Thoughts on the 18.2 final release date? I personally think we’ll see RC next week and the final on the 9th but we’ll see!

[adamgibbons]

This is hands down Apple’s worst year for software updates; everything is either delayed, buggy or not being released outside of US. I hope they get their act together in 2025, because this year’s offerings were pathetic.

[jasonacaron]

Apple is improving battery life by making everyone mad with bugs and delays so they end up using their phones less thus creating better battery life!

[runner-zc]

hopefully iOS 18.2 is the best iOS 18 update

Brandon, I have a crazy AirTag story for you.
On the 30th November 2024, one of my repeat scuba divers had just finished his last dive from his trip…so, I was emptying his weight pouch from his BC, when an AirTag fell out. It’s been inside his weigh pouch for 18 dives, at his deepest depths to over 70 feet…when he got back to his hotel, he used his phone to locate the AirTag, and it still works..

have they fixed the delayed notifications when having Apple intelligence on?

[jaworq]

I like the bug in iOS 18 (since the beginning until now ) where my ringtone volume is changed to the lowest possible for no reason. And I don’t hear when someone rings me ….

[Lifeisripe]

So no updates on AirPod max yet there no wire to connect AirPods Max usbc to my audio interface 😫

[jimscard]

I don’t understand why people think the thin and under-featured phone will appear in the iPhone 17 product line. They also mention a new iPhone SE. Am I the only one who believes these rumors refer to the same device, called the iPhone SE 4?

[CarloSnow]

Are the current 18.2 public betas superior to the latest official release (iOS 18.1.1)?

[woodcider]

Dude, please put beta in your thumbnails. It’s not 18.2 when it’s 18.2 BETA 4.

[nthaan]

ima touch you if you make another video about 18.2 that's title misleads me into checking my phone to see if its dropped yet

[TraddSlayton]

Brandon why does my phone auto dim randomly since at least the last minor patch. Auto dim setting is turned off! So freaking annoying.

[Branchofzion]

I really want an overview as to what has changed on iPad with the new update.

[cvhigh]

For the 17, I am worried about the aluminum frame and being so thin. Last time this happened the phones bent and the glass cracked; titanium is best. If they can make a phone thats thin without bending would be perfect! Great update, as usual, Brandon!! Chuck

[TreyWaylifeboy]

Hey Brandon happy late thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃

[danyuchiha]

I dont know if having the iPhone 16 Pro Max in the EU is good right now.

[jkirton]

Image Playground is only available in iPhone 15 and 16! Brandon, is there any way you can inform us of which model iPhones will be able to do some of the features you are discussing? Some people may not have models more recent than iPhone 13 Pro. TIA

[elbernabeutales]

they changed the clock widget to transparency effect and i hate it

[CheshireCatz]

I’ve been using the beta for a while and I can confirm that it so far hasn’t had bugs that I haven’t always seen
