Apple Releases First iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Public Betas

[one more]

Anyone know if banking apps are still broken on this beta? Any chance anyone has tested the PNC app?

The PNC app works, according to this thread:

Interesting as this morning I went into DFU mode to revert from developer beta. Even the Apple Store app was immediately crashing. Hope the new ones are better.

I had the developer beta on my ipad and now going to install public on my iphone. Had no issues interacting with eachother while my iphone was on IOS17 and Ipad was on IOS 18.

Thanks!

Is it worth switching From the dev beta to the public one? Is it more stable or no?

Pretty sure they are the same.

In past years, hasn’t it been the case that there’s usually a two week gap between PBs 1, 2, and 3? If so, that might factor into someone‘s decision about whether to quickly dive in now that PB 1 is here.

“The build number of the first public beta and the third developer beta of iOS 18 is the same: 22A5307i.“

I always think that (in this case) they are 3 Betas in, so it’s probably fairly stable for the Public. At least Beta “stable”

I’m disappointed that iPad Pro 2017 isn’t supported… it can obviously support it, there is no slowness at all on iPadOS 17, and the iPad 7 has a lesser chip but is supported

I have an iPad 7 so I can't complain.
With 32 Gig storage, I had to remove even more apps.
Already had a calculator app but I will probably like the password app. Looks pretty simple, like it could have been done before. Anyway my very low battery is getting juiced up.

Oh so tempted!

I successfully installed it on my Watch Ultra 👍, iPad Pro 👍, and Pro Max 👍.

It looks like call recording is not yet in the beta...

Yay!!!

Showing up for me when I go under the home app. At first it didn't then I hit the slider from on to off and back on for the beta updates and it showed right up.

Thank for the info. Going to try again.

Edit: this did the trick!

Alright I caved. Download in progress. 🤓

Live activity chronometer is back?? (Dynamic Island chronometer)

It's wild how you are that worried about what someone else does with their device...

I don’t care one iota what other people’s devices look like. But I can dislike poor design decisions like this, or the Pontiac Aztec, for example. Both examples of companies signing off on poorly designed products.

I am hoping that it runs well, and that people express that here. Then I will install it myself.

Apple today provided the first betas of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to public beta testers, bringing the new software to the general public for the first time since the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Apple has seeded three developer betas so far, and the first public beta includes the same content that's in the third developer beta.

They've seeded four developer betas, counting the one from today.

Toms says it's still somewhat unstable. Or at least some of the apps in it are. I haven't read the dev beta 3 ver 2 reviews though yet.

The version of iOS 18 that Apple is releasing to the public is much more stable than the initial developers release that came out right after June's WWDC keynote. Yet, bugs persist, with apps occasionally crashing for no apparent reason.

Saying "Siri" or "Hey Siri" is not working for me in iOS 18 Developer Beta 3. Anyone else having the same issues using Siri? I cannot use the mic to dictate a text either. I tried turning Siri off and back on to retrain it with my voice, I also tried doing a Shutdown and restart, nothing works. I reported it to Apple when using Dev Beta 2 and again today using Dev Beta 3.

"Siri" and using the mic to dictate text works for me on my iPhone Pro Max, iPad Pro, and Watch Ultra.

So besides the nasty looking app icon colors and the calculator, is there anything else?
