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 just cringe thinking how embarrassed the Max team was when they realized all they were doing was adding USB-C and changing up the colors. Not even the H2 chip. 💀
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.
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.
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.
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…
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
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 :(
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
Regarding the iOS updates, they are no longer automatic for full number updates (17 to 18). You have to manually go into your settings. This is because of how many issues people would have with their apps that didn't prepare for the update (specifically apps needed for jobs)
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.
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.
Thank you for the update on band and thanks Beth for teaching us all. Ultimately weaving was a precursor to our modern computing world. And it happens to protect us and keep us alive. Ya know.
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.
Hype feature is like a super selective like button. Like you can like every single video on the platform, but you can never hype every video on the platform. You have to be selective
I know that I’m being pedantic, but you can’t record pro res footage to a Thunderbolt drive, it has to be non-Thunderbolt. If you plug in a Thunderbolt drive, it will give you an error that Thunderbolt devices aren’t supported.
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.
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.
Apple should either just bring the iPhone mini back or ditch the Plus model and simplifying the iPhone lineup: standard, Pro, Max/Ultra. But I really think they should bring the mini back or at least its form factor. Because not only did the 13 mini got lots of love than the Plus model but to me, I think making a modern smartphone small and compact? I can say that is actually innovation.
“If they made a colorful Pro phone, no one would buy it.” *raises hand* Times are just too difficult and sad for boring colors. I’ll be bringing the color when I buy my next phone!
The most popular colours for pro iPhones over the years have been the different colours. What are you on? 12 had Pacific blue, 13 sierra/ green, 14 deep purple. You know how I know these colours because they were popular.
I'm on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and still hearing sometimes: "Ohh, is this the new iPhone?" There is not that much of a difference between them, so people don't notice.
As soon as I saw the colors for the pro models after seeing the regular models colors, I was instantly pissed. I wanted the green so bad, but no, we're stuck with these same colors acting like desert titanium isn't just a shade away from rose gold. .-. but anyway, happy Friday guys! Great to see the crew!
Most carriers in Canada usually only offer the black with their contracts which is why I think most phones end up as black. In order for us to get colored phones we'd need to order directly from the manufacturer.
Yeah, I'm just here to see if the Lights Work.
😂
😂😂😂 leave Ellis alone
Bingo
Likewise
@@brentspotswood Let's gooooo
The collective “Teams” when asked what was the useless messaging app was funny asl 😂
With ms 365 for business, teams is great. These guys just have way too narrow of an opinion sometimes.
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 😂

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

Loved how Marquez rocked out in the middle of the podcast😂
What was he listening to???
Marques bopping to beeps and boops is the best part of this video
Nice alliteration
Give me that RCS PSA as a reel so I can share it.
Screen recording is a thing. Do it yourself.

@@justcallme_tom Yeah but like sharing a reel/short would help boost the channel on the algorithm :D

Shoutout to the AirPod Max team for showing up to work that one day this year 🙌
I just cringe thinking how embarrassed the Max team was when they realized all they were doing was adding USB-C and changing up the colors. Not even the H2 chip. 💀
Shoutout to the 3D knit correction. Thank you Beth and Ellis!
Please never change the music, it's literally a weekly routine to hear it
“It’s Finnish… well let re-start it” 😂😂 👏 Ellis wins. Best line in the episode!
Youre easily impressed
@@HominisLupis just let him enjoy it, it was a good line
ellis, if you are reading this then know that it was a good line. Regards, an avid ellis line enjoyer.
"Do it and don't tell them" Is sometimes how I deal with my family/friends tech...
I’ll never get tired of David saying “And I’m David!”
Just Finished Work In Ireland! Time to listen to waveform and wash the dishes! Cheers!
That “let him cook” building up during the iMessage speech was everything.
Not a dollar per snap. Because it’s daily users vs yearly income. It’s $1/365 per snap.
“Snap Shades” would be a better name for those spectacles.
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.
The disclaimer for the AT&T ad is wild and I feel like someone laughed during the Apple Intelligence part.
Another Friday, another waveform ❤ these roll around so quick!
David should get back to saying "Bingo" at the end of the show 😂
We are running into the weekend in the UK, guys and of course, it's the Waveform :) Congrats on the 250th eps
250th episodes!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉❤
IT"S FRIDAY! 🕺🕺🕺

