Me: how do I turn off my VPN?
Siri: I'm not able to change that setting for you.

That works great.

Also, with B6 I'm still getting these empty boxes at the top when Siri replies. Anyone else?

Managing expectations? They float it's late October and it comes out mid month, they look less late to the game than they all ready are.
Exactly. They love to spin things. “A small number of impacted users” for example.
 
As EU is in ”very good” terms with Apple, even changing region and language to US doesn’t help. If Apple Intelligence is not available in Sweden ( don’t need to be in Swedish) by the release of next iPhone, I will be going for an Android. Why should I pay high price for a device which is inferior due to the region I live in.

No one is stopping you from doing that.

I know. I am sure that many in EU will do the same. I was using only Android between iPhone 4 and 11. As my second device I use a Sony at the moment.
Last few releases of iPhones, waiting time during release was very long in Sweden. I got my 12PM in December as I ordered 3 days after pre orders started. But this year you don’t need to wait for more than a week. So, sales aren’t too good.
 

General

Known Issues

  • Updating from iOS & iPadOS 18 beta 5 to iOS & iPadOS 18.1 beta 1 is not currently supported and will be available in a future iOS & iPadOS 18.1 beta. (133235636)

App Intents

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Apps that support universal links might not open normally and instead open the browser when the user navigates to a URL provided by the OpenURLIntent or URLRepresentableIntent APIs. (133764689) (FB14784347)

Apple Intelligence

New Features

  • When using Apple Intelligence, the new Siri UI might fail to render full screen on large CarPlay displays. (131586542)

Camera Control

Known Issues

  • Installing an app with a Capture Extension while another Camera Control app is already selected might cause a momentary system crash. (135021680)

Files

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Creating local files in the Files app fails in the visionOS 2 and iOS 18 simulators if the host is not upgraded to macOS Sequoia Beta. (132561244)

HealthKit

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: With the introduction of Swift 6 this year, developers who update their projects to use Swift 6 might have issues with their apps, which can lead to app crashes when executing a variety of HealthKit API calls. (131794283)

Lock Screen

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: When on Lock Screen, pulling down to invoke Spotlight does not work. (133404809)

Mail

Known Issues

  • Upgrading from iOS 18.0 beta 5 to iOS 18.1 beta might cause all Mail to redownload. (132930689)

Messages

Known Issues

  • Sending attachments via RCS might not work after swapping SIMs. (136209940)
    Workaround: Users can recover by rebooting their device.

Siri

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Siri result snippets might appear in the wrong position. (135035793)

Spotlight

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Icons in Spotlight might not match icons on the Home Screen. (134088480)

StoreKit

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: The transaction of a successful purchase on the default win-back offer redemption sheet might not appear on Transaction.updates sequence until the next app launch. (133575987)
  • Fixed: In StoreKit Testing in Xcode, the offer identifier in the subscription renewal info might be reported incorrectly for offer codes. (133774710)

Swift Charts

Known Issues

  • Any project that utilizes Swift Charts fails to build when targeting iOS, macOS, or visionOS. (135905498)

SwiftUI

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Scene restoration launches the incorrect scene. (132497400)
  • Fixed: In apps compiled against SDKs prior to iOS 18.0 and visionOS 2.0, explicit arrow edges are not respected when the app is run on iOS 18.1 or visionOS 2.1. Apps compiled against any macOS SDK will still have the arrow edge respected. (133295608)
  • On iOS 18.0, there is a known issue where passing nil to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, after the preferred color scheme is set by a different view in the hierarchy, does not trigger the system color scheme to change. Starting in iOS 18.1, when nil is passed to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, the view indicates no preference for the color scheme and thus uses the system color scheme.
    .preferredColorScheme(isDarkMode ? .dark : nil)

    The view with the above modifier applied prefers dark mode when isDarkMode is set to true but otherwise defers to the color scheme as determined by the system. (133689390) (FB14768320)
  • Now on iOS 18.1, tvOS 18.1 and visionOS 2.1, the View.navigationSplitViewColumnWidth modifier (all overloads) updates dynamically. Previously, the modifier would only be effective once, when applied at the same time the NavigationSplitView was created. If app code was modifying the values passed to navigationSplitViewColumnWidth after the split view was created or logical branches caused .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth to be active after creation, these values now affect column width. As a reminder, though not a changed behavior, on the aforementioned platforms both variants of navigationSplitViewColumnWidth have the same effect, since columns are not user-resizable. (135434989)

Known Issues

  • Using if #available in @WidgetBundleBuilder and @SceneBuilder crashes on prior OS versions due to “unknown OS version.” (136098106)
    Workaround: Disable @WidgetBundleBuilder and @SceneBuilder by using explicit return for if #available checks. For example:
    var body: some Widget {
    if #available(iOSApplicationExtension 18.0, *) {
    return iOS18Widgets
    } else {
    return existingWidgets
    }
    }

    @available(iOSApplicationExtension 18.0, *)
    @WidgetBundleBuilder
    var iOS18Widgets: some Widget {
    MyNewWidget1()
    MyNewWidget2()

    existingWidgets
    }

    @WidgetBundleBuilder
    var existingWidgets: some Widget {
    MyOldWidgetX()
    MyOldWidgetY()
    }

WidgetKit

New Features

  • A control’s default tint will be set to the App/ extension’s accent color, if a tint is not specified explicitly using the tint(_:) modifier. If neither is specified, the control’s tint will be the default system blue tint. (131662481)

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Rectangular complications and Watch-specific custom Live Activity views use the wrong font metrics, causing title2 and title3 to render much larger than intended and largeTitle to render much smaller than intended. Additionally, custom Live Activity views use the wrong default font (SF Pro instead of SF Compact). (135831317)
 
How have they not fixed the extremely slow 5G in Australia. It even impacts out other iPhone 16 Pro that’s on the general release iOS 18. Is anyone else having this issue who has a iPhone 16 pro?
 
I know. I am sure that many in EU will do the same. I was using only Android between iPhone 4 and 11. As my second device I use a Sony at the moment.

You can’t extrapolate sales data based on your personal experience. That’s just an anecdote.

Not that anyone really uses them but photo stickers have been broken in messages since last beta and not fixed in this beta either. The ones I created in iOS 17 are grey circles and if you try to create one it immediately disappears.
 
Does anyone know if Apple Intelligence still works if you're out of the US? I travel to Europe in two weeks. If I install Apple Intelligence now and then go to Europe, will it be inoperable while in Europe?
 
I know it hasn’t even been a day, but man this release seems way better than DB5/PB2. That one had constant springboard crashes, keyboard would randomly disappear (but could still type, invisibly - was interesting to see how accurate I was (almost 100%)), phone felt glitchy in general, rows of apps on Home Screen would disappear. I suppose any of this is still possible, but none of it has happened yet and in this time frame before, I definitely would have had a problem by now on the previous beta.

Hope this is a sign of what’s to come with the future point releases and the RC for 18.1.
 
If in the UK, do i still have to change the region to US… language is nit enough?
 
Is Standby mode working for anyone? It seems I cannot get it to work now on my iPhone 12 Pro….🤔
