The rant just sounds like Google/Android needs to clean up their own house before going to Apples house. Make Google messages the default across the board on ALL Android devices. Regardless of carrier or android version. Get 100% RCS Android adoption. Then worry about iOS+RCS. 💁🏻♂️
They need at least 1 true tech professional. For a little more technical explanation on some of this. Nothing wrong with being just a "Tech Enthusiast" but, being BOTH an enthusiast and professional would hold more weight in these episodes.
@@lvalentin91 Google cannot really get 100% adaptation of RCS on Android because of various regulatory reasons. But most of the new Android phones comes with the Google Messages app preinstalled and RCS enabled by default.
the issue I’ve seen so far has been on androids side to be honest. I can’t believe how fragmented that system is and how many android users want to hold on to their own sms system.
I'm a manager for T-Mobile and I'm the only android user, I made my entire crew update their phones to iOS 18 just so the group chat would become RCS Chat, NIGHT AND DAY difference. About time Apple.
I just want to say, the algorithm LOVES this podcast. Every. Single. Time. I watch a tech video, this podcast channel autoplays right after. Every. Single. Time.
When Ellis started talking about a correction, i thought he was gonna talk about how Andrew deserved the point for last week's trivia about the dog lmao. Considering how many people commented about it I wonder if they'll address it next week lol
He’s really gonna have to address the wallpapers app situation next episode. My take is that he launched an unfinished product and hired a 3rd party developer to make or buy the app, and didn’t do much with it so far. It was pretty obvious when I found out the developer of Panels is an LLC based in Florida.
Bought the Airpods 4 with ANC and it fits like a glove on my ears and I'm just IN LOVE with it. I do understand it's not the best ANC available but the way it fits perfectly it's just the best ever.
Hats off to the sound engineer-I'm really impressed! The attention to detail was incredible. Every time a trivia question or pop quiz popped up during the conversation, I could hear this perfect background sound building the tension.
I was not planning on upgrading my phone. But last week my iPhone 14’s battery swelled and the back glass was already cracked (who needs a case right?) so I got the 16 in TEAL. It looks awesome but tbh I wasn’t as excited to get a new phone as I expected…
Yo!!!!!! I love Courtney Victoria! Phenomenal landscape and macro. Criminally underrated and exactly the channel that first popped into my head based off of this hype thing. Good on you for making awareness here.
The way I've explained RCS to people, especially average iPhone people that are not tech people at all is that iOS 18 has RCs support which will make texting Android phones suck less and that has pretty much done the trick. Especially once they do the update and start seeing red receipts and higher quality images and stuff
1:01:57 Please do not make the Apple Watch round! You guys can stop asking for that, ok?!! Haha! Not everyone wants one that’s round - I find that shape less useful for a digital watch. Plus, I like that it feels physically more unique to have my analog watch be round and my digital watch be more square. No need to make it circular just to look like every other watch.
With regards to the Apple Watch and unintended digital crown presses, under Watch Orientation in the General settings, you can choose to put the crown on the opposite side. I do this because I found during push-ups or burpies I would constantly be pressing the crown.
The camera control is only useful for bringing up the camera quickly but if you want to use it for the camera options using the app regularly is much better
Oh David, I can't tell you how much I adore and love you. Right now I am 56 years old, soon to be 57 and you're so much younger and you're still confused by this. I feel so blessed that I don't understand Snapchat and it's not me. Thank you David
I've tried basically every popular bluetooth earbud on the market and the Airpods 4 finally work for me. I was dealing with earbuds falling out, causing my ears to itch/drain like crazy (mostly silicone tipped ones but some others as well), or both. The one earbuds before that did neither of those things was the first gen airpods, which apparently they switched the material from for successive generation supposedly? But at long last, I've found a replacement in the 4s, and they slap.
Apple Watch’s Digital Crown also dug into my wrist so flipped it around years ago and haven’t switched back. It’s also a lot easier to roll it with my thumb now. Setting -> Watch Orientation-> Digital Crown on Left Side
Currently on the XR, great phone, shot quite a few music videos with it. The iPhone 16, with USB-C, improved cameras, camera control and updated industrial design with cameras reminiscent of the iPhone X looks to be a great upgrade.
they need to have the vertical option for camera control because they want people to use the camera shortcut for the visual AI featues which aren't done at all. this phone just. shouldn't have been released yet.
About the camera control. You can modify the sensitivity and it will change the whole using of the "button". Settings-Accesibility-Camera Control then set it to "Lighter".
IT"S FRIDAY! 🕺🕺🕺 I have no dishes today, so I'm going to do my absolute best to actually finish off my iPhone 16 models instead of procrastinating on Twitter again. 😝 Then I'll actually be able to make a video about them.
Isn’t the iPhone’s camera button half-press based on the half-press of the button on the old film cameras from the 1990s? You press the physical button literally halfway to lock the view, and then press down fully to take the picture.
One correction, guys. RCS has nothing to do with EU. Virtually no one uses iMessage or SMS/RCS here. EU officials explicitly said that iMessage does not have enough users to fall under the DMA regulations.
Is there any way for you to sync/connect the video version of the podcast (TH-cam) to the audio version of the podcast (Apple podcast, Spotify, pocketcast etc.)? As an audio listener, who often has to go to TH-cam and find the specific moment I want to watch, this would be a really nice feature. Love the podcast
For those that have an issue with the Apple Watch crown on their wrist, change the orientation. I wear my watch on my left wrist with the crown in the bottom left-hand corner.
42:40 Interesting that David doesn't know what 3D means. It's literally a "touchpad" with X and Y axis'. It's 2D. One COULD argue the saturation slider is the third, but come on now :D
There’s dozens of us buying the plus. The only reason I had a 12 Pro Max was because that was the only way to get the bigger screen. While I’m sure 120hz is nice, the base iPhone experience is great IMO. I don’t care about camera crap and transfer speeds so unless there ends up being some huge differentiator on the Pro that I gotta have, I will happily stick with getting a Plus every few years.
I’m really happy that I found this podcast! And I’m really sad that every other episode is old news already. Is it worth binging if the information is already out there on the other channels?
Waaait!!! I love my Samsung Messages app! 🤣 I feel like it does have RCS already because of the read reciepts and chat bubbles. Only thing it doesn't have is the reactions. Samsung Messages is just more pretty to me. It matches the color palette I set on my phone.
As someone who always gets the color pro model, disappointed by this years desert titanium, I went with black. previous phones I had. 15 pro - blue titanium, 14 pro - deep purple, 13 pro - alpine green, 12 pro - pacific blue, 11 pro - midnight green
Really hope airpods 4 with anc fits well in my ears. Not having the silicon buds is gonna make it way more comfortable, starting not hearing your walk steps or running, chewing, etc.
I think Ellis is right. I remember my first gen APP would cut off loud or sharp noises in transparency mode like the adaptive transparency mode on APP2 does.
I got my Airpods 4 with ANC this morning, I could never get the Pro 2's to fit properly even with 3rd party smaller tips these fit decently personally i agree that yes the ANC is not as powerful but for me 90% of the time I don't actually want total silence this just takes the edge of city noise but can still hear cars coming or station announcements on the train and makes it that I don't have to blast the volume.
Do you think that non-camera related apps would take advantage from the camera control? I think it could be useful elswhere and wonder, whether if 3rd party camera apps could other 3rd party apps bypass this and use it for something.

