Pratica di Shadowing: iOS and iPadOS 27: What Actually Matters - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

iOS and iPadOS 27 is here, and I've been using it all summer long, taking notes on it, running it through its paces, and just testing everything out.

Between the new Siri AI, a bunch of performance improvements, and tweaks to the system, there's a lot to unpack here.

This video is sponsored by Paperlike.

The big headlining new feature throughout iOS and iPadOS 27 is Siri AI, and how it's more deeply integrated throughout all of Apple's OSes.

Siri is now using LLM technology.

Apple partnered with Google to build the Apple Foundation models.

These are the LLM models that Siri is now running on.

And this isn't just for Siri as well, this is for all of the Apple intelligence features.

So the stuff that was announced a few years ago that's been in iOS and iPadOS for a while

is now getting essentially a new engine put into it.

Apple's models are a combination of on-device and cloud models.

There is a local orchestrator that decides where a request goes.

If it's something an on-device model can handle, it stays there.

If not, and it's something a bit more complex and needs a cloud model, it will go to Apple's private cloud compute.

Siri AI is a big upgrade over old Siri.

It's smarter.

The world knowledge it has access to is much more robust and thorough than the previous Siri.

When asking it a question, you won't get the annoying answer of, unlock your iPhone so I could do a web search.

It also has better control over your device for stuff like smart home, recalling and adding information to apps and commands.

Plus, you can now chain multiple commands together.

The big thing is Siri is more conversational now.

You can follow up on a request, you can tell it got something wrong, or do research without having to give that command over again.

This makes it a lot less frustrating to use when it does get something wrong.

Not all devices that are getting iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 are getting the new Siri AI.

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max or any iPhone from the 16 line or newer, you are going to get Siri AI.

And as far as iPads go, any iPad with the M1 chip or newer or the iPad mini with the A17 Pro will get Siri AI.

Older devices that support iOS 27

or iPadOS 27 will still be able to run all the iOS 27 stuff

that I talk about in this video but they won't be getting Siri AI.

I spent the summer asking Siri AI just about any question I could come up with.

I was using it to help me cook, helping me when I was stuck in a game, answering business questions, brainstorming ideas, using it to work out technical problems,

help planning our wedding, even a list of the top 50 transformers, which I could debate the results of for a long time.

Like, I can make a whole video about that.

Siri AI is good for the most part.

But over the summer, every time I would ask Siri AI a question, I would also ask either Claude or ChatGPT that same question as well.

Most of the time I got similar-ish answers, which is good.

That's what you want.

You don't want it making up a completely different answer.

You want it to give you the correct answer.

That being said, if it was something the AI needed to do more research in, it needed to go deeper because it was a deep topic,

Claude or ChatGPT would always give me a more detailed answer than Siri AI.

Siri AI would give me the correct answer but Claude

or ChatGPT would give me more in

which case I would have more of a rabbit hole to go down

or more of a path to go down to get more

information this is not me saying Siri AI is bad Apple does this thing where the apps

that they make or the system features

that they make are good for about 80 to 90 percent of people like

that for most people out there this is going to be perfect for them

and siri ai is going to fall into this category

but there are going to be people

that want more detailed answers more robust answers more deeper researched answers that's where something like clod

or chap gpt is going to come into play siri ai is going to be really nice

because it's just baked right into the os and you can just hit

that side button say the trigger phrase

or a bunch of other ways you can trigger siri

that we'll talk about in a minute

but siri does hook into your apps via something called app

intense now siri ai does need apps to update to a

new version of app intense in order to work with it

once they do siri ai will be able to pull information

or add information to the app a whole bunch of stuff

that we'll cover in just a minute

when an app updates to support app intense or

if you're using one of the system apps which will be updated

and ready to go day one of ios or ipad os 27

that experience of using Siri AI with a supported app, it's magical.

It works great.

For me, it all clicked one day when I was walking the dog

and I had the leash in one hand and well, a full poop bag in another.

But I had my AirPods in at the time and I had an idea for a project.

What I did is I had it create a note

and just kind of gave a couple of lines summary of my idea

and then reminded me when I got home from walking the dog to kind of look into this a little bit more.

It went off, it created the note, and it created the reminder for when I got home to take a look at that.

That was all in one command.

I didn't have to do multiple commands.

