I am excited about the new features! However, there is one improvement that I wish Apple would've made to messages: the ability to add and remove people from group texts without having to create a whole new group text!

This is GREAT 👍 I hope you'll publish a refresher version in the fall when ios 18 comes out.

Gamechanger the integration between Calendar and Reminders

[mattcwatson]

It’s about time Apple integrated Reminders and Calendar. Been waiting a minute for that to happen.

Love how clear and easy to understand these videos are 👏🏼

I don’t understand why your videos are not higher in my search. I find them more calm and precise than most comparable videos.

You’re such a wonderful presenter of technical information. I’m a seasoned Mac user (30+ years) but your unpatronising explanations are probably the best on YouTube. I’m surprised you’ve not been snapped up by a large media company or even Apple Europe. Thanks for all your hard work behind the scenes and testing the beta models. I tried using beta version years ago, but they just interfered with workflow and my Apple ecosystem. Thanks again you ‘talented human being’. Si ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for making this, I was so interested in the reminders/calendar Integration, and couldn’t Find any details on it!

[shawnschwoyer]

Finally, the ability to schedule a text! Can’t wait to use that feature. Thank you for the great content.

[waynebrimhall]

Thank You, I like your clear and concise descriptions of the new features.

[andrewmcconville]

Always enjoy your vids. You have one tidy room dude!

[nucrews]

I always mean to watch these videos, but yours are the only ones I do. Cheers!

I seriously can’t wait for IOS 18. Although some of these features have been on Android for years, they will be a welcome addition to IOS.

[Ivo]

Again, a great display of what a tech video on YouTube should be like, imo. You tell it well, concise and knowledgable. Thank you.
A feature that I was hoping would come in IOS 18 was the possibility to clean up camera roll better. I am always over my iCloud limit and I am having a hard time finding the largest files, the double files and the already backupped files. I can delete an image in my Photo's app, but it will not give me iCloud space back.

In messages the plus sign (where you add pictures n such) should 100% have a “contacts” option. Drives me crazy to have to leave messages, find the contact, then send it from there instead of just quickly adding it like any other attachment

[NewCastleIndiana]

I am most interested in being able to create routes in maps. Share them save them bring them up maybe modify them. I’d also like the ability to know which roads are unpaved. Does iOS 18 offer any of these abilities?

[evelyneshun]

You are a master communicator, thank you for taking the time to explain in a way that makes learning fun and easy ..I agree with the comment below that you should be snapped up by a large media company, but then, you would not be here for us ;) keep up the great work !

[daz]

Face ID for individual apps at last 🙏🏼 I literally have my life, bank details and shoe size written in my notes. With the amount of phone snatching here on London’s streets this is very useful for extra security in the event your phone is snatched.

[kyleh]

Honestly like your videos. You always cover things that are useful. 👍

By far and away the best of these ten features for me is the integration of Calendars with Reminders. This will allow me to view my Reminders in a calendar format which is the one thing that currently can't be done in Reminders and it drives me nuts. Thank you Apple.
