iOS 18.1 RC ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Mlrollin91]

My iPhone 16 Pro Max is running surprisingly cool. Battery still says it is finishing update in the background, however, it seems to be running significantly better than 18.0.1.

I’m on AirPods Pro prod firmware and it worked.

I’m in 7A305 which says it’s the latest (pro 2 usb-c case) but nothing showing up. Region set to US for Siri/AI which has been enabled from a few betas ago

iCloud tab syncing still not working for me on any updated device. Updated my feedback with crApple.

I always reboot my phone several times after an update. Seems to help.

Strangely, it looks normal on my phone (16 Pro), but not on iPP with “More Space” enabled.

Edit: Just swiped down and it looks normal now, with “More Space” enabled. 🤷🏼‍♂️

RC is always a "clean" install meaning it downloads the whole IPSW.

Why? What’s the difference if we waited till next week?

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the more space stuff. It sometimes glitches - the bug has been around for ages.

is AI supposed to be in the UK as its not in the EU or is it being considered part of EU from Apple’s side? For now I have it set to US english as a workaround but I miss my Irish Siri voice

I miss my Irish voicemail greeting.

Guess it’s the new “square notifications” bug.

Photos App Clean-up requires Wifi? Is that a one time download or every time I want to use Clean-up I need to be on WiFi?

I believe it’s every time.

One time download.

It's a one time download.

Incorrect. Only to download the cleanup file the first time. After that you don’t even need to be online at all.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere…does anyone know, if I install the RC, will my AirPods Pro 2 update to the new firmware for the hearing test? Or will that not happen until the official release of 18.1?

Once you’ve set up AI you can change the Siri voice to any country instead of the US. Just reread your post. Voicemail 😁 scrap that then!

Where do you find the hearing test, i am on 18.1 now and airpods just updated but cant find it, wonder if its region restricted i am in the UK

You may have already looked but if it’s there it’s in the Health App, under the Browse tab, scroll down to Hearing.

 

[papbot]

Got the latest update on the AirPods that came out just now but cant see how you would start the test, is it in settings - got a feeling this maybe a US only feature for the time being

It’s accessed from the Health App, under the Browse tab.

 

[Dirty Mac]

15PM got a bit toasty with this update. 1st time in awhile.

If you have your AirPods in you can also access it from your AirPods settings at the top of the Settings page.

And they are the real deal.