I didn't have to fight with Siri about, no, I needed to go into this app, or no, I said this thing, or I meant this, or no, you did this wrong.

It understood me, and it went off and did it, and it was great.

I run my life and business out of my iPad, And a big part of that is using the Apple Pencil.

So for me, the Paperlike is a must-have.

Paperlike adds this tactile, satisfying feeling for me when I'm using the Apple Pencil.

It gives it friction so that when I am writing or drawing, I get feedback.

I feel each stroke as I write on my iPad.

It's almost therapeutic for me at this point.

Anytime I'm using an iPad that doesn't have a Paperlike, whether it's a review unit or somebody else's, it just feels off.

The glass almost feels slippery when I'm using the Apple Pencil on its display.

There's no grip for the pencil and my Apple Pencil strokes just kind of feel messy.

I get work done every single day with my iPad, Apple Pencil, and Paperlike.

Whether I'm just marking up a document, signing a contract, working on a shot list, or just journaling in my app.

I love this combo.

If you're somebody that's focused on productivity with an iPad, Paperlike is a must-have.

Paperlake has a bunch of interesting technology built into it to

separate itself out from the rest of the screen protectors in its class.

Paperlake uses their own custom Nano Dot technology that gives a natural paper feel without giving up any screen clarity.

It also has a butterfly application system

so you can apply it easily with no bubbles or dust getting under the screen protector.

Plus, it preserves the low latency of the Apple Pencil, and it does a good job of balancing friction and smoothness, so that way you're not just running through Apple Pencil tips.

100

Plus, it also does the job of protecting your iPad screen.

101

Paperlike is one of my favorite iPad accessories.

102

In fact, I have it on both of my personal iPads.

103

And they also have a bunch of other iPad accessories, too, that you should all check out.

104

I'm going to put some links in the description below so you can go check out Paperlike.

105

My thanks to Paperlike for sponsoring this video.

106

Now, Siri AI can do a lot with system apps.

107

It can search for the contents inside of an app in apps like mail, messages, notes, calendar, reminders, a few more,

108

plus any third-party apps that update to support it.

109

It can also handle creation or drafting of notes or messages or tasks or events, whatever you want.

110

It can handle the creation of that if the app supports it.

111

Now, there's nothing world-bending here about any of that stuff.

112

In fact, this is all stuff technically the old Siri should have been able to do.

113

It just didn't do it very well.

114

Old Siri was very frustrating to work with, and it was a flip of a coin if it ever did work.

115

With the new Siri AI, it can do everything the old Siri was supposed to do, and it can do it accurately.

116

You just have to give it a chance.

117

Like I said, I've been trying to use it every chance I get over the summer, and I have found it to be useful for quite a few things.

118

You can have it draft messages or emails for you.

119

Again, this was something old Siri was supposed to be able to do, but for a lack of a better word, it's now trustworthy.

120

I've been using it to dictate emails while I'm walking the dog.

121

You know, I'm just walking down the street dictating emails to Siri like a crazy person.

122

Once I get back home, I can then go through my drafts and verify everything, make sure it was accurate.

123

You know, it didn't go off and make it say something that I didn't say.

124

The one frustrating thing that I did find is

125

that it cuts you off about a minute into dictating so you kind of have to talk fast.

126

But the real power of Siri AI isn't about creating or adding information, it's about the ability to pull information from any app that supports it.

127

This means it can search your emails for that receipt you need that was sent to you years ago.

128

It can look through your notes for

129

that thing you can't quite remember what it's called

130

but you know it has information about a specific type of car washing soap that you use.

131

Or search for that document that you thought was in your downloads but you have no idea where you moved it to.

132

One of my favorite tests I did was regarding a trip

133

that my fiance and I took to San Diego over a year ago.

134

We went to a restaurant that we absolutely loved.

135

So all I said was, hey Siri, what was that steakhouse Danielle mentioned in San Diego?

136

And it found it.

137

I asked it to pull up the website, it did that, and I looked at the menu and my mouth started drooling.

138

Siri AI works great for going through your calendar to find something you did

139

or for pulling up an address where an event happened.

140

Siri is just overall more useful on your device going through system apps and third-party apps that will update to support it.

141

It's the virtual assistant it's always should have been, finally.

142

Now, before you start using Siri AI, there will be some on-device processing and indexing that needs to happen on your device.

143

If you go into the Settings app, right towards the top, it'll tell you that it's indexing your device.

