Guys, Apple finally did it. They

0:02

announced the new

0:03

>> Siri, Siri,

0:04

>> Siri,

0:04

>> Siri, all new Siri.

0:06

>> But this video is not about Siri. It's

0:07

about iOS 27 and the exciting non-Siri

0:10

features. Because life is more than just

0:12

talking to a chatbot. There's better app

0:15

performance, a liquid glass slider, new

0:17

parental controls. Okay, let's break

0:19

down the top 27 features in iOS 27. Just

0:23

joking.

0:24

We're doing five, okay? We're doing

0:25

five.

0:29

Number one, system improvements.

0:31

>> Apple's focusing on a ton of small

0:33

things in iOS that really matter,

0:34

including a lot better performance and

0:36

roll the percentage improvement

0:38

promises.

0:38

>> iPhone and iPad apps launch up to 30%

0:42

faster. Now, new photos appear up to 70%

0:46

faster. And when you share those photos

0:48

or other files with a friend using

0:50

AirDrop, they'll transfer up to 80%

0:53

faster.

0:53

>> I'm 100% sure some percentage of those

0:56

are true.

0:58

>> Number two, liquid glass slider.

1:00

>> Since everyone's preference varies,

1:02

we're adding a new slider in settings to

1:04

adjust liquid glass. So you can set it

1:06

anywhere from ultra clear

1:09

to fully tinted.

1:10

>> It's fine. Just say it. Finally.

1:12

>> Number three, Wi-Fi cellular handoff.

1:15

>> I am not going to lie, this was by far

1:17

my favorite thing announced today.

1:18

>> We're making it more seamless for your

1:21

iPhone to transition between cellular

1:23

and Wi-Fi networks.

1:24

>> Okay, Apple. Now do this for Bluetooth.

1:26

The Bluetooth on my phone is constantly

1:27

switching back to the Bluetooth in my

1:29

car when I tell it not to.

1:31

>> Number four, improved parental controls.

1:33

>> Look, if you're a parent, it turns out

1:35

Apple has heard our cries. Not the cries

1:37

of our children, those still continue.

1:39

The company is promising a whole new

1:41

slew of parental controls. And hopefully

1:43

this time they work. A lot of the

1:44

parental tools were already there, but

1:46

some are enhanced like recommendations

1:48

based on age.

1:49

>> We're providing parents with

1:50

recommendations based on expert guidance

1:53

to help them decide what's right for

1:54

their kids.

1:55

>> There's also a new setup up

1:57

and a new website permission setting.

1:59

And if a child receives or attempts to

2:00

send imagery that might contain nudity,

2:03

the system will warn them and blur the

2:04

content. It even works now on live

2:07

FaceTime calls. Apple says parental

2:09

controls have a new underlying

2:10

architecture which should fix some of

2:12

the underlying pain points including

2:13

syncing across devices. Let's hope this

2:16

changes that. Number five, improved

2:18

photo editing.

2:20

Okay, technically this is AI but it's

2:22

not Siri. As part of Apple intelligence

2:23

you can now tweak your photos in new

2:25

ways. The thing I thought was the

2:26

coolest was you can readjust the photo

2:28

angle. What Apple calls spatial

2:30

reframing.

2:31

>> I can touch, drag,

2:33

and the perspective shifts as if I had

2:35

repositioned the camera in the original

2:38

scene. This capability uses on-device

2:41

spatial models so you can preview the

2:43

effect in real time.

2:45

>> Okay, bonus feature I'm excited about.

2:46

AI is coming to the shortcuts app so you

2:49

can just describe what you want your

2:50

shortcut to do.

2:51

>> You could type something like, "When I'm

2:53

leaving work, message Pedro, I'm on my

2:55

way with my ETA." Shortcuts then pulls

2:57

together the system and app actions you

2:59

need. In this case, it creates an

3:01

automation that runs the shortcut when

3:03

you leave your work address.

3:04

>> The great news about iOS 27 is that it

3:06

supports devices going all the way back

3:08

to the iPhone 11. Apple even says,

3:10

>> iOS 27 is available to more users than

3:14

any iOS release ever.

3:16

>> There are also lots of little things

3:17

that have changed in the OS. Here's

3:19

Apple's massive list. I'm definitely

3:21

into the independent alarm volume which

3:24

means that the alarm volume can be

3:25

different than the general phone's

3:27

volume. Okay, I'm off now to hopefully

3:29

find Siri and test her.

3:31

That sounds wrong. But we are going to

3:32

have more on Siri for you. I just need

3:35

to take my time with her.

3:37

Also sounds wrong. Stay tuned and also

3:38

stay tuned for more on iOS 27 as it gets

3:41

closer to the release this fall.
