iOS 18.3 Beta, RIP CarPlay 2.0?, iPhone 16E/SE 4, & More!

[@BrandonButch]

Can’t wait for next week! Do you think we’ll see iOS 18.2.1, 18.3 Beta 2, or both?

CarPlay 2.0 is starting to feel like another AirPower 😭

[@joshuakolton9955]

I wish Apple would at least provide an update. Lots of people are waiting (like I was going to) with the assumption that current CarPlay vehicles cannot use 2.0.

[@hkad6252]

No automaker would want a phone to replace their UX. Dead on arrival.

[@RoHan-83]

@@joshuakolton9955Apple doesn’t like to admit failed plans or products or bugs. And no, that’s not an Android “fanboy” ranting, I’m an iPhone user. But I hate that one really about them, when it comes to admitting mistakes they are partially kindergarden kids and partially “prevent the lawsuit” adults, because Apple simply does not make mistakes.

[@Wicked_Trojan]

Meanwhile current CarPlay is stagnant.

[@Firstslavee]

I’m still bullish on CarPlay 2.0 I think they had to make a lot of changes

iPhone 14 here. Seems like iOS 18 updates are pretty minimal unless you have the the latest phone 😔

Anyone else notice that Apple removed the default iPhone 15 pro wallpaper? Any chance they will bring it back? I really wish they would

[@Firetech2004]

They usually don’t. iOS update removes the default wallpapers.

[@drewcantu]

Your crazy Airtag stories are my favorite part of the show.

[@richv7749]

Hi Brandon. Is that a free wallpaper?

[@rileyolson6008]

The best solution for the mouse would be wireless charging and they give you a mouse pad you plug into your computer that charges the mouse while you use it

they have already thought of that

[@Treborray]

Am I the only person having problems with Mail since 18.2?

[@BrandonButch]

@@Treborray what problems?

[@Treborray]

@ most of the time I don’t get my mail at all. I’ve never had this problem. It’s gotten so bad that I actually had to download other apps for mail in the meantime. I’ve always only used the native mail app. But it just doesn’t fetch at all. Even when I force it by closing the app and opening again I still don’t get most of my mail. It hurts my feelings lol. The one night I stayed up waiting for an important email right. I ended up falling asleep at 2 in the morning. Just to wake up and find that I received the email I was waiting for at 9:00 PM 😂😂😂😂

[@El_Hamzoh]

I’ve always had issues with Apple Mail 18.2 made it worse, switched to Gmail and never looked back

[@crispy6064]

my iphone 16 pro has trouble launching cameras from the button, as i press it, it opens the camera app, the viewfinder goes black and i have to wait for about 30 seconds until something happens 😅hope this is a software problem

[@richardbrown3069]

My guess on CarPlay 2.0 is the Apple provided a public release date to let everyone know that any delays beyond that release date to get it in vehicles would be due to vehicle manufacturer delays (putting pressure on vehicle manufacturers to get it tested and rolled out). Vehicle manufacturers are slow rolling CarPlay 2.0 due to resources required to test it and roll it out in their vehicles but also probably also to give them extra time to decide if they are going to drop support for CarPlay in favor of their own Infotainment software. If that is their plan, no sense giving people access to a better CarPlay (which might out shine whatever to vehicle manufacturers are working on) and then having to pull support for it.

[@amarjitsaini5425]

Great Video…

[@BenDMitchell]

Has anybody run into this issue--all apps I have downloaded AFTER I downloaded 18.2 are not giving me push notifications. The apps that were on my iPhone before the 18.2 update are fine it's just the apps after the 18.2 update? Anyone having this issue?

@@mayaklovsky9886 so what do you mean by "yeah"? You are not getting the notifications either on apps downloaded after 18.2?

@@mayaklovsky9886 Unfortunately, the push notifications on apps downloaded AFTER 18.2 was NOT fixed in this update 18.2.1. Anyone having this issue? Was it fixed on your end?

I mistakenly updated to 18.3 beta 1 before the holiday vacation. The battery life was killing me the entire time. It is abysmal compared to 18.2 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

[@-spedupsounds-5998]

I hope they will add an anti fishing filter for all those ai summarizations and priority features. I woke up in the middle of the night because Apple intelligence thought a fishing mail is perfect for me to read at 2am

[@KeOsSVSU]

When iOS 18.4 beta 1 arrives, are users in EU able to use the new Apple Intelligence features, or do we have to wait for the official release?

@@BrandonButch Hope we get it soon, havent been able to test any of the new features at all since we dont have it here in EU yet like playground etc..

[@ravr3954]

Is anyone using 16 pro max facing jittery scroll ( random frames drop ) and occasional vertical glitchy lines?

[@steffan1804]

16 pro having excessive drain from home and lock screen. Basically for 1 minute of usage it counts as 1% of drain. I have no idea whats draining my battery. Tried every possible setting. Performed several force restarts. This is just beyond sad. Paying 1000$ only to have such a limited experience is a shame. Apple is going seriously downhill.

[@michaeldhondt368]

All smartphones have terrible battery life now I think newer faster chips consume more battery power, cpu and graphics keep advancing but battery technology is stuck in year 2000. That being said 1% a minute is terrible but mine lasts around 4-5 hours if I actually use it for anything

[@kamarwashington]

Turn off the always on screen feature. My battery life is fine-iPhone 16 pro

[@steffan1804]

@@kamarwashingtonEvery possible setting is off including this. Unfortunately it’s a software issue many users including me are facing. Not much to do except to wait and hope next release will fix it. Which is very annoying on a newest phone.

I'll put my AirPods in my ear and hear the disconnect tone. AirPods will show in the list of devices but won't actually connect to my phone. The only fix is to reset the AirPods and restart my iPhone. Nerveracking to have to do every couple of days. Hopefully Apple fixes this. Am I the only one who experiences this issue?
