Bit there yet, as we were told in the keynote, coming later in the summer……..
I‘m in the camp of the disappointed. I didn’t expect a complete overhaul like iOS 6 to 7 but I really was expecting some major design updates that resemble the modern visionOS look. Like the alert boxes, notifications, keyboard, menu bars. I really don’t know why they are allergic to a more modern look.
iPadOS is a lazy one too like always. There was so so much potential for the new M4 chips, just look at the macOS features like iPhone mirroring. Why on earth does the iPad have not the same macos status bar? Why is everything still a stretched out iPhone version?!?! I don’t get it. Why don’t we get those new snapped windows and 4 at the same time? I don’t expect my iPad to be a Mac but fml apple. I don’t know why I still have huge expectations year after year after year.
iOS is mature enough to only update the design language from time to time and add smaller features like multiview or those long overdue features like hiding apps or lock them. But iPadOS has so damn much unused potential.. even updating the design for a 11 or 13 inch screen would be a huuuuge step.

For those that use tapbacks in iMessage, if you message a pre iOS18 user, it appears that it notifies the recipient, but there is no tapback emoji attached to the message
it now says apple account in Apple ID settings of the settings app
Been that way since iOS 7, I have most of my icons customized through shortcuts, but as we know that’s a trad off since you lose badges and the long press menu.
Tinting all the icons the same color makes them all look so similar, reminds me of some of the dozens of crappy free icons sets that are in Cydia where they just invert the stock icon colors. Not all of the icons are terrible, but there are several that burn my retinas, like the photos icon and Reminders, kind of blows my mind that those things are all Apple can do over the span of more than a decade. I really thought this was the year we’d see a change, see ya next year!
I’ve messaged two iOS users both get the tapbacks but don’t appear in colour just the old grey tones
My current iOS17 Home using shortcuts. Will probably just do this on iOS 18 once Shortcuts & Widgy are confirmed as working.

Is showing profile pictures in Mail app (as shown in the announcement), Is this enabled as part of Beta1?
Nope. Current mail on ios18 beta remains the same as 17.5.1
You mean a Mariah song other than Last Christmas?
Whatever you're trying to post just shows up as a bunch of emoji codes.
I know they mentioned the categorization stuff would come "in the fall" but I didn't think that meant there would be nothing for mail... It has been need of a refresh for so long.. they could at least add in some better formatting options.. that shouldn't be too difficult I'd think
Your Harmony remotes still work? Mine quit almost as soon as support was dropped..
I’m confident they said no changes to mail until later in the summer. I’m disappointed that there isn’t any changes I’d have took the visual changes but left the category function till later
Iphone 12, I know AI Siri is later in the year but it is also still a ball, not the screen glow thing.
Icons still snap to grid,
Contacts icon is blank in Large icon mode.
Reminders is calendar could be useful I guess.
Albums are still in the Photos redesign , thank goodness.
