Control center with iOS 18 has a new control where one can ring one's Apple Watch from one's iPhone. Mine used to work, but now it's grayed out. I went through the troubleshooting steps. But no go. The watch is paired to the phone and I can ping the phone from the watch, but not the opposite.

I had this issue in the very beginning after installing the glass protector, even after initial iOS update. But then in the morning it started to behave perfectly fine.
It either can be glass protector adhesive issue, or maybe iPhone is doing something in background that forces it to miss some touches, but I don’t see any of this now.
My issue is that bezels are so thin that to activate gestures I need to swipe from the edge of glass protector, which has rough edges. It’s like they didn’t think through the actual use of it, just left the logic of how it worked on the previous model.

I did! It looks good. Sheesh I had no idea it was gonna take that long to get. I have this crappy one on now that I’ll probably keep on until it gets here.
Mine was explicitly not allowing that! It was super annoying. They also had trouble with the stolen device protection and that sort of thing. Bleh. Might actually do the trade in by mail next time if it saves me an hour.

What a mix of precision and uncertainty.
Mine is out for delivery. Says before 12 on the homepage. 2-6 if I click on it. Before 7 on the email. Was hoping to make it to the Apple store today but waiting around on UPS.
Seriously. And the tracker showed him just down the street from my house, upon refreshing he literally teleported to the next town over.
Seems extreme. I'm getting a call back from Apple. They did a diagnostic on my Apple Watch and it was fine. Did you get an iOS update today perhaps?
So I decided to do a speed test on cellular.
That download is almost as fast as my gig fiber!

I don't know if it was caused by iOS 18 or my new iPhone... Unpairing and re-pairing took about 15 minutes, I didn't set it up as new.
I just got off of the phone with Apple Support. Was told to turn off then on 'Access Within App' in Settings / Control Center. I then removed the ping control and added it back in and when I did, it was not grayed out.
That worked for me and was a lot faster than unpairing/repairing. Thanks!
Oh, sorry for the confusion. I meant to say the "cancel order" option is still available. My order status hasn't changed since September 13th.
But someone above mentioned that his order 3-8 Oct is coming in 24th of September, so hopefully our orders will also start the shipping process during the next week
Yeah, dBrand has never been known for their lightning fast shipping speed, lol. But this is the first time I’ve preordered from them. Who knows how long it’ll take… They make excellent products, though. I’m still waiting for my Ghost Case replacement.
No iOS update today. There was an update for iOS 18 yesterday. It was 423.8 MB and was bug fixes and Security updates.
Did you mean a WatchOS? I only had the one from yesterday to install iOS 11.

Oh gotcha my bad lol. I guess I forgot how I worded my question. 😂 oh boy that would be great! Can’t wait to hear when yours ships!!
Sitting at the Apple Store. Used a gift card to preorder. They won’t give me the phone. The system tells me to call 1800MYAPPLE.
I am on a 20 minute hold. As a person who uses ONLY Apple products, I am beyond annoyed, borderline angry and this is just a series of things that have happened lately where I have been left very disappointed with their support channels.
