Hey fella, I’ve wanted a fair few of your videos now and have come to make an observation which has impressed me. There are many UA-cam channels offering info about IOS and Apple products in general as well as other brands products, however I have noticed timer and time again just how clear and concise your videos are. I have no idea how much you rehearse or practice but you come across both as a natural and very professional. Personally I think you are way ahead of your competitors. In our today’s world almost everyone is very quick to complain or criticise but not so quick to recognise talent and well produced content. So well done my friend and thanks for posting such relevant content.
I’m a psychologist and am very pleased to learn about the new mental health feature! From what you show in the video, this tool seems to be very similar to an app that I’ve used to great benefit with many people in the past.
Great video! Not just listing out the new features but explaining exactly how they are useful and how to use them - this is just what i was looking for. Def subscribed and alerts on after this.
Looking forward to the new feature where callers who leave a voicemail will be readable on screen live allowing me to decide if I should pick up or not.
@@jaredcrane7547 search up your network providers default voicemail number. it should only be 3-6 numbers long but not too sure, it changes from network to network. here in Canada i use Freedom Mobile and it works whenever i call myself.
Liking the photo lookup feature, that’s one that had completely passed me by. It’s not going to be 100% perfect but when it gets stuff right (which seems to be quite often) it seems like magic!
As always, I appreciate your guidance. You were born to teach, and I audibly laughed at “Tim Apple,” recalling the clown who said he used the moniker “to save time and words.” You’re a treasure.
Another good overview of the key items within iOS 17 that allows me to get started and then move onto digging into the details of everything that has changed
@@keithsmith3118 It’s awesome! We both just add to the list… I was grocery shopping when my husband added something. It’s nice when we can see when something has been completed, as well.
@@martinasemeraro I just created a new Heading under "Add List" on your Reminders icon. Then called it "Groceries" or "Pet Appointments". I'm not very tech savvy so there could be a better way, but this works out great for me.
I chuckled pretty much the whole way through the “create your contact poster.” Your professional approach to the explanation was a nice contrast to the ridiculous name and image being used. I have to give Trump the tiniest sliver of credit for giving us “Tim Apple.”
I felt the same when I saw old Windows Phone features finally appearing in Android. (Although usually in a slightly clunky, not-quite-thought-out manner.) 😉
True, I gave iPhone another try and am very disappointed 1. Can’t close all apps at once 2. Can’t archive photos from library after putting them in a folder 3. Can’t archive messages 4. Delayed message send is very inferior and difficult 5. Can’t place apps exactly where you want without others moving around 6. Calculator Does not show your work so you can change stuff without starting over. 7. Can’t pause while recording a video 8. Copy and paste, copy does not stay on clipboard long
It’s well known that android phones have a lot of things before iPhone. Apple generally seem to wait until they’ve got it about right and then release it where as I think the android phones get the updates and work on it following release.
This is my first time finding one of your videos. I learned more useful info in this ONE video, than in a year of following a hugely successful person in this category (not knocking him, he was a great guy, you just seem to have really relevant content I can use). Thank you!!
I upgraded to iOS17 and I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Shopping list I made in Reminders only had a List Type of ‘Groceries’ and ‘Standard’ I selected Groceries and my list isn’t creating categories as the video illustrated. Any Recommendations?
I tried creating the Grocery list this morning and it worked. I didn’t do anything different from yesterday. Maybe there was a delay on having all the functionality work after installing iOS17.
I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and trying the new standby feature I.e. plugging in the phone and placing it on its side doesn’t seem to work is it me doing it wrong or isn’t my phone compatible. Thanks for the introduction to iOS 17.
great content with only one suggestion. When following the speed is way too fast to absorb what is being said, trying to see where you clicked and catching what we are supposed to be looking at. If slowed down somewhat it will be so much easier to follow.
People must use whatever they like for whatever purpose they like, but personally, I just can't see how using Notes is anything other than more awkward and slower than Reminders, where you can tap to remove items as you go around the shop, have them categorised by department, and add items to it using Siri, but hey that's just me 2 cents 🤷🏻♂️
@@ProperHonestTech Well, I do my shopping list in one shot or over the week. Seach index Pops Up the Grocery note right away and ect... Can't brake an hold habit that works A1 :)
@@Knotdead73I agree with you, if the category functions doesn’t work, notes is just as good if not better. Currently the auto category function is not working as he described. I tried both on phone and iPad.
I hope everyone fully understands that if you utilized every one of the functions shown here in this video, there is not one single aspect of your life that will remain private, or not be logged into a database somewhere to be used for analytics.
Great video as always Tom, with the right amount of explanation. I’m looking forward to downloading! I don’t see the charging stand with wood finish on “shop your desk”. Can you tell me more about it please? Thanks!!
The one thing no-one is mentioning in all the breathless coverage of iOS17, iPadOS17 and TVOS17… The sound quality has improved! Especially for Spatial Audio! You may not notice if you are listening via Bluetooth. But a digital cable to a good DAC or HDMI to a proper audio setup or good headphones reveals a far better audio experience than with 16. Who else has noticed this?
