcription problem and not a carrier compatibility issue. But it is referring to the pick up while transcribing thing, maybe other languages are just not real time but will still come through later? Maybe I'm interpreting more into that than there is...
I suspect there's more to the Mac Pro update than has been announced. Will we get a chip beyond the M2 Ultra? Will we get dedicated GPU or eGPU support? Will we get memory expansion? If we don't get these features then this is a hobbled machine right out of the gate. PCIe 4 slots are nice, but PCIe 5 is now starting to appear, and will probably be the standard within a year. This feels like a "ship it now or else" product. It gives me almost no reason to upgrade my 2019 Mac Pro.
It was weird, no announcement for CXL Memory Support. M2 is still a disappointment. Maybe with M3 Apple will finally update the GPU to the current level and add PCIe 6.0 and CXL 2.0 Support.
Generally agree with the games portion, except that while No Man's Sky originally came out years ago, it has received regular updates and content. It would be like an MMO that came out years ago, that keeps getting content, finally coming out for Mac.
live voicemail and to answer it was possible I think.. didn’t google do it with the assistant?? can a pixel user confirm? where it acts as receptionist? also the video thing on FaceTime was also done on now googles discontinued “Duo” app

Thanks! This really should be on the video itself.
You’ve got too much free time 😂
You are a life and time saver!
When we see the price of the Mac Pro, and with no iMac Pro in sight, there’s no way Apple could have dropped the Studio product lineup… as d why would they in the first place. It’s the only pro Mac Apple makes that isn’t cramped into a laptop (thermal constraints, TB4 screen limitations) that non-rich kids can afford.
My man straight up doxxed the Tech Tips man himself lol
Home did get an update by the way! It's on the iOS 17 preview page, home now shows you history for locks, contact sensors, garage doors, and security systems. Small, but definitely nice.
I use HomeSpan and an esp32 board to integrate my legacy security system into HomeKit. I created fake lights for each contact sensor, so that I could see a change of state if I missed an event. This would be much better.
I used the Home App for automations for about a month until one random day they all stopped working, went back to Alexa and they work without fail…won’t make that mistake again…pretty much love all my Apple hardware, but their smart home implementation is just awful and unfortunately I will never open the Home app except to update my HomePod Mini
The voicemail interruption feature is the smartphone equivalent of being able to hear in real time - and interrupt, if you choose - a voice message being left on a physical answering machine. I remember calling someone via landline and having them pick up the phone while I was leaving a message.
For me the iOS part was just a combination of "that wasn't a thing before?" and "I want that on Android". The drag to reply one surprised me, as it's common in many messaging apps
I'd love to see the Airdrop internet feature upgraded to full blown peer to peer file share from anywhere.
Call it Slingshot
Was patiently waiting for this recap video, always one of the best
Appreciate your wrap up Quinn! Can't believe you didn't get invited to WWDC to try out the Vision Pro.
I was so hyped when Craig said „finally we bring this highly requested app to the iPad“….me: calculator! Yes! So disappointed when he said health 😅
I think the special contact cards are only for yourself, and it sends that card when you call another iPhone user
00:07 - "I was 17 once... so, let's begin with iOS" 😂
(Great intro! Been a viewer of your channel since 2015 and your uploads are informative, but not only that, your humor and jokes are funny af!😅)
The “tap to exchange contact info” feature is much needed.
Apple intentionally holds off features for future software updates.
The live voicemail feature for iOS 17 is definitely similar to (but not the same as) the Pixel's call screening feature that we've had for years, except it doesn't save the screening to voicemail. That's the cool part!
Ok Mr Quinn, you may sleep now. :P
I watched the entire keynote, but I don't care. I like watching everyone's recap videos
10:00 - I didn't realize the iPad bounced your hand off of it anytime you selected something. Best unannounced feature.
Nice to see Notes app improvements. I switched to OneNote about a year and a half ago from Notability when it switched to a subscription model (even though my App Store purchase was grandfathered in). I am seriously starting to hate OneNote on iPad, it's just riddled with bugs and PDF scans suck. Maybe I'll switch to Notes come September? Maybe just back to Notability.
Is the journal app only going to iPhone or will it be available on Mac and iPad?
Hope you have the receipt.
Accepting a call during a voicemail has been possible for a while with landline phones.
