iOS 18 Beta 3 is the most stable build yet.. at least for me. What about you?

[@MiKappa360]

It’s stable enough for me too but battery life is still not good

[@yuvraajbhatter2669]

my emoji keyboard just died

[@AndySchuylerVlogs]

Same

[@ShadowPhantomGaming]

I think my battery life is good for me. I’ve been getting like 8-9 hrs per day on a used iPhone 13 Pro Max.

[@mr_thingy]

Well my phone has started freezing up at seemingly random times. And when trying to turn it off with the button it just dimms the screen extremely end then behaves normally again

[@BrandonButch]

Note/correction: Rad stands for Radian, not radius (in the calculator). My mistake 🤣

This update broke the tint feature for me, I had it just fine but now when I wanna change it, like 2 seconds later it changes the color to a very dark version of the color I chose

[@LachiYT]

Thank you for this Video Brandon! Would you recommend to install beta 3 on my Main Device? I was using beta 2 and 1 and I had to reverse to 17.5.1 sacrificing my banking apps.

[@mattybraps7620]

Hi Brandon, I love your videos! Keep it up! 👍

[@imashwinikr]

Lock Screen Music button is a welcome 🤗 feature for me.

[@jcamachoy]

My beta 3 keeps resetting my control center for some reason, should I reboot my phone?

[@XeZrunner]

4:20 The option for showing those audio output options for Siri is now in Settings > Developer at the bottom, suggesting that it's probably meant for developers for some reason.

[@cutie_2577]

Can turn WiFi and Bluetooth from the control center now or you have to go to the settings menu like in iOS 17?

[@dulhanweeraratne1749]

I yesterday updated to ios beta 18.3 ,but still my airpods pro 2 haven’t got firmware update, it still shows 6F8 , what should i do

Hey @Brandon Butch! Will iOS 18 Public Beta 1 and MacOS 15 Sequoia Public Beta 1 be stable enough to install on my main devices once they release?

[@stephenf8840]

Can someone clarify something for me please. I was told using a VPN on an iPhone/smartphone is useless since the phones GPS overrides the VPN making it useless. Is this true? Because if it is what I was told then a VPN on phone is completely useless. Anyone’s thoughts or comments? Thank you.

The only app crashing for me was the Apple Store App

[@dxmino7588]

When is the public beta coming Out somebody who knows please answer :)

[@rutepereira7628]

I think the plastic AW could be interesting but it all depends on the features. If it has the features as a typical Series 8 / Series 9, it might be worth it especially for folks who maybe can't afford the more expensive ones, and don't feel safe with getting them second hand?

[@BlogWithDanMan]

So I’m confused, are we getting Apple intelligence and the new Siri UI this year? And is Siri 2.0 different from Apple intelligence?

[@acesman111]

Only for iPhone 15 unfortunately

[@BrandonJPearce]

The app library was glitched for me. Idk if they fixed it, but with beta 1 you couldn’t launch an app from the App Library. It would only work from the Home Screen. I ended up going back to iOS 17, because I didn’t want to have put every app I wanted to use on my home screen

Can you do a small clip of what is coming along with RCS support (maybe w/ beta 4) like what the tap backs look like, writing indicators? What it looks like on an android when a iPhone texts w/ RCS. Etc. thanks.

[@EHall-yx9xy]

Hey Brandon. With RCS messages, can you remove yourself from a text message chain with android users? I hate getting caught in the middle of group sms messages.

[@Ios18.1]

In connectivity Control Center you have arrows that allow you to tap on once instead of long pressing to access more options

[@ryn1192]

iOS 18 Beta 3 has a bug which doesn't let me see screenshots in my photos app (iPhone SE 2020). They still appear in the "upload photo" thingy but I cannot see a single screenshot on my phone. I have reported it to Apple so let's see what happens. Btw, Brandon I'm wondering how do I connect with you if I want to share something important which you could use in your video like bug reports on SE 2020 or anything else.

[@JustJoshIsUnavailable]

Beta 3 is NOT stable 😭 My phone has self restarted like 10 times since I’ve updated to it when all I did was use it for my mobile hotspot. It also caused my custom control center stuff to revert to default.

[@ldontgiveaf]

dude it's in beta wtf do you expect that's also probably because your hardware sucks

I don’t like the idea of a plastic watch either. I got my first gen SE for $250. I see online that the second gen retails for $300 but is on sale at some stores for around $250. I’m not sure the $50 price difference is worth it for so much plastic that will be used and is that even a reasonable price for a plastic device? I’m not sure how much that material would hold up.
