i was on IOS 18 Beta and my phone started to restart every 3 minutes. I took it to the apple store and they said i needed a mid system replacement. I found it surprising because i have an iPhone 14 and I got it earlier this year and within 2 weeks when IOS 18 Developer Beta released, my phone was done. Should I stay off all betas or will public beta be safe for me?
I am on the 15PM, and have not had any major issues with heat and battery performance. However, a family member is on a regular 13, and they are having dismal battery life and occasion hotness.
I’m ready for the public release
I have the airdrop failure on iOS 17.5.1 as well as the phone getting warmer sometimes
IOS beta 2 on iPhone 14PM and iPad Pro M2, for the iPhone, I don’t have any big issue yet other than the CarPlay might change the view randomly, on iPad, I can’t move the shortcut to 2nd page somehow and icons does not display properly.
I'm on T-mobile and RCS is working but it's sporadic at times where it will send as an SMS message and then the next message it will send as an RCS message.
RCS is on AT&T. I have tested it using my Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Maybe the people don't know how to recognize it or they are texting someone without RCS? Maybe it isn't working on non-pro phones but that wouldn't make sense. I can confirm it has been working on AT&T from the start of the activation.
I love the wallpaper… where is it from?

This is overwhelming >)) Epic. Universal. :))
storage bug for me is also on my m1 macbook pro aswell ive noticed, but as for my ipad the storage usage climbs until the ipad crashes and reboots, doesnt seem to be an issue on my iphone 15 pro max right now though last i checked i was around 50GB
I've been using linux for years, but ios 18 is genuinely the first OS release that's got me excited in a long time. So looking forward to this.
i got 18 beta 2 and also got a new card in and the chip thing worked really well
It does have dark and bright icons But I will stick to the default bright icons
Do you know if in iOS 18 they have fixed the issue where iMessages always default to all messages? I ask because, every time I open iMessages, I have to switch to known senders only which only last until the iPhone locks and is unused for about 10 minutes or more.

I'm running beta 2 of iOS 18 on a 13 Pro Max. I have AT&T and my phone shows toggle switches defaulted on for RCS and MMS messaging. I notice this after the beta 2 update.
I use IPhone 15 Pro Max - Installed 17.6 Beta 2 - 1 bug found while charging- It charges up to 80% and says the temperature is high and charge once it cools down. This is the first time I am getting this? Did any one had this issue? I also felt phone got heated, it is hotter than normal and this is first time I felt phone got hot
I'll never update to beta again. Battery has been horrible on my 15pm. My battery went from 95 to 92 in space of a few days.

The beta doesnt really affect battery health like that. However it does cause you to charge more typically early on.
MY only dig on Beta 2 is that I have horrible wifi and cellular connection. I sometimes don't get any connection on any app and my FaceTime callls are horrible and have to use my Macbook which is also on beta and works just fine
Thanks going to hold off until it’s on par with iOS 17. High temps are really bad especially in hot climates

My 15 pro max battery doing great still. 293 cycles and 93% battery health. Not bothered about battery as I’ll change it when need be. Also my geek bench 6 scores are 2970 average single and 7600 average multi. But a lot cooler over here so I’m guessing that helps. Also using beta. Odd bug here or there but running good for a dev beta
Last night I had the black screen of death on my iPhone 14 PRM. On iOS 17.5.1. I had too do a hard reset to iPhone to get it to work again. I have never I had that happen before. It was chargeing on my Anker 3 and 1 charger.
I don't understand why you get a poor battery life, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18 beta 2, 158 cycles and 98% maximum capacity. I had 90% battery usage for 9h of screen active time, and 5 minutes of screen idle time, and I played games! When watching KZread or doing anything else, I have 50% battery usage for 11h hours screen active time and 4 minutes screen idle time. Seems that something is using a lot of battery during screen idle time on your phone... That's really strange. *Edit:* Also, I'm in EU, so maybe some stuff in the background are disabled. When running benchmarks, I have similar results

I’ll let you know if i find anything else.

Hello folks. How do we get the black badges on the icons instead of the red ones. I'm on iOS 18 beta 2, I've set my home screen and icon pack to dark but still have them red, on all the Apps, whether it be on first party or third party apps

As always an awesome video and I can’t wait to get IOS18 in the fall. One Q: How come your weeks in calendar, starts Sunday to Saturday ? A new week starts Monday to Sunday ? 😂
When I add buttons to the control screen they disappear. Possibly after a restart which I’ve been doing to fix the icon rendering issue. I had over 100Gb of system data and the phone started crashing. I had to do a full erase and restore to fix it.
I’ve seem to lost my volume since bate 2 update. I can barely hear my ringer or music through the iPhone 14 Pro’s speaker. Am I the only one ?
I experienced the screen share on my iPhone 14 iOS 17 with Apple Support when they were troubleshooting an issue with my AirPods Pro. I’m glad they are making that available to general users.
Just tested iOS 18 beta 2 on the 14 pro max and the battery drain over 20 percent overnight. They need to fix that asap. On the other side I love the new interface, the dark icons and everything else. Can’t wait for the stable version.

iOS 18 Beta 2 on a 64 GB iPhone SE 2nd gen. The only problem I’ve had is the storage bug. (I’ve had to factory reset the phone twice.) Overall, the experience with apps has been okay. Love the new features!
Can confirm that Sound Recognition eats battery time. In fact on mine it accounts for 30% of my entire battery usage, I have been getting around 7 hours screen time on a full charge even with it on, using iPhone 15 Pro. So that just got turned off lol
I’m using iOS 18 beta 2 with the iPhone 12, and I’ve had issues with the Music app for instance, I added a song onto a playlist which wasn’t available anymore and the pop-up kept on reappearing every time I clicked OK and it got so bad to the point where I had to end up turning off my phone Another issue is sometimes the phone gets so stressed out. It doesn’t even turn out like I would tap the screen and nothing would happen and I tap the button to turn it on and nothing will happen but eventually it will come on. I had an issue in Apple Music with the first beta wear any Hi-Rez lossless audio will immediately crash my phone honestly I thought it was Travis Scott I was doing it, but no, it was the audio quality😂
My iPhone 15 pro max and iPad Air 4th gen keep getting hot and cellular connection is slow, both are running iOS 17.5.1. Anyone else?
Battery capacity on my iPad Pro M2 has gone from 96.11% to 94.88% over the course of a week. I am never ever experimenting with beta tech unless it’s on my iPhone (2 years old so it’s fine i can afford a battery replacement on it).
