My IMAP mail issue ...
tldr I think I know the issue and how to fix it.
I was playing with my account settings now I'm back on iOS 17.5.1 and hit the same error when amending something, just as a test. It seems I've hit a years old bug. You know, one of those bugs that Apple must know about but can't be arsed to fix.
It's this bug:
apple.stackexchange.com
My assumption is that, during the upgrade, this bug was silently hit and hence the config couldn't successfully be re-created. And of course I couldn't edit it to re-enter the password without hitting the above bug. Which, of course, isn't fixed in iOS 18. Because, you know.
So my plan is to delete all my email aliases ("send from" addresses) and get it so I can make changes in iOS 17, and then hopefully the upgrade will be fine. I'll then add the aliases back again.
I'm going to wait until the next beta anyway, as despite my initial excitement of being able to customise the home-screens and control centre, when I did that I found I couldn't make it look any better than I already have them.

"Invalid Email address" error when attempting to change account password on iPhone and iPad
I use Gmail. Recently I received an e-mail from Google informing me that my account may have been compromised. I verified this by logging into Google itself where I got the same message: that they ...

Looking at the battery usage, my Photos app has been doing a lot of overnight background work since upgrading to iOS 18 compared to just before. That seems to have returned to normal after three nights.
Tried to find a non personal set of photos, what better than a rare sighting of the aurora borealis in the UK! 😄
Apple Music Features Improved Spotify-Like Queue System on iOS 18
Apple has revamped the song queuing system in the Music app on iOS 18, and early reaction to the changes has been overwhelmingly positive. Notable...

Apple Music in iOS 18 gets two new features that are flying under the radar
Apple Music in iOS 18 doesn’t offer any obvious design changes in the app. However, there are two key new features coming with the update.

not much other than that, really.
Has anyone had trouble with having to reinstall programs every day? Not all of them but about 30%? I know all of them have not been optimized for 18 .
Correction: None of them have been optimized for iOS 18.
Neither is mine. However I don’t believe they released the beta for HomePods yet.
Generally, like this (though the spacing on the rows on mine here are a little off because I use the Siri Suggested Apps widgets to populate my main homescreen
I still only have SMS as what shows in my text entry field when I text one of them "green bubble" folks. It does not give me MMS and I do have MMS enabled in settings.
Only other thing I do not like so far is when I open a picture in my album, it opens it much smaller and doesnt open full size like it used to in prior iOS versions (If that makes sense)

Yes, this is absolutely typical beta 1 behavior... trust that they will sort it out as the beta progresses...
It’s only using MMS (as it stands for multimedia messaging system) when sending images. If you’re just sending text, that’s SMS, so the prompt will only say SMS on that basis.
thats not a topo map
Apple Map on Left, true Topo Map on Right
Topo is short for Topography...or the elevations/countours of the ground. Its not a Topo map if it doesnt display elevations
