I was excited for Genmoji, but knowing that the emojis save to your stickers is just a little disappointing. Mainly because I really like organization, and the stickers tab isn’t very organized to me if I am being honest. I wish there were different folders you could make with the stickers tab.
I’m on the fence about most of these features, but happy to be having them within the apple ecosystem without having to hand over all my data to a third party, and I expect once I’ve got them I’ll be using them plenty. 😊

Thanks for pushing out a video so fast. Looks fun to use. I wonder why news media has been so negative on apple intelligence. I feel like apple intelligence will get be really popular.
I have the same question. Like is this a cut-off between 15pro and 16pro. (It's bound to happen at some point, but I would be surprised if it came in this quick)
Hey Brian, love your content. Quick question, how long did it take for you to get access to Image Playground? I noticed all the TH-camrs got access... I find that suspicious. LOL. I'm currently stuck at "Early Access Requested".
Brian can you please tell me if download public beta and i live in canada 🇨🇦 ,,will i have the flashing lights around the bezzels when i activate siri ?
What I like about Imagine Playground and Genmoji is that it is completely free. Though I do hope in the future they explore more on this software where you can make even larger images. Since for Playground, adding yourself always gives the same portrait type look. Which to me, would get boring pretty quickly. So there's a limit to creativity compared to the likes of ChatGPT's image generation. Maybe adding a description would change that a little but I haven't tried that since I don't download betas. Furthermore, Playground doesn't let you generate images that include people. Sounds ironic when you can get something for yourself. Example of this was another TH-camr, showing how image generation worked, drew a house and a stickman next to it. Apple Intelligence would only generate the house and no person. When he described for there to be a person, it wouldn't do it.
I don't think that these Genmoji's and Image Playground run in Apple's Private Cloud Compute. It is done on-device. PCC does not host the Apple Intelligence diffusion model.
I’ve noticed a bug since the iOS 18. When you pinch and zoom on a video, the slider is off alignment and you are unable to scrub forward or backward. 🤬
my m1 MacBook Pro is stuck on a loading page when trying to download 15.2 de beta. should I just keep being patient?? is this loading back and fourth just the software downloading?? or pulling from a server? or both? anybody smarter than me know??
Just a random question…. Have you ever mentioned which usb c cables you find the best to use? Just curious. I love usb c, but find it quite confusing also.
I don’t see any of that on my iPad Pro M1 in mail. I have a little option to show Priority but nothing else really work. Isn’t the iPad mail app on the same level as the iOS one yet?
I really have a hard time understanding the point of image playground… I was hoping they would do something more similar to the AI tools available with Canva
Wow. Thank you for this video! I love how visual intelligence has a couple different options . Via chat gpt, Google . I’m actually excited camera control has more to it than just taking pictures / videos . I LOVE how Apple has been able to implement chat gpt and all its AI thru out the system . The only feature that has an app of its own it’s image playground but everything else is integrated very well in the system . I get this is just a beta and it’s not as good as it’ll get but I’m liking it!! At first I didn’t care for AI but watching this has me excited now 🎉 Also , in a different video I seen you can go to siri in your settings to turn off the “use chat gpt “ question . And now when u ask Siri something it’ll pull from which ever source is better without asking if u want to use it or not . I find it very nice. It’ll get you whatever you asked without tapping on the screen again
I scanned your last dance cover and it said it was available on netflix. I asked for a link and it gave me a clickable link that opened netflix app to the show. That's impressive.
Thanks for your reviews I find them so informative. Also thanks for your recommendation of ESR case . Just got it ! It’s a wonderful case!! I got the screen protector too.
Seems Siri has completely stopped working since I got 18.2 :( Its glows across the screen, but doesn't stay glowing around the edges, and doesn't do anything
I think chat gpt and apple intelligence is so cool I’ve used the righting tool on my text messages I’m still waiting for image playground to be roll out to me it’s taking a long time it’s saying access requested but I found it so useful
I got 18.2 but none of these are features are available for me to use. I am from Australia. Do we need to enable them somewhere in the settings? I have apple intelligence enabled on English (AU) since 18.1.
as a neurodivergent person who has to send a bunch of messages and emails to colleagues, the rewriting thing is something i'm really looking forward to to help with social cues and just sending a more appropriate response
Hi Brian - I am a big fan and been following you since your CNET days. I have a pet peeve with Apple News+ that I am hoping you can share on your channel - I pay for Apple one incl Apple News + but still have to put up with ads on the news articles. Why? Seems hypocritical that Apple takes the privacy high ground but will serve ads that I will NEVER click on … not sure if you will pick this up, if you do - pl give Apple a bad apple on my behalf!
So errrr, from this video Apple Intelligence is not needed and I can just get a used iphone 15 plus on the cheap and be fine for the next few years without Apple Intelligence. By the time I will get ready to upgrade in 2-3 years in 2026 - 2027, Apple Intelligence should be a fully working and, actually useful.
16:49 If you connect your ChatGPT account, you are bound by their privacy policy, not Apple’s. So they can track everything you do on the device with their service.
Great video, Brian. Like you, I don’t think the image stuff will be that useful for me, but the integration with Chat GPT, and also as you say at the end, where Apple Intelligence can go in the future is exciting.
Image creation looks like same old MEH. As for Chat GPT - once it is integrated as you described, that will be useful. For now this seems like a lot of clicks and something you can just do in the app. Thanks for sharing. I think we knew Apple was way behind the curve already.
This video provides a detailed walkthrough of iOS 18.2, but it lacks depth in critical analysis and glosses over potential issues. While the introduction of features like Genmoji and ChatGPT integration is fun, the video doesn’t address their limitations or real-world effectiveness-e.g., how the generative AI can produce inaccurate outputs or that Siri integration remains inconsistent. Additionally, it feels more like a promotional piece, lacking transparency about potential privacy concerns and the beta’s instability. To improve, the video should offer a balanced evaluation of pros, cons, and user feedback to provide a more honest and complete review.
Who’s still on the waiting list?
All the non influencers are herw
I still am even after the update.
I’m still waiting for the uk to get it
Ahhh why did I watch this video I was going to get off betas after 18.1 now I want 18.2
Nah same 😭

