No joke, I've CONSTANTLY thought about what it would be like for our cell phones to have that old voicemail/pickup during the voicemail capability. That is so freaking cool.

FaceTime voice(video?)mail is such a wonderful feature to finally have. Anyone with loved ones across the country or world knows how special it is to see and hear those people and have it saved. Sure, people can already record a video and message/email- but this feature will feel like a continuation of the old “please leave a message after the beep” that the grandparents/less tech-savvy people will actually use. Granted, I know half of the video messages will be a few seconds of grandpa and grandma waving their fingers around looking for the button to hang up… and I’ll love those too.

I really like that they have (brought back) the voicemail feature that landlines used to have hahah being able to interrupt the voicemail is actually super useful! Instead of playing phone tag where it will sometimes just tell you that you have missed a call from the person you are literally leaving a voicemail to, they will just interrupt your message and you can talk straight away

This was a really cool video on the updated iOS! I haven’t seen heaps of your videos yet, but I have started watching a bunch that are about tech that I might only find moderately interesting just because I like how you talk about the tech: very honestly and with the end user in mind. Thank you

Man I’m so grateful for your channel. Such a beautiful, straight to the point, clean great video. Also that helmet on the shelf behind you is 🔥

The fact that I can finally "thank" Siri whenever I'm done asking questions like I do with my Google devices makes me happier than it probably should.

The personal voice feature is literally incredible. I'm going to get that setup as soon as possible. I don't even *need* a feature like this but it's super that I'm sure has a use case somewhere and is a really great example of up-and-coming technology.

Oh, the voicemail thing... I remember it well from like the '90s lol. I'm waiting for my brother to call and when he goes to voicemail my screen shows, "hey, pick up the phone!!" hahaha

[eldiablo]

6:27 I never knew what to call this, but compared to Android this was one the most annoying things on iOS while typing. Good to see they finally addressed it.

[sladewatkins]

Additional point on Personal Voice: it's also great for people like me with autism who may be nonverbal at times and need a way to communicate verbally without awkwardly writing things down or what have you. It's honestly very well thought out and I'm glad Apple added it.

[anikonicolaidou]

I think the whole voicemail thing is super cool actually. Like you said, it is like the answering machine back in the 90' / early 2000 but I think it's going to be a cool feature and the video message sounds good too. Can't wait to try these out.

As someone who just joined that Apple eco system with an Iphone 14 pro and got my apple watch series 7 yesterday. I am still getting used to it (its overwhelming) but finding those new improvements and features. Those throwback featues make me happy :) Great to see the direction they are going. I had a few android smartphones for over 12 years now and I finally understand what all those people were talking about. Thanks to Marques for sharing the new features and I hope to see more improvements like those in the future from apple.

[nathanielrogers]

As a person with a stutter, I don't think personal voice was meant for me, but I can see it being super useful for me. There are days where it is really hard for me to communicate. Personal voice would let me order food and get help when I have days where I am having lots of difficulties.

[memelogy]

When Marques said hes “old” to say stuff like that, that legit made me feel old, I have been watching you since you recorded in your small dorm room almost a decade now and I am so glad the channel and everything worked out so perfectly. Great work bud!

[krissy]

I’m really enjoying how refined and straight forward iOS is. Recently switched to a iPhone 14. Feels like I’m just getting used to the current iOS but excited for 17!

[techiejak]

something i've noticed with standby is that if you put it on a wireless charger it'll like remember the charger. i have one wireless charger on my desk and next to my bed and whenever i move from one to the other the clock changes. it like has a build in memory or something. super super cool little feature.

[masika]

The accessibility features are really nice in this update. As someone with a family member who had a stroke and finds it tough to speak, the fact that over time he could get through those sentences and then use it whenever he’s too tired to try speaking is much more personal than the current solution of texting.

[jiyagupta]

6:24 is definitely my absolute favourite ios update to date

[NIKHARCHHABHAYA]

Wow, it's incredible to see how technology has come full circle! As the CMO of the original company "Bump" that was acquired by Google in 2009, I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia watching Marques Brownlee discuss iOS 17 and its new "bump" feature for automatic file transfer. Witnessing the evolution of such innovative ideas from the past into the present is truly remarkable. Kudos to the tech world for continually pushing boundaries and making our lives easier with these advancements. Excited to see what the future holds! Keep up the great work, Marques!

I love the voice memo transcription feature in messages. Sometimes people send me 5+minute recordings and I'd rather just read them.

[Xratos]

See to me I love all phone for what they do but IMO be that most these features only apply to IPhone I love it. Android users are normally all about carrying around the PC master race in their pocket where Apple is all about engaging in the community. Having and ecosystem and utilizing it effectively and efficiently.
