I think I was using a free trial via someone in family sharing and Apple decided I shouldn't be using it and shut down the game.
 
Does anyone have 18.7 on an iPhone 15 Plus? If battery life is good, I will install 18.7.

iAppleBytes has not posted any tests yet, not sure they will with 26 being out.
 
Anyone had any BT issues on 18.7?. Not saying its iOS 18.7 that caused it but my Volvo V60 BT keept saying "searching for Device" while it was still connected.

Just switched back to my iPhone 15 Pro on iOS 18 from 26. With 26 the experience was nothing short of disastrous. I’ve got nothing against the look and usability—in fact, I actually like them. The real issue was battery life. I was losing about 1–2% every 3–4 minutes, with the battery still at 96% health. Anyway, after a solid bit of work downgrading to iOS 18 and updating to version 18.7, my iPhone is finally back to what it should always be. Good battery life and excellent system smoothness. No bugs or odd behavior that I can see. I’d recommend 18.7 without a doubt. We’ll see if 26.1 or later versions fix the battery drain issue.

First time using BT on my new install of 18.7 today. I had problems with my Power Beats Pro. Choppy audio for the person listening to me. I will have to see how it goes moving forward.
 
Did anyone update from an 18.6 to 18.7 using a Mac? If so, did you get a prompt to install something before the 18.7 install would run?
 
Any advice on how I can downgrade from 18.7 to 18.6 using Apple images (hosted on Apple servers)?

Why would you? Do you experience any problems?

Yes. I'm concerned about the dialog I received before the actual installation of 18.7, possible bluetooth issues and flaky cell reception where I always had better. I want to rule out iOS as the source of the problem(s).

Yes, but not really ;)

Both posts were made at the "same time, but the problem started when I installed 18.7. See my post above or this post.
 
Here's a question: Anyone know if the IPSWs for iOS 18.7 are out? So far, I am not finding them anywhere, and I'm only seeing the update available via OTA for anything that isn't an XR or XS. I'd rather update through the full IPSW, so does anyone know if they are available?

There is no difference, you can easily update via the Internet without any problems.

Finally upgraded my iPhone 13 from 17.7.2 to 18.6.2 then to 18.7. On 18.6.2 I immediately had lower cellular signal issues, and resetting network settings only helped temporarily. I even ran into an issue where the swiping up on the Lock Screen wouldn't take me to the Home Screen even though Face ID unlocked my phone..

Updated to 18.7 today and it seems the low cell signal issue is resolved. Bluetooth and WiFi are running fine too. Overall, the system runs pretty smooth and has some nice added visuals and features. Disabling some noise in the photos app makes it acceptable (only enabled media types, utilities, and albums).

Too soon to mention battery life, but honestly I don't pay much attention to it anymore. I disable battery percentage and charge when needed (usually once per day).

In short, 18.7 feels like a solid update!

I'd prefer to update from 18.6.2 to 18.7 using IPSW instead of OTA, but I still don't see an IPSW for 18.7 on the ipsw.me website.
