I’m expecting to upgrade to iOS 18 [sic] in August or September. It seems to finally be stabilizing.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 18.5 Includes Only a Few Changes So Far

Only the three dots, not the circle.
Yep, iOS 18 should be entering "maintenance" mode, so at least we shouldn't suffer from new bugs.
Was thinking this would be the big one to tie it all together.. I think it's time we have a "snow leopard" release.
Overall, I must say that iOS 18 has been a significant letdown—massive hype with very little to show for it.
Oh well, iOS 19 is just around the corner! /s

this menu is getting longer... why don't they just put all the Mail settings in this three dots menu?
More like modern Microsoft
"Protect yourself from ransomeware with Onedrive. Onedrive is awesome"
If anything, this article removed a feature. The beta 1 article originally listed (and still does) the "group by sender" button, and I corrected them and said it was in earlier iOS 18 versions lol.
My point was nothing new was added/changed, so it seems redundant to post the same information twice. In fact, the article today about the latest beta already has this info also:
Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 18.5 to Developers
Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week...

It’s so annoying that Apple’s apps (many of which are the default apps) are now buried in the in the same section as every installed 3rd party app.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an effect of the EU’s attentions: they now treat their apps the same as everyone else’s in the Settings app.
I still remain unmoved by ios18, the 13PM is doing just fine overall. Camera app is slow to open, so I’m thinking of a “reset” and see if that helps…as I really will not downgrade to 18 until I really see something interesting or a massive exploit.
iPad Pro is on 18, and it’s meh.
We have moved to the plateau that is modern operating systems in the mobile space imo.

After years of issues I bought an S25 on Friday. And it's superior to the iPhones I've been using in many ways.
Alas, Apple’s ongoing credibility destruction process basically results from the above, i.e., an annoyingly forced reliance on content and services as opposed to what they have always been good with: seamless integration between hardware and software.
Now it’s all about pushing you to subscribe to some less-than-optimal crap instead of just offering great products.
What do you mean “less annoying”. Typing the name of the app or setting you want to change is too hard? Or asking Siri for it?
When walking family through tech stuff I'll call it the "UFO button". 🛸🤷♂️
Hopefully it can be named better than "menu button", its common use.
Actually, there’s over 1000 changes in the code between 18.5 beta 2 and 18.5 beta 3. Just because the UI didn’t change doesn’t mean nothing did.
One example I’ve noticed today is that asking Siri “What can I do” when a third-party app is open will fairly often provide a list of things you can do with that app.
