Motion sickness cues are an absolute god send! It pretty much eliminated my motion sickness in cars and trains. Absolutely love this feature!!

[ky]

Yes. The Motion sickness cues are working quite well to keep me from getting queasy. Very happy with that.

What's the impact on battery for vocal shortcuts? Constantly listening usually equals constantly draining.

[DanSchaumann]

The currency conversion tip is a game changer! I convert a lot from Canadian dollar to Brazilian real. When I tried the first time it knew straight away this is the conversion I wanted.

[MarceldeJong]

Obviously with the vocal shortcuts, you can use Siri instead. Just say “Siri, take a screenshot” will do the same thing.

[SteamDriven]

If Apple just fixed the basics like the Mail App not fetching and no notifications then that would be a good place to start IMO.

[robertbrzheintzbrz]

When I write 5CHF= (my home currency) it also converts to USD.
BUT! when I use THB, £, € it converts to CHF. Exactly what is needed!

Ywes, I was driving with a friend and tried it and it works miracles, also it works in public transport. Wow. Thank you

[siddharthsonawala]

Among N number of videos on iOS on YouTube, yours is different, unique and very useful! Great job!

8:25 When you told us about sorting photos by recently added. That changed the way i use my photos app. Very useful tip. Thank you Tom

It’s not that I don’t like the new photos layout, it’s just it’s really bugged. Pictures are overlapping when scrolling, not being able to manually navigate videos in slow motion, whilst zooming into pics and videos it doesn’t work properly in screen mirroring. Zooming into videos and trying to manually navigate through them causes all kinds of issues like crashes, video to reset and only being able to navigate a couple of seconds. I’m sure there’s a few more I’ve forgotten.

Awesome video as usual, thank you. The vocal shortcuts option turned on, gave me a strange outcome in using CarPlay. The car would switch from vocal input to CarPlay so the sound would switch from mono to stereo randomly. It was a crazy mess and sometimes stayed on only on vocal input.

[ronanb]

Great video with a real work on new features, not just the list from Apple.

[BitSmythe]

10:40 *THIS IS THE BEST TIP. Now we can get rid of all the crap. Thank you!*

[ademb]

How is this not different than your phone constantly listening out for “Siri or hey siri” so isn’t our mic constantly listening anyway??

[tnargs]

No iOS18 update showing up on my iPhone 13 as of 2024-10-12, so what's the deal with that?

[BitSmythe]

Has anyone figured *how to stop camera videos from continuously repeating?*

[Lorichs]

Some realy cool tips in this one. Thanks 🙏🏼
It is funny how an ios-update can seem quite underwhelming at first glance but once we dive into it all the cool stuff is revealed.
I can have a issue with motion sickness and i have some long trips ahead of me in the near future. So i’m looking forward to test the feature.
Also the that calculator/conversion works throughout ios i huge for a math dummy lile me 😊

[jnitesh]

Please note, if you tap and hold the camera button it will provide you the same 4 options and you can select say for e.g. selfie or portrait selfie and take the photo. I have it in my control center.

Always learning something new from you. Didn’t know about Safari quoting to Messages.