144

Now, if you don't see

145

that there good news is it's done indexing what this is

146

doing is creating well an index of all the information it needs to go through

147

and this can take a really long time on the beta

148

for me it could take up to a week there's a few times it would reset throughout the beta

149

and every single time it would take a week to go

150

through all my information now i have a lot of data on my device So for other people, it may vary.

151

But during the time that it's doing the indexing, Siri AI isn't going to be the most reliable.

152

So if you're wondering why it's not finding this piece of information in messages or an email, just give it time.

153

Let it do its index.

154

Once it's done, that's when you should run it through its paces.

155

Now, that being said, Apple did bake in a feature in iOS and iPadOS 26.6.

156

So that way the on-device indexing should happen before you even install iOS and iPadOS 27.

157

So hopefully when this ships to everyone, you won't have to do a week of indexing.

158

It'll just be ready to go for you.

159

On-screen awareness has been a feature of iOS and iPadOS and Siri for a while now.

160

But outside of Safari, I never really had much luck getting it to work.

161

It's been updated to work with the new Siri AI and it's a lot more flexible now.

162

Based on the type of content that is on screen, you can ask it questions, summarize, and my personal favorite, spell and grammar check, along with a lot more.

163

I've used this to create a reminder about a website I was looking at, get more context about an image I had on screen,

164

or make a list in notes based on some options on a webpage.

165

The on-screen awareness stuff is actually really interesting and really powerful.

166

The trick is you have to remember it exists.

167

There's no real button for it.

168

You talk to Siri about it and it will then do things based on what is on your screen.

169

We're going to dive a little more into this throughout this whole video

170

and when we get to some of the system app stuff.

171

But basically anything that's on the screen, you can ask it to give you more context about or, you know, recommend something based on what's on screen.

172

whatever you can kind of think of, it's your way of kind of getting more information now.

173

Visual intelligence got a big update and is no longer tucked behind the camera control button.

174

There is now a Siri button right in the camera app, and this can be used to trigger visual intelligence.

175

Now, visual intelligence isn't just for looking up what kind of dog somebody is walking.

176

It's also action-based.

177

You can scan a receipt and split a bill via Apple Cash.

178

You can get nutritional insights.

179

scan a barcode to create a wallet pass, or have it look at a business card and import that information into a new contact.

180

Visual intelligence isn't just about what your camera can see, it's also about what's on your screen.

181

It's a part of the on-screen awareness as well.

182

For example, if you get an email with a bunch of conference information, times talks are going to be happening, dinners, a bunch of events, that kind of thing.

183

You can take a screenshot of that

184

and Visual Intelligence will give you a button to add all of that to your calendar.

185

You can also take a screenshot and highlight or circle something to get more information about that item or take an action.

186

This also works with the Apple Pencil if you're on an iPad.

187

There is a little bit of file management that Siri AI can do, but for the most part, Apple will be pointing you towards shortcuts for moving things around.

188

Now, it can do the very typical AI stuff like summarizing a document.

189

Siri AI can handle that no problem it can search the contents of the document

190

so you don't need to know the exact file name of something

191

which has actually been really handy

192

because we've been getting a bunch of PDF from wedding vendors

193

and stuff like that so I can just search for the kind of services

194

that they offer and don't have to remember which one does what

195

and it'll do handy system level stuff in the files app

196

so say you're saving a document

197

and based on the content in the document it'll suggest a file name for

198

that document that's pretty cool okay let's let's get let's get

199

into some fun stuff Siri AI isn't just about system stuff

200

like I mentioned it third-party apps can update to support it

201

as well for example the third-party note-taking app drafts has updated to support creating new notes

202

and searching content inside the app with Siri AI the Bulletin

203

RSS Reader app has added the ability to summarize an article

204

just by asking Siri about it you know what's on screen again

205

and for my own app parchment i added the ability to

206

write to the daily notes section to have the daily notes section summarize back to you

207

and to have your agenda view shown to you now asking siri to save

208

or recall information isn't the only way third-party apps can take

209

advantage of the apple foundation models some apps can integrate the cloud

210

and improve local models right inside their app for example drafts

211

added the ability to write to the ai in the app

212

so you You can ask it to do things without ever needing to go to Siri or leave the app.

213

SQL used this to add natural language search for categories and groups, for example, PS5 games I haven't started or my 5 star movies.

