Apple Preparing iOS 18.0.1 Update for iPhone Following Several Bugs

[MacRumors]

Apple appears to be internally testing iOS 18.0.1 for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software update in our website's analytics this week. Our logs have accurately revealed many iOS versions before they were released.

We expect iOS 18.0.1 to be a minor update focused on bug fixes. Issues that could be addressed with the update include touchscreen issues affecting the iPhone 16 series and some older models, an iMessage bug where a shared Apple Watch face can cause the app to repeatedly crash, and iPadOS 18 bricking some iPad Pro units with the M4 chip.

It is unclear when iOS 18.0.1 will be released, but our best guess is the update will be available towards the end of next week at the latest.

iOS 18.0.1 will precede iOS 18.1, which Apple previously announced will be released in October. Already available in beta, iOS 18.1 includes the first Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone, including writing tools, notification summaries, and more. Apple Intelligence is available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and any iPhone 16 model.

This would be most welcome indeed! Seeing a few quirks I'd like to bid farewell to.

Here is hoping this restores the ability to be installed to the M4 iPad Pro... which has lacked the ability to be updated to iPadOS 18.0 for 1.5 weeks now! This is unprecedented in the history of iOS and iPadOS releases and almost nothing is being said about the flagship iPad product and just what the heck is going on....

And for the ProRaw photos (48MP) with native camera; with immense artifacts and pixalated photos! I hope.

 

[AppleUser2]

Good. Just off with Apple Support who ran diagnostics on iPhone 16 PM as mine keeps crashing and freezing after using camera button. No issues found so must be software.

 

[zorinlynx]

Hopefully this fixes the occasional hangs in the Photos app.

It’s kinda odd that I see so many small details on iOS 18 that reflects Apple is not testing their software as they did in the past. A lot of design imperfections as well.

 

[jz0309]

I always appreciate bug fixes, will say though that my iPhone, AW and Mac run fine on the latest release SW as well as my iPad on the 18.1 public beta

Once again huge discussions and people getting crazy about battery life: incoming

 

[Havalo]

The battery life has noticeably gone worse on my 13 Mini since I updated to iOS 17.7, so I'm thinking about upgrading. Although, I'm still hesitant to make the jump just yet…

 

[TechieTaco]

I just hope they fix the calculator, it's bugged on both iOS and Sequoia.

 

[FredTX92]

The 15 Pro Bluetooth glitches have still not been fixed. It has been a year of promises to fix this from Apple.

Translation: we can see Apple peeps creepin' on us! /s

Very cool, I have held off on all the recent updates waiting for a .1 or .2 release based on feedback here. Except for my AppleTVs, apparently I forgot to turn off automatic updates on those.

I tried using the collapsible sections in Noted on my 13PM and it locked the whole app up to be unusable. After waiting for minutes at a time, I was finally able to remove the section and it works great again. Would love to have this fixed as it’d be a solid feature

The touchscreen issues are effecting ALL iOS devices running iOS18 it’s not an isolated issue with iPhone 16. Currently running 14 Pro and have the issue. Also on my iPad Air.

 

[zappa2001]

There is definitely a problem with the iPhone 16 and I assume iOS 18 with WiFi 7. I think it’s preferring the 6ghz frequency and not simultaneously connecting to 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz. My iPhone 15 Pro will connect throughout my house just fine of course usually staying on the 5ghz, and I have to manually change to 2.4ghz on WiFi6e. But the iPhone 16 is supposed to connect to all three but seems to prefer 6ghz and struggle when you’re further away from the router.

"Several Bugs"... Why is it that every time an iOS x.0 or macOS x.0 is released, so many people say there are no bugs and everything is fine? I wonder if they are Apple apologists who intentionally downplay Tim Cook's major lack of concern for software quality control.

 

[Biro]

I’m torn. Part of me would like to stay on iOS 17.7. On the other hand, I’d like RCS in Messages - but almost nothing else in iOS 18.

 

[likegadgets]

Hope they fix "Typing "s" in iPhone spotlight Search bar causes it to crash the search" - rebooting makes it work for a few minutes, Some issue with indexing apparently caused by having Spanish and Spanish English dictionaries enabled.

[segfaultdotorg]

I have never heard of an Apple product having a bug.

 

[Rayansb]

Here's hoping they fix the touchscreen. My pro max is unusable at this point. Typing is a miserable experience.

 

[Ilde]

AW Ultra 2 seems to drain battery faster after upgrading to watchOS 11. Update (fix) needed as well?

 

[bmark]

Apple beta testing process is a joke! Every iOS release comes with .1 updates within a week or two.

 

[yellow8]

Fixes, maybe for this bug I had this morning 😱

 

[Vado]

Hope this fixes the HomeKit bugs with scenes failing via Siri, but I think that might need a HomePod update rather than iPhone update.
