I won’t be getting Apple intelligence on my iPad or iPhone so I’m glad I’ll be able to play with it on my Mac. It’ll give me a good idea if it’s something worth upgrading for or if I can just use my Mac when I need it.
iCloud tabs are such a mess in Sequoia/iOS 18. It was one of the best features. "Safari cloud syncing is a giant mess on iOS 18 and Sequoia. Nothing is working right. Cloud tabs are not updating properly on other devices, either showing old (closed) tabs or not showing new tabs. Closing a tab on another device doesn't work at all on any device."
I'm all for upgrades, but I'd rather Apple keep an OS around for a while and improve upon it, rather than releasing new OSes at a dizzying pace (and leaving my not-so-old hardware behind, rendering it obsolete in the eyes of many). Thus, I'm a big fan of Dortania's Open Core Legacy Patcher.
Nice video, very handy to get introduced to some new features. One thing thought, it's still kinda baffling Apple is SO late to the game with the window tiling options. I mean, I used that on Windows Vista as a kid... 😅 And honestly, it still works better Apple's new version. In Windows, the only thing you have to do is grap the window and drag it to a side or corner and it will snap and resize. Apple's way needs more steps and needs 'precision', since you have to stand on the green dot. Then you wait and then click the right option. It should just be an easy 'drag and drop'. Their first attempt (forgot which OS version it was) was just horrible because it would full(half)screen the app and kinda force you to instantly add a second one to the other side of the screen. But this new version is still not what it should be: a quick drag and drop. I think more than 10 years ago now, I solved this problem by just using BetterTouchTool. I use it to give my Magic mouse more functionality by adding gestures, but it also has the window snapping built in. Anyway, long story short: try BTT, you might like it too! 😊
"In Windows, the only thing you have to do is grap the window and drag it to a side or corner and it will snap and resize." Have you actually tried the new version? Because what you are describing is actually what you can do now.
CAUTION: Sequoia 15.1 is known to cause Bluetooth devices to periodically malfunction or to not work at all. So far, no one seems to know why or how to fix the problem. For some people their wireless mouse periodically stops functioning. For others it's bluetooth headphones. For me it's my brand new Bose speaker (which worked perfectly until I upgraded to Sequoia. It's not that the devices won't connect. They'll connect just fine. The problem is, they just won't work even though they're connected.
I noticed that nobody mentions and more importantly do not complain about the fact that with Sequoia iphone mirroring you can not control the iphone camera!
@@Great1G its still not for remote access when your laptop is sleeping. It has to be on all the time. Apple should do a native solution where you can have wake-on-LAN
The browser thing is not so much “AI” as simple html. But sure…let’s call it ”AI”. Cause everything is AI nowadays. So might as well make some money out of it.
The new tile feature is worse than the old way to me. The old way filled the screen(and second monitor screen) completely. As on mine and yours @9:40 the new tile leaves gaps around the borders and edges. Ugly looking.

Great job Jeff, You always come through with these vids with a calm voice and easy to follow instructions.
BRING BACK SPACES! Spaces > Mission Control. Single monitor efficiency and productivity was off the charts.
Virtual desktops?
Excellent video! Thanks for the review and walk through.
Thank you for posting this video

Can you screenshot with your iPhone while in iPhone mirroring?
Command Shift 5
Yep, just tried that..
I am upgrading my MacBook to a Mac mini from a 2019. MacBook Air can’t wait.
Wow, that's going to be one MAJOR update.
Haha this is my current plan but I’m making the leap all the way from 2015 with my aging MacBook Pro.
@@9to5Macit sure is and because my MacBook cannot update to the current macOS software
@@radmaxwow
How do you get the AI icon in the menu bar? I have MacBook Air M2, and I dont see it. AI is enabled too.

Why my mac m1 doesn't have apple intellegence even after upgrading to sequoia?
is it possible to do migration from old OS X EI Capitan (version10.11.6) to OS SEQUOIA 15.1 ?
Camera quality on mac has gone super grainy after updating
In Mac OS 15.1 Apple no longer allows their users to install software on their computers without getting it signed and approved by Apple first.

Does it still have any issues with attaching hard drives via USB?
What issues do you have attaching them?
@yeahthatkornel I haven't installed Sequoia yet, but read that people had issues where their external hard drives couldn't be mounted.
@joshualebowitz i don't have any problems with mounting external HDDs and I have 2 of them.
@ Excellent. Thank you.
We all want our iPad Pros to access our Macs remotely, they did the opposite for some reason.
there is an app for that: Screens

For the love of god let us resize the iPhone when using continuity!
Apple Intelligence? Mirror my phone's screen from the Mac? Awesome. Now let me continue crying in a German manner.

you can turn that off in settings. in desktop and dock, turn off "tiled windows have margins"
Sequoia? Like Toyota?
