I got Apple Intelligence after about an hour after joining the waitlist

[AbeMcPompous]

I can use call recording for my wife when she says I didn’t tell her anything.

[RirtyDascal]

I could *NOT* be happier, now that they've added native call recording. I have been searching for an app to do just that for years, and all of them suck. One of the *BIG* things that made me miss my Galaxy Note so much.

I got apple Intelligence about 5 minutes after updating and joining the waitlist

[unclebrew]

Strangely it’s made my iPhone 15 pro extremely smooth

This is so a good update and i feel lucky to have an iphone 15 pro, thanks for reviewing this

[henryfreeman]

Thanks for the video! Hoping you will make a video on Mac OS 15.1 beta 1 soon

[Devilninja]

That Siri border also shows up on CarPlay. It looks pretty awesome.

[lifeasaunie]

Great video! I can’t wait for this update in the Fall. 😊

Hi Aaron, I was able to get Type to Siri working by restarting my iPhone.

[RaghavVijay]

Awesome Aaron, definitely great to see apple intelligence release with this new update, hopefully more of the features come for this AI, though it’s definitely confusing with what’s supported and where. Otherwise thanks Aaron, Keep up the high quality content!

[Jimytechbr]

Congratulations on the channel too my friend I also like the wallpapers you use and leave the link to share, thank you very much for the wallpapers

[raymondnelson]

If you reboot the device you get the type to Siri without the accessibility way.

[techyguye]

i got apple intelligence like 15 minutes after lmao i was surprised i got it so fast

[rosestines]

Great video Aaron I just hope that this gets better when comes out September for the public version or whenever they decide they get ready for the new seri version ❤😊

[mrjeffwithaG]

Excellent. Thank you for going in-depth to show how to (try to) activate some of the new features. Excellent! Thank you for providing a detailed explanation of how to activate some of the new features.

[Leon_PlaysStation]

That animation at the beginning of the video was fire amazing OMG 🔥 🔥

[LanceCorporal_Waffles]

That is a gorgeous wallpaper. I thought it was part of iOS18. I'm glad I was able to find it through your link!

[aquarianking]

Must be nice, & it’s very unfortunate I have to upgrade again just to get new features!!!

[Banana_Knight]

So, call recording itself will not be on any device that doesn’t support AI or just not for notes transcriptions?
