- Look, I'm Woody!
Howdy, howdy, howdy.
(beeping) - Huge thank you to Audible
for sponsoring today's WWDC 2018 coverage.
Yo guys, Jonathan here,
iOS 12 just dropped this week at WWDC.
Yes this is a microphone, I'm on the road right now,
so I opted for better audio quality
as opposed to trying to hide it,
because if not, it would sound echoey as--
- Shikaka!
(upbeat electronic music)
- One, it is now much easier to swipe up
and close out of applications on the iPhone 10.
For some strange reason,
it was actually a multi-step process,
where you had to get to your multiple apps,
window, hold, then swipe up.
Now, it is much easier to simply get
to your multiple apps,
swipe up and that's it.
It's how it should have been from the first place.
Two, I wish I had a dollar for every time I accidentally
took a screenshot on the iPhone 10.
And now with iOS 12 it is actually much harder to do.
So if your phone's off and your screen is off,
when you press the volume up and the side button,
thankfully, it will no longer take a screenshot.
(exciting electronic music)
Three, it looks like there's not going to be
automatic updates within iOS 12,
or at least the option to turn that on.
If you head into Settings, General, Software Update,
you had the ability to toggle on or off Automatic Updates.
And I like the fact that Apple gives you an option.
Some people don't want to think about updating their phones.
So if you're one of those people and just want your phone
to do the work for you, you have that option.
But if you want that control,
we've all experienced those bugs or those crazy updates
where something goes seriously wrong,
and just in case you don't want to update it right away,
it's nice that you have that flexibility.
Next up at number four,
are really useful shortcuts within the Messages app.
So if you're within a thread,
simply tap the name and now you have quick access
to call them, FaceTime, or grant more info.
Clearly that's not a game-changing feature
or the biggest update in the world,
but it's those small things that make
the overall experience kind of come together.
(upbeat electronic music)
Number five, there are now two more Siri voices:
Irish and South African.
Tell me a joke in Irish.
- [Siri] I was washing a car with a friend
until they said "Can't you just use a sponge?"
- Hmm? - Irish peeps out there,
let me know what you think of that accent,
is it good, is it bad, is it terrible?
Now we're going to tap over to--
- [Siri] I'm Siri, your virtual assistant.
- I just downloaded you!
(calm orchestral music)
- [Siri] The condition that distinguishes
animals and plants from inorganic matter,
including the capacity for growth,
reproduction, functional activity,
and continual change preceding death,
do you want to hear the next one?
(loud thudding) - No!
(upbeat electronic music)
- Six, it looks like you now have the ability to have
multiple face ID profiles within the iPhone 10.
Now within settings it looks like Apple's intent
is for alternate appearances.
So if you have a drastically different look,
that's the idea.
From what I can tell,
it should work with actually two different faces
no problem whatsoever.
I'm not sure if Apple keeps this in for the final run,
but we've always seen where you could have
multiple fingerprints to where
multiple people can log in to the same device.
So, it would make sense that we can do that with face ID.
So we've heard those brand new Siri voices,
but on top of that, number seven,
Siri's supposed to be smarter.
Now I'm not sure exactly how much smarter.
It's definitely not Google Assistant level,
but at the very least she should have more knowledge
on celebrities, food,
and I know for a fact she can now turn on the Flashlight.
Turn on the Flashlight.
- [Siri] Okay, I turned on Flashlight.
- Turn off the Flashlight.
- [Siri] Okay, I turned off Flashlight.
- So there we have Siri turning off the Flashlight
in a South African accent,
just in case you wanted to see that.
One more small detail with Siri,
is that it will now work
within low-power mode within iOS 12.
Next up from there, number eight,
you now have the ability to scan QR codes
directly from the Camera app.
So to do this,
head over to Customize Your Control Center,
add it, once you tap it, bam!
You are now scanning QR codes directly from the camera.
Now again, not a huge game-changing feature, but it's nice.
This is something that you previously
had to download or buy an app to do.
And now it's integrated directly in iOS 12.
So voice memos got a complete redesign within iOS 12,
but you can also dive into Settings
and customize things even further.
Not only can you change if and when you want
those voice memos to automatically be deleted,
you can change audio quality up to uncompressed,
or even set a default recording name based on your location.
(singing in a foreign language)
Next from there, at number 10,
Screen Time is obviously a brand-new feature
within iOS 12 where you can see
how exactly you use your phone, you can set limits.
But, if you swipe right,
you could actually add a Screen Time widget.
So you can see kind of a brief overview
or if you want those in-depth details,
simply tap and bam, you are there.
Again, big shout out to Audible
for sponsoring today's video.
With summer right around the corner,
audiobooks make a fantastic sidekick
whether you're hiking, whether you're at the beach,
whether you're outdoors or in my case,
on a plane to WWDC.
On the way over I got a chance to listen to Elon Musk
a.k.a. Tony Stark,
a.k.a. Hank Scorpio,
whether it's Tesla, SpaceX,
or the Boring company launching a freaking flamethrower,
he might be the most interesting dude on the planet.
Up until this point,
I hadn't got a chance to listen to the book,
so the fact that I can do that
through audio form is amazing.
Audible carries an unmatched selection of audiobooks
from business, to classics, to erotica,
fiction, history, romance, mysteries,
thrillers, sci-fi, and fantasies.
Essentially anything you want,
they are more than likely going to have it.
So all of that sounds amazing but it gets better.

You guys are amazing.
Audible's amazing, let's continue.
(calm electronic music)
Next up at number 11, animojis,
and of course memojis now have the ability
to record clips up to 30 seconds long.
Previously, you were capped at 10 seconds.
I could see that being a little short.
You're recording your animoji,
and you're racing the clock,
it's not a lot of time to get everything out you gotta say.
30 seconds though should be plenty of time,
and is definitely welcomed.
Finally from there, number 12.
This is kind of a little small,
but subtle, awesome feature.
Now within Apple Music you can search by lyrics.
So if you got that one line that's stuck in your head,
but you have no idea how to find it.
You can't Shazam it 'cause you can't sing for--
- Shawshank Redemption.
- But at least you know the line,
now you can type it directly into Apple Music
and it should pop up with the search results for you.
So aside from that, thank you guys very much for watching.
Hopefully you enjoyed the video.
If you did and you are feeling like being awesome,
make sure to go--
- Hmm.
- On that like button.
If you missed my WWDC recap,
got an awesome collab going on,

This is Jonathan and
I'll catch you guys later.
- You're outta there!
Go on, you're gone.