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

LOVE the zoom in's. LMAO
Marques is really in love with his black ultra 2. I can see the love in his eyes.
Shoutout Beth, you carry that one girl.

getting closer to 2hrs now . Friday well spent !!
Banger of a podcast this week guys! Absolutely loved how long it was perfect background noise for a workday.
Finally I can enjoy my Saturday (midnight) all the way in Australia 🇦🇺!
Crazy that NY ppl start their Friday with the podcast and I here in Asia end the Friday with the pod, because it releases around 8 pm
It's not falling down the chute, but Tetris Effect is a pretty great VR tetris game, it's literally just Tetris but you get sensory overload.
Vibes are always off that charts. love you guys
Happy 250! On my way to collect my 16 pro 🎉
Hi from Bulgaria. I've been watching since the beginning, hard to believe it's already episode 250.
I just love having your guys voices with me every Friday. Thanks for all you do, congrats on 250!
It's always nice to end the Friday workday here in the UK with the Waveform Podcast!
Too bloody right mate.... A nice beer and Waveform; perfect! 👌
“Just do it and don’t tell them.” Villainous
I know the Tetris VR thing was a joke, but Tetris Effect in VR is genuinely wild and everyone should try it at least once.
2:52 I appreciate the rant David 👍🏻🔥

Zoom In On My Face - Rant needs to be a weekly WVFRM section 😂
I would buy a Teal iPhone Pro in a heartbeat!
lol that Paper purse > Airpods max purse moment
We need a waveform VOD channel where unedited versions are uploaded
I really miss my old snap spectacles… the batteries died… can’t replace them…
26:01 ngl Marquez dancing is a vybe 😂
You clearly assume that RCS just works, but it requires carrier support also.
Not marques and David advocating to remove the camera button from the regular phones lol
Moments like Ellis saying "Let's retsart it" at 33:48, followed by a one second pause is the reason I tune in every single friday
Best tech podcast ever
Legit owned an Iphone 13 Pro Max for 3 years and didn't know Photographic Styles was a thing even 😂😂
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.

Hey David! Not only did I get my wife the TEAL, I got her the 16 PLUS! 😂
Extra long episodes are extra great episodes.
giving an option to turn off RCS is apple's idea of customization
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.
Someone PLEASE tell me where to find that theme music!! I NEED to set that as my ringtone NOW.
These really do make my Friday mornings.
Give more per week!!!
Sad that waveform is the least popular mkbhd channel. Seems like alot of work goes into it!
More per week!!!
But is apple gonna make the non pro vision headset, *Vision Dre* ?? Because it might not go well like fine woven cases.
I really want that Bingo!!! for a text alert.
I wish they reserved the new camera button for the pro phone and make that be the pro feature and then give the regular phone the 120hz display.

“If they made a colorful Pro phone, no one would buy it.”
*raises hand*
Times are just too difficult and sad for boring colors. I’ll be bringing the color when I buy my next phone!
Then add that not all carriers have turned it on yet AND Apple is running an older version.
In Belgium we call our phones "GSMs" for some reason, after the Global System for Mobile Communication.
The most popular colours for pro iPhones over the years have been the different colours. What are you on? 12 had Pacific blue, 13 sierra/ green, 14 deep purple. You know how I know these colours because they were popular.
The camera control should have been a proper capacitive 3d touch button. It feel weird having to actually press it.
14:58 I thought I was an OG! When was David’s lasagna story told?🙈🙈🙈
what is silicone valley? I remember silicon valley...
35:43 LOL Marques is def thinking about his next team meeting lecture. "How about we stick to short questions?" (Stares at Ellis)
Yes please
I think super chats and tips to channels should give hypes. And if TH-cam finds out you’re buying your own, you lose all the money and get shut down.
I'm on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and still hearing sometimes: "Ohh, is this the new iPhone?" There is not that much of a difference between them, so people don't notice.
Earliest I've ever been, still late to the comments. This community is wild ❤

damn, actually a pretty good PSA on the RCS/iMessage scenario. Pretty damn good summary.
Funfact: Some people in Europe can't use RCS because the providers don't enable it (e.g., Sunrise in Switzerland)
"You get free products from working here?" That was an underrated joke😂😂
I created a VR version of a popular game, but Nintendo would have sued me into oblivion! But I always loved the idea of old 2D games remade as VR.