214

In Parchment I added the ability to summarize your day and week, provided reflection prompts, and my personal favorite feature of this update,

215

extract action items based on your daily note.

216

This will turn any to-dos in your daily note into actual reminders for you to check off in the Reminders app.

217

There's quite a bit third-party apps can do with Siri AI and the Apple Foundation models.

218

I'm going to make a whole dedicated video about the best apps out there

219

that have taken advantage of these features because there's quite a bit

220

and I just don't have time to cover it in this video.

221

As you've seen throughout this video already, there are a few different ways to work with Siri.

222

One of the big improvements is to the new Siri voice.

223

This feature requires an iPhone 17 Pro line, iPhone Air or any newer device,

224

or an iPad with an M4 chip or newer with more than 12GB of RAM.

225

In settings, Siri, you can set up the new voice, there are different accents to pick from, plus you can adjust the pace and expressivity.

226

I like British 2 personally, but mostly because I want a fancy British butler.

227

You have three reminders on your list for today.

228

weekly report iOS and iPad OS 27 walkthrough and finish b-roll for iOS

229

and iPad OS 27 walkthrough overall I really like these voices

230

I like what Apple's done with them they feel really natural

231

and now that you can go back and forth

232

and have a conversation with Siri

233

and follow up it feels a lot more natural conversation like

234

with these voices Siri also has a new look on the iPhone

235

and iPad the return of the ball actually quite like this

236

quite a bit another Another way to work with Siri AI is through its new dedicated app.

237

I'm still a bit shocked Apple made a chatbot.

238

In here you can chat back and forth with Siri, set up threads for specific projects, and of course revisit old conversations.

239

This isn't limited to stuff you did in the app

240

but also includes voice chats and spotlight which we will talk more about in a minute.

241

Something I appreciate

242

that they tweaked over the summer was the threshold a conversation needed to match to show up in the app.

243

This way you're not getting stuff like smart home commands

244

or asking it to play a certain playlist from the music app showing up here.

245

Everything in this app is relevant.

246

Spotlight has been my favorite way of working with Siri AI over the summer, and it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

247

From what I understand, the only thing that's pretty much recycled from the old Spotlight is the name.

248

The best way to think about this is Apple took the old Spotlight and the old Type to the Siri feature, put on some Marvin Gaye, turn down the lights, and new Spotlight was born.

249

In the Spotlight box, you can pull up an app, search for a document, ask Siri a question, and even turn on a smart home lamp.

250

Anything you could do with the old Spotlight is in here, and anything you could do with the new Siri is in here as well.

251

This bar is now the superpower of all of the Apple OS's.

252

It even has the same access to the on-screen awareness stuff.

253

But the best part is on the iPhone and iPad you can finally access Spotlight when an app is open.

254

And there's this fun little animation as well on the iPad that you can just drag it around.

255

No more having to go back to the home screen or lock screen to get to Spotlight.

256

This is something I've asked for years ago.

257

I'm so happy this is here.

258

Search is also really good in Spotlight.

259

I had to rewire my brain over the summer of using spotlight to open an app

260

and then browse to the file or document

261

that I wanted I now I've been bringing up spotlight

262

and just typing in the specific document note reminder playlist whatever

263

whatever content I want to pull up I've been thinking about

264

it as searching for content not the app search overall feels much faster compared to the older spotlight

265

and even more important it feels more accurate it usually knows what I'm looking for and makes that the top result.

266

But even if that specific thing I'm looking for isn't the top result, what I want is usually on the list somewhere.

267

Plus shortcuts index faster and run faster from Spotlight, this is a huge win for me.

268

I run most of my shortcuts from Spotlight.

269

On the iPad you can still use Spotlight to put apps in the multitasking view, including split view and of course slide over.

270

Now, every device gets the new rebuilt Spotlight, but only those that support the new Siri get the Siri AI features in Spotlight.

271

So even if you don't have the new Siri on a device, you will still get the new look of Spotlight along with the new backend features of Spotlight.

272

You just don't get the Siri part.

273

In the context menu, you are gonna see an option that says, Ask Siri everywhere.

274

You can use this for anything in the OS and just about any app.

275

It's baked in and developers don't even have to update to support it.

276

This gives you the option to highlight something and ask Siri about it directly without having to talk to Siri verbally.

