Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and it's that time of year again where i go over what's
on my iphone as many of you have asked so this is what's on my iphone and ipad for late 2021
and this video has been sponsored by the fly app we'll take a look at that in just a moment
now the first thing is my main home screen as you can see if you've been following me
for any period of time things have not changed too much and i really should change this up and
plan to do that before the end of the year since this has been fairly static and is kind of kept
this way based on the way i use the phone and due to muscle memory now as you can see the top
three rows are all apple apps and apple widgets or an apple widget i have the
clock at the top with phone next to it the phone is at the top because i don't use it
that much so i really don't make a whole lot of phone calls i mostly use text messages and more
and then i have photos the camera and the weather widget i like to have the weather
on the main screen i like the widget it gives me easy access into the current weather situation
and i think it just looks nice then on the next row i have reminders app store maps and home
and while i use apple maps i do like the way it looks better than google maps however google maps
is still my go-to when i'm using navigation on my phone on my screen though you'll see i
have the notes app i personally have not found a better notes app that works better for me anyway
and the reason i say this is i put all of my ideas all of my different outlines and maybe different
sort of shots i need for b-roll when filming a video when you see video that doesn't look
like this but rather maybe i'm scrolling past the back of the cameras or something like that i put
all of those different things in the notes app and then they seamlessly sync between the iphone
the ipad and my mac and they're just available at any time when i go to bed at night maybe i
have an idea i'll put it in there and then fill it in in the morning so it just makes it really easy
then i have settings then i have a church app with bible services and elevation then i also
have social networking where i have telegram and discord i have a telegram and discord server
some of you are on it but we're typically just discussing things such as what's going on with ios
different iphones anything from cars to whatever you'd like to talk about so if
you want to check that out i'll link it in the description also i have gmail and i keep
gmail separate from the regular email app and that's because gmail is handled in the gmail app
all of my other email addresses are in the mail app such as my zolotek address
as well as icloud then i have amazon pretty simple and straightforward and then youtube of course
where i can watch youtube but also manage this channel with youtube studio that's something i
use all the time to reply to comments and more and i really like the way it works they keep improving
it and i use it every single day multiple times per day so it's nice to have it right there now a
lot of people have said why do i have a tesla app well for any of you that have been following me
for a long period of time you'll know that's the car i drive so this acts as not only the controls
for the car but also the key it uses bluetooth and acts as the key to the car if you go into the app
we'll let it load you'll see there's my car there's the name you can change it at any time
it's a new long range model s and it gives you all the different controls and things where you
can open the front you can check out the charging port here where you can change the charge limit
and more so it just lets me control it even summon it bring it to me and it's something
i use all the time from time to time when i need to change the timeline the charge limit
or maybe just warm up the interior or cool it down it makes it really simple now also at the
bottom of course social media such as instagram twitter google and overcast for podcasts it's a
great podcast app i find that i go back to it over and over so you can just sort of speed through it
jump through different parts of the podcast and speed it up i just like the way it looks and it
seems to work the best and then of course the apps i use all the time messages safari mail and music
now on the second page it's arranged a little bit differently i have things arranged in apps that i
use sometimes and then also apps that i'm trying out so it's not used maybe as much as the first
page or i'm trying out an app to see if it belongs on my first page and this video is brought to you
by fly the fly app is a new social media app and it allows you to have a 3d model of an interactive
city where people are posting about it in real time so as you can see this is new york city
and maybe we go over let's zoom out here you'll see it's a 3d model we'll zoom in to the statue
of liberty where there's a bunch of different people interacting so maybe if we zoom in here
you'll see there's a post here we'll tap on it and it says boat cruise party so someone took
a video of the statue of liberty and posted it there so you have that nice option and as people
post around here of course it shows up and you can have them interact with it and then on the
statue of liberty itself if you tap on it it will give you information about it and they also
have a giveaway going on and they typically have giveaways going on and in this case you can win
a playstation 5 or one of five separate 200 visa gift cards all you have to do is take a photo of
a place that you like and say i love this place in your post and the best photos typically win and so
you have that interactive city and it's cities all across the world i was able to see my local
city charlotte you can see you can zoom way out from new york city zoom in and as you zoom in
you can see it'll take just a moment there we go you'll see different people posting at different
locations so you'll have different people posting and you can see what they're saying
in those locations so maybe you're at a place nearby you can see what's going on as people
post so it's a nice little app again you have that giveaway here if you want to check that out
and go to the statue of liberty and post a photo and you can have a chance to win those be sure
to check out the fly up in the description below and thanks again to them for sponsoring this video
now again on the second page you can see i have a couple different things i have the voice memos app
amazon again which is duplicated i need to get rid of that find my which i do use
typically as well as magnifier shortcuts whatsapp which i typically don't have on my phones but i
