I just want Apple to fix the stickers. I still can’t create or have any of my old stickers after upgrading to 16 pro. New stickers i try to create just disappear after a second. And still have the blank emoji spaces in the emoji keyboard

[@ZeerakImran]

there are lots and lots of bugs across macos and ios. after upgrading to sequoia, my macbook definitely feels slower to respond. I disabled apple intelligence, still every task is just not snappy like it was pre upgrading. I don't think there should be any lag on macos opening the finder window with an m1 pro chip, 5000MB/s+ read speed. Its around 2 times slower at opening a finder window than before. still takes around a quarter of a second or less in total. but it should be quicker as this isn't a hard task and i can tell the difference. the difference is kind of like using windows 11 instead of 10. every click every action is just behind where it used to be. hardly an upgrade. idon't think i'm really using many features that may be slowing it down. they can get rid of widgets on desktop, stage manager and whatever else. i have them disabled. the widgets are nice but they're just not useful for me. they're not fun like back in the day ones either. stage manager on a laptop, don't know many who use that. also why did apple release the window tiling with the annoying gap around the window. i thought hey let's give it a go. after a while, got frustrated and disabled that just like I disabled the click to show desktop feature which I found so annoying. They're fine to have but I don't think anyone wants those shipped by default. The gap would go from unbelievably stupid to kinda nice, if it wasn't on by default. The gap around the window isn't even the the same all the way around. Its stupid. Finder is a mess. I have to disable anything icloud drive related from my mac just so I don't end up with that mess. I just want local storage. So I set it up like that. With the icloud drive, I'll end up needing to pay so much for storage monthly and getting it up and down via internet is stupid. Managing it is confusing too. All of these things could be great, if they weren't the default. Luckily, whenever I set up a mac, it uses my account preferences to maintain the way I like it on the new device. But from default, I have to disable so many things I shouldn't have to, just to get a usable experience. Didn't have to do any of this with the older generation macos releases. Enabling tap to click for trackpad. Disabling show recent and recommended apps in dock.... I even disable recent files and apps history just to get rid of the inconsistent, reoppening of previous windows of an app. If it did it consistently, that would be amazing. But its broken. On a side note, I find that adding additional programs to clean up your mac to make it more usable, just make it worse. So stick with stock as much as possible but disable whatever you don't want.

[@nickmaynard9193]

I had this issue as well, but it finally corrected itself after I downloaded the first beta version of 18.2.

[@sm0kas3rr69]

going to the siri animation being a lil more stiff after a day or 2 it seems to move js a lil more still not as wiggly but definitely moves a lil more than it did when initially updating

[@habishua]

So as a heads up, going from the beta to RC completely breaks any sideloaded apps. Even before downloading the update, the minute the RC was available to download, all of my sideloaded apps were broken. Generating a new development profile (my own paid one) for my devices didn’t work. Using something like Signulous also didn’t work; they said it’s an issue with 18.2 and anytime you go to install an app, it says “additional entitlements required.” So that’s the main issue I’m seeing with RC so far.

[@marcelleuenberger4648]

thanks for the warning

[@Drickles0]

Think this might be a special problem only some devices experience because I upgraded and all my sideloaded apps work fine. Although I don’t use my own official apple developer certificate (I use a corporate entity certificate) all my sideloaded apps work just fine and I can still sideload apps. I sign my apps with ESign

[@PBDi4]

I got a new battery installed from Apple on my iPhone 11 rather than buying the iPhone 16. I think Apple Intelligence is still half baked at best so I’m holding out.

[@NewEnglandWitch]

I prefer the new reduced motion of Siri. I thought I would love that interface, but I genuinely can’t stand it and stopped using Siri a few days into 18 beta. I’m actually kinda finding everything in ios 18 exciting for a few days then I never use it again or it becomes frustrating.

[@aliozanerbektas]

Apple Intelligence is the gimmickiest gimmick Apple has ever created... Also just a quick question for all of you guys. If Apple doesn't share our data to train language models like ChatGPT, how on earth will the developers improve them models? If Apple wasn't so stubborn about all that privacy nonsense, Siri would have been decades away from her nearest competitors. But noooo, Apple is notorious crippling its own products... 😌

[@stevanb.2590]

Since iOS 18 I have notifications issue on 14 PM (it's the same on 11 PM so my guess is that it's software related). When on silent, there is no vibration when mail notification comes, sometimes display does not even turn on. Photos app closes itself more then it should and it's still a pure mess. If I take picture and quickly exit camera app, no photo will be there in gallery. Shortcuts sometimes work as they should, sometimes not. Etc... Concentrating on AI and "personalisation" features, iOS is starting to lose what it was known for - basic things working perfectly. I guess Memoji and icons tinting are more important then notifications and camera performance.

[@KipstaR-Official]

Cool and when is apple intelligence in PL? xD?

[@EclipseTheWoof]

On my iPhone 11, iOS 18 has been really laggy in general. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I have 54GB out of 64GB in storage or something? I was on call with an Apple tech support worker and they said it wasn’t an issue exclusive to my phone and it’s been happening to others.

@ yes they do have that but it’s not part of the button itself as far as zoom or the focus feature We were thinking it would be with a half press.

[@AmpdLSU]

@@zollotech true. I feel like there’s a fair amount that can be done to rework the UX and functionality of the button. Hope they make more changes. I agree with your comments on it in your iPhone 16 videos. Also, I feel like they should have moved it closer to the edge of the phone for a more natural placement when shooting landscape. I think I understand why they didn’t (hardware engineering cost savings by using the same location that the mmWave antenna was), but at the detriment of the user experience.

The iPhone is turning into a kids’ toy rather than the sophisticated communication device grown-ups like me really want. Confusion caused by a mass of useless new gimmicks is fast replacing its former usability. It’s a techies dream no doubt but a nightmare for many ordinary users. Having loved my iPhone for years I’m sad to say a divorce is imminent and I shall now look for a more basic phone that lets me text, email, take photos and search the web - if such phones can be found - at a fraction of the price. Then perhaps I’ll start living more in the real world rather than endlessly fiddling around in an addictive and time-wasting digital hell.
