iOS 18 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

When running beta 6 on the mini I didn’t notice any real change from running iOS 17. Seems to be just as fast and battery seemed normal.
In saying that though, I bet iOS 17 runs a lot better and is more bug free. I bet for that reason it would have better battery life. I’m not sure iOS 18 is a better OS to be honest - it’s ’fine’ but I wouldn’t jump in just yet if battery is your number 1 concern.
Perhaps, but I think the now defunct Microsoft Works takes that prize!
Here’s a random question I’ve been thinking about. Does anyone hold back a month or so before upgrading to an #.0 iOS release, just to ensure less bugs?
Like if a user waited like 2 or 3 months to upgrade to iOS 18.2, would they receive any security updates for iOS 17 whilst they wait?

I’m pleased to see that after the disappointing performance of public beta 4, beta 5 has improved on my 15 Pro Max. Also after the initial update & heat generated it’s running cooler with less warming up on the apps I use 👌🏻
We must inform Apple of this error. Because now, as things stand, we can accidentally make calls.
If this is the last beta.. then invites should coming out this week. Event and RC build on September 3rd. iPhone preorders on September 6. iOS 18 release date of sept 11. iPhone release date of sept 13.
I hope this isn’t the case as September 11 isn’t a good day… and Friday the 13th sounds like bad luck.

Hmmm.. That's weird. Beta 7 was just less than 400MB on my 14 Pro, if memory serves.
Well I’ll be damned. The first squared notification I saw was the “your iPhone has been updated to iOS 18.0” one. Truly beyond comedy.
1) In storage, all my icons are “dark mode”. I don’t like it and I haven’t enabled this anywhere. Is this normal? Please see pic.
2) When I activate Siri, I’m not getting the colorful animation around the screen, it’s still the Siri Circle at the bottom. Do you have to activate this somewhere?
Thanks!
Oh my…
Had it as well on beta 6 and I’m sure it’s still not fixed in beta 7.
It’s not new. This was added in an iOS 17.x version or at least since the first iOS18 beta.
Wouldn't say they are the "exact same software" as the 15 ProMax and 13 mini are vastly different pieces of hardware and capabilities.
1) Yes. Looks like they continue to overlook this inconsistency.
2) That’s part of the 18.1 beta and only for the 15 Pro, not Plus.
Thank you. Oh goodness, so us non-Pro folk don’t even get the animation, let alone Apple Intelligence?
Most likely not. The new animation is currently stuck to the AI features.
Personally I prefer the less intrusive Siri with the rounded icon on the bottom of the screen.
No way!! I’m in PA and it’s 67 degrees and a nice breeze…drink on the deck!
On topic…I’m solid on the last beta how is this one?
Good to hear it's reasonably stable. Honestly I'm more interested in Watch OS 11 - really looking forward to having maps for workouts, vitals, auto sleep detection. Need to move to iOS 18 to use it though.
I think the icons are supposed to be dark because you are in dark mode.
