Thank you for having an iOS 18 feature video that’s not an hour or two long. 🎉🎉

Finally that damn torch and camera will be banished from my lock screen. No more walking around with the camera or torch inadvertently on.

I always have to come here after I update so I can remember what to be excited about :D

Thanks for letting us know all about the new update

Dan is the man. Keep the excellent content coming!

So love the video. I always come here to check out what you have to say. But will all the promises Apple made about the time frames of the roll outs of new features actually happen? That is my question.

The iMessage feature for sending messages later is not available in the public release of 18 as of right now, at least on my device its not there.

I was/am on the developer mode, I didn't get the official update since the build # I have is 22A3354 right? Do I turn now off the Beta updates and go ahead and perform my first official iOS backup as a regular/normal iOS user?

[tbforlife]

how do i remove reminders from syncing to my calender? I dont want that but it auto updated to that when i got IOS 18

[UlrikHartig]

Dual language keyboard was long overdue.

The fact that all the icons must be in the same tone makes this function useless. It would have been useful to color code the apps by category, but now it is only superficial and useless

Only a mad man hides their Spotify app

[MoghulVeyron]

I never realised how all the odd colours of different apps had no uniformity at all and was distracting. Enjoying making them all one tone.

Never update to the new software until waiting for the reviews. You've waited a year, what's another couple of weeks going to do. By waiting at least a couple of more weeks, you are protecting the battery life and health of your phone. If you update right now, the battery life will be draining a lot faster than usual. Meaning more charging, meaning more heat to the phone, meaning more damages to your iPhone. Just wait for like idk 18.0.2 or even 18.1 that's what I do and I never get the battery draining issues that almost every user gets. You will get battery draining issue, even after updating after a month or so. But only for a day or two and then it's back to normal. If you update right now, you'll get battery draining issues, up until they find a fix, which could take upto a month or longer. So just wait