Thank you for a very clear video for the iPhone. I will be back when I upgrade my phone - after Christmas! I’ll be watching for other tech videos made by you. Please keep them coming!
Cool bit of an intro to it all, I find so much of the iOS updates confusing and overwhelming. You have helped me with items in the past and I hope I can get more familiar with just the things I need looking forward to the next bit of content coming. Thank you and keep it coming.
Very interesting, well produced and pleasant to listen to, thanks. As a teacher however, I must be pedantic an point this out... When you say "There ARE a number of options" you should be saying "There IS a number of options. It might sound wrong at first, that's because "common usage" has intervened to the point where even newsreaders and professionals are getting it wrong.
Imagine a phone that records all of your conversations and stores them "Somewhere Else" for further recognition, analysis. That pretty much covers all phones in recent history and we're all very happy and content about this, aren't we ?🤔
First thing - change Siri back to “Hey Siri” so it isn’t responding every time you want to watch a series, eat some serial, or any other word that starts with this sound, lol.
I absolutely ❤ your videos, they are so so well informative and fantastically delivered and explained. Thank you so much 😊👍🏻 Keep up the excellent work
I have to admit. Nothing about these 10 items excites me. I hope iOS 17 gives us more than what you just discussed. Love your channel. Thanks for all the interesting information.
I noticed that the Machine Learning algorithm in Photos is also able to identify plants, bugs, and other objects in photos. I was surprised by this when I first saw it. I was scrolling through my camera roll looking at the information provided by the image algorithm and seeing how it identified my cats and allowed me to find all images of them. Then I noticed it identified a fern, a currant, paper wasps, and metallic green bees I had taken pictures of. It’s rather impressive what it _can_ identify, even if it still seems to think a rabbit is a puggle.
Thanks for the info. You should make a video about the undesirables that ios17 did as well. They removed the custom text tones. It’s only their default now. I hate that they did that as I always use custom ringtones for different contact groups.
Really enjoy your videos; thanks for the work you put into them. I installed iOS 17, iPhone 11, yesterday and it's looking good. Car Play is much nicer. Just one thing though, so far anyway as I'm still checking out the update.. My only option in Settings for Siri is the old 'Hey Siri' not just 'Siri'. It's just as it was before. Annoying because it's a bit...well, you know.
For shopping list my husband and I use Our Groceries. And not just for groceries either. Hardware stores, party stores, drug stores. All good and in sync with each other.
It's a pity that the landscape Stand By mode only works if the phone is charging; it would be far more user friendly if you could set it to be like this as and whenever you want it to be, day or night, charging or not charging
Interesting. I just did the Upgrade. Reminder list doesn’t show Shopping, it shows Groceries, and the Headers DO NOT automatically show up for the entries, so whatever change they made, between the RC and the production release, they F’d it up! 😤
Thanks for the great video. I know this was a short summary of the top 10 new features, but one new feature that I have not seen mentioned by you or anyone else is the ability to send someone a text from the call screen while you are on the call with them. While on the call, tap the "i" on the top right (above their phone number), and then tap the message button. I recently switched over from Android and have really missed this feature that Android has had for years. It's especially useful when you are on a call with someone who is not in your contacts. Before this update, you had to go to the message app, tap new message, and then ask them their phone # so you could enter it on the "to" field while they're on speakerphone. What a pain!
iOS 17 update automatically turned on “listen for Siri”. I’ve always kept it off. I discovered this while I was watching a UA-cam video and Siri popped up and stopped my UA-cam video. It picked up the word “series” in the video. Frustrating. So, I think they still have a ways to go on this. It frustrates me when a iOS update automatically changes my settings. It makes it feel like they’re trying to force things on you. Could you do a video on what settings may have changed with the update? Thanks!
The Mental Health App may be used to prevent you from getting a gun licence. "I was really angry at...," "I felt really down when...," Gotcha, no gun licence.
You can’t use Spotify when in Standby.. Spotify plays songs but, it doesn’t show you what is playing. In standby all Spotify does is flashes up your social media notifications or shows you a circle with orange dots that move. It also shows a calendar if you have that part of standby.
one of the best things of ios 17 is the incresaed battery....like literlly you will notice the change in the battery backup whil using it even for the first time after installing the ios 17.... Since I am using iphone 12 mini , I was seriosly fed up with the battery performance of my pjone but after installing the ios 17, I can surely sya that it has significantly increased and now I can use it for full one day with some heavy tasks on it. Thanks APPLE for this update .

Imagine they introduce selective contact posters so your buddys will see a different one than your boss for example, that would be great
iOS 17 is pretty buggy. The name drop feature crashes the contacts app. And the posters don’t work unless you remove the contact and re add.
Visual lookup is basically training their AI model in the backend!!
As soon as you say stick with me until the end on the video, I’m gone. I came back after not watching for ages, and you still do it. I know its silly.

What about being able to schedule SMS messages natively, rather than using third party apps.
Pleasabtly surprised about the mental wellbeing log. I’ve looked for apps in tbe past but haven’t been a fan. Gonna give this a try.
I find the standby mode should be also in the widgets itself. Controlling the music within the widget itself and so on would be nice.
I got download the update soon