What ever happened to Jade 4C-Die. The new :Mac Pro really needed to have the M2 quad Max chip with 384GB of RAM, 152 GPU cores and 48 CPU cores to justify it’s continuing existence. Hopefully it clocks higher than the Studio, given the better cooling.
Agreed 100%
the new Mac Pro is an empty box for 7k
Live voicemail: Google has been doing this on the Pixel for a while now.
Android has had something similar to Live Voicemail for a few years now, but it's a Pixel exclusive. You have to choose to send the caller to your assistant and it goes to a different location from your voicemail, but it is interactive and you can pick up in the middle of the caller's response. I'm guessing iOS Live Voicemail does something similar but dumps it to your voicemail afterward.
Visual voicemail is in no way a pixel exclusive and has existed for probably close to a decade or something like that. It's been around forever.
@@kerrydaniels8460 I know, I had visual voicemail on an HTC Eco a decade ago. I'm talking about the Call Screening feature of the Google assistant, which I believe is still a Pixel exclusive. It lets you see the caller's responses and interact through the assistant.
@ralph90009 Then that is not what this video is about then. Apple isn't doing all that. They're just getting the decade+ years old visual voicemail and thinking it is some innovative feature.
@@kerrydaniels8460You definitely did not read or understand at all what @ralph900009 was saying at all . He is not talking about Visual voicemail that has been on androids forever now and its currently on IPhone . He is talking about a interactive voice mail in real time that is transcribed on your screen during the call and you have the ability to pickup and interrupt the voicemail and talk directly to the person making the voicemail instead of waiting for it to go to visual voicemail read what was left and then call them back .
Next time read more slowly so you can understand the comment
5:49 Impressive. Very nice... Let's see Paul Allen's NameDrop...
Quinn, I always look forward to your post-Apple event coverage the most. Most nuanced and detailed analysis of their new launches.
True, with great humor as well!
Watching this video was my treat for myself after a long day, thanks Quinn
the cool thing about the contact cards is that everyone creates their own, and it's transmitted in the caller data... at least that's how i interpreted it..... kind of like an updated version of the profile picture attached to your icloud account.
What's so bad about the Settings app? It's more uniform with the other platforms.
They were showing Direct x 12 running during the gaming demo, So i'm guessing they made a translation layer on top of their metal api, so i'm sure game developers will have a much easier time porting their games to mac and mac gaming might finally take off this time
It was inside Rosetta.
They also rolled out a translator to take the PC games and make a native Metal executable.
Oh, and the emulator is public domain.
Best apple event recaps on UA-cam
AirPods firmware update is very needed. The pro 2s have so many connection bugs
Mmmm, have never really had any connection issues with my Pro2 set since I got them.
@@dandanthesoundman7607 welp that solves it then. If it’s never happened to Dan the Sound man then can’t be a real thing for anyone else.
I’m glad Apple cares more about mental health than money hungry people who say, If you don’t buy good luck trying to not get depressed! Apple is very generous to their users for doing this! I can’t wait for journaling! Gonna be so awesome!
"No need to wander around the room, bumping your phone with others" - Craig Federighi, 2013, mocking Android Beam at the iOS 7 Conference.
How we've come full circle
I can’t believed I watched this whole video to hear your Vision Pro thoughts that never came!
lol but who really uses messages?
Outside of the US anyways nobody does SMS anymore. it's all whatsapp
"it is sure to Sherlock Day One" is a phrase that's so reliant on knowledge of third-party app development history that I'm chuckling thinking about trying to understand it even a tiny bit without context.
It’s nice that Apple added simple call screening, since has been an Android feature for years. Maybe next year they can make it more like Android the phone talks to the person, or calls businesses for you, or stays on hold for you and speaks to the people.
Pixel feature. I wish it was an Android feature. Samsung has Dex and then Google keeps call screening for Pixels. One of the reasons I carry two phones. Why Pixels don't have a "desktop" mode is beyond me though. Apple not supporting stage manager on displays with a USB-C iPhone is the real bottleneck of progress though.
yes and Google Voice (previously Call Central when it was a separate company) had it for years before it even came to Pixel would be great to see these other features "invented" too
How can I get these features for my Samsung Galaxy?
@@itsROMPERS... It was a Pixel exclusive. I wonder if Google has patents on it and Apple went ahead and licensed them. Now that Apple has it, Samsung will get it sooner than later.
@@itsROMPERS... Natively, you'll need a Google Pixel but with free Google Voice it's built right into the service
Something absent from macOS (for the past decade at least) is proper multi monitor support. It is still janky with three monitors.
