Admittedly on the iPhone I’m still on iOS 16, but for the past few weeks, I must correct some words pretty often. Sometimes, several times, as I go back, correct it, and it goes back to the nonsense typo. Even after three consecutive corrections.
As a lot of the pundits have said, it looks like Apple got painted into a corner and had to release this stuff a year earlier than they would have liked, maybe even 2 years (with iOS 20 looming). So it’s not as well baked as we might like. I respect them for knowing that and holding back the Siri stuff until next year. I could see it coming with 18.4. I could also see it being delayed until March / April or even WWDC 2025. I’d rather they do that and get it right.
Yep hasn't changed in years. We need an overhaul. If AI is that, I am all for it. And for the love of God please speed up the keyboard. The lag is just ridiculous.
100% agree I want it right, not half-baked. Like you said, Apple was backed into a corner, so this was get out what you can now and develop the rest over time. I stand by my statement somewhere on MR that iOS 19 and the iPhone 17 will be where we really start to see AI make a name for itself. iOS 20 is probably where it's matured to a point that it's solid and useful in a lot of ways.
They'll offer the two programs in parallel, and developers can opt-in to whichever one they prefer. It isn't stated anywhere that iOS 18 beta will no longer be offered to iPhone 15 Pro users.
We will likely find out for sure next week, when 18.0/15.0 beta 5 is posted — if it shows up for AI-capable devices (that aren't already running 18.1, of course), then that's pretty good confirmation that there will be parallel beta tracks (18.0/15.0 for the main public release without AI, 18.1/15.1 for October-ish release with beta-level AI functionality).
I don’t expect it to show up for devices already on 18.1, just as 17.6 is not showing for devices already running the 18.0 beta. But for devices still on the 18.0 beta, it will show up.
Yep, I added that caveat to the original post. (One would think that would be obvious, but long experience here and elsewhere has demonstrated otherwise.)
Not sure if this the case here, but I know I have notice if you use large icons you lose some of the dark mode icons. I know my bank app is dark mode on the normal icons, but if I go to large icons the icon is no longer dark. Otherwise, that is very odd that users would see inconsistency in dark mode icons.
With 18.0 I had all dark icons. Now, with 18.1 they are all back to "normal".
My guess is that they forked 18.1 off 2-3 weeks ago, so we are reverting back to the 18.0 beta 2/3 builds.
I’ve got the same with 18.0 beta 4. So it’s not 18.1 specific.
I have certain apps that are light on the Home Screen (when dark is enabled) but in search the same app is dark.
Well at least they are even for both sides right? 😂
I tried it out... still needs work:
Sometimes it depends on how you write it. They've found a fix for it.
I have a friend that consistently sends me 8-15 texts at once. The majority of times, it’s about nothing. So yes, give me a summary. No I’m not lazy, but I do have a newborn. Besides, last I checked, I still have to read the summary… 😉
