Is it me or does DB2 feel slightly smoother and more responsive?

I know I am 30+ and sometimes it hurts when wake up but I was not expecting “Grandma Mode Icons” in Safari

Someone else… have these zoom on icons ?

Just noticed all the configurations I made in the Photos app have been reset.

Yup, same here. That's also what I call the new large icons on the homescreen. Grandma mode lol

Now T9 calling ignores accent marks. Before “mamá” wouldn’t show up cause of the á

Same — came here to find out if anyone else felt this.
Release notes mentioned a new memory allocator, wonder what changed.

What are you going to do with it?

I'm curious what the use cases are.

Yeah, that’s where I’ve been. I can definitely see a use case for mirroring a Mac on Vision Pro. But I can’t think of lot of times where I’d say, “gosh I wish I was using my relatively small iPhone screen rather than my much larger, more capable Mac”. I’m sure they have something in mind, but I’m not seeing it.

Photos frame rate when you scroll is still not very smooth.

 

[jdavid_rp]

The AirPlay menu now shows other AirPlay devices, before it would just show up my phone.

Something changed with the swipe up gesture animation? like I keep going to the Home Screen instead of closing an app by mistake

Can’t install b2 right now as I’m not at home but I’m curious about 2 things, if anyone know.

1.Are the notifications fixed when in list view?
2.Can we remove the app name when in small mode like we can in large icons mode?

Is the digital clock option new in iOS18 standby mode? I don’t remember seeing it 17.

cant see the digital clock. only analog!

New submenu for Siri even if your language doesn’t support just “Siri” trigger

Just installed on 15 Pro Max from 17.5.1

Only things I've noticed are light widgets even if on dark mode. Toggling light/dark does nothing
RCS NOT on EE UK.

Good thing it’s your test device 😉

I bet you're fun at parties....

Maybe not, but at least his phone works

tried updating from Beta 1 to Beta 2 and now its showing my 15 Pro Max is in restore mode.... today isn't a good day

Happened to my iPad as well. Restoring back to 17 currently.

I was hoping this would be fixed, although it’s insignificant in the grand scheme. I really have no complaints.

Currently in “Preparing” phase for b2.

TRying to update my 15 Pro MAx and just noticed im being hit with the System Storage bug.... 118GB in System Storage.... FML

928mb for me on 15pm least I’ve seen on a stable release let alone a second beta 🤣

Was able to get this fixed buy, downloading iOS 18 Restore file, plugging in iPhone to mac, and clicking on "update" and selecting the iOS 18 file.

I’m on T-Mobile and RCS is not working atm but do have the toggle switched on.

Where is the toggle? I’m on dual sim O2 and EE in the UK and I’ve got no toggle in settings -> other apps -> messages

My iPhone 15 Plus is very sluggish, especially the Settings app. Ironically my old iPad Air 4 seems faster than on iOS 17

 

[Pearsey]

Control panel is getting there. I’d say there’s a slight improvement to reorganising icons and adding.

All I can think of is on the off case where I leave my phone in another part of the house and am too lazy to get up and get it. But that's so rare... Not seeing it either.
