I am SO excited about iOS18. I can bearly contain myself knowing that yet again, following the update, the Maximum Capacity of my iPhone will take another large step down, the battery life will significantly decrease. etc. How does my iPhone know it must lose Capacity right now as the update emerges? You know where I am going with this. I suggest everyone records the current Maximum Capacity of their iPhone BEFORE updating and then we can all compare notes after the Apple update completes. Personally, I can not wait to discover I need a new iPhone when before the update I didn't
Got a tip for us?

I'm also very lazy to have to downgrade to IOS 18.
Pro Tip: If you don't check your maximum capacity before or after the update, you will notice 0 difference.
What they are going to achieve is that there is no feedback on early versions without the last one being released, almost 4 weeks without beta and I guess having received feedback from the developers, it seems like a long time to me!
@john991 That thinking only for US users and developers, since in the EU it is not available, and I suppose that the information that Apple receives is very, very biased, due to the volume of installations
@john991 I'm super pissed off with Apple, since I think those of us who have installed IOS 18.1 have left hanging, I have some bugs that I have reported and honestly they could have launched a beta in 2 weeks from beta 3
What's with all these App Store updates this morning? Must be an update or something today 😆🙃
Are these bugs related to Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 or are they "iOS 18" issues? I'm sure their goal is to have iOS 18 as polished as possible for today, and in their eyes maybe taking longer on AI just to get it out the door.
Polish? I just wish that Apple would give us 3+ multiple alerts on iOS Calendar, just as it does on MacOS Calendar.
That polish appears to be intentionally lacking for years.
Otherwise - we release-day upgraders are ready for 18 today! 🎉

Exactly, at this point I wonder if iOS 18.1 was put out only for stock market. Let’s hope beta 4 comes soon.
Or we can all stop obsessing about stuff like this and just, you know, enjoy using the phone.
@gwhizkids quick question do you think the estimated time to download won't be too bad especially if I wait about hour after everyone downloads
It’s a big download and a lot of people downloading it. I’d wait until late afternoon personally and then make sure you’re on a good connection.
I'm also on 18.1 beta and planning on downgrading to the official 18 release. Some annoying bugs here and there that I don't want to deal with haha
For me it's hard to say, I've done the major Sept. updates AS SOON as they were released, The wait time would be 10 min. up to 45-50 minutes. Even after 1 hour after the new iOS drop.
I'll probably wait until tonight before attempting to download/install 18. Maybe 7-8pm ET. I also want to check back here for any possible issues, major bugs some might be reporting.
I have mixed feelings .. one hand I want a new build number, but don't expect it honestly
