What a labor of love! Thank you for this really informative video. I loved the examples. Pacing was great. I stopped and started it to train myself as I went along.
You are awesome! You have no idea how I appreciate this tutorial. I learned lots of new stuff and even have this featured upgraded. I love you already. Thank you! Thank you! :))
Thank you for creating this detailed, easy to follow video as to all of the new features in the latest Mac OS update. I found everything except the Ruduced Interrptions under Focus. (And yes, I would have enjoyed using AI in creatig this message, LOL) All The Best to YOU!
Having been away from the latest operating system, I believe it was Yosemite, for my previous iMac. However, I did not dedicate sufficient time to comprehending the Mac OS. I regret not investing more time in understanding its intricacies. Having made the decision to return, I have been conducting extensive research on the operating system from various perspectives using all my current devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPad 13” M4 Pro. The final steps include acquiring a new mini and Studio Display. The operating system is visually stunning. After conducting thorough research and joining several Patreon feeds dedicated to Macs, I am firmly convinced that Macs and Apple are significantly ahead of their competitors.
I authored a number of technical articles in my career. In my opinion, AI writing tools are contributing to the dumbing down of students learning to compose and the decline of writing skills across the board. Learning to use proper grammar and the ability to compose a message that the intended audience will receive and be receptive is going to be a lost art.
I really wish there was a way to get low power mode while still keeping the display at 120hz. I do not need the extra cpu power but i do want my smooth display. Its a shame these are not separate settings
Hi Brandon, could you consider doing a video on all the apps/ softwares you use for your mac/book. I see a lot of different app information on your menu bar and was wondering what they are all about. Also, how do you get to show the battery for all your devices on the battery widget? On my M1 MacBook the battery widget only shows the laptops battery and my AirPods (only when they are connected). Lastly, the “Reduce Interruptions” focus mode is only exclusive to Apple Intelligence capable devices? Cause I don’t see it on my iPhone 13 😅🙃 Thanks for the detailed video as always!
@@jasonpaul6297 So I checked both the lockera apps and they don't have any widget that shows the batteries for the other devices. And the default app only shows active devices (like itself and the bluetooth headphone)
He‘s flexing through out the hole video lol e.g. in settings he shows his Mac Studio and the widget on the top left 😂 everyone has know how many AirPods he got 😅
Simply change the Siri language, system language, and region to US English. I successfully completed this task, and it has been working without any issues. If Apple Intelligence is stuck in the “preparing” state (as it was for me), restarting the Mac may resolve the problem. Fun fact: i rewrote my comment with apple intelligence, lol
So we’re all going to have writing tools and reading summary tools. The reading tools will just summarise the long text which was probably written with a writing tool. So we’re back to square one again lol.
7:18 I think it’ll be so much better if there was a quicker keyboard shortcut or you could trigger Siri and ask to summarize or give key points. The writing tools seems buried in the right click menu.
Thanks for another fantastic video, Brandon! As always, you cover everything so well. All the features are impressive, but the standout has to be the option to finally install apps and games directly onto external drives. It really makes downloading games so much more convenient!
I think there are some bug preventing some features like smart reply and notification summary to work on my m1 mac. Same issue happened on my M4 ipad too, I get it working by resetting all settings. However for macos theres no such option to reset settings and keep data
I have a question, for those who were Windows users, when deleting text using the backspace key in the terminal (cmd), it quickly deleted what was written in the terminal, and why is it slow on Mac, it deletes very slowly? Is there a way to change this on Mac?
i have 15.1 installed on my macbook pro and i cannot find any settings related to "Intelligence". Is there anything to set before enabling this feature?
Can you make the widgets smaller, and how you can add the battery widget to your desktop is different thanks the iPhone or iPad, like you show , please explain 0:30
I have an M1Pro MBP and updating to 15.1 made my camera very very grainy. I’ve seen others complain about the same thing on MacRumours and Reddit. Any idea if this will be fixed soon through a patch or if the current 15.2 Beta has the issue too? I’m seriously considering downgrading the software otherwise :/
Hey, is there any problem with the Camera after update 15.1? my camera on my Macbook Pro M1 become very grainy after the update. Anybody experienced it too?
Hey brandon, I actually just updated my mac os that was bought in 2019. But the apple intelegence and siri is not visible to me when I visit the settings. Let alone, I don't have the apple intellegence logo on the top
Apple Intelligence on the Mac just hits different. Loving it so far & can't wait for 15.2!
Maybe the same features like in iOS 18.2?
Definitely! Loving the new features! It really helps, especially Apple Intelligence! Thank you, Apple!
Been waiting since launch of 18.2 idk if it’s a bug or not
@@CrunchyTacoShell- It’s not. The announced they were slowly rolling it out over the next few weeks.
5 min
I’ll be honest, I don’t have an Apple computer but you make me want a Macbook Pro, instead of just an iPad Pro alone.
Photo drag and drop is awesome.
