The one thing I’m surprisingly excited for (after trying it on the dev betas) is notification filtering by AI, but that doesn’t come to all devices.

If you really think about it, Android hasn’t changed their OS that much. Ever since Android 10, Android has only had slight changes. So I think that iOS still looks new, and we have hit a peak in smartphones where there is nothing we can really innovate anymore. Maybe holograms? IDK.
Hi Aaron, my iPhone went black the other day while I was just checking the time. It wasn’t dropped, didn’t get wet, overheated, or anything like that-it was just a regular night. The repair guy told me the screen was burnt out, and I believe him because the iPhone still made sounds and vibrated, but nothing showed up on the screen. I even tried restoring it, but nothing worked, so I ended up having the screen replaced. Do you think this could’ve been caused by the beta? iPhone 13 normal.
Hey sir , I installed ios 18 public beta on my iphone 15 pro ( under warranty ) But if my display goes green / white or anything happens automatically without physical damage Will i b able to claim my warranty ? And is it safe to stay on public beta??
I am an Apple ultra user and still find the reminders app on the watch is very slow and just about unusable. Been like that for years and was hoping the new software would resolve. Not sure if same experience for you - I have a lot of reminders and use them daily but I don’t think that should be the issue.
I have the 15 Pro current with the Beta program. Not exactly which one I am at since General does not tell you. However I find the screens you show are different from those I see.

@@SurreyEnemy1 I mean to be honest the public beta should be in a pretty stable state now with the full version due to be released within the next 2 weeks. If it’s not then Apple have issues so I would suspect it’s fine now to download but who knows!
How stable is iOS 18? People say it’s stable but when the day the official release comes out it’s buggier than the final beta version. Also, why couldn’t Apple minimize and squeeze all of the control toggles in one place instead of having scroll down to see the other ones.
Feel that most normals like myself are not about the customization. We just want something that works every time we go to use it. As long as updates to not make it so we have to learn something new to do the same thing.
On the current public beta I still find the Always on Display is more of a Usually on Display. It acts like my paired Watch is moving too far away and blanking the screen for privacy yet my Watch is unlocked, on my arm less than two feet away, and neither is on Low Power Mode. It doesn't matter if the phone is charging or not. Reported in the Feedback app.
I dont understand apples approach to background processing, most of the processing takes place exclusively while charging and that too if its left in the night, why do they do that? and if they wanted to why advertise battery health tips and other stuff, why cant they follow other android devices and make the background process go on even on battery? Im referring to photos indexing and classification and i suppose even app updates are supposed to happen in that way but very few people actually charge devices that long for the phone to start background updates.
has anyone noticed a change in brightness on iphone 14 pro? like it’s dimmer on full brightness? and halfway down, its like the brightness remains the same?
I haven’t seen anybody mention this yet but it seems that in the iOS 18 public betas you can no longer add multiple instances of the same app icon to different screens. The existing duplicate icons I had before updating to the public beta remained and work as expected but adding any new instances of app icons will remove all other instances of that icon once making it so you can’t duplicate icons anymore. This bug has really thrown a wrench in my daily Focus rotations.
I turned the screen, there was no on/off, I couldn't see it.? And finally, there is no exclamation mark in the search section, which is a very bad situation. Apple makes and breaks things.
They need to make the apps icons system wide like I have light app icons turned on they still show as dark in settings and other places (yes I have dark mode on but not dark mode icons on) 😭
Thank god they finally put the Bluetooth google back by itself. I use my AirPods on many devices so I have to go into the Bluetooth settings all the time.
I had a bug that gave me a "iPhone storage is full" notification, I have a 15 Pro Max 256GB. I looked and Music had completely maxed out my storage for some reason?
Do you have music download turned on? Check that setting cause maybe it's downloading it on the device when you add music to the library automatically :)
