​@BrandonButch It's hard to understand why there are so many mis-steps with iOS18

[@deadli-us]

Strange, I have a 16 Pro and haven’t noticed any issues. I wonder if there’s some issue with a specific part vendor, since Apple does source components from different vendors (Samsung and LG for displays, for example).

[@Silentjackll]

The problem I ran into was my backup was 18.1. Not compatible with 17.7 or 18.0. My device got stuck with "Device still updating" in the battery center. This started killing my battery incredibly fast. It was getting hot as well. And when I plugged into my computer it told me that I didn't have enough power and to plug in a power adapter. USB-C doesn't have power issues. I eventually put the phone into DFU mode and manually installed 18. Then I did over the air to public beta 18.1 beta 2. and this allowed me to use my backup to restore my phone. All is good now. But stay away from beta 5. Bad juju.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

To answer your question, you can set an Automation. Automations automatically run a shortcut when conditions are met. So you make the automation automatically run the shortcut to pay your Apple card, when these conditions are met: every first of the month at midnight. So your Apple card is paid off while you're sleeping.

[@manart6506]

5:35 shortcuts tips please!… as the things that make Android and iOS almost the same increase, the Siri shortcuts it’s one big feature in iOS, I use several shortcuts tons of times daily and now more often from the control center.

[@FrankieTabs]

What’s happening is Apple has all iOS devs on deck working on finishing Apple Intelligence as the top priority for the company. This is probably because they’re getting a ton of negative press for it not shipping with iPhone 16.

[@SocialStudiess]

Where’s your source? You talk like you work for Apple. Who asked you btw?

[@FrankieTabs]

No source. I don't. The video asked the rhetorical "what's going on with iOS 18?!"...so I threw in my 2 cents. I work in Product Dev so I know it's not uncommon for software companies to re-prioritize devs in an "all-hands-on-deck" fashion to higher priority products/projects. The effect is that other product dev slows down or takes a hit in quality.

[@machtmer]

Yep, I had it figured. Still on 17; staying on 17. At least until about 18.3 or .4. The length of time after initial launch of a new iOS most people probably want to wait before upgrading is directly proportional to the extent of the changes of that iOS version from previous. And since 18 is likely amongst the top three to maybe top five most significant updates in the history of iOS; best bet by far is to give this one a very wide berth to get the bugs out.

Hi Brandon! I was just wondering if you'd have any thoughts on this. Since I got my iPhone 16 (Sep 23), when I open camera in landscape mode, and then tap on the photo album, a black block slides from the right to half of the screen and disappears. The photo album display in landscape itself is smaller at first and then glitches to fill the screen. This happens when I open it while in camera mode in landscape. It also happen on the camera screen itself but not as frequently. I tried force restart and a software check at an Apple service center too. It did not work. I was told, when nothing is wrong with the hardware, it must be the software and that the next iOS update would fix it. But iOS 18.0.1 didn't fix it.

I have issues with - my Focus modes are all over the place. I use 3 usally (Work, After Work, Weekend). They seem to switch but the wallpapers and the general style associated with them do not change. - my Camera app. If I make a photo and immediately click the preview, it opens a teeny-tiny version of the phot (the size of the little preview, but it puts it in the middle of the screen) - pinch to zoom. If I open a pic (doesn't matter where I got it from) I can't pinch and zoom. I furst have to double tap on it so it zooms in completely and THEN pinch&zoom will work. All of this worked before iOS 18.
