This update broke my Bluetooth connection to my Honda Accord. I tried unpairing and repairing, but I can no longer control music from my car.
Got a tip for us?

Okay, a hard restart seems to have fixed my problem but now I’m getting that bug where my car stereo is getting alerted as high headphone audio level.
he's not the only one here to have these issues, for me it also appeared with 18.4 ; the developers had to change the notification animation and had to break something at the same time, it's horrible now..
Go into your Bluetooth settings, find your device and try switch it to car stereo if you haven’t already.Okay, a hard restart seems to have fixed my problem but now I’m getting that bug where my car stereo is getting alerted as high headphone audio level.

Is bricking more likely to happen with IPSW or with OTA?
The reason I ask is because I never use OTA for any update which is also avaliable as an IPSW. I plug my iPhone into my Mac with a USB cable and use the Finder to update my iPhone's iOS.
Does anyone here update their iPhone using the Finder on a Mac? If so, do you see the iOS 18.4.1 update in the Finder?
The reason I ask is because as of the time I am writing this post, iOS 18.4.1 is not showing up in the finder. My iPhone is currently running iOS 17.7.2. When I click on the "Check for Update" button, a message window pops up saying, "This version of the iPhone software (17.7.2) is the current version."

I tried the standard update this morning when it released but it wasn't finding it so I downloaded the IPSW manually and used the OPTION-Update method.
OTA updates are typically delta updates involving modifying specific parts of the OS. On the contrary, an IPSW update reinstalls the whole iOS, which has more chances of failing as a general rule. But if the corrupted block is part of the OTA, then it might result in the same.
Personally, I’ve dealt with the restore screen many more times with the IPSW than with the OTA, which occurred maybe once. The most recent one being 18.4 RC1 -> Public via IPSW.
I use ipsw mostly and rarely has issues. IMO, ipsw is more stable due to it replaces the whole OS, not the delta update which may result partially error due to complexity of the existing configs & settings.
Doesn’t the full update include that delta update as well?
If the delta caused an error then by extension wouldn’t the full update do that too?
I’m confused by your logic.
I really liked that, because we can now know for sure if there’s something happening in the background
I've had no problems with any version of iOS18...so for me, yes they are.
That started with 18.4. Its terrible
Not new, been around for a number of updates. Sometimes it shows sometimes it doesn’t. Shows for a couple of hours to a couple of days.
I don't know about you all, but my battery life has seemed rotten since the update (16PM). I just did a restart and we'll see if that makes any difference.
