*** The Official iOS and iPadOS 18 Thread ***

As usual I tell myself don’t install the beta and yet here we are…

Good news First Direct bank app works, hopefully other beta releases won’t kill it.

I’ve updated both iPhone and iPad. So far so good.

The AI features are not yet available.

 

[ChrisD.]

I usually hold of until the release candidates.

And won't be here for a while longer, unless you switch your phone to Simplified English.

No option for the beta yet. Think I’ll try it, looks like banking apps are ok ?

Set beta updates to off then try looking again.

Banking apps seem fine so far.

Okay got the prompt for the update. Gonna give it a bash. What’s the worse that could happen.

When the actually update releases, will my phone just roll over to the official release etc ?

 

[Broken Hope]

Yeah you’ll end up on the final release about a week before the new phones release.

Also really hope this is true.

My watch won’t be touching betas until at least a few public betas in, no easy way to unbrick those.

Yes. Although you’ll continue to get beta releases e.g 18.1 etc

Bugger, my 14 Pro won’t get the AI stuff. Both a bonus and non bonus I guess.

Finally!

 

[Mobius 1]

Yes. Although you’ll continue to get beta releases e.g 18.1 etc

I can turn the beta branche off so I don’t get anymore betas after that though ?

Yeah when the RC is released just switch beta's to off and you'll stay on the official releases only.

Ok well iPad is done. Bit anxious to do the 15pro. Still umming-ahhhing

 

[BMox81]

How’s the Calendar/reminders integration?

 

[Broken Hope]

This is a good addition to the passwords app, it annoyed me that you couldn't manually add URL's.

 

[Broken Hope]

Head gestures will take some getting use to.

 

[SpartaP]

I tend to skip Betas now due to bad experiences using them in the past. Mainly excess battery consumption.

But I do look forward to the official release. I'll most likely upgrade to the 16PM from my 13PM.

 

[Broken Hope]

This is new too.

I'd be looking like the blokes from the Budweiser ads swinging my head back and forth refusing every single call.
