Next week could be the beginning of *weekly* iOS 18 beta updates! 🤩

Thanos snapping web content has never felt so satisfying now that we have Distraction Control 😂

[leonardogoodman]

i would like it if they replaced the sun on the weather app with a moon in dark mode

[BrandonButch]

Thoughts on the Safari 'Distraction Control' feature?

[MatrixRoland]

I would love a new search engine from Apple if it actually shows you useful information in the search rather than just links trying to sell your crap

[RaghavVijay]

I have been waiting for an apple search engine forever!!

[toetie]

Your Apple Weekly titles are misleading :/

[FriedChairs]

I like how the prompt tells it not to hallucinate. Does that really work?

[CoreHopeCentral]

I would like to have an Apple search engine. But I think the problem is that Google is collecting and learning for 20+ years. So I don’t know if Apple would manage to get to that level in such a short time. But I would definitely give it a shot.

BTW, great video as always! I got a member 6 days ago, so I can watch these perfectly crafted videos early!

While I was using the calculator, I noticed the new backspace button actually replaced the clear (C) button. At first I was a bit annoyed thinking I’d have to repeatedly tap the backspace button but then realized you can just hold it and it will clear everything. Not sure if you found/covered this already but I thought it was useful!

[NicRose]

Excited for the upcoming shortcuts video!

[Randuski]

I haven’t really had any noticeable changes in battery life when switching to 18.1. Maybe I’m just not doing as much on my phone, but it’s been pretty much the same as far as I can tell haha

[GoogleAnonimus]

I like the darker icon for the map app

[KageBlink]

yeah I really hope they fix the battery issues, it's awful, my phone is brand new the battery life was its main selling point for me xD

[revolutionar]

When we will get the floating bar in safari ? They showcased that in the event and then it was gone and nobody is talking about that anymore.

[direhavok]

I wish Apple would create ability to make a custom settings setup almost like a 2nd settings app. That we could customize with functions used daily.

Is there anything new with Mac OS Sequoia? I'd love to see an updated video on Mac OS

[CSXEK]

Using iOS 18 beta 5 on my iPhone 15 and I can tell battery life has been better for me and I’m so glad I don’t get apple intelligence idc for it I’ve had a good experience with iOS 18 beta 5

[BradCastYourSlf]

Any information on iPhone 16’s **data** speeds over the USB-C port?

[pulkitkumawat]

any idea when iOS 18.1 will enter public beta ?
