Will the iOS 18 public beta be compatible with an Apple Watch on watchOS 10? Or will it cause too many issues?

[@johnnytriathlon]

Hi Brandon - I was downloading the Public Beta when I was watching this. I am worried about battery life and bugs. How bad is the battery and bugs? Is it worth waiting a few more weeks?

[@terrym3837]

I would give it a few weeks I have no sound outside music or podcast apps and Siri is a mess

[@Dholt29]

Do you think it’s worth it on a main device? Or should I give it a couple more public betas?

[@YOH_MUSIC]

Should go without saying but: 1. ⁠Don't install this if you're not ready and agree with bugs and issues 2. ⁠New Siri still hasn't been released, so if you're installing because of it just don't 3. ⁠Battery life and overheating/slowdown issues, mind that From U/pistols on r/iOS

Oh man , I had a nasty nasty experience with iOS 18. Everything was lagging and the system menu was respringing big time.

[@iamJordi123]

I have two questions: 1. Is the public beta stable enough for my main device (iPhone 12 mini)? 2. Is it possible to get the Official Release in September while being in a public beta? I don’t mind being in the public beta until iOS 18 is released, but I do not want to get a public beta Release Candidate (RC), but instead the Official Release that every iPhone get's.

[@BrandonButch]

Yes & Yes. The RC is the same as the final release. If you don't want it, just don't install the RC and turn Beta updates off after RC gets released

[@iamJordi123]

@@BrandonButch Just installed it, pretty satisfied so far with the stability. But I am afraid that I am going to live next to the charger. 🤣

[@Simsalabimse]

@@iamJordi123 How did it go? Have an iPhone 12 and wondering to update like I did with 17 betas

[@iamJordi123]

@@Simsalabimse I would say go for it. The battery life is decent; I get about 90-95% of the battery life I had on iOS 17. Bugs are definitely present. For example, the control center sometimes moves the controls to the wrong place. However, once you set up the control center successfully, it works well. Occasionally, controls may disappear, but reopening the control center brings them back instantly. Just expect a few bugs here and there. No worries, you can report them straight to Apple (I’ve reported two bugs so far). Also, keep in mind that my phone has started to become a lot hotter. I don’t understand why, as it is very cold here, but maybe it needs some time to cool down after a big update. And obviously, it's not going to be as smooth as iOS 17 but with future beta's that gap should close.

Hey Brandon 👋 I would like to know if when I install the public beta I will be able to go back to the official release of iOS 17?

Yes you can. You’ll have to put your iPhone into recovery mode by plugging in your device to a computer & connect to Finder or iTunes and press volume up, then volume down, and hold the power button until you see the screen say recovery mode. On your computer, hit restore and update. Make sure to back up first.

Brandon, I have always been hesitant to try the betas on my main device but I really want to try this time. If I try the public betas, can I change over to the public release by shutting off the betas when it’s time?

[@galaxystarrr]

Yes I usually turn it off like 2 days before the public release date when Apple tells us, when you do the PB if the RC (the one that goes out to the public) is the same as the RC candidate they’ll be no update since you have the public iOS 18 already, but sometimes Apple makes a small change from RC candidate to public RC and if they do you’ll see a update available when the time comes if not your all good!
