Apple Seeds Fourth Developer Betas of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 With Apple Intelligence

[NecRosex]

INSANE LAG WHEN TYPING on iOS 18 b4, what the heck? How come it's this bad in b4?

Works fine here on M4 iPad Pro & M3 mbp & M2 iPad Air.

 

[Canezmd]

Yeah, typing is laggy… this beta seems worse than 3.

 

[Canezmd]

And my mail still says summaries are not available after 2 reboots; summaries worked in beta 3.

Safari isn’t just snappier, it grabbed me by the neck, punched me in the face and said “How you like me now, bitch?”

Apple AI does not work on Intel Macs. So I could care less.

*couldn't?

Testing for brevity does this still function can I use it

same and even tried turning off and back on.

Try doing a hard reset, pressing volume up, down and holding power until you see the apple logo. That fixed it for me.

The Type to Siri feature now has auto suggestion bubbles on iPhone that pop out above the keyboard.

Also the writing tools menu fits inside the height of the keyboard. It used to cut off the name before. Nice little changes, I guess.

I had to do a hard restart on the screen directly after this one. I got a pinwheel on clicking Summarize All Notification Previews, then after a few minutes it went to a WELCOME TO MAC screen that just had a X and Continue, and it wouldn't respond to any clicks.

After the reboot it sems to be behaving fine with my 14in M1 Pro.

This is the first update in years that cannot be installed. Yesterday evening it said that it cannot load the personal files and this morning it just says that there is an error.

Does anyone know where the download files of this update are on my Mac that I can delete them and try again? Or has someone a suggestion what I can do?

 

[magicMac]

wonder when it will be out for pubic beta testers. look forward to trying writing tools on my m3 MacBook air.

Sequoia upgrade I get asked for password twice and then it fails...

And then get a second password request, when I enter, it craps out.

Any suggestions?

 

[Tranel]

@jeffjank33 I have the same issue. Sometimes I get the message that personalized files cannot be downloaded and after I will I get the messages you mentioned. I always I am asked for my password twice. Apple support said the usual things like try recovery mode and if you have tried everything for yourself then we are maybe gonna help you ...

I hope this brings the sleep apnea feature to 18.1

Well at least I'm not the only one.

 

[jlpescaq]

Yup, definitely no sleep apnea still in this beta.

So folks that are experiencing this.. try booting into Safe Mode, then terminal and use sudo softwareupdate --all --install

Seems to be working, its downloading, very slowly..

Definitely noticed Apple Intelligence doesn’t work on iPhone now but works fine on my iPad

Turn off, reboot, turn back on. This got it back on mine.

 

[Tranel]

@jeffjank33 Download worked but but then I got an error message. No chance to finish the update.

Didn't work. Hung up at 60% downloaded then froze and nothing happened. Waited an hour, no go. There is something very wrong about this beta. I have turned off any beta downloads in the system settings and will wait until  issues another beta.

If you’re having trouble installing macOS 15.1 Beta 4, try turning off the Find My Mac and Network features. That might just fix the issue for you!

@Martyimac and others.

 

[closet geek]

Public beta is now out

[Tranel]

@edon Thanks! That fixed the issue.