Absolutely
What a labor of love! Thank you for this really informative video. I loved the examples. Pacing was great. I stopped and started it to train myself as I went along.
How long did it take you to get past the waitlist?
7 hours
Still stuck in the iOS 18.2 waitlist…
5000 years
30 minutes
still on waitlist on M2 MBA
Definitely some MUCH WELCOMED QOL improvements!!!
13:32 is bro daily driving a lambo?
i applied for apple intelligence a few hours ago can't wait to try it out since i do not have the ios version because i am in the eu
oh my goodness a mac video IVE NEEDED THIS
Love your videos. Keep it up. Please upload a video of the new Apple intelligence update for the iPad Pro as well. We would appreciate it.
I love the update, Brandon. Apple AI and writing tools are great.😊
Yes, they're.
Very informative! Thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
So excited for the next year of updates!
Year, exactly
Even macOS 15.1 is the best update because of the new Apple Intelligence features
after update ... i still don't see that Apple Intelligence button on the corner of the settings panel
its downloading separately, wait
Siri telling ananse stories hahahahahhaa... Ananse is an old Ghanaian folktale ahhahahaha.. Greetings from Ghana Brandon
Can you mirror your iPad to your Mac like you can with the phone?
I don’t believe so
No, just iPhone
They really should though
You can use AirPlay, but you can”t control it.
You can control your iPad with universal control but it’s never worked flawlessly for me
Awesome demonstration!
You are awesome! You have no idea how I appreciate this tutorial. I learned lots of new stuff and even have this featured upgraded. I love you already. Thank you! Thank you! :))
This Video so useful for me, thank you
thanks, helpful video
Love your cat Brandon
15:00 finally
Thank you. Subscribed
Apple Intelligence icon is not showing in menu bar. Is there a way to fix that?
turn it on from control center

Staying on a 10-year-old OS is strongly discouraged.

Great video, as always! Thank you for sharing
Good stuff Brandon.
great update, thanks you
Thanks for your perfect video✌
Great summary as usual! Can now update my MacBook Air M1 to Sequoia .
I really wish there was a way to get low power mode while still keeping the display at 120hz. I do not need the extra cpu power but i do want my smooth display. Its a shame these are not separate settings
Great video! Thank you
I dont get it, is the Apple Intelligence worse than on the iPhone?

The battery widget is from the Lockera app.
@@jasonpaul6297 thank you! I’ll check it out.
@@StonedNoob You're welcome. The one for MacBook is called "Lockera widgets'.
@@jasonpaul6297 So I checked both the lockera apps and they don't have any widget that shows the batteries for the other devices. And the default app only shows active devices (like itself and the bluetooth headphone)
13:35 nice lambo flex
He‘s flexing through out the hole video lol e.g. in settings he shows his Mac Studio and the widget on the top left 😂 everyone has know how many AirPods he got 😅
Greate video Brandon
Looks great, I must move to the USA to try it out…
Yeah, you can try it out.
Change your device language to US English and you should have full access if I'm not mistaken
Simply change the Siri language, system language, and region to US English. I successfully completed this task, and it has been working without any issues. If Apple Intelligence is stuck in the “preparing” state (as it was for me), restarting the Mac may resolve the problem.

👏🏻🤣This is hilarious.
Does writing tool work in Microsoft word?
battery performance on m1 pro 14”?
are there any negative of using beta version of apple intelignence??
Thanks! I was waiting for this! I won’t get a brew iPhone until next year, but I have a M1 MacBook.
Nice! I love that all M-series Macs are included to support Apple Intelligence
Same, except I don’t plan on getting a new iPhone anytime soon and my MacBook is M3
@@Joker-fj8hg You’re right. You can essentially get AI on your phone through iPhone mirroring on your new MacBook lol
Thank you Brandon!
7:18 I think it’ll be so much better if there was a quicker keyboard shortcut or you could trigger Siri and ask to summarize or give key points. The writing tools seems buried in the right click menu.
How is the battery for the macbooks
Thank you very helpful for a novice.
Apps should be updated to have the writing tools options? I don't see them in Figma or Notion...
Hey Brandon, do you have any info on when iPhone Mirroring will be available in the EU ?
Amazing video as always !
April
Apple confirmed it for April. Should be available in beta at some point in Feb/March
@@BrandonButch Thanks for your answer, Brandon
have a nice day !
@@xavier8011 Thanks for your answer :)
I don't have the apple intelligence icon in the top bar. Why is that?
How did you get the control center on the desktop like that
I got Apple intelligence enabled on my m3 mba, but there is no Siri button on the menu bar.
How did you manage to enable LPM from the menu bar? I can only disable it and then the toggle disappears.
Same for me, that’s weird !
Yea same
In Control Center settings, under Battery, turn on Show Energy Mode.
@@techwithtyler20 Thank you!
@@techwithtyler20 thank you!
What's the program u are using in the Menu Bar to track the time you are working?
Why is my iphone 15 mirroring working but not the drag and drop feature? Do I have to update my iphone to ios 18 or more?