I’m Dumb and Spent $7,000 on the New Mac Pro - It's not being dumb it's having bread in the bank, enjoy bro
Best Apple coverage in the game. Loved this, Quinn!
I’m the most liked comment.
EDIT - failed successfully
As an iPad Pro user, having interactive widgets soon will bring me big joy
they missed a huge opportunity to make the iPad do what the iPhone does while charging to make it a smart display. I guess they just don't want to encourage people to never unplug it and end up blowing up the battery lol
@@HearMeLearn I resemble that remark.
I feel annoyed. 😑I just purchased the maxed out Mac studio M1 just a few weeks ago just for them to announce the M2 version. I've been on a trip so haven't opened it yet, but not sure if I even should. Should I return it and get the M2 version?
You can tell when something is a mature product/platform when the updates are quality of life iterative updates and not flashy gimmicks. Many of the best features from the last few OS updates, have been huge quality of life improvements; Live Text, Focus Modes etc.
The business callout for the bigger Air is still accurate even with the more consumer-friendly pricing levels.
We had a lot of MacBook Pro users who didn't need "pro" portables. Now we can offer something with macOS, a 15-inch screen, and excellent battery life for the people who just need a browser, M$ Office, and that one specific Mac app for their field of research that doesn't have a good Windows alternative.
My landline has the ability to interrupt a voicemail and that thing is decades old at this point
Trip on a shoelace is dangerous :D We want those devs to step on a lego multiple times randomly over many years and get no permanent physical harm :D
MacOS Sonoma is a snoozer. The System Prefs is still a disaster. Even for someone that has used Macs for 25+ years I still can't figure out the mess System Prefs has become. That is one reason why I'm still running High Sierra on my main driver a 2013 iMac.
12:26 In the U.S. there was a rule change that would allow for the possibility of over the counter hearing aids that don’t require expensive appointments with an audiologist.
This feature feels like a prelude to Apple getting into that market.
I did the same thing, almost anyway. Macbook M2 Max, 16", 64Gb memory, 2TB SSD, and OMG. This machine will be smarter than me for as many years as I have left. But first I get to learn a lot again! Yet so far I screwed up the OS in just one night, trying to put a driver into it so that I can not only read, but also write to my many NTSF formatted hard drives. Thank you Ventura (and there's a back story that you know I'm sure). So now I can not read, or write to any of my drives. I'll solve it, but I will have to reload the OP SYS, and possibly start from reformatting the internal drive, and reloading everything. It's a long story, and this is your channel - but yeah, I spent a little over 5200.00 and 1 week before 280.00 (total cost) for the new AirPods. Newest I-Phone is next, then watch, and then VR to top it all off - although I'll wait for more apps and practical use for the goggles and, I hope - price drops. I waited on this for about 9 months or so, from when I first decided to go for it. Everyone said wait... always something I have heard through the many years. No longer. This will probably be my last computer honestly... so I wanted it to be more than I needed.
I bet they're working on gettin stage manager so good that they will just port the macos calculator fo ipad os just as is lol
“LIVE VOICEMAIL” just like the 90s screening your calls on your ANSWERING MACHINE…
as a cg artist the mac pro upgrades are not enought... the performance is not enough... the limited ram is an issue. there is no gpu upgrade path for rendering or any professional work.... we've been effed over again.... this is just a glorified pcie expansion case , but for what? more internal storage? faster networking? great... we needed those years ago... i pity the professional audio people who are stuck with this....
My guess is that this is not real voicemail, this is the phone answering and acting like an answering machine. That is why you can "pick up" the phone and answer just like in the old machines.
I have to say the title sums up this video perfectly! I’d only use the Mac Pro for data management. And it makes a horrible server anyway. I speak of this because I own an M1 Mac mini. I only use it for restoring my laptop if necessary.
Standby may not be looked at as a big deal but I think it's so dope. It's the little things.
Excited about that autocorrect, primarily because when I use swipe on my phone, no matter how many times I redo it, it will put in the almost-never-used-proper-noun "Andy" instead of the used-a-million-times-everyday-common-word "and" which chips a little piece of my soul away every time.
This is a great video, you covered a lot more detail than most other tech reviewers and this is fantastic since I didn’t watch the whole keynote
Now, If only iOS17 had added the "second button" feature, to help button Craigs shirt
Been using the beta firmware on my AirPods Pro 2 today, and so far am very impressed by the adaptive noise mode!
