  7. 0:47 "When was the last time you even left a voicemail for someone?"

    A couple weeks ago actually. Some of us are not rude enough to call someone and not let them know why we were trying to call if they don't pick up.

  14. In 2002, I got my first cell phone from Sprint. It was made by Sanyo, and it had a feature that will transfer the missed calls into an internal answering device that allowed me to hear the callers while leaving their messages into my phone and I was able to interrupt them, just like a landline answering machine.

  17. Yeah most of iOS 17 updates seems like meh. I hope auto correct works better. The current version isn’t very good. Even though it’s bad, typing on Apple devices is so much better than Samsung. Every time I have to fix a family member’s Samsung Galaxy S23 it feels so clunky and slow, and the typing is too sensitive, not sure how Samsung users put up with accidentally typing stuff in. The setting menu is so convoluted, it’s hard to find where I need to go. I have to always Google the steps and it be buried deep somewhere. Apple simplicity can’t be replicated. Even though Samsung has beaten Apple in Phone hardware, the software still is inferior for usability.

  20. Speaking of going back to the 90's, all these AI chatbots—ChatGPT, Bing's, Google's, Siri—should aspire to to be like Holly, the ships main computer, from Red Dwarf. Or even Kryton, limitations and all, love him. It's impossible to love something that is perfect, that doesn't have quirks or imperfections of some kind: people are intimidated and fearful of 'perfect'. You can't beat 90's answer machines – it was so much better being able to leave anonymous heavy breathing phone messages, without your name and number appearing on screen!

  22. Even though Google might have done something similar first regarding voicemail. But Apple seems to know how to do things right. Which is always a game changer. I’ve never been more excited (or excited at all) for software updates. Woohoo!!! The iMessage and contact cards are going to be awesome as well!

  35. Android innovation makes Apple look ridiculous when it comes to their phones and what you can do with them and how easily you can do all of this. Apple customers are so trained to just appreciate any little thing Apple does. It’s almost scary. It’ll be interesting to see if any or all of these updates work properly like they should or if it will be a buggy mess for six months.

  43. I love Bridget's reviews so I always tune in when she puts a video out. I've been a CNET follower for years and miss some of the older content like Prize-Fight and Brian C exclusive car reviews "and Ugly is included at no extra cost."
    Ok, now the good stuff. Live Voicemail! If you are an Android user you know this is not new because it has been on Android for several years and so is the autocorrect feature. Apple is finally bringing its users into the 21st century. I don't know this and am not going to look it up so let me ask. Can Apple devices charge each other as some Android can?
