Those of you on iOS 18.1 beta 4, is this specific issue fixed (selection of any light colored wallpaper results in the inability to see the top most details of the device such as carrier, signal strength, battery percentage, etc.):

Thank you!

Still the same. No change.

Anyone else still getting "apple intelligence is downloading"?

It's been about 18 hours now... everything was working fine on BETA 3.

Just updated.
Siri is completely gone. Can’t be used.
I have three ear icons in scroll down menu.

Feels a bit snappier though

They've replaced Siri with Hear-i.

They've replaced Siri with Hear-i.

Well that’s just unheard of.

Mine is not downloading anymore. I've probably had the update for the past 16 hours now...

iPhone 15 Pro.

I buy mine outright and gift them (family / friends) when I decide to move on.

Dang $...

That’s interesting. I can’t comment on that since I haven’t encountered any problems with the Wi-Fi on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Have you tried the usual troubleshooting steps: turning on and off airplane mode, turning Wi-Fi off and back on, and/or restarting your phone? If you’ve done all that, you could try resetting the network settings on your phone. To do this, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset Network Settings. This usually resolves any cellular or Wi-Fi issues.

I had tried all of the above. Several times. Even reset network settings twice. Figured it was just a bug in machine.

Happened again last night.

Now something I tried last night and seems to have improved the situation (for now), I changed Private Wi-Fi Address from Fixed to Rotating. We'll see long term.

You mean Ear-i

Well that’s just unheard of.

Sounds pretty serious to me.

Have you turn it off and back on? I had that yesterday and doing that got rid of it.

Well... I tried yesterday and that didn't work... but just did it again and it's fixed. Thanks!

Something like this happened to me on beta 3. I had to go into my iCloud section (in settings) and accept the new service terms. Then everything started working again.

Does changing your region, so AI works, effect your e-sim, does anyone know?

Currently UK.

No, I have an EE eSIM but USA region/language with no problems.

@Pearsey There’s 2 now 🙄

One for the NSA and the other for the CIA. They don’t like to share.

That’s the beauty of a well designed AI. You don’t think much of it but take it away and it becomes obvious pretty quick.

And that’s exactly why I think Apple is doing it the right way. It’s not as flashy as Microsoft, Google and OpenAI are doing it, but once you clear away the debris of discarded features, Apple will probably be the one who provides the most quality to their customers. As per usual.

So there are no AI settings on my iPhone 13 then? Im kinda wondering what this update brought for an iPhone 13.

What does a X.1 usually bring? Bug fixes and more bug fixes.

I somehow lost Apple Intelligence. Siri is back to being a ball, summaries are missing systemwide, and the switch for it is turned on with no change. Tried turning it off and on but no dice.

Good to know that AI failing isn't system-debilitating!

I got the same but eventually disappeared. It all worked fine too.

Can anyone check if there is an issue locating people with find my? After updating to this beta I am only seeing the last location prior to the update.
