iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[JCCL]

And here....we......go. Hopefully I'm not reverting to iOS 17 this afternoon, but oh well! Part of the fun!

Now for the wait to download iOS 18 beta 1!

Can't wait for my phone to explode.

 

[Bass1293]

Just popped up for me (UK)

I turned the beta update off and kept refreshing and going back in and it came up

 

[Gathomblipoob]

How?

Make sure you have iOS 18 selected in Beta Updates in Settings.

 

[Pearsey]

Still not seeing it here...

I restarted my phone then it gave me the iOS 18 option

 

[Kaikidan]

what most interests me, is the eye tracking tech, if it would require the "Apple intelligence"thing or if it will run on every IOS18 device. It would be very nice to have on my ipad to quickily do things with just the eyes on a glance while I use the computer at work.

 

[Realityck]

No issues with installations of numerous devices. tvOS requires a power cycle for 18 for devs to show.

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW Instals

Like last year you need the Mobiledevice.pkg from the Resources folder in Xcode when you Show more content.

I didn't see user created Albums in the redesign of Photos. First thing I will be trying out. Without albums my legacy scanned 35mm slides are floating around 2006 when they were scanned. 🤞

User created albums still exist.

It's actually neither of those. It has lower requirements than Apple Intelligence but still isn't available on all iOS/iPadOS 18 devices.

All I want is being able to put apps on the bottom of the screen.

It happened!

When to expect beta2? i cannot remember how long the waiting was for iOS17/16...

 

[WhackyNinja]

Give me a refreshed UI and a better Control Center.

I won sort of

The first beta usually goes a while, I think maybe even 3 weeks? And then we'll be on two week intervals until shortly before the official release when we'll then go on weekly updates.

yea, usually 2 weeks after Beta 1 (well 2 weeks an couple days as it tends to be the Wednesday or so of the 2nd week)

I’m so excited about iPadOS 18! They did it! They added the ability to pin Siri Shortcuts in the Control Center, and they added API’s for third-party developers to create their own Control Center Applets!!! This was the thing I was hoping for the most with iPadOS 18, and they delivered! 👍🏻. And I love the customization options! I’m excited to see third-party apps make use of it! 👍🏻. The macOS Menu Bar Applets are pretty much now incorporated into iOS and iPadOS! 👍🏻

 

[TimFL1]

I guess I‘m good in terms of hopping on the beta wagon for now.
RCS was literally the only thing that‘d get me to upgrade early and that seems to be absent from this build.

Found them. Thanks.

Anyone seen removal of photo background items yet? Maybe thats another late AI item. Or my phone doesn't support it.

It's not available in this beta and is only for iPhone 15 Pro.

Are you sure? It was hinted that Apple Intelligence runs onboard on A17 pro chip or Apple Silicon, or on private Apple severs for other devices, presumably slower.
Maybe that isn't part of it.

Maybe it just isn’t in this first beta?

I thought that the photo background cleanup tool was in Apple “machine learning” category and not the “Apple Intelligence” category. It sounded like older devices would get machine learning but only those with enough RAM would get Apple Intelligence.

Cleanup is part of Apple Intelligence. They covered it under that section in keynote and Apple have it in their Apple Intelligence section, not iOS 18 :

Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. All while setting a brand-new standard for privacy in AI.
