Google Lens has had the feature for more than a year now and it's incredibly useful. I wonder how the accuracy of Apple's version will compare.

Does Google lens also recognise text based on local models? I am not so happy about the idea of having Google analyse all my photos.

I just tried it with internet turned off in both the photos and standalone app, and it did not work.

The RC had a lot of bugs and was unusable for some users on r/iOSBeta. The actual release is indeed two builds newer (19A346) so hopefully they've fixed these issues. Edit: looks like it's only available for people seeking it out[0]. Maybe they won't auto-update till 15.0.1? 0: https://i.judge.sh/troubled/Flam/YOWIKKHUYu.png

A big red flag that this is buried in Software Update... I would wait until the next point release if you value stability over everything else for your primary device.

Is apple’s photo search any less terrible now? Dunno if anyone else suffers this? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Finding a years-old photo to upload is TERRIBLE. It's trivial to do in Google Photos, but then getting a handle on the photo when using the "photo selector" widget to upload it to Twitter or an existing email is horrible. I do this workflow dozens of times per week and the best I can come up with is: 1. text se…

Can you give an example of the type of search where Apple photos fails but Google photos succeeds? I only use Apple photos, but it supports my use case of date/location/"object detection" search, but wondering if I'm missing out on something much better.

Object detection is much more broad in Google Photos and complex queries are in a different league ("dogs in new york city")

Did they removed the code? commented it or defaulted it to off for now but the code is there and ready to scan.

I would assume no. People decompile binaries all the time and would likely catch it. It also could introduce dependencies and bugs that would require QA work and dev work.

I mean they just announced it is delayed, didn't they had it enabled in Beta for testing? Could cause more problems if you remove it completely in a rush.

Warning to those with AirTags. Mine are gone from Find My. When attempting to reset one of my working/paired tags before the upgrade, I get a Bluetooth error when trying to set up. So all of my tags are dead right now and will not connect to my phone.

However a friend who had one of my tags for a couple of days gets the notification that my tag was with them and to tap to contact the owner.

Does extensions on iOS safari mean I can finally get ublock origin on it?

I don't know much about ublock, but I've got a Safari content-blocker set up that pulls from a custom set of easylist files and blocks all requests to those URLs from within safari
