iOS 18.3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
I updated my 15 Pro to 18.3 on Friday, via iTunes.

I’d previously turned Apple Intelligence on when I updated to 18.2, but turned it off after a few weeks because I didn’t use any of what it currently offers. It wasn’t automatically turned on again when I updated to 18.3.

I’ve not experienced any stuttering that I’ve seen mentioned on this thread.

Is it just my imagination or are colors a bit muted with this release? Everything looks just a tad...... duller?

Was thinking something similar.

Not duller, not sure, maybe more contrast.

But I did think display did look different on
My 13pro max, thinking I was imagining it but as someone else has spotted something then maybe something has changed in the display.

There are so many stutters: switching tabs on Safari, scrolling on Weather app, swipe up on photo in “Photos”, Dynamic Island lag, scrolling on notifications screen, Control Center (when tap “Add a Control” and try scroll), and stutters on so many 3rd party apps (animations and scrolling).

But some people don’t notice this, maybe you too.

I see these too; what I’ve observed is that stutters occur during the first instance of a given action.

An example: the first tap on the safari tab view results in stutters but subsequent taps on the tab view rarely, if ever do. It’s almost as if once the action is cached, it no longer stutters (or rarely does).

The same occurs with other actions across the OS.

New one …
iPad Pro 11 M4
AirPods Pro 2

I can no longer get the battery widget to display the individual battery level per AirPod. It shows it as a single item.
I’ll check on the 15PM later.

I tried forgetting them and reconnecting with no change. :confused:

For me it only shows them separately if they have a different state of charge, or if one of them is out of the charging case and the other isn't.

Unlike third party password solutions Apple provides no batch import/export function so in 2025 if I want to attempt a network reset I must manually share each wifi password into another app like Notes. You would think if Apple recommends this workaround and cared about its users they would provide an easy solution,

Apple knows on my device my sync icloud settings. I don’t know why they don’t maintain them through logout/login except it is a dark pattern for me to use their cloud solution.

They could try releasing quality software.

WiFi passwords are stored in the iOS Passwords app now, so even if you reset all settings, they will still be saved there…
Also, you can batch import/export from the Passwords app now, as of iOS 18.2

Thanks. I played around with that and found the following: I first dropped one to 95% and left one at 100%.

Both in the case shows 95% (lowest value).
Both out of the case shows 95% (lowest value).
One in case and one out shows the true values.

Looks like a revised build for iPhone 11 models 22D64

Yeah, there's a thread on it. Is there a way to check the build number before installing? I'm still on the RC and don't want to waste my time installing the update that's been red-badging me since only to find out that it installs the "old" one before immediately prompting me to upgrade again.

Although, as Apple are - as usual nowadays - refusing to say what's in it, I'm tempted to ignore this one too. I've been waiting for 18.4 beta 1.

 
15PM and iPad Pro 11
App Store

Occasionally I am getting a “Duplicate transaction” warning when I get something from the App Store and some in app purchases.

Check my AC and not seeing anything Abby-Normal
 
So many bugs on my 16 Plus. Apple needs to seriously figure out how to polish iOS 18. So many hiccups here and there and camera black screen and unresponsive sometimes. Ugh.

Glad it’s not just me at least.
