As a primarily android user This is the iOS update I have been waiting for for years!

I am beyond hyped for satellite messaging. As someone who works in rural areas a lot… and a grandmother that doesn’t have service at her house, only WiFi. This is freaking amazing. No more driving 30 min to find service to send an update and if my grandmothers power goes out she can step out on the porch and text me that she is okay. Awesome. Is this something android counterparts have been doing or is this an Apple first? Yes… i know satellite phones exist… but not in this sense. Free (Assuming it’s free anyway), and built into a smartphone.

Excellent video, Tim. You do a great job of giving examples of the changes. Thanks.

FINALLY, we’ve wanted more customization with iPhone for YEARS and we are finally getting it. I haven’t been this excited for an iOS release since dark mode was announced.

Shout out for being the first to mention RCS! I’ve been looking at all major reviews and no one touched on RCS

FINALLY! I might be able to use Apple again lol

[benlaine]

Scheduling text messages is a small but much needed feature!

I'm super excited for the new siri

You have to hand it to Apple for their hard work. I know the features might be available in other devices but the way Apple tries to deliver a polished experience is highly appreciated. Tim, your presentation was wonderful. I really liked the spontaneous way you explained the new features. Thanks :)

hopefully they will make the customized tinted app shading change or update with automated focus modes... so at night my tint will change with the wallpaper thats tied to a specific focus mode...

Im happy for Apple users. Finally they get some stuff us Android users have experience for years. Maybe not all the stuff but Apple is getting there. Better late than never 😊

[JJPurp]

I’ll wait to upgrade. Let them cook it a little longer after the release.

[Conannnnn]

Can't wait to try it with the AI.

About time IOS finally caught up with Android 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥😉✌🏿

[NedalHanna]

Back to being the first with those new software updates videos... Been a while :)

[paulthomas]

Yep, there are a few bugs. The battery life is quite crap! And location services you can’t turn on or off. I like the fact that you’ve got a power option in the control centre at the top and the like how they’ve made the control centre more customisable not too keen on the customisable icons due to you can’t change the folder icon or the size of the folder like you can on android you can have different themes as well. What do you think?

[edgartokman]

They should keep like that thats as good as it gets

[nickuvarov]

What about the stability of the hotspot? It used to contantly disconnect from my car.s24 ultra works fine.