277

Write with Siri has replaced the writing tools feature in the 27 releases.

278

You will see this above the keyboard in apps like Mail, Messages, Notes, among other places as well.

279

When you tap this it'll bring up the spotlight bar.

280

You can ask it to write a draft, rewrite or edit the content you have already written, personalize the style or tone based on the context, or do spell and grammar checking.

281

I'm very hesitant to let AI do any kind of writing for me.

282

Every word you're hearing me say right now, I wrote myself.

283

But I do really like this feature for spell and grammar checking.

284

It does a pretty good job for the most part, and it caught some big stuff.

285

Speaking of, the Spell and Grammar Checking System has been upgraded this year, and it's now called Automatic Proofreading.

286

This is a little confusing.

287

If you make a spelling mistake, you will still see a red line under it.

288

But what the automatic system does is it looks at what you are typing

289

and then make suggestions based on what is written.

290

You'll see a blue line when this is triggered.

291

This will happen for common things like using the wrong there or to, leaving a word out, or using the wrong punctuation.

292

What this doesn't seem to do is fix major issues with structure of a paragraph or fix a run on sentence.

293

Just tap on any of these blue lines to see the suggested fix.

294

Last year Apple introduced Liquid Glass, their new design language across all their OS's and apps.

295

Fair to say it was a mix bagged on how it was received.

296

But this year it's been updated and I'm a big fan.

297

The thing that surprised me the most is Apple added a slider in Settings Appearance.

298

In here you can adjust how liquidy or solid the glass is.

299

Personally, I don't mind the liquid side of the slider, but I keep it on the more tinted side because it helps legibility when making these videos.

300

A big focus of the liquid glass update though is readability.

301

So even if you go full clear on the slider, text is still legible.

302

Content behind the glass is more diffused, making the stuff on top stand out.

303

You'll notice a bunch of different changes throughout the OS, like sidebars being more distinct and system app icons being overhauled.

304

There are a few changes to the home screen and lock screen this year.

305

First there is a new extended wallpaper option.

306

If you are setting an image as your background, you want the subject to be in a specific spot but the image isn't big enough to do it,

307

the system will now allow you to generate up to about 20% more of the image

308

so that you can get it to fit just right.

309

It mostly focuses on adding a background, so you're not gonna add Aunt Edna, but you know, it'll give you a little wiggle room to play around with.

310

I have a lot of issues with generative AI, so basically photo and video AI stuff.

311

This I can kind of get on board with

312

because I know there are people out there

313

that have like pictures of their kids or grandkids or something like

314

that that they want to use as their wallpaper

315

but it wasn't framed right for that kind of thing and this will help with that.

316

It's going to help people enjoy their devices more and I'm not going to be somebody that poo-poos on that.

317

When editing the iPhone's lock screen there is now an option to shrink the clock

318

so it's right next to the date line.

319

Personally I like the big clock but this is an option if you want it.

320

If you have the timer set up in control center Launching

321

it now gives you the controls in the dynamic island instead of launching the full app.

322

I love this UI for quick interaction.

323

On the iPhone, there is now an extra large widget size.

324

This will take up the whole home screen on the iPhone.

325

There are versions of this extra large widget for the system apps for reminders, calendar, music, photos, and more.

326

Third-party apps will be able to update to support this, like the app Cheat Sheet.

327

It lets you put a note right on your home screen.

328

And Parchment will have an extra large widget as well.

329

On the iPad, the iPhone's extra large widgets can be added into the Today View.

330

Also on the iPad, when making changes to the home screen, there is now an Undo and Redo button for making changes.

331

There are a few features that are exclusive to iPadOS 27 this year.

332

It's no iPadOS 26 year, but there are some really nice quality of life improvements.

333

First off, the menu bar got a bit of a rethink.

334

The active app name is now persistent in the top left corner of the screen.

335

I love this.

336

Before, there was no visual way of knowing what the active app was, and now there always is.

337

If you tap on the name of the app or hover over it with the cursor, the menu bar will be revealed.

338

I think this is a good balance between the people

339

that want to use their iPads as a tablet and the people

340

that want to use their iPads with a keyboard and mouse.

341

But you can go into Settings, Multitasking, and turn on Automatically Show and Hide Menu Bar.

342

This will make it so that the menu bar is always there like macOS.

343

To me, I really like having the menu bar in this position always available.

