[Astuces iOS]

In UK and been about 2 hours for me and I’m still waiting.

In Canada too

Also doesn’t look like the general enhancements to Siri are available yet.

I just don't understand why they are doing this other stuff first. Really good Siri is the ONLY thing people can't get a better version of somewhere else.

What do they mean by the camera control allows visual intelligence? How is it different to opening the camera any other way, can someone share?

 

[DrTek]

Open the app

Which app?
Thx

Apple’s version of Google Lens

They haven’t been able to pull off a better Siri for all this time. They are probably scrambling at the minute trying to follow through on the promises of making it more useful.

Anyone get off of the wait list yet?

Still waiting

Siri - on my Mac - has stopped working all together. Possibly because it's downloading all the new 15.2 stuff... he said hopefully...

Siri still works fine on my iPhone (18.1 beta) and Apple Watch (11.0.1), so I hope it's the downloading and not me having killed computer Siri...

What about us, the EU folks here? Are we getting anything similiar or will we get really something called 18.2 but nothing in it?

Maybe stop attacking Apple every week.

My phone is running like crap after this update. Scrolling looks terrible and the phone seems slow and jittery. 16 pro max.

That sucks! That is exactly why I held off this time because my phones have run like crap on Apple’s beta up to this point

I also saw the build number having the letter P so how many revisions it took to get that build is insane and makes me think the next beta update will be even worse

It’s quite possible that Apple is significantly limiting the number of users allowed for those apps. Who knows

I changed my region to US to see if they approve the image creation faster 🤣

 

[cmatuk]

What’s funny is I still don’t get the hearing test from the RC. Maybe is for a few select still

 

[armandxp]

I wouldn’t think there would be too many people trying out this beta since it’s only available for 15 pro’s and above at this point. Not a lot of people on here commenting about getting accepted for the image creation tool. I didn’t update till around 2:30pm EST, and it’s been a no go for me, so far. They hit a ceiling that quickly?

Thats only if you think about this topic as only applicable to iOS 18.x based iPhone 15 pro, and iPhone 16 models. IPads that use the A17 Pro or M1 or newer run AI, so does every AS Mac .

I was thinking the people with access maybe have a 16. I’m on a 15P still without luck

Same - I still don’t have the gearing test

Very true. The last waitlist was a lot quicker. Oh well.

Just got my 16 pro max yesterday. Was shocked to see iOS 18.2 the next day lol

Did you have the latest AirPods Pro beta firmware installed? I was able to see the hearing aid function with the RC on Monday.

6 hours and counting, and still no access.

I'm starting to think they gave access to "premium" testers maybe? Youtubers, SM people and so on to get some buzz going on about the release (since 18.1 is fairly boring tbh) but not enough accounts to make it "riskful" that they get some crazy requestes or people trying to break it right from the start