How do you trigger an update?
Quinn, from time to time I always realise how you are just simply on another level. Congrats on the video!
Live Voicemail is actually done on-device, not through the carrier. I’m in Canada and most carriers here paywall Visual Voicemail, so most people here don’t have it. With Live Voicemail, the voicemails get saved under the recents section in the phone app. So essentially, this gives Visual Voicemail to those who don’t have it!
quinn, where can i get that tee?
Thanks for your coverage, saved me watching the annoying keynote
1:05 homie has never gotten a voicemail on a landline
I’m kinda bummed the 15 inch Air didn’t get Wi-fi 6E
I can't be the only one who called the 888 number for kicks and giggles
It's gonna be a wild ride when these hit the reviewers. I was dumb and bought the 2019 Mac Pro. I'd like be able to justify buying a Mac Pro 2023 but cannot.
3:09 just called Linus. Now I am CEO of Channel Super Fun. Thanks Quinn:)
I bought my Mac Pro immediately. After switching to the Mac Studio from my 28 Core, I died with the fan sounds of external storage in my studio. Storage, video capture cards and ability to add ports is perfect for me.
I do think the SOC will be user upgradable as their push has been that way anyway. I imagine you will be able to purchase M3 Ultra chips to replace through the program they started in about two years.
Yeah, that thought occurred to me, but I bet it will be pricey as hell. It will still be worth it for some users.
The main customers for this equipment are at the very high end. They might be leasing the equipment anyway. 99.99% of us don’t need slots or extra i/o capability of a beefed up afterburner (which is now “free”). But for that 0.01%, this Mac Pro is going to be big ass titties.
For something like living in a server rack or on a bench somewhere, the PCIE nics are way more practical. What else is the empty space in the case going to be used for!
18:17 HEY LOOK GUYS oh man i remember windows vista what a time to be alive
Gonna be honest, with the new Mac Pro, if it doesn't support Radeon or Arc GPUs, it's probably not worth buying unless you're a video/image editor, or want to use the PCIE lanes for capture cards, encoder cards, or fast NVME drives. I likewise think the Apple Silicon Macbooks would have really benefited from the option of supporting eGPUs, just like with the Intel-based Macbooks, not just for gaming and work tasks, but for the reason to make the e-Waste problem with laptops not already as bad as it is now. The whole point of the Mac Pro initially was to replace stuff like Silicon Graphics' workstations, but it seems like if you want fast offline rendering, you're gonna need a render farm of GPUs on top of the Mac you're already paying $7K or higher for.
Seeing how there's already several ARM SOC motherboards that have replaceable and upgradable CPUs (Jeff Geerling did a video on one of them), I'm remaining optimistic that ARM isn't single-handedly gonna kill the kind of conventions and expectations you'd expect from a workstation PC. Will be neat to see what AMD and others can cook up with their upcoming ARM CPUs.
EDIT: Yeah, music production too I guess, judging from the video. I don't plan to buy it, but it's interesting to see where things are headed.
At least you can expand storage using U.2 and U.3 with large and professional SSDs in the PCIe slots with the very affordable U.2/3 to PCIe Adapter cards.
Journaling app sounds great. I’d really like to have a stylus for journaling on my phone though. Typing just doesn’t right for this particular use case.
The Mac Pro now feels like a ghost town, where you’ve arrived, but no one’s left.
I have no issues with the Home app or HomeKit, or getting Siri to turn lights on and off. Maybe it's just because I have a pretty simple setup…just a few lights, a motion sensor, an AppleTV and a HomePod Mini. The responsiveness and reliability got even better after the HomeKit upgrade offered in iOS 16.4.
5:39 Name Drop is an old idea. There was a third party app (“Bump”?) that allowed you to exchange contact info with other iPhone users by “bumping” phones together. This was iPhone 3G days (2008). If I recall, an Apple iOS update killed it. Another “advancement” 15 years in the making! 😂😂😂
Pixels have had the live voicemail feature for a long time and built better called screen call and Google voice assistant will ask why you are calling say this is screen call and ask who you are then it will be transcribed and appear like a message then you can have assistant say more things and it will appear again as a text from you and you can repeat and then answer or decline. And it works on all cell caries and it works in Australia,Canada,France,Germany,Ireland,Italy,Japan,Spain,UK,US
Though not exactly the same the new voicemail live transcrption/interruption feature reminds me of Google's Screen Call feature which I use a lot.