344

It just reminds me that it's there, it's more usable.

345

I can go and check out what keyboard shortcuts I can use or features in an app.

346

The iPad for a long time has been able to run iPhone versions of apps.

347

Now with iOS 27, iPhone apps are able to be a bit more flexible when scaling.

348

This means on the iPad, iPhone updates that update to support this feature can be resized when running in the multitasking or stage manager mode.

349

When an iPad is now plugged into an external monitor, you can access Control Center from the external display.

350

You can do this by hitting the Globe C shortcut on the keyboard.

351

I'm not sure if it's a bug or intentional, but I can't seem to click the top right corner

352

or push into that corner to get Control Center like I can on the iPad's display.

353

Either way, this is one more thing off the checklist to get clamshell mode on the iPad, which I desperately want.

354

Using external monitor support also feels a lot better with the iPad.

355

We'll get into it in just a second, but Apple spent a lot of time focused on improving performance this year and this is one place I really notice it.

356

Windowing on the external monitor feels less fragile and in general everything feels more stable.

357

Plus, windows consistently stay in place when the iPad is plugged in and unplugged from the external display.

358

I spend a long time with my iPad plugged into an external monitor

359

so this is something I am really happy to see.

360

Like I was saying, Apple spent a bunch of time this year focused on performance improvements on iOS and iPadOS, and it's really felt throughout the whole update.

361

There's a lot of really technical stuff, like the new CPU scheduler that's really technically impressive, but I'm going to just focus on some more user-facing stuff in this update.

362

On the iPad, if you use one of the windowing modes, apps open, close, and scale faster and more smoothly now.

363

This isn't just a change to the animation, but the way these actions are actually handled.

364

Some other changes include faster airdrop transfers, faster launch of the emoji keyboard, capturing photos and videos load into the Photos app faster,

365

camera works better in low power mode, a smoother transition between a device when switching from Wi-Fi to cellular,

366

transferring files on iPadOS to an external drive can be up to five times faster, and faster network browsing through the Files app.

367

And there's a bunch more changes Apple has made to improve performance throughout iOS and iPadOS.

368

And you may not notice some of these changes.

369

They're not gonna be big headline grabbing features, But know that they are there and that somebody worked really hard to make the OS perform better.

370

Okay, iOS and iPadOS 27 isn't all about Siri AI and system stuff.

371

The system apps got updated as well and there's a lot of really cool changes throughout these.

372

So let's dive into them.

373

Let's start with the one I'm the most excited about and that's shortcuts.

374

Shortcuts has always had some kind of barrier to get started.

375

You had to know how its block-based coding structure worked.

376

You kind of had to know what an if action was or a dictionary.

377

There was a little bit of a barrier to it.

378

With Apple Intelligence, you can describe the shortcut you want and the system will build it for you.

379

The best way to use this is to describe the results you want to get.

380

If you try and tell it how to do it or what path to go down, that's when it tends to fail a bit.

381

If you describe the outcome you want, it is free to go about it and come up with the results that you want.

382

Shortcuts may not get exactly what you want the first time, but you can keep chatting with it and refined to get exactly what you want.

383

There is one big limitation.

384

Third-party apps are not supported, and that is a bummer to me.

385

I don't know how Apple would do this in the future without indexing every third-party app that has a shortcuts action, but yeah, that is a little bit of a bummer.

386

Now, if you're like me and you prefer the old style of editor, don't worry, that's still there.

387

And you can go into Settings, Apps, Shortcuts, and change the default option for creating a shortcut so that the old style editor opens by default.

388

The use model actions have been updated to use the new Apple Foundation models.

389

These actions were introduced last year as a way to use the local and private cloud compute models

390

along with ChatGPT right inside shortcuts.

391

Now there are two cloud models, Cloud and Cloud Pro.

392

Cloud is the faster but has less reasoning, and Cloud Pro increases the reasoning but is slower.

393

There's also options now to use the broad world knowledge that is a part of the Apple Foundation models

394

And to follow up on the request already so you can go back

395

and forth refining what it's showing you Depending on what you are building you may prefer speed over reasoning

396

or vice versa So take this into account when using these models

397

A change to shortcuts I'm really excited about is automations are

398

no longer their own siloed thing Automations are now actions so these shortcuts live with the rest of your shortcuts

399

There's still a tab in the app so you can see what is active, running, and turned off.

