I feel the large icons are too large..at least for me but maybe you get used to it. Apple please give us 3 sizes for app icons-small/med/large maybe and an option to remove icon text/description regardless of size. 🙏🏻

I would say that the flashlight width slider is not gimmicky at all and is actually a useful new feature!

@@pattycarljacksonto be clear, you still need the hardware to do this. Newer iphone have a lens and an array of leds behind it in the flash module, so the software control is simply choosing which LEDS are on or off
🎉🎉 to calendar and reminders linking. This was driving me crazy. I was trying to simplify my life
My biggest beef remains the lack of cross device porting of the Journal app. I'm a lifelong journaler, & the iPad is a natural for that! The iPhone is too small for me to use to document my world.
Hopefully Apple adds more icon designs. Also, transparent widgets would be great too.
Great vid. My main issue is that I can’t seem to access ‘favourites’ in photos with ease. Not a fan of the new photo app if I’m honest.
Just updated to IOS 18 dev beta today. I really like the home screen customization. I have wanted large icons and resizable widgets since I migrated from Android..
Thanks Jeff, your reviews are always so comprehensive and just so much better than all the others. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊
Great video. I’m excited for this update in the Fall! 😊
Jeff soo nice to see & hear your soothing voice!😊
So for the scheduling text message you can only do it when you are texting another iPhone right or no
finallyyyyy text on calendar month view!!!!

18 YEARS later!! Finally indeed!!
Love the hiking trails in National Parks added to maps. Are there any in Canada? About a dozen fantastic trails in Algonquin Provincial Park that we visit frequently, and it would be great to be able to use Maps there.
How about lengthening to time to access jiggle mode.? I accidentally activate it all the time
I like the changes, only big thing I still miss is horizontal homescreen mode, especially on a Max.
Wow! Jeff did a awesome video of ios18! 🙏 Thanks
It was mentioned you can import passwords from another app , how do you do that ??? Thank you
30:00 Thank you, finally I found a video that showed the zoomed-out gallery. I always hope they don't remove that viewing option like they did with the SE2.
I love the Reminders app interface. Glad to see Passwords get the same treatment. I’d love to see a stand-alone Notifications app with the same interface.
Thank u Jeff 😍😘
Love this channel !
I hope in the next update the Contacts & Phone App's UI gets a revamp as well. Also, can the new Passwords App generate a random password just like any PW manager as I can't see anyone does this on their videos
For hidden apps, is it possible to search in the App Store and see if an app is downloaded that way?
Can the transcription feature handle multiple languages? For example, if I'm recording a Spanish class, will it be able to recognize both English and Spanish in the same recording?
Here's hoping that Apple will add the ability to use a first and secondary colors for the tint feature for icons. Having only the option for a black background and a highlight color is limiting. Otherwise, iOS 18 looks like a phenomenal update!! Obviously, a lot of features are well overdue but hey, better late than never. 😀
How do I get the AirPod update
Jeff makes the best videos for Apple stuff
Control center shortcut for locations? Yes or no?
ordering icons/widgets on homescreen or control center is a mess right now, you move one thing from one place to another and fckn every other icon starts teleporting to random other places.
I’ve been debating on getting the beta but I’m a bit worried it’ll mess up my phone because of the bugs. Is that something I should be concerned about or do the bugs specifically apply to new features that I would have to implement for them to take affect?
Is it me or does the homescreen editing seems more stable on iOS 18 beta than on current iOS 17 (UI wise)? I’m quite surprised how smooth everything works for a first beta.
If I lock & hide a app & someone go on the App Store & find out I have the app installed or will it show as a app not installed??
The flashlight is 🔥 I'm digging it 👍🏻😎
Can you still use Siri on iOS 18 beta please answer!
Great video! Big fan of you since iDownloadBlog! Big inspiration!
Won't be using the app icon tinting feature or dark icons. Their default approach to icons is pretty solid already, where it seems apparent that they prioritize easy navigation based on different colors and shapes. Love the new control center, looks insane! The iPhone eye tracking, in addition to Airpods Pro head "gestures" sound really useful. It makes a lot of sense, considering that they already have built in head tracking for spatial audio. I know Samsung kinda had these features years ago, but most people didn't appreciate it at the time
As always, great video from Jeff - the reason I'm still subscribed to this channel. But it's strange that nothing was said about the Calculator. I will now happily delete all third-party calculators and converters, even paid ones, and probably stop using even Soulver.
can the M1 iPad Pro be updated with iPad OS 18?
I wish they improve Freeform for the iPad. In Miro app when you hand write on a sticky note your hand write is ON the note. You don’t have to group the handwriting with the note as you have to in Freeform.
I’m running the developer beta since its release. It’s actually very stable. I’ve only had one issue…I was changing the icons to ‘tinted’ and it froze and then crashed. It’s only happened one time in the 15 times I changed it Other than that, it’s running very smoothly and battery life is good Just missing my call screen from s24u and pixel 8 pro
When apps are large in dark mode, the interface looks incredibly beautiful 4:38
I really want apple to add Game Center icon to ipados
the app store app icon is sticking out like a sore thumb when you choose dark mode. Why is it the only one not changed?
Jeff’s voice is also so calming! 😌
Every video Jeff Benjamin makes is masterful - a treat. And no - we share the same last name - but we aren't related.
Can only schedule messages iPhone to iPhone.
They need to make a feature to change bubble color and add a background image in messages!
This is definitely the most stable beta ever, have not had a single issue, 13ProMax, ditto my iPad 9th Gen.
Still there's no customization options in keyboard, can't change the size or can't remove the border, years behind google and Microsoft keyboard
Fantastic Mr Fox reference
Fun fact: you can even include handwriting under the headers and they will also collapse with it too. Makes a use for organizing handwritten notes
Jeff - How do I get the beta update for my AirPods Pro 2? I have a free developer account, but I do not have Developer Mode showing in my Privacy and Security section. I’m on iOS 18 Dev Beta on my iOS 15 Pro Max. If I pay the annual subscription for the paid Developer Account, will that put the Developer Mode on my iPhone?

