iPhone Mirroing is so useful and it’s the reason I installed the beta. Surprisingly I don’t really use window snapping a lot but I just got a MacBook Air so maybe I’ll use it more on there.
You have your setup on the description but not your camera, is it possible to know which one do you use, the video quality is amazing on this video, keep it up!
Definitely. iPhone mirroring just for the notifications alone I've found super helpful in the short time I've been playing with it. Really looking forward to when this stuff is fleshed out a little more
Excellent video, Kyle. Really looking forward to regular public release in the fall. Great features. Remember when Mac OSX upgrades cost $129 and on disk? I'm old as dirt.
07:00 I think it's a bad idea - if Apple blocks/deletes your Apple ID, all access to your passwords and passkeys is gone. (Make no mistake: This has happened - when people have hacked into your ID, resulting in the ID being permanently blocked). Better use a third-party service that is not tied to your Apple ID.
Interesting that with Windows 11 (24H2 IIRC) Microsoft is putting away WordPad and “suggesting” that you buy Word if you want some rich text editing tool. (Or, I add, maybe install Libre Office or similar.) Meanwhile, Apple adds more functionality and flexibility to Notes, which I’m using more and more. When you want to move beyond the bounds of Notes functionality, you can open in Pages, or print to PDF. This is why I’m only using Windows at work now, and MacOS all the way for my personal computing.
My number one feature in MacOS 15 is tiling windows ( what us Linux folks call snapping ) as it's what I need vs. the over complicated little utils. I wish they'd sherlock Ice like functionality so as to hide the HUGE amount of icons on the menu bar, it gets just to cluttered and I dislike how they end up behind the notch when not plugged into a dock w/ a monitor.
Sequoia is Good but it needs a lot of bug fixes as the most bugs are happening from privacy and security, major bug is screen sharing specially in Safari where it just blurs out the shared screen and I have to grant permission each time for other apps to share my screen
RE: window snapping. Agreed that apple for who knows why has been so primitive about implementing this. Now that they will, I wonder if it will be up to par with the 3rd party options like rectangle or magnet. I've found that I don't care much about native tiling with options like Rectangle, and worry that Sequoia will mess this up.
very much so on the fence about buy an M3 pro MacBook Pro now for my MBA program that starts in September or waiting until I am a few months into school and waiting for the M4 MacBooks to come out. any thoughts on this as it seems like the jump from M3 to M4 seems like it a decent one.
Did you get to try out the new predictive code completion in Xcode beta? Do you like it or predict having a real use for it? Also Apple confirmed this feature will require 16GB unified memory. Do you think this means programming on 8GB is over? (I remember you quite enjoyed the base 15" M2 Air even for iOS projects).
I haven't tried it yet, but I'd expect you'll still be able to code, just maybe not with the advanced on-device AI stuff. Maybe this is what pushed Apple to start devices off at a higher RAM level (I've heard future devices could start at 12GB, but who knows)
The snap feature on Sequoia is not perfect. Firstly, when you snap it to the top to expand the window to full screen, you first have to hold down option button to even get the... option to expand the app full-screen. With Magnet you just push the entire window to the top and it full-screen's the app (without switching to full-full screen). When you do hold down option, the built in feature expands it *underneath* the dock! Like, I don't want my windows under my dock! C'mon Apple. Therefore, still going to use Magnet for now.
no one talks about how this is the worst update in years... Apple Intelligence (Only in USA and in english, whenever it comes out) iPhone Mirroring (maybe of some use to some people) Window Tiling (just sad macos didn't have this before) Video Calling (nothing special) Calculator (maybe of some use) Safari (Only if the OS is in english) Passwords (it's fine) Messages (no one uses this outside USA) Maps (no one uses this, even less outside USA) Notes (nothing special) AirPods (I like this update) Gaming (Ok if you play on the mac)
iPhone already syncs everything you could possibly need from your phone to your Mac and iPad. Mirroring the iPhone on the Mac is pointless. What a useless feature to add.
Just a minor note, I meant to say "a couple ROUNDS of beta versions", not months 🤦♂ I can't see into the future.....yet
Haha seamless omission - great video!
The password manager working across all Apple OSs and Windows will be worth its weight in gold at our home.
at 2:32, if you are in an app, that button that does "nothing" it can bring you back into the home screen (im pretty sure)
Thanks for a look at some of the new features in Sequoia.
I have recently subscribed to your channel, your work is by far better than 95% of other CZcamsrs.
love your content and Thumbnails.
Thanks so much!
Video Production and Quality of content deserves millions of subscribers :)

Thanks for another great video. Excellent overview of new features!!!
glad to see a fellow Illenium fan
Thanks for the feature overview Kyle. This OS upgrade is adding more interesting stuff than prior releases so I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks Kyle, very helpful.

5:09 we also want native BitTorrent support in MacOS and AiOS 18 for backing up and archiving on personal iCloud
2:20 I would this mirroring feature for my headless Mac mini to show on my iPad Pro.
Thanks for a detail recap!
Did the finally add DIARY for macOS?

No matter what password manager you use, you need to have an offline copy in a safe or bank deposit box.

I’m personally looking forward to the iPhone mirroring feature.

How does phone mirroring behave when it requires Face ID to access some app or verify identity?
Rifle mirroring is not working on my 2019 iMac for some reason

Awesome wallpaper on your phone. Where did you get that?
part of my wallpaper pack
I would go crazy with the iPhone mirroring 😌 will it be mirror between apple devices only? I did not install the beta.
yes

now its possible to use iphone as a webcam while doing iphone mirroring at the same time???
nice, clean video
Nice !!
Are there any bugs both on iOS 18 and MacOs Sequoia ?
tons, but they are both on early developer betas, so that's to be expected.
iphone mirroring is awesome..
Huawei had it 2 years ago and it's better.
Sometimes I like to move windows around while working on different apps, would that make the window resize/snapping ?
you can choose if snapping should be activated by holding an extra key or not while dragging the window.
what happening with scroll in iphone mirroring? its just me?
12:16 the main feature I need is analyzing my 100k email to help clean out my mailboxes .

How to get it? I am on Sonamo :(

I was so exited for iPhone mirroring but I was so let down when it said "this is not available in your region" like bro why have it be visible then
Macos sequia ram requirements
Me, an American, furiously googling "Time in Scandinavia".

It’s making me re-enter my password so many times
02:04 "not available in your country or region"

I can bet this…every single reviewer on CZcams gnna mention how breakthrough this feature is😬😹
You dont get the point, its about the apps you can open now on your mac an navigate through the mac. This is a game changing feature