400

This makes sharing shortcuts with automations finally possible.

401

Inside the automation action, you can control when it runs, turn it on, or turn it off altogether.

402

Automations are also part of the describe a shortcut feature.

403

So when you explain the shortcut, you just tell the system that you want it to run at a specific time every day, or run when you get to a location, any of the triggers.

404

There's also a handful of new automation triggers as well, including leaving a specific location, taking a screenshot, receiving a notification from a specific app,

405

or connecting a keyboard.

406

You can also use multiple automations as well, and each will act as their own trigger.

407

If you have calendar notifications set up, you can make a shortcut that looks at the name of the event.

408

If it sees that it has a meeting in the name, you could have it automatically create a new note based on that meeting's name.

409

But I've been really enjoying using the automation trigger connecting a keyboard with my iPad.

410

See, I set up two different shortcuts.

411

One, when a keyboard is connected, it turns on the windowed most multitasking mode.

412

The second is when a keyboard disconnects, it turns off the window multitasking mode.

413

There's also some new regular actions with shortcuts as well.

414

Record audio and notes, send messages to group threads in messages, a new store data action.

415

This allows you to save information for that shortcut to recall later.

416

And if you want this information to be accessible across different shortcuts, you can turn on the global variable toggle.

417

There is also an else if action.

418

You add a normal if action, tap on the icon, and select the otherwise if.

419

This will add a separate path for the if statement.

420

The get what's on screen action has been updated to support

421

all the same options Siri AI supports with the on-screen awareness feature.

422

This is a huge update for shortcuts, and I'm really excited for it.

423

I'm going to make a whole separate video about the shortcuts I've been building with this update, so be sure to subscribe for that.

424

Safari also got some really nice changes this year.

425

First off, Safari can now organize your tabs by topic.

426

Tap the Tab button, then select the Tab Groups menu, select Organize Tabs, then select the option Automatically Create Topic.

427

This will start categorizing your tabs for you automatically.

428

So if you have three tabs open about watches

429

that you're interested in It will group them together in a watch category

430

Or if you're putting together a trip for New York

431

and have a few tabs open of things you want to

432

do It'll start to put those tabs together in a group

433

And as you open new tabs to websites

434

that make sense for a specific category It will add those tabs to

435

that category These tab groups will start to show up when you have three or more tabs in a matched category

436

You can also close whole tab groups at once from the category header.

437

And on the start page, you can see previous tab groups as well.

438

I turned this feature on at the start of the betas and haven't looked back.

439

It makes way more sense for tabs to be grouped like this.

440

Another really cool feature Apple added to Safari is Notify Me.

441

You can set up Safari to check in on a web page every hour, day, weekly, or monthly.

442

It will then send you a notification if anything changes on that page.

443

You can use this to check availability for a product, a price drop, a change in information.

444

This all happens in the background too, so you don't have to leave that tab open.

445

You'll just get the notification, you tap on it, and it'll open that webpage.

446

A feature I honestly didn't see coming is describe an extension.

447

This will let any user describe a browser extension that they want.

448

You use natural language to describe the extension you want, and then it goes off and build it.

449

What I do appreciate about this is it makes suggestions for extensions in the App Store

450

if there is something that already does what you're kind of describing.

451

Proper app extensions will be able to go further than what the Describe extension does on its own.

452

You're not going to be able to tell it, make me an ad blocker, and it goes off and builds an ad blocker.

453

Like, that's a really complex extension that needs a bunch of back-end work.

454

But what you can do is you can build use this

455

to build an extension to extract a specific piece of information

456

and then add it to your clipboard There are limitations to this feature.

457

It doesn't seem to work with other apps I even tried to make one

458

that would save specific pieces of information from a page to an Apple note

459

But all it would do is just take that text and add it to my clipboard

460

There's also suggestions to get started with this feature

461

if you just want to kind of play around with it

462

One thing I want to point out is the iPhone's share sheet button has been moved in Safari.

463

There is now one button for page controls, extensions, and the share sheet.

464

I don't know why, but this is the thing I've had the hardest time getting used to in this update.

465

There's also a ton of changes to WebKit.

466

This is the engine in Safari and every browser on iOS and iPadOS.

467

I'm not going to go into all the nerdy details of this.

468

Hopefully you see a bunch of changes or feel a bunch of changes.