Pretty much most of the new iPhone features I was like eh with not really getting the use at least for me until they got to check in. Which is just absolutely fantastic and already useful.
There is an app through my university to this automatically but if one does not check in it calls campus security which I can see going wrong easily if I just forget to say I arrived one day, so I always have to do this manually through text. So a way to simplify the process is great. Especially if I can use the feature in a busy group chat so no matter what someone will be near their phone if I don’t get to where I need to be in time and can reach out to me faster.
Apps being out of the way in iMessage is great. I constantly hit those app icons when typing by mistake.
Of course it's possible: it's being done by the APP and is intercepting the voice, piping the content to the carrier voicemail box, and the transcript over the internet to the other phone's app.
The new Mac Pro is quite puzzling. I thought that when they decided to move to Apple Silicon they would have things figured it out.
Same here. It gives some weight to those rumors earlier on that said the Apple had to scrap the M2 Extreme or whatever that class chip would've been called.
@@handytech9481 yeah, that too. It's quite apparent that they would have liked to have an exclusive chip above just for the Mac Pro, the same way they do for every bump up. Even more considering that the rumors were correct.
But what I meant is regarding the customization for more GPU or more RAM or dual socket, etc. Someone might not need a lot of GPU but it might need a lot of RAM, for instance.
To make it upgradable somehow, everything that they bragged about when they announced the last Mac Pro. PCI gen 4 is not really that, even more for the extra $3K.
Apple loves to recycle old form factors, they didn't even correct the fact that you can't open the Mac Pro without unplugging all cables and the form factor is clearly an overkill for heat dissipation.
Did you ever touch on what you didn’t like about the home app? I quite like it. Also, they actually did also update it some, it was some minor tweaks but some nice changes nonetheless like with the thermostat
"this is going to change the game" Quinn this is just a knock version of Google's call screening lol
1:00 I think the way Live Voicemail works is that if you ignore an incoming call the iPhone picks up the call for you, plays the message you defined and starts recording what the caller says and transcribes that. If you were to pick up while it is doing that it just connects the speaker and mic to that call in progress, the iPhone hands over the phone to you so to speak. This way it would need no setup from the carrier because for them it is like you picked up the phone yourself. Of course if your iPhone is out of network reach or the battery is dead the message will go to the voicemail inbox and would not be transcribed. But if that is the case I'm wondering if recording phone calls will also be possible, for example to get a number or other piece of information you would want to get transcribed?
The reason it only shows US and Canada might be because of how stable the transcription works, guess the american English accent works fine but nothing else yet.
I’ll double check but did it say English Only? Because French is common in Canada and Spanish is common in the U.S.
@@MarcosElMalo2 It is well hidden and a bit ambiguous, on the iOS 17 Preview page you can turn the card Visual Voicemail around with the + sign on the bottom right, then there's a text explaining it with the foot note 1 which says "Available in English (Canada, U.S.)." on the bottom of the page. So no French and no Spanish either. This is why I think it is more a transcription problem and not a carrier compatibility issue. But it is referring to the pick up while transcribing thing, maybe other languages are just not real time but will still come through later? Maybe I'm interpreting more into that than there is...
I suspect there's more to the Mac Pro update than has been announced. Will we get a chip beyond the M2 Ultra? Will we get dedicated GPU or eGPU support? Will we get memory expansion? If we don't get these features then this is a hobbled machine right out of the gate. PCIe 4 slots are nice, but PCIe 5 is now starting to appear, and will probably be the standard within a year. This feels like a "ship it now or else" product. It gives me almost no reason to upgrade my 2019 Mac Pro.
It was weird, no announcement for CXL Memory Support. M2 is still a disappointment. Maybe with M3 Apple will finally update the GPU to the current level and add PCIe 6.0 and CXL 2.0 Support.
Generally agree with the games portion, except that while No Man's Sky originally came out years ago, it has received regular updates and content. It would be like an MMO that came out years ago, that keeps getting content, finally coming out for Mac.
I have never understood fixed complications on the Apple Watch. Complications should be location- or time-dependent, and configurable by the user.
live voicemail and to answer it was possible I think.. didn’t google do it with the assistant?? can a pixel user confirm? where it acts as receptionist? also the video thing on FaceTime was also done on now googles discontinued “Duo” app
