Why did this RC feel like it took forever!?

[carsonrlong]

Natural language is an underrated feature! That’s sick!

[jamessnyder]

The hearing test arriving in the UK is perfect timing! Thank you for your comprehensive reporting Brandon!

[RaghavVijay]

About time we see iOS 18.2! -Can’t believe we are finally getting image playground and the new mail app, Looking forward to the final version-Thanks Brandon, love your content!

I’m no longer as hyped as before, still not over the fact that the base iPhone 15 doesn’t have apple intelligence

[MGH]

Oh, I thought it's just a matter of choosing the right filter in Photos showing. Wasn't aware it was really an issue that everyone encounters where recent photos are not showing in 'All Photos'. Thank you for thorough run through always, Brandon! 🎉

this update brings so much greatness with fixes and improvements

[zachleibovitz]

Do you think it's ok to install iOS 18.2 RC on my main device?

[thilinaperera]

What's that weather app you are using?

[ibnusinawiyono]

I want to ask, is it normal for my Iphone 15 pro using iOS 18.1.1 to get charged 2 times a day with only scrolling social media mostly with 9 hours screen on time and not much of background app activity?

[ClassicRiki]

5:58 Mate, that’s because it’s the RC…so no developer feedback features directly on screen, it’s not a design change…and it’s certainly not “moved” to the ellipses drop down

[dallastunestropic]

Any news on if they've finally fixed the bug that randomly favorites and unfavorites totally random albums in apple music since the feature launched? 😅😅

I hope battery life is better in 18.2.
I have the 16 pro and it’s on 18.1.1. For some weird reason the battery seems to running down a bit faster.

[maximusberry]

The battery limit is bugged, my phone still charging to 100 even tho it’s at 80

[AlQuran-Hidayah]

Brandon, great content as always. would love to see your content uploaded in HDR. 😊

[jasonboatwright]

Hey Brandon, What weather app widget is that on your home screen?

[coreytremblay]

How come RCS isn’t working with all android users anymore? Or is it just me? And also why can’t I get my AirPod Pro 2’s to get the newest firmware update?!? I’ve tried EVERYTHING! Please advise if you have any suggestions! Thanks for your help and thanks Brandon for another great helpful video!

[stevens]

Which app is making that Weather widget on your screen?

[Leeappleberry]

What about the audio sound that’s messed up on the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

[robertharris]

Is the battery intelligence feature still a thing or will that be for 18.3? Also, is that only an Apple Intelligence feature?