469

If you use web apps, the performance should be significantly better.

470

But the one thing I really wanted to call on, it's been so nice over the beta, is audio from a website no longer interrupts system audio.

471

So you're browsing the web, reading an article, starts auto-playing a really crappy ad with audio.

472

It doesn't pause your music or it doesn't pause your podcast or anything like that anymore.

473

Thank you.

474

Calendar finally got proper natural language input for creating events.

475

It detects details such as time, location, invitees, and of course the title.

476

It doesn't detect the calendar though.

477

So that's kind of a bummer

478

because I use this feature quite a bit in other apps like Fantastical or even my app Parchment

479

in order to change the calendar that an event will be a part of.

480

Existing events can be modified using natural language, and you'll also be able to modify multiple events with natural language as well.

481

It's really nice that they finally have brought this to the calendar app.

482

It's kind of, sort of was there for a little bit, but it was really janky.

483

It's there, it's solid, it works great.

484

Notes got some great quality of life improvements.

485

First, you can now copy and paste as Markdown.

486

There are two new options in the edit menu.

487

copy as Markdown, which will take rich text of the note and turn it into Markdown.

488

Then paste as Markdown, which will take any Markdown from any place and paste it as rich text in Notes.

489

No more needing to use a shortcut to convert either to rich text or from rich text and paste it into Notes.

490

In Notes for a while now, you've been able to link to other notes.

491

Now you can actually link to a specific section of a different note.

492

What you do is highlight the text you want to turn into a link, select add link, search for the note that you want to link to, then select the specific section from that note you want to link to it.

493

This is really handy for linking to big research documents.

494

I love this.

495

Inside a note, you can now add a divider line, long press and select this option.

496

This is good for breaking up a document.

497

Freeform got some small but handy updates.

498

First up, you can set up folders to be collaborative.

499

This way you can set up a group project and don't have to keep sharing individual boards.

500

There's also adaptive dark mode canvases as well.

501

And board previews now load faster along with being smoother.

502

Apple's Mail app got a bunch of performance improvements.

503

The filtering tools are faster and search is really good now.

504

This has always been the Achilles heel of Mail.

505

But now Mail has this new ranking system and does a great job at finding what you want.

506

There's also a new smart reply system.

507

These are the auto responses above your keyboard.

508

If you go into Settings, App, Mail, you can turn on this setting that allows smart replies to imitate your writing style.

509

I get a lot of email, and most of the email I'm replying to needs a very simple response.

510

So this has actually been really helpful in just kind of blasting through a lot of email.

511

Photos got a ton of changes.

512

You can use Apple Intelligence to clean up objects or people in your photos.

513

There are two different versions of this to pick from, a fast mode for small stuff and a high quality version for bigger objects.

514

It does a really good job at this.

515

There's also an option to extend an image to make it a bit bigger.

516

This will generate content on the edge of a photo.

517

In my opinion, this is when a photo stop becomes a photo, when you're generating content for it.

518

I struggle with this.

519

Same with this next feature, spatial reframing.

520

This literally allows you to change how the photo was framed, which can be handy if the person that took the photo didn't do a good job framing it.

521

Maybe you're trying to match up the eyeline with the camera.

522

There are a lot of photos I've taken in the past

523

that I would love to be able to go back and reshoot.

524

But they're the photo.

525

That's what was in the moment.

526

Reframing the photo isn't the photo.

527

I struggle with this from multiple points, but if you want to use it, it's there.

528

I'm not going to tell anyone they can't use it, but it's there if you want to use it.

529

The Photos app did get some stuff I am excited about, though.

530

Shared albums now support full resolution photos, but this does count against everyone's iCloud library that is a part of the shared album.

531

You can save all photos from a shared album to your personal library with one tap.

532

Hallelujah.

533

You can save any frame from a video as a photo now.

534

The Captured by Me collection shows everything that you've taken with your iPhone's camera, kind of like the old camera roll.

535

You can add keywords to photos or videos for search, plus a ton of other small changes throughout the app, like the Photos team cooked this year.

536

In Settings, Sounds, and Haptics, you can now set the volume independently for alarms and timers and alarms and system sounds from the ringtone.

537

No more missing alarms because you turned down the ringer volume.

538

So that's it.

539

That is iOS and iPadOS 27.

540

I wanna know what is your favorite feature in this update.

541

Let me know in the comments below.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