35:43 LOL Marques is def thinking about his next team meeting lecture. "How about we stick to short questions?" (Stares at Ellis)
RCS is not enabled for MVNOs like Mint and Boost. Mint's CFO says that this is on Apple's end, they gave the primary carriers preferential treatment which I understand but sucks since we're all using the same 4 networks :(
Yeah, I'm just here to see if the Lights Work.
😂
😂😂😂 leave Ellis alone
Bingo
Likewise
@@brentspotswood Let's gooooo
David cooked there with his iMessage/RCS rant
I feel like anyone who watches waveform knows this, the rants while true needs to go to those who don’t watch this 😂

Make Google messages the default across the board on ALL Android devices. Regardless of carrier or android version. Get 100% RCS Android adoption. Then worry about iOS+RCS.

With ms 365 for business, teams is great. These guys just have way too narrow of an opinion sometimes.
Teams is not for casual use, Teams crucial for my work place

Give me that RCS PSA as a reel so I can share it.

@@dawgatemybrainthat would not get as much broad traction

The worst part of this podcast is that I finish it in one sitting and then I have to wait for another whole week
Well you can always just do anything else.
Give more per week!!!
Sad that waveform is the least popular mkbhd channel. Seems like alot of work goes into it!
More per week!!!
Exactly 😂
My week is better when I can’t do it in one sitting and get to listen to it for 3 days

Shoutout to the 3D knit correction. Thank you Beth and Ellis!
Loved how Marquez rocked out in the middle of the podcast😂
What was he listening to???
That “let him cook” building up during the iMessage speech was everything.
Please never change the music, it's literally a weekly routine to hear it
I’ll never get tired of David saying “And I’m David!”
"Do it and don't tell them" Is sometimes how I deal with my family/friends tech...
Marques bopping to beeps and boops is the best part of this video
Nice alliteration

Does your store have a lot in stock of the maxes?
@@MatrixEdit unfortunately no, our entire region didn't receive any. All ship to at the moment

I thought the same! 😅
I cannot wait for the next episode.
Me too
It’s out but not on YT, didn’t seem to address price at alll

Just Finished Work In Ireland! Time to listen to waveform and wash the dishes! Cheers!
Also Andrew is right. That's what I do for my mom. I just take her phone update stuff. Give it back to her and then she doesn't really worry about it.
Bought the Airpods 4 with ANC and it fits like a glove on my ears and I'm just IN LOVE with it. I do understand it's not the best ANC available but the way it fits perfectly it's just the best ever.

26:01 ngl Marquez dancing is a vybe 😂
The disclaimer for the AT&T ad is wild and I feel like someone laughed during the Apple Intelligence part.
Not a dollar per snap. Because it’s daily users vs yearly income. It’s $1/365 per snap.
Yeah I was like how are they making that much money lol
So when people spam snaps they make hellas
I was not planning on upgrading my phone. But last week my iPhone 14’s battery swelled and the back glass was already cracked (who needs a case right?) so I got the 16 in TEAL. It looks awesome but tbh I wasn’t as excited to get a new phone as I expected…
That's a safety issue and Apple should repair it for free.
We are running into the weekend in the UK, guys and of course, it's the Waveform :) Congrats on the 250th eps
Banger of a podcast this week guys! Absolutely loved how long it was perfect background noise for a workday.
Congrats on 250! 🎉 Thanks for making Fridays even better. 😊
David should get back to saying "Bingo" at the end of the show 😂
If he doesn’t start up again I’m ending my viewership lol
“Snap Shades” would be a better name for those spectacles.
lol that Paper purse > Airpods max purse moment

HI Marques, this is from someone 5 days into the future.
Don't back the "super dislike" feature. It might backfire big time.
250th episodes!