You have to enable it under security and privacy after connecting to Xcode.
How about read the receipt in the mail?
Making icons out of widgets and vice versa is pretty cool but moving icons anywhere I’m just meh about.

The passwords app is very welcome. Thank you, Apple
Can you specify a timezone for scheduled reminders and calendar events? Without this you have to manually edit all your deadlines any time you travel.

@@9to5Mac if you're referring to the global one in settings, that is not new but what it doesn't count for is daylight savings. So if you have a meeting scheduled in London, for example, when the clocks change your reminder Will be off unless you manually update that reminder to account for daylight savings.
I am not about to transcribe and I have iPhone 14 Pro Max! Don’t know why 😢! Is it just for American beta?

iOS 18 beta 1 here in KSA STILL NOT COMING 🙄
I love everything about it this update besides the photos app. It’s just way too cluttered now and harder to reach certain things. They should have focused more on smaller more necessary improvements like being able to remove photos from your library after adding them to an album or being able to needledrop a location on a photo like you can on Mac or even being able to change the thumbnail of a video to any frame within the video
Every major OS update I anticipate these videos.

I was sceptical when I read stuff before WWDC about iOS 18 being the biggest update ever. Yeah yeah we've heard it all before. Figured it would be all about the "AI" (ML) stuff but nope, this does genuinely look like the biggest best update it's had in many years. Almost everything demoed here is something I can't wait to use.
Yes! It’s Jeff. 🎊

It's now a standard scrubbing bar (no longer shows frames, but that was pointless anyways).
So iOS doesn’t stand for iPhone operating system?
I briefly thought about going back to iOS after their Al announcement because they seem to be learning from Google & doing it better, but I know I would miss Android and regret it. Plus I expect Google will double down on their Gemini engineering and do something similar to Apple within the next 1-2 Pixel generations anyway, so my next Pixel should be on par with the best phone Al tools or better.

Apple Intelligence features like this are coming later and will require iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max* or later, and iPad/Mac with M1 chip or later. * Unless there's enough backlash like with Stage Manager and they loosen the requirements a little.

When something becomes outdated on Android devices, Apple takes it and tries to make it look they just invented it on iOS 😂
iOS 18 makes me feel like I am using an android version of apple , something like oneplus and other versions.
The worst part is new gallery app, it sucks. They should copy samsung and allow users to order their pics however they want, also 0 improvement in the keyboard, gboard still miles ahead and the option to customize if you nod your head to answer or decline a call is because there are countries in which you nod to say no like in bulgaria
This almost look like old safe mode.
