They have updated the Maps App


They have also updated the customisation menu on the Home Screen

How stable have the betas been?

How stable have the betas been?

Everyone's mileage may vary, but I've been 100% fine with 18.0 through all the betas. (Can't have 18.1 because I have a plain old plain iPhone 15.)

Maybe some bank apps didn’t work. But now there fine. It’s stable enough not to worry about anything crazy happening. Can’t be worse then iOS 17

I'm a little baffled here. So the latest IOS 18.5 update is ONLY for iPhone 15 users???

I think you quoted the wrong person. The 18.1 betas are Pro only, that’s what they mean.

The .5 should be for both, as long as you didn’t upgrade to the 18.1 betas last week.

Spoiler: iOS & iPadOS 18 Beta 5 Release Notes

You couldn't just provide the Apple link?

I hope they'll activate RCS in Europe this time (a least my mobile provider).

At Proximus in Belgium it was already active in DB4.

Good to know. Thx. No luck here in PL as of DB5.

Hmm, now it’s gone. I’m sure it was there in DB4 because I tested it with an Android user.

It may have been deactivated on Proximus or Apple side due to some bugs in RCS support discovered in DB4 which needs some time to be fixed?

One month till RC. I just hope they won't postpone RCS feature like AI and enable it then. My mobile operator promised its iOS customers to provide RCS. Question is when.

 

[Egregius]

I’m facing issues with screen brightness on my 15PM. Can’t even find the auto brightness switch in settings. Anyone else this problem?

Whoops! Sorry.

So 18.05 is for all users. And 18.1 is the latest but only for all iPhone Pros including 12, 14 and 14?

18.1 is only for 15 Pro/Pro Max, since they're the only phones that will support Apple Intelligence until the 16's.

18.1 is only for 15 Pro/Pro Max, since they're the only phones that will support Apple Intelligence until the 16's.

Thank you. There's another public beta that came out on Tuesday - is this also just for iP15s?

No, that one is for any model that is supported by iOS18. The only release that is Pro only is 18.1.

Thanks GeneticBloom. If this version has the connection issue resolved, I'll jump on it.
