no 18.1 till october

Like not being able to put a 2x2 widget in the middle, or being able to shift it down one row?

what the hell?

Yeah. It's actually worse than before they tried to implement it because everything just goes all over the place now. The only way I've been able to make it work is to start with a blank screen and then build it from the top left down. Anytime you drag an icon or widget over another one, everything scatters.

No thanks until Friday, not screwing up phone transfer to the 16 Pro Max.

It'll be fine. They've been packaging iPhone 16 versions of it. You just need to update your new iPhone before transferring over.

no 18.1 till october

18.1 in October is still speculation even if thats correct.
its likely we have four more betas.

Can't see anything on macOS 15.1? Is beta 4 really available?

Same, my macbook pro isn't showing me the latest update.

It's available if you have updates pointed to macOS Sequoia 15.1 Developer Beta that all AS Macs meet hardware requirements. Obviously you have to sign up for the Apple developer access, which you can do now without annual fee.

Took 20 days since beta 3 seeding , but we are all happy beta 4 seeding arrived today finally.

Please note with this beta 4 has become unified again. Older devices will be able to use it separately from AI.

Yep Son has iPhone 15 and just downloaded 18.1 beta 4

Battery life is better. I've already gotten 15 hours screen on time since installing this update 10 min ago.

 

[Mansu944]

Is apple intelligence the new Siri? Does it use the same Siri interface?

 

[DougieS]

My M1 iPad Pro is stuck on "Updating account settings..." following updating to this beta.

I’ll double check to see if anything has changed but my s/w updates have been set to the 15.1 beta. I’m currently on beta 3

 

[xxFoxtail]

Whats new for my 14 Pro? Will I get the new mail app?

 

[Mayco]

As an EU user, Sequoia 15.1 is the first Apple Intelligence experience. On macOS the "cleanup tool" performance is really bad... Reminds me of the Photoshop fill functionality from 10 years ago.

 

[Realityck]

Partially, this is the only benefits so far with AI in 18.1 betas. You'll have to wait for 18.4 to be in beta test to see the new SIRI really.

• A few Siri enhancements, including improved understanding for both follow-up requests and when you stumble over your words

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

Does anyone know if the 16 Pro Max will ship with 18.0 or 18.1?

Probably 18.0 RC

 

[FilthyPoor]

Great to see much faster downloads and installs.

 

[DMG35]

I ended up just going back to 18.0. I didn't really see much of a point with 18.1 and my battery life was pretty poor. Seems much better back on the official release of 18.

When I get my new phone on Friday, will it be an issue transferring and setting it up if I have the 18.1 on current phone? Asking since the new phone will only have 18.0.

Yes, you'll need to update the phone to 18.1 before you restore your backup.

That tool can't artificially create correct background from interpolation algorithms with larger areas of missing information. It's as this image shows the left girl with the missing arm on the right image.

Gonna wait until the Public beta to update from Beta 3, unless it takes too long 😂

Apple AI on iPhone has stopped working for me with beta 4

 

[skit911]

yes the beta 4 seeds allow non-AI installations rather then separate build cycles previously.

Update it first
