Dieter: writes with terrible handwriting
Also dieter: as you can see it didn’t get my handwriting quite right..

[joeyscerbo]

Ya know, Scribble is actually a very good feature if your handwriting can’t be accurately described as a scribble

[connerobrien]

*Writes anyeuh* 
"It's handwriting recognition isn't the best..."

[pruett]

Dieter seems like really genuine person and you can tell how much he loves tech and his job talking about it. Thanks for giving all us tech lovers a place to feel at home!

What I've learnt today: Dieter has really terrible handwriting and can speak some spanish

[ankleguts]

“You probably shouldn’t install a beta on your main device” me: does it every year

[Cadet]

I have been on beta for the last 5 years. I have never been on the standard version. Just do it and jump into the deep end.

[Curious_minds]

Were you a doctor before you start working with Verge because that handwriting is even difficult for humans to understand so how would a machine understand it. Lol

[paojimeno]

2:22 you literally wrote “Anyhere”; also “not accurate”

[ClarenceGSKS]

Love how almost every YouTuber says "You should never put a beta on your main phone". Y'all assuming I got more than one phone at the same time?

[calebmiguel]

Just wanna take this time to say I absolutely love Dieter ❤️

[romangreathouse]

I don't see the beta anywhere online....

[guilhermesalles]

"It didn't get my handwriting exactly right" sir, you should fix this terrible handwriting first, because even me, a human being, couldn't get it too.

[yusufsuhanbozkurt]

it says that the public beta “is coming soon” on the beta program website, is it because of timezone differences?

[roshangeorge]

I just love how Dieter seamlessly glides through all his content for the video. GREAT WORK VERGE TEAM!

[smoll.miniatures]

Omg the alarm time picker.... I literally can’t believe it’s taken this long. I have been waiting for this for 10 years!

[pamkoakes]

I’m using the dev beta on my daily driver and love it. No re-springs and no issues with apps I use. Now in dev beta 2 which is the public beta, the few bugs I did encounter are fixed with the exception of the double and triple back tap which is still too sensitive. I can’t believe all the great stuff we got this year!! More than any year in a long time, maybe ever.

iOS 14 looks very impressive! Can't wait.

Dieter, your thoughtful and succinct presentation is greatly appreciated, — very information rich. Photo Captions, finally. Everyday I search photos and either give up looking, or go to the iMac Photos and invest hours backfilling keywords so I’ll be able to find things in the future. Captions is a much needed addition. Great job.
