another great video, thanks. Congrats to both of you on the arrival of your twins. Life will NEVER be the same again..

I love how clear and concise ALL your videos are! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all. Sending you love 🤍🤍🤍

Sonoma (and the new iOS) can now look at a picture of a finished dish, and call up recipes to make it! I tried that with a pic of my lunch yesterday (a stir-fry that I just kinda made up) and it came up with four beef and one chicken recipes that were very, very close to what I made. Amazing!

This video is the best I've watched on Sonoma . Tim speaks much more clearly and a little slower than some so this oldie can follow better. I must say I am upset though because the little emoji on my Home Screen has become much smaller and is no longer animated . Wish there was a way to restore it .

Wallpapers and screensavers looks nice, but to be honest most of other new features are as usefull as single chopstick.

I’d like to see #tags being common across all apps (Reminders, Notes, Files) and of course devices.

[DannyBridie]

unrelated, & I think I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU for keeping your intro's short, sweet & right to the point! 🤍

love the widgets. I saves me from having 3 or 4 full apps open clogging up my screen, my mind, my life

[gillisjack]

Thank you. I really appreciate this type of video, as I am not one to go through all the settings to see which does what in a new version, or even which ones are indeed new. This saved me a lot of time. Adding widgets was the one for which I paused the video and updated on the fly. The web app and profiles are interesting and I'll investigate those more soon.

Widgets aren't exactly new, but that's Apple marketing for you 😉We had them back in 2005 with OSX Tiger, access to small, single-purpose applications that could display information like weather forecasts, stock prices, and more with a simple keystroke or mouse click. It was a part of the Mac OS X operating system until macOS Catalina (version 10.15), when it was officially deprecated and replaced by the Notification Center widgets in 2019. Great video - thanks.

Useful and informative as always. Sad that changes in this version are so small.

[lovebugpuppy]

Thank you very much for calmly & easily explaining things. You are soothing to listen to, & I always learn something new. As avid Apple users, you have helped expand how we use our devices. 😊 Thank you

I found this extremely useful. Many thanks for taking the time to create the video, and share it with fellow Mac users.

[billlatronica]

I think you inherited all the Apple information coverage from Rene Ritchie, now that he has moved to Google. You are definitely the best YouTuber covering  and how all their apps on the platforms work! Thank you for another informative video.

Widgets on the desktop is all I’ve wanted out of MacOS for years now 🎉

[Moneygnolove]

Im so happy and excited for the new os update sonoma is such a huge upgrade i luv all the effects and add ons such a beautiful software update i luv widgets so helpful

[jasonblankenship]

Thank You for making this video. I was wondering what, if anything, about sonoma would be worth 'upgrading to'. I can now confidently stay with Monterey for a little while longer.

One small thing nobody is talking about -> open mail app and if you received some file (like *.pdf) and drag it to desktop -> it will have a small letter icon after the name, if you click this icon -> it will open the letter, from where you dragged it

[ernestochaveznuno]

I ❤your english pronunciation, it makes, to a non natural english speaker, so easy to understand what you are saying 👍🙏. Uk? Anyway, congratulations my friend. New subscriber here. 👍 Thanks for your work 🙏

[JasonJhu]

I have watched 8-10 videos about Sonoma introducing, but personally, I think this video is best for me. It is clear and useful, I learned a lot of tips from you, thank you,
