What was the issue? I don't think I experienced that. I'm using the iPhone 16 Pro

We went 17 years worth of iPhones without these "intelligence" features. Now people are dooming and glooming because its not being rolled out all at once. You will survive without them for a few more months people, I promise.

Also there has never been a version of iOS (outside of 1.0 and 6.0) to launch with every feature announced.
Even under Jobs, iOS 2, 3, 4 and 5 all launched with delayed or pre-announced for a later date features.
And iOS 6, while technically launching with every promised feature, also brought Apple Maps, which lead to their iOS head literally being fired.
Sometimes later is better than never, or frightningly and dangerously too early.
This means that iOS 18.2 will likely get a final release probably around December 9 or 10, 2024.
Hope watchOS 11.2 will be released at the same time, next week presumably, have noticed higher battery drain on my U2 over the past few weeks
I just installed 18.2 and apple intelligence won’t work unless I change the region to United States, I am, in Canada.
Is this normal? 18.1 apple intelligence worked perfectly for me

It's unfortunate that ChatGPT has been **** lately. Paying $20 monthly, only to ask a few questions each month....and wait sometimes 2 minutes for a response. Very unimpressive. Hopefully other options soon...
Email still broken. I get a notification, sometimes if I tap on it, it goes to the email directly. Most times if I tap the notification, it’ll go to the inbox and freeze. After about 6 seconds, it’ll unfreeze and then I can read the email. I don’t remember when it started, but it worked fine on 18.0. Maybe it has something to do with Apple Intelligence.
I am so confused. Why are there so many comments about the Mac? This is about iOS.
it isn't. original article in post #1 is about ios, ipados, macos, tvos, audioos, visionos and watchos
i agree that it can make things confusing with all this bunched together though
By some of your comments appears that ios 18 is gonna remain buggy all its lifetime. Wonder if i should update to ios 18.2 or stay with ios 17 and wait for ios 18.3, sigh.
My iMessages are still not sending correctly and I am not receiving some messages. This release should not go out.
I still don't have a phone that supports AI, so I guess until I get new hardware I am just updating for security features and for fun.
You still get call recording, the new Mail app and plenty of other improvements.
I don’t get the red badges anymore when I get emails. Seems like it’s still happening. Even after a reboot of the iPhone. It’s definitely annoying.
For a moment I read that as RCS and thought hey nice! But I'm betting a lot of MVNOs still aren't supported/supporting it.
Ironically no, that one is slated for last.
After all, Craig only became aware of ChatGPT in 2023, and hadn't used Siri in years.
To me the Mac releases are more interesting. I'm betting at this point more people have Macs capable of the new features than iPhones.
Maybe it's just me. But the M1 Macs have been available longer, and at lower price points in some cases.
Only the people that bought the Pro phone last year or any current new iPhone in the last few months, vs most Macs since this time in 2020.
Can we get multiple user spaces? would be nice to have completely separate spaces. limit the feature to 512gb devices so it's an upsell - everyone wins - apple gets the extra money they want, users get the privacy they want
