Anyone figure how to use writing tools in pages. If I select text it shows up, warns me not intended for this type of text, does rewrite it in preview and if I click replace text it doesn’t replace it. I assume known issue and has to be integrated in a future release.

Yes. As far a I understand, you're right.

The changes in 18.1 are :
  • The design (rainbow colors)
  • You can stutter and it'll still understand
  • You can change your requests in the middle of a sentence and it'll understand the latest request
The real Siri upgrade will be after 18.1.

It also just sounds a lot smoother. Much more natural sounding responses. I did a few side-by-sides and old Siri sounded very jerky in comparison.

As a 15P user if iOS 18.1 drops a public beta is that what the new phones will ship with and skip 18? I don’t want to deal with a version mismatch when the new phone arrives.
New devices ship with the major version for that year, which is a composite of the last Beta RC and some confidential features for the new device (Dynamic Island features for 14 Pro were kept to their own branch, for instance), but ultimately, as the OS is being installed on these devices shortly, pre-release versions, especially pre-Public Beta versions are unsuitable. There have even been issues, including fairly recently, with devices launching and requiring a day-one patch in order to function, especially restore from backup, properly. Issues like that can illustrate how the "iOS [x].0" that the devices come with can vary ever-so-slightly from the version released to the public around the same time. That is to say, any bug fixes made late this month or next month, especially any new features still in Developer testing, won't be present on the launch units. You'll likely be waiting 4-6 weeks for the official release, but simply doing Set Up as New and signing in to your Apple ID will enable you to update to whatever 18.1 Developer Beta is out then, at which point you can use Erase All Content and Settings (but not your eSIM!) and Restore From Backup with your 15 Pro's 18.1 image.

I'm probably in the minority but I have little to no interest in AI and this makes me feel like I've now become my parents/grandparents generation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Something about AI just intimidates me 🤷‍♂️ I am in no rush to go from iOS 18.0 to 18.1
If maybe there was just an option to turn off AI……………

Hoping the cellular dropouts have been resolved. Happens every few days. But it’s a beta so that’s what bug reporting is for. And battery life improvements should come later.

Does anyone know how to disable dark icon in lock screen ? I have my icon in light mode in Home Screen but Lock Screen has them in dark and I can’t find any settings for it.
