Could Apple have a bit of consistency. The iPhone, iPad and MacOS, home screen time, WiFi, all in different places, naming a couple of the inconsistencies. Moving the numbers and emoji keys a pain. What No one at Apple talks to the other products...geez!
 
The only thing I want fixed is the absolutely absurd method for selecting your camera in FaceTime. This may possibly be the dumbest thing Apple has ever done.

How about this one. If you have an Apple Watch you get an option to transfer calls to it when you tap the speaker button. This means to actually put your phone on speaker you now need two taps instead of one. Who would want to transfer from phone to Apple Watch. I understand the other way is the most common.

My XS clock app alarms (timer, wake-up) are too quite on 12.0.1. The Ringer & Alerts volume slider is maxed. Anyone one else experiencing this?

I actually notice my alarm volume has been lower on my 8+ since I updated to 12.0

In some cases it can be related to differences between larger and smaller screens and/or ones with notches and those without. In other cases something could simply be related to a bug of some sort.
 
Yeah you're 100% wrong. Apple's displays are well calibrated, they match D65 well. They are supposed to be this warm.

The problem is you buy cheap PC monitors which are set ridiculously cool, so they appear to pop out in the fluorescent lighting of big-box retailers.

I had the same surprise after I started calibrating my desktop monitors.

I prefer to keep all my devices on the warmer side and less cool/blue on the screen. Far less fatigue on my eyes, even during the day.

I’m glad Apple devices have this option built in.

The same thing is happening on my Xs Max. This should be interesting. I’ll have to dig out the old analog alarm clock.

After some testing I see when the phone is locked the volume is up, however when it is unlocked it’s quiet.
 
I have a 8 plus and I had lots of issues with WIFI, especially the 2.4g vs 5g thing as soon as I installed ios 12, so its not just XS phones.
I’m on a the 10 and my phone has trouble staying connected to the 2.4GHZ band of my router, but no problem staying connected to 5GHZ

Same if you have a HomePod or a MacBook, etc. Very annoying indeed. I want my 1 tap Speaker Phone !
 
With this update my phone doesn’t let go of the 5Ghz connection even in the farthest corner of my home. It should switch to 2.4 but still tries to keep the 5G active and ends up showing 4G.
 
This website continues undaunted to put old videos when they talk about updates. We are talking about iOS 12.0.1 and they put a video related to iOS 12.0.0 with the only unpleasant talking cadence guy they have. I wasted again my time watching this useless video, and I will never do it anymore. What a pity! they make very nice and interesting articles but they ruin everything with videos.
Fortunately, I found this guy on youtube that regularly publishes a detailed video about any update.
Thank God for making hardworking guys too!
 
LOL... There are so many problems with this that... just wow. Thanks for the good laugh.





Yep, just another 2018 created troll account. These are getting way way way too common here. Not sure what it is about Apple products that get people to sign up for accounts on Macrumors and complain about Apple. But it is way beyond old.
I never really understand why Android fanboys love to come on Apple websites to bash Apple products. I've also never really understood the Apple haters who like to pretend like they bought an Apple product or are long time Apple users who then say they're never buying Apple stuff again. This is something I've encountered since before there was an iPhone.

That’s what I asked myself too. None of us Apple People would go to an Android forum and bash the products, at least I‘m not aware of it. And i don’t care about any Android devices at all.
I just think that those haters are too broke to get themselves Apple products and they try to compensate that with showing hate.

No fix for the stupid FaceTime back camera button?

I know that the camera switching sucks in iOS12 on FaceTime but why „a fix“ cause this was made by Apple on purpose and it ain’t a bug.

COMPLETELY AGREE!

My parents, grandparents, friends, peers, EVERYONE HAS A FREAKING PROBLEM with that switching.

Maybe it's super responsive and intuitive on iPhone X's (and newer) but basically, not only is it hidden but also quite laggish, so to say.

I think that was his figure of speech.

He considers this switch so dumb that he doesn't believe a sane person would do such moronic implementation. Ergo, he thinks it's a bug, hence a fix is needed.
 
A shame they didn’ t fix 1080p24 playback that stutters when auto brightness kicks in on YouTube , ITunes and Netflix .

Just try it, move around while playing 1080p24, forcing auto brightness to kick in due to changing environment lighting. It stutters and gets very jerky.

I hope they will revert back to the old way to switch between cameras in FaceTime soon.
 
I completely agree with all the negativity towards the FaceTime switch cameras change, it was so easy and intuitive, why make it so much harder?
Could it be related to Group FaceTime, ie, maybe because the same action (tapping the screen with your own image on) does something else while on a group FaceTime call? Just wondering if there is a reason for it...
Haven't seen any feedback from users on 12.1 Betas regarding that.

Glad they released 12.0.1 to quickly fix the chargegate bug, it was so annoying they couldn't wait for 12.1
Not sure it solves the LTE issues some people are experiencing, they mention wi-fi but not LTE and I guess it isn't the same problem, even if people struggling with LTE had also the wi-fi issue.
If they were able to fix it so quickly it isn't antenna related, while the LTE problem may be, according to some MR members Apple is getting in touch with people asking them to send logs, so they need to take their time and come up with a fix. I think dealing with LTE isn't easy at all, and they cannot risk to release a quick fix that may solve the problem for some users and introduce a new set of problems for other people.