need it to communicate with some people so i've left it there if we go to the next page you'll see
i have some widgets that i typically just leave there that i play around with new widgets and
different widgets i find that i don't use widgets too often for some reason i really don't use them
that much and then on the next page this is the app library and this is what i use the most if i'm
not using an app on my main or secondary screen i typically leave it here because it auto organizes
and you'll see here's a newer app that's sort of in test phase where i'm using it in test flight
and this is old os this was made by someone that actually redid the os so that it runs within ios
15 and as you can see if i go into the ipod and turn it sideways we even have cover flow
so they've implemented everything really well and hopefully this will come out very soon but as you
can see you can scroll between it go into the weather app it looks just like it did years ago
and they even have mail working so you can use this fully if you wanted to you can go into the
old camera if you want to do that and you have to allow access and i just re-downloaded the new
version i had an older version on here but you'll see here's the old camera app and you can switch
between video and photos it even has a toggle for hdr on or off which the iphone itself doesn't so
it says hdr i guess it's just a button but not on but you can go home and it looks just like
it used to so if you prefer the look of that you can use it even with the old youtube app
and so that's old os again it's in testing so i can link that below but all of the major apps that
i cover i'll link below and then again if we go in here you'll see here's all the different apps
i have and typically what i do is i search for an app that i want to use so maybe i want to use
call of duty i'll search for it using spotlight search or cache app or anything from contacts to
well really anything in here all of the main pages i just tap on but for the most part i just
search for things you'll see all of the different google apps health as we keep going again another
app i'm testing out is i event timer oops we'll go back there's one right here and again i keep
testing it out but it's i event timer and we'll allow it there and i installed this yesterday
there was an update and it shows different events old events from all the different places so
it's pretty nice and there's a bunch of different apps i like to test out from time to time and as
we go through all of my apps you'll see let's go up a little bit here you'll see i have quite a few
and some i don't use all the time some i do but this just automatically sorts them alphabetically
and i don't have to think about it i use rove for a slider that i have for filming cue manager all
of these things i don't necessarily use every day but i still want to keep on my phone and i know
not everybody loves app library but i really like it because it just makes it auto organized i don't
have to have pages and pages of a mess of apps and you'll see it's just very very simple so nothing
particularly super exciting the fly app and then of course the other things i've shown you as well
so i really like the old os app as well now on ipad my ipad is laid out similarly now recently
maybe recently within the past month or two i've reset this and i had some issues with it and so i
really need to change the layout of some of this but you'll see many of the same sorts of apps
so the weather widget but why there's no weather app from apple i'm not really sure but there's a
weather widget pixelmator i use pixelmator and pixelmator photo a lot because of maybe editing
photos if i'm using my ipad and then ring for home cameras and then i was trying out a game
here port city ship tycoon i haven't played it too much but i always like those sorts of games
on the next page you'll see i have a big widget from podcasts it shows me all the latest podcasts
and then also your typical apple apps hbo max of course is not one but your typical apple
apps are here and i need to reorganize this on page three i have some games or one game
field runner's attack and also xbox cloud gaming so i've tried that out a little bit it works
pretty well but nothing is terribly organized here and i need to fix that another app i think
is pretty neat is sightscape sightscape allows you to use the lidar sensor on the back of your phone
and it uses that or on your iphone to scan the area and build a 3d model of it so
or a 3d point grid so you'll see it's scanning now if i move up here behind now the more you do this
the more it sort of creates a detailed image so it can take a while to do you walk around a room
it's really great at mapping out a room and then giving you dimensions so you can see this is all
it's done in the short time i've been using it but as you move it around it gets more and more
detailed you can measure distances and more and you'll see it's starting to build out what was
behind my iphone there's a stand there with a pro display xdr and it allows you to see what's going
on so it's really great i've used it to scan rooms entire rooms in different houses and buildings
it works well for that and i've been testing that as well from time to time but all of these
apps like i said i use the app library a lot to manage things so i don't typically like to sort
my apps i just search for them it's even how i use the mac i'll use spotlight search to find
the app i'm working on unless it's something i use regularly which is listed down at the bottom
so let me know how you organize your iphone and ipad in the comments below and i'd really like to
try some other games typically i'll have call of duty on here i'll use it with a controller
and play that sometimes but i don't play a ton of games on my ipad i use it more for consumption
watching youtube videos occasionally writing notes shopping and mail and then other things such as a
an occasional game but not too much it's mostly a consumption or idea device but let me know what
apps you would recommend maybe i should change this home screen up do you have widgets that you
use regularly that you find helpful i'd love to hear from you in the comments below as i'd like
to change this up this year let me know and of course i'll link fly app in the description like
i normally do be sure to check it out and again you can win that playstation or 200 gift cards if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper of course i'll link it in the description like
i normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the
