Breaks something here and there adds a few emojis, usual stuff
All right, downloading let’s see what happens
A full release of Android is definitely more polished than an iOS developer beta. What’s your point?
And I thought my watch was dying. Let’s hope we get a fix soon.
Edit: just noticed I’m not even in a beta in the watch. Oh well.

I’m not gonna argue here with anyone but I’ll reply to you this:
I’m using a beta since I wasn’t happy with the public release. That’s is your food for thought 💭 tonight. 🤙🏻
Par for the course, the summary email and message feature is only worth leaving enabled for the laughs.
Totally agree: the iPadOS 18.1 is a total mess on an M2 Air with external display. 18.2 fixes some annoying things, but it‘s still a mess.
I don’t need a night to think about that.
I understand beta features are tempting and updates sound promising, but to expect a better experience in whatever regard from a dev beta, even a public one, is fantastic thinking.
If you’re unhappy with the most recent public release that’s fine, but how can you make a statement about „Apple“ as a whole and how it changed for the worse by stating your personal experience on two personal devices running beta software not intended for public use?
The first iOS 18.2 beta literally rendered my SIM inoperable somehow, I thought the SIM was fine and the beta the problem and spend too many hours I should have been at work trying to downgrade and fix the wrong problem.
I don’t blame Apple. I installed something I shouldn’t on my daily driver(s).
Thank you for answering though.
I've used the Genmoji feature more than I thought I would however, it only gives me the option of creating Genmoji of three people, including myself, who all appear in one particular photo. Other people are correctly tagged in other photos but I'm just not giving the option of using them in Genmoji or Image Playground.
Underneath the pictures of the three people it says "Finding People" but it's said that since Beta 2! No amount of turning features on and off or rebooting the phone has made a difference. I'm hoping it's something that's corrected before the final release.

The only real issues I have had with the Beta’s is battery life and some location services issues. Battery has been draining quickly and wont charge to the 95% limit I have set on a Belkin Qi charger which it previously did but will charge to the limit on wired. Logged feedback with Apple. And location services sometimes not working for some automations I have. Oh also slow downloads on the App Store which were way quicker after update this morning.
Several people are limited to a very small amount of photos for me, even when I have tons. I am able to open a photo of someone directly to image playground, but some people are limited to only 4 or 5 out of dozens of photos.
Holy for F-s sake, it's a BETA!!
What crack do you guys smoke around here?
You honestly can't complain about anything with a (Developer) Beta, exception of course being BRICKAGE...
And that's all in my book...
Take what you get, you are getting a pre-release...

iPhone 16 and iOS 18 is so uninteresting for Europeans.
My wife, who's on the iPhone 14PM, updates her phone every two years. So now it was time for the iPhone 16, but I told her not to buy it.
The whole selling point of this generation is AI, but we Europeans don't get it. So no point in getting iPhone 16.
Guess we'll both go for the iPhone 17 next year. If it's interesting enough...
Finally Brexit delivers something!!! Apple Intelligence in the U.K.
(200% I’m kidding!!! I hate what Brexit continues to ‘deliver’. Absolutely socioeconomic vandalism at its very worst).
I’d be inclined to sit tight too. Much as I like shiny features, they’ll be that bit more rounded for 2025. I’m parked with an iPhone 11 FWIW, considering the forthcoming SE 2025 as my upgrade.
Image wand works on my iPhone 16 Pro, not just on iPad as reported in the article. The latest beta has also allowed me to take a hearing test. The previous ones didn’t. But not the ability to use my AirPods Pro as a hearing aid. (UK based).
Did the update this morning on my iPhone 16 pro max and now the flashlight turns on randomly all the time….
OK, that supports my point even more. Someone who thinks the main releases are so unstable has no standing to complain about what Apple calls betas.
