What kinda idiots have they put in charge of the dev teams?
Third one in two weeks.

It’s all a mess. Something big has gone wrong across the OS
Human resources must have been stretched thin. Too many operating systems branches on their plate.
Today is the last chance for 18.0.1 imo. Otherwise we look to 18.1. But what do I know. I guess 18.0.1 could still drop next week. None of this makes sense.
Also this is the company that spends about $10 million a day on R&D 🤣
I don’t understand the complaints. It’s literally a beta and a beta is there for finding such errors.
Apple just should stop doing public betas imo. I feel like most people don’t know the reason why they release betas and complain in forums when something doesn’t work like they’re using a final.
Yeah, because shrinking the pool of beta testers will totally help with software quality…
That worked perfectly after a little bit of trial and error. I downloaded Xcode Beta and then worked out. I can actually do it in the finder.
But it also doesn’t help when people use the betas as their daily driver and acting surprised when something doesn’t work properly.Yeah, because shrinking the pool of beta testers will totally help with software quality…
There’s a huge difference between something not working properly and bricking devices.
Those sort of bugs should have been caught before being pushed, beta or not.

What is going on with Apple? First the M4 iPads, then the HomePod last week, now the Apple Watch. 🫨
Maybe them taking more time with the new beta is okay, especially given how rushed the previous one felt (when it comes to quality and also a Monday release?).
But, yeah, seems like the teams are struggling a bit at the moment.
Are we still looking for a Thursday beta release?

It’s more important we get 18.0.1 for all the iPad issues and touch issues with iPhone 16s
Bring it on, Tim! Brick me harder, Daddy! 😒Are we still looking for a Thursday beta release?
I've never had this feeling before that Apple is incapable of doing something. They have several very important fronts, which they are not able to solve effectively. Because iOS 18.1 is not just a beta, it is the reason for the sale of the iPhone 16 and something must be happening internally for us not to have seen any beta of the systems that will have AI. Not to mention the disaster of the iPads with M4.
Yeah I agree. I’m already looking forward to iOS 19 when they have solid basis for all the AI stuff. They’re currently lacking of it and trying to catch up with iOS 18.
On the other side, iOS 18 is one of most stable releases I’ve seen for many years. This indicates that they’re overwhelmed with AI.
What worries me the most is that perhaps the AI stuff has taken quite a lot of the engineering resources – so we are seeing issues and loss of focus on the more important / critical areas, while the team is focusing on the AI stuff that will drive sales, but is not actually that important / useful for a huge amount of users.
Man, the AI stuff that is present in the current .1 betas is lackluster and pretty boring. The .2 must be a hell of a release now that I think of it, however, the only thing that could get maybe the public excited is the Genmoji and Image generation stuff + the new Siri capabilities, but they wont be available till late spring 2025...
