Time for some dopamine rush

Installed. Is it too much to hope this improves battery life on my 15 Pro?

 

[LiE_]

Fingers crossed it unbreaks Mail.

Keep getting beta 3 even though i have left the beta programm over a month ago, ios 18.2.1 not showing , any tips on how to get it ?

iOS 18.2 removed RCS support on my iPhone 14 Pro Max running on T-Mobile. iOS 18.2.1 didn’t fix it so far. Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes? Thanks.

Is a new version of macOS out as well?

 

[Bladery]

When it’s 500Mb big, does it contain really that much of new code? If so, it indicates for a lot of bug fixes

It most likely the final build of 18.2 if it’s 7-8gb

That'll probably either tomorrow or next Monday

 

[Benz63amg]

How come no new update for macOS as well? It could use bug fixing as well

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Small one,

Hopefully something about the native email app in it, innit 🤣🤣

 

[AnthonyAnt]

I hope it fixes the flickering/shooting rainbow shooting lines! Been to the Apple Store twice with no fix. Did a restore as well. It's definitely software based and I've been waiting since September when I receive the phone. I just want a fix for it so badly. Been such a horrible experience so far with my 16 Pro Max. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

 

[Gracjan138]

guys, how about touch issues with 16 pro / maxes? is it better now or no difference?

 

[chickeneaster]

I've been running the iOS 18 Betas since day 1 and haven't had too many crazy bugs; when I downloaded the Golden Master for iOS 18.2, everything was fine, but around the time the final release came around, on my iPhone 16 Pro, I would hear the notification sound when I received a text message or iMessage, but the actual message wouldn't show up on the Notifications page when it was locked and as soon as I unlocked it, it would pop up (along with the X amount of minutes ago), which is super weird! Hope iOS 18.2.1 fixes this 😁😅

 

[JonathanParker]

18.2.1 has fixed the Face ID delay issue that I had.

 

[Captain_Awesome]

Hopefully it fixes the issue on group messages that are set to "Hide Alerts" but still receiving the notifications.

I have a 16PM on T-Mobile and have fully functional RCS. Just update to 18.2.1 and still working.

I’m also not really satisfied anymore with the 15 pro battery life. But doubt to see big changes here.

Ostensibly fixes bugs so "important" they can't even be bothered to tell you what they are.