did you can create image backgrounds with siri ? Like google Gemini or chat gpt ?
How I redownload it, if I deleted it by accident?
How long did it take you to get approved for Image playground
This was really well done, thank-you Brian
Thanks for watching! Just went in on it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Waiting to get the playground enabled. This looks sick
Hey, what do I do? I accidentally deleted Apple playground and I can’t find it in the App Store or anywhere else else.
Pretty sure you have to wipe and restore or wait for 18.2 beta 2
@@RichardServello dang I tried that it’s not allowing me to restore
Choose a person only as one image in of me. I can’t figure out how to add more people very confused.
Does the created images in image playground turn into emojis or stickers?
I just installed the 18.2 public beta but the long press on the camera button doesn’t launch the visual intelligence.
Thanks for pushing out a video so fast. Looks fun to use. I wonder why news media has been so negative on apple intelligence. I feel like apple intelligence will get be really popular.
Does visual intelligence work by opening the camera app on the 15 pro?
I have the same question. Like is this a cut-off between 15pro and 16pro. (It's bound to happen at some point, but I would be surprised if it came in this quick)

Do you have to have a chat gpt account
Hey Brian, love your content. Quick question, how long did it take for you to get access to Image Playground? I noticed all the TH-camrs got access... I find that suspicious. LOL. I'm currently stuck at "Early Access Requested".
I downloaded it right when it came out and asked for access so I must have beaten the backlog. I didn't do anything special or get special access.
My playground app still pending for access, what should I do to make it work?
You have to wait until Apple gives you access. May take awhile
I got it at 10:05 AM so that might have helped me.
I’ve been waiting like 7 hours already
@@seanlacroixsame here, it’s been a few hours since I requested and still no access

How long did it take you all to get into visual generation like get approved for Gemoji and stuff
Same question here.
I think I was lucky because I did it right when it was available. That's the only reason I can think of. I didn't do anything special.
I’ve been waiting seven hours. No luck yet.
Why isn’t Apple Intelligence coming to Apple TV or the HomePods?
So no visual intelligence for iphone15pro/max?

Been on waiting list 4 ever
Air genmoji right from d day of download of 18.2 beta 1 - it is showing y will be notified
2. Do y hv any solutions for this & playground
Does Siri speaks the answers when you say some prompts that it passes to ChatGPT?
I don't think that these Genmoji's and Image Playground run in Apple's Private Cloud Compute. It is done on-device. PCC does not host the Apple Intelligence diffusion model.
I’ve noticed a bug since the iOS 18. When you pinch and zoom on a video, the slider is off alignment and you are unable to scrub forward or backward. 🤬
Can Siri speak the answer that it receives from ChatGPT? That seems to be missing.
I wonder if Apple is sending prompts pre-tokenized or if it's sending plain text. It would be awesome if it's only sending tokens.
The best in depth video of this I’ve seen. Thank you 😊

early access requested ?? why
Looks great. Maybe time for an upgrade?
how come you have an image playground and others don't
A lot of cool stuff, very well integrated in the system.
When do you think all of us who requested access will see it? It has been over 24 hours for me.
Does it have to be cartoon like ?
Visual intelligence needs translation built in which I expected they would. That would be more useful especially for travelling
For the image playground, I have been waiting for almost 13 hours! Still no access.

Why are there blank spots on the list of emojis?
So is this Siri 2.0 or not yet?

@ for how long
I am not seeing any of the features on my phone. I upgraded to 18.2 Beta today.
I still have not gotten approved for gen moji SMH
I’m on the waiting list for the playground app 😢
Why does all of this not appeal to me?
Features have different values for each individual. You have to find out what can add value to you.
i know right lol
Because it’s adolescent, meaningless drivel for the cognitively impaired individual with no connection to reality.
Great step forward in a uniquely Apple way. It will make AI approachable for the masses.

Can you build off conversations that used ChatGPT? For example

2) change the salad for another appetizer
Just like writing tools now using ChatGPT and having prompted editing on device. I think image generation will also mature.
