Getting a lot of resprings in beta 4 (both versions) Frequency four or five a day. Unable to spot any pattern to what causes them, but sometimes when entering login details in Safari
15+
Same thing that I’ve been experiencing. But what’s crazy is I turned off dark mode, and I have Noir enabled for my Safari, I turned that off as well and now all of a sudden it seems like my phone is OK. So I don’t know if it has to do with dark mode or if it has to do with just Safari itself and Noir enabled, I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️
 
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?
I suspect it’s because the Notes version on those other platforms do not yet support iOS 18. Should resolve itself after the public release in September.

15 ProMax.

Will be playing music in the back ground and opening another app, the app opened (foreground) will crash after a few minutes. The music usually keeps playing in the background.

Music - YT Music

Started with the current beta.

I also use Noir. I’ve turned it off. Will see how it goes.
 
Here's an obscure bug they fixed. They added a new settings entry "iCloud" near the bottom of the list which duplicates the iCloud settings in the main "Your Name" section.
I keep my "Your Name" settings protected and grayed-out with Screen Time account restrictions. The new settings entry originally bypassed this, but in beta 4.1 the new settings is now grayed-out too.

They are going to call the consumer release beta? Never heard of Apple releasing a beta software to all phones outside a a beta test program. That would be a first.
Far from a first.
2011:
Siri remained in “Beta” until 2013, despite coming enabled by default on all iPhone’s and iPads after 2011.

2018:
I believe the battery health section in the settings had the “Beta” tag on it until iOS 12, even in public releases.

So it is very rare, but Apple does every once in a while release a beta labeled feature, even in the public release.
Going off of Apple‘s wording, plus the fact that in the latest Developer beta, if you open the “Siri” section in the settings it says “ apple Intelligence and Siri” in the menu, it does appear that there might be some apple intelligence features released as a beta for all users in 18.0
However, they will more than likely have to be manually enabled until the day Apple is comfortable removing the “Beta” tag.
My guess is that it will be labeled a “Beta” at least until 19.0. Maybe, maybe 18.4 or 18.5 but I think that’s a bit soon.

You could be right, AI just seems like a lot bigger deal than the battery. Beta may be what they do in the full release. Just seems so much bigger than to do that.
 
We should start compiling some data points

I’ve killed dark mode, and dark icons. have come back to the phone being effectively off. Just dead or locked up.

Indeed, it does seem like a big deal, until you remember that it’s restricted to the iPhone 15 Pro series and the upcoming 16 series.
The vast majority of users won’t be able to use this for a long time, so it makes sense that they would be more comfortable, calling it a “Beta” that you need the newest and most expensive devices to access.

Maybe so, would be vastly different approach from Apple. We shall see though. I think it’s coming to the beta here soon.

I am also not sure the 15 pros will get the full feature list of AI when it finally comes out of beta. Maybe not even the 16s. I think it will not make a true release until 2025, and the 17 will be the real “AI” iPhone.

In iOS 17, creating a shortcut automation to stop CarPlay from playing audio never worked. In iOS 18 b1-3 it did work. Now it’s broken again. Anyone else?

Anybody else has this problem? With Waze after the latest beta update, you can not report anymore via CarPlay or choose a different route. All the input functions except entering the destination from the CarPlay unit are not available( when clicking on it nothing happens). Have reinstalled the app multiple times.
 
I’m thinking I have a hardware issue. Just shuts off after 15 minutes or so. Will also reboot.

How would the Apple Store handle a replacement with full AppleCare loaded with Dev beta?

You can always restore it to iOS 17, just make a backup of your DB4 iPhone first in case they replace it for you and you need to get everything back.
