RCS is useless if group chats with otherwise RCS capable android people still fall back to SMS
Agree. Depending on how (bad) the Photos app is will determine whether I keep the iPhone 16PM I ordered or return it, and stick to iPhone 14PM and iOS 17.
The Customizable Home Screen looks ugly as f…
I am a stickler when it comes to photo organization.
How drastic is this Photos App makeover?

Weird. Most feedback I’ve been seeing is that it’s in much better shape than 17 was.
Any of those recipe websites have to be the worst websites known to man. From the stuff that pops up to having to scroll down about a hundred times just to get to the recipe.
do I need to run this message through some sort of decoder system??
Wish I had done it with iPhone 12 mini. I'm not sure whether it's the updates or what it is but the battery life has gotten worse for me and was much better back on iOS 15.
What a strange example used to show iMessage enhancements. Bro must've went into the slide in a full scuba diver suit, with a tank.
It's a disgrace isn't it. What's the point?
Unfortunately those who usually wait for the .1 release will be beset by bugs introduced by the AI features.
I 100% welcome the Passwords app, it’s long overdue and should prove very useful.
RCS also very welcome although I mostly use WhatsApp so it won’t affect me too much.
Most of the other changes look like a bunch of nonsense we don’t need. Changes to the Photos app sound scary, and will annoy me greatly if it’s slower or more convoluted to navigate than the old one.
Might hold off updating until I’ve heard consensus reviews, particularly regarding the Photos app.

Been using 18.1 for about a week only because I wanted Apple Intelligence and for a beta it's been running flawlessly so far overall. The same colour tinted icons looks terrible but I love the dark mode icons, very simple tweak but it makes such a big change to the look it makes it feel like iOS has had a big UI update because the UI has felt stale for many years now.
It’s what the kids want now days. A brightly coloured phone case is not enough, you need app icons to match!!
Agreed. A dedicated Passwords app is very convenient. No need to dig thru the Settings and Safari to find my saved passwords.
The other things I'm excited for is being able to place apps on any tiles, and the rainbow time on the lock screen, but that's about it. iOS 18's main focus is Apple Intelligence and my phone can't run it. Overall, it's a good but less exciting update than iOS 16.
Question for those who have testing “lock apps behind Face ID” feature. What happens if you attempt to use it on apps that are already locked with a password/Face ID, such as our banking apps?
Do you not get the option on the list?
Do you get the option, but if you select it it does nothing different than before?
Or possibly does it require two Face ID validations?

I just upgraded my iPhone 13 mini from iOS 15 to 17. Battery life had already degraded before.
