I bet they will fix it in the end of the beta cycle.
Got a tip for us?

Nope, ironically it does not work either. I am in France, so set it to Paris and it still remains light with the dark mode on, even though it looks dark in the widget picker. This is with the dark mode on, never mind the bright background, it is the weather one, so is adjusted dynamically:
Ok so i tested it, it is indeed light because of the time.
It turns dark when it’s night outside.
So not a help for you I guess?
I will try it tonight, but ideally would like to have my original dynamic clock widget to turn dark as well, as in your workaround the clock is always linked to a particular time zone.
Yeah me too, right now sides are warm while I am writing here at macrumors 😒
Maybe there is an app/widget out there which looks good and serves you with that auto light/dark mode ?
This is my RCS timeline:
- DB3 (first install of iOS 18 for me) works flawlessly except on wireless CarPlay, where it stops working and takes a while to recover after disconnecting
- DB4 stops working on various wifi networks, introduces the RCS/SMS flicker (e.g. when you‘re on wifi and turn wifi off, it goes to SMS and takes a few seconds to show RCS again), RCS periodically becomes stuck as SMS, even with good cellular connectivity
- DB4.5 only noticeable issue I encountered so far is the RCS/SMS flickering is still present but always goes back to RCS again after a short while. I‘m soon going to drive somewhere, I‘ll verify the wireless CarPlay and cellular issues I had. //EDIT: it still does not work on wireless CarPlay and it took a long time to reconnect, so long that I have no idea how long it took (I periodically checked a RCS chat while I was grabbing groceries. By the time I got back to the car it had mysteriously reenabled itself, only to go away again when CarPlay connected). Seems like CarPlay poisons RCS for me oh well I don‘t text and drive anyways
I think Apple has designed RCS to be very aggressive about data connections, unlike iMessage. Like when you have 1-2 bars, it simply wont go RCS for me. iMessage meanwhile is a true permanent addition to your contacts presence / chats. It is not as aggressively at purging iMessage state from conversations as RCS (the second you‘re with a crap connection it goes off, even when it could realistically send out RCS texts that maybe take a while to send).
Not to mention the group chat issue that plagues RCS, documented in the other topic "RCS supported carriers" (tldr Apple does a big no-no and lets you send SMS into a RCS group when you are disconnected temporarily from RCS, which permanently bricks the group to SMS on iOS and starts a new SMS group chat for every Google Messages participant, whereas Google does it properly and simply wont let you send a message at all if you can‘t send RCS).

My 15 PM does the same thing…gets hot while charging on Beta 4 but my 15 plus does not. Maybe something with the “pro chip”?
Restart didn’t improve things. The phone was very warm so I left it on standby and after about an hour it has started working normally.
Could I have lived with it as it was - definitely no.
15+
Yeah my nearly 2 year old 14 pro max has definitely had heating issues. Pretty much since I received it on and off. Apple didn’t acknowledge it until the 15 PM and the updates to iOS 17 seemed to help. iOS 18 so far has gotten them back to heating up again.
This is a revised DB4 that came out yesterday. 🖐️

Been on iOS 18 since beta 1 and not had any real issues until this latest beta 4 version. Now regularly getting instances of my cellular (EE UK) loosing all signal. Seems to totally drop out for around 30 seconds before returning. Any other EE guys experiencing this?
It was reported for DB4v1, but allegedly was fixed in DB4v2 for some people:
I have a question:
I’m just have an iPhone and Apple Watch, and the iOS 18 added a few new features to the Notes app, things like: using a mark, paint the letters, etc. but I can’t open those note in to my pc using chrome or Brave browser, the doesn’t even appear there.
It is a bug? Is it worth send a feedback?

Was bored at the house today so I hopped on the beta. So far so good. Keyboard lags a bit when typing but not too bad.
This was happening for me on beta 4, normal T-mobile connection in a good area. Same kinda thing.. and the 4.5 (so called by most) update seems to have fixed it for me