Yes. You’re already on 18 if mirroring is working, but drag and drop requires 18.1.
Thanks for another fantastic video, Brandon! As always, you cover everything so well. All the features are impressive, but the standout has to be the option to finally install apps and games directly onto external drives. It really makes downloading games so much more convenient!
@@saflanali thank you! 🙏 and I agree, it’s a nice addition!
Is Max OS sequoia ready for professionals to upgrade to? think most of the bug kinks have been sorted?
I"ve been surprised how well it's been.
How did we ever connect a mouse without Apple Intelligence? Super useful lol
How about Siri on HomePod? is it forgotten?
I think there are some bug preventing some features like smart reply and notification summary to work on my m1 mac. Same issue happened on my M4 ipad too, I get it working by resetting all settings. However for macos theres no such option to reset settings and keep data
Happy Halloween, Brandon!
I have Mac Studio M2 Max and I don't see the "listen for Siri" option in the Apple Intelligence menu. Driving me nuts!
I have the m1 8gb should i update to sequoia ?
I have a question, for those who were Windows users, when deleting text using the backspace key in the terminal (cmd), it quickly deleted what was written in the terminal, and why is it slow on Mac, it deletes very slowly? Is there a way to change this on Mac?
Does genmoji work on mac too? If so how? I've been searching but I cant find it anywhere
what is the app you have for the battery manager on your desktop that has your battery info for all other devices? Thanks!
Thanks for the update! Quick question; What app do you use for screen recording? I'm trying to find a decent one.
Screen Studio
Its coming to me in Australia in December but do u know what day exactly?
Hi , I have MacBook m1 , its showing "preparing " after waitlist is over and its about 4 hours.
I love your waller
for some reason the low power mode doesn't show up for me automatically
What is the review of MacBook Air M2 (8gb ram) while using Apple Intelligence?? Is 8gb enough for a smooth experience?
Yes it is well more than enough. 8 GB is sufficient for most tasks. Leave M2, Even M1 8 GB is sufficient for most Apple Intelligence Tasks.
i have 15.1 installed on my macbook pro and i cannot find any settings related to "Intelligence". Is there anything to set before enabling this feature?
Can we disable the Siri/AI animation?
Is the Mac version of Apple intelligence already available in the EU? Because on the their website Apple is a little bit unclear...
But when I mirror my phone takes over the entire screen. How do you just have a preview of the phone?
Can you make the widgets smaller, and how you can add the battery widget to your desktop is different thanks the iPhone or iPad, like you show , please explain 0:30
You can add iPhone widgets.
Will Image Playground be available for the Mac once macOS 15.2 comes out in December?
Yes
@@techwithtyler20 Yay! Image Playground is going to be fun to try out once that comes out in December! 😁
There is a bug with macOS 15 that is touchbar macs cant use safe boot as it will require volume key which they dont
Does this work good on macbook air m2 the Apple intelligence?
how is siri input not part of spotlight???
I dont thin it works in non-Apple apps. I cant get it to work with Gmail on Edge. Is there a trick to enable it?
Command - S is for save. Please tell me you changed it back to ctrl - S 😬
I have an M1Pro MBP and updating to 15.1 made my camera very very grainy. I’ve seen others complain about the same thing on MacRumours and Reddit. Any idea if this will be fixed soon through a patch or if the current 15.2 Beta has the issue too? I’m seriously considering downgrading the software otherwise :/
hows the battery, yours is 14 or 16?
Hey, is there any problem with the Camera after update 15.1? my camera on my Macbook Pro M1 become very grainy after the update. Anybody experienced it too?
Any problem with creative cloud? I can't install !! It won open since the act.
I wonder how much m4 going to benefit apple intelligence?
what is the Apple Intelligence icon in menu bar on 3:12 ? 🤔
Do you have any idea when apple intelligence will get support for more languages?
December & then the EU in April
How do i see my "tags" in my Library folder? They show everywhere else except within Library. Others have reported this problem with no fix on 15.1
You can now tell it to click buttons for you by taking more time to type it out instead.
Hey brandon, I actually just updated my mac os that was bought in 2019. But the apple intelegence and siri is not visible to me when I visit the settings. Let alone, I don't have the apple intellegence logo on the top
You need a Mac with a silicone chip. I'm in the same boat as you -- we have Intel chips in our 2019 Macs. They won't do Apple Intelligence.
@@garywinterscoachablemoment7029 DAMN. Anyways, thanks for letting me know man, I was so confused.
I am so happy that i am in EU, paying extra for Apple products and not having access to all the features.
Just modify language to English US 😉
Murica!!
Why don’t we get ChatGPT integration with Siri on macOS?
That's in 15.2 in December
iis Genmoji on Mac because I don't see it anywhere after updating
Not right now
I am using is since today. I am happy for this new MacBook Pro M4Pro and the AI
Okay, why can't I access writing tools on my macbook air m1? Apple intelligence is already installed
