Apple Intelligence on the Mac just hits different. Loving it so far & can't wait for 15.2!

I’ll be honest, I don’t have an Apple computer but you make me want a Macbook Pro, instead of just an iPad Pro alone.

What a labor of love! Thank you for this really informative video. I loved the examples. Pacing was great. I stopped and started it to train myself as I went along.

I authored a number of technical articles in my career. In my opinion, AI writing tools are contributing to the dumbing down of students learning to compose and the decline of writing skills across the board. Learning to use proper grammar and the ability to compose a message that the intended audience will receive and be receptive is going to be a lost art.

So excited for the next year of updates!

I love the update, Brandon. Apple AI and writing tools are great.😊

Thanks! I was waiting for this! I won’t get a brew iPhone until next year, but I have a M1 MacBook.

Having been away from the latest operating system, I believe it was Yosemite, for my previous iMac. However, I did not dedicate sufficient time to comprehending the Mac OS. I regret not investing more time in understanding its intricacies. Having made the decision to return, I have been conducting extensive research on the operating system from various perspectives using all my current devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPad 13” M4 Pro. The final steps include acquiring a new mini and Studio Display. The operating system is visually stunning. After conducting thorough research and joining several Patreon feeds dedicated to Macs, I am firmly convinced that Macs and Apple are significantly ahead of their competitors.

Great summary as usual! Can now update my MacBook Air M1 to Sequoia .
