From what I can see from the app updates I’ve received thus far, it appears that developers are embracing the app intent model pushed by Apple. That’s very encouraging.

A shame. I've got a couple of issues I was hoping would get resolved via a new build.
If the RC is really the final build, then there is at least one issue for those of us who installed the RC over the past week. When I try to leave a review on the App Store, it says "This feature isn't available" because I'm running a prerelease version of iOS. So there is at least something in the code that is flagging my installation as "prerelease."

Additional Notes
- Developers and testers can report bugs using the Feedback app. If you put your settings back on “None” for the betas, you can still open the app by entering the following URL in Safari:
- iOS 18 Preview
- iOS 18 Press Release
- iOS Beta Release Notes
- iOS Security Updates
To get the beta over-the-air:
If you no longer wish to receive beta updates:
- Enable Beta Updates (Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta Updates)
- Make sure you’re signed into the right Apple Account
- Select which beta you’d like to receive (public/developer beta)
- Hit "Back" and pull down to refresh
- Back up to a computer or to iCloud
- Install the beta
Troubleshooting: If the beta doesn’t show up on your phone, try turning on airplane mode, then turning it back off, or restart your device.
- Turn off the Beta Updates (you can also sign out of your Apple Account to reset this setting)
- Wait for the next public release or follow the guide below to go back to a release build
How to install using a Mac?
Notes/Tips:
- You’ll need the Xcode beta itself or a MobileDevice.pkg somebody extracted from the beta (click with two fingers or control-click), then choose Show Package Contents. Go to Contents/Resources/Packages. - this will work on older Macs that do not support the latest macOS or Xcode betas)
- Back up to your Mac or to iCloud in case you need to go back to another version
- Hold down Option, then click on ‘Check for Update’/‘Restore iPhone...’ and select the IPSW file you downloaded from the Apple Developer site. Note: You must be connected to the internet to complete the restore.
- Enter your iPhone passcode if you’re prompted to do so.
- Always keep a backup in case you need to restore your phone
- Restoring wipes your settings and all data on your iPhone
- You only need to reinstall MobileDevice.pkg if your Mac stops recognizing your iPhone
- There is no MobileDevice.pkg equivalent to iTunes for PC which would require a new iTunes to support new/beta iOS
- Upgrading to a newer iPhone? You can update using your Mac before setting up the phone

Historical beta release chart
I think we should remove "Beta" from the thread title 😉
Dang sorry to hear. I was half hoping it wouldn't be a new build bc tbh my battery life and performance has been really good on everything across the board. this feels like a really nice x.0 release, color me surprised.
Maybe minus some edge cases, I dont think most people should hesitate to upgrade. And I *never* say this for the most part I have horrid upgrade anxiety over spotty QC and unknowns.
Thanks, none are dealbreakers, but I'll list the issues I am having below. Device is an iPhone 15 Plus.
1) After the first time I open it, App Store is slow to load and slow to populate available updates. If I do a hard reset it works smoothly again, the first time, then reverts back to being slow.
2) For whatever reason, it occasionally needs me to turn off and back on, the Wifi, as it will just refuse to browse any website via Safari or Chrome. This might be Private Replay related but it's an annoyance.
3) I randomly get a message in battery that says "An update is being processed......." even though I installed the RC a week ago.
4) Battery life when NOT being used seems outstanding, but it seems to drop faster than it did pre-iOS 18, when you're doing something on the device.
that is RC build, which is same as GM build (the official IOS 18 release)
Depends on what build/Beta version you are on. If RC then no. same build. Anything else then yes. Must turn off beta updates in settings tho before you will get the release.
So no, no new build for you today. You are on the same thing being released to the public.
Beta updates were turned off in the background on my phone and ipad with no way to turn them on. This has happened before and was corrected in a short time.
Is there a way to turn off tinted icons when in dark mode? They are just super ugly
What do you mean? You hold an icon (until it wiggles), hit edit top left customize and choose static light, dark, or automatic (dynamic with light/dark mode) or tinted
And if you want to un-tint the background, that sun icon above light icon. and if you toggle large icons, you remove icon labels.
in other words just select light and it always will be (should've been already defaulted to that for existing home screen set ups?)
Sorry, should have been more specific. The Home Screen ones are fine. But when using dark mode the app icons in the settings app for example all remain the ugly tinted one. Was wondering if there’s a setting for that.
Looks like this has fixed itself -- I can now write and submit reviews on the App Store.
I guess Apple just had to update something on the back end so that build 22A3354 is no longer recognized as "prerelease."Running the RC since last week, no update today as same build but there was a carrier update to Three UK from v59.0 to v59.1
So far the biggest complaint is the new Icloud storage issue. Giving major vibes as the Ios 16 storage bug that persisted. I'm not dealing with it but millions are
Couldn’t find a thread for this, but I currently have the iOS 18 public beta on my phone. Do I need to or is there a way to go to the official one that Apple released for this?
If you installed the Release Candidate while on the public beta you already have the “official” one. No need to do anything.
