The waitlist is one of the worst Apple UX experiences in a long time. They are heavily advertising this feature, and it just is not available in 18.1 without digging into settings. I consider myself somewhat plugged into what's going on in the Apple world and I had no idea this would be the case (I knew there was a waitlist for the prerelease OS builds, but that makes sense).
How would the average user even discover this?
As an aside been sitting on the waitlist for 2 hours now with no indication when it will even activate or become available. Even Ticketmaster has a better queuing system then Apple!

he forgot to mention they are 3-4 years behind in AI
Is 18.1 gonna fix the bug where anybody who messages me on RCS doesn't trigger a badge number on the Messages app to indicate presence of a new message? Or is Apple still being childishly petty about having to capitulate? 🤔
Apple is adopting the TicketMaster revenue model. There are 20,000 people in front of of you.
I don't think that's linked to any specific iOS update per se. They can just push it server-side.
At least Ticketmaster says where you are in the queue and gives an estimate wait time. Been waiting hours no idea when I'll be off the wait list.....
How long does this “waitlist” take? I’ve read anywhere from 10 mins to 2 or more hours.
It’s ridiculous how it’s been advertised all along from launch with iOS 18.1 and US English and when you finish downloading the software, you have to join a waitlist to use features you’ve been promised

Well apple certanly called it a minor update, since they only bumped the minor version number, or is apple using another version numbering scheme, I've always read it as major.minor.patch

I dread the NFC being opened. I know there are good uses but I just know the big banks over here in Aus will inevitably force you to pay through their own app instead of Apple Pay and it’ll just become a less streamlined process just so they can make more money.
Love what? All it did is make my iPhone 16 Pro Max obviously slower, gave me a garish new Siri animation, and… umm… I can’t think of anything else.
I thought this was meant to make Photos smarter? For example, searching my photos for “blue car” showed me all kinds of rubbish unrelated to cars entirely. What on earth?
The only useful function seems to be the photo cleanup, with mixed results nonetheless.
Clean Up in photos is working on my 15 Pro Max, not sure about anything else.

How?
Its not going to work in the UK until we get Apple Intelligence.
Unless your language is set to American etc.... we dont even get clean up.
Did I read correctly, the Apple Intelligence features released today are still in beta?
