[RadAlzyoud]

I follow quite a few Apple related channels but yours has become my fave. Specially the Shortcuts.
Thanks for sharing.

[yamil.]

Your voice is very soothing 😊 The photo app gives me anxiety 😬

[cdwtcdwt]

I say again… we need the option to remove the dock.

[rtayor]

Nice, straight forward and informative. No pretention. Thanks

[naser_si]

Does it relocatethe control center to the top for older iphones?

[woffi]

I would really love to use the Journal app mor often, but for that I need a MacOS-App und iCloud sync.

Just a question, how come ur using an iPhone 14? Do u have a different phone for public and developer betas? If so, that’s sickkkk

[LaEleB]

Hi Stephen, sorry for being a little bit off topic but I just bought a brand new pair of Aipods 3rd Generation Magsafe. No problem with the sound but - and I even try at home in a room calling a member of my family who was in the most distant room - no one can barely hear me when I speak. Could it be related to the fact that last night I downloaded iOS 18 Public Beta? Thank you very much in advance

[skot]

Is there a way to automate the icons to be large in the Home Screen only in specific focus modes?

[Evanescenceever]

does it still have the annoying extend wallpaper, that blurs the top part?

[JeffPom]

How stable will first public beta be? It sounds like it's been quite good? (I know - some apps may not work with it yet.)

[이놈사님]

Could this public beta1 have a bad or serious effect on battery efficiency?

[JeffPom]

@Apple should hear about your passwords feedback!

[levil]

I don't have the"send later" option

[SexManNordin]

Since Apple doesn't specify the version of the public beta, can you tell me which developer beta it is based on? I've been confused about this for a few years.

[MrNat]

For the people that downloaded the iOS 18 beta are you guys having any battery drain issues ?

[PixZTech]

Is Apple intelligence gonna be in the beta’s later on ?

[JeffPom]

But you CAN share a voice memo TO Notes... :)

[samckatz]

Best everything Apple channel hands down.

[RajatG]

dont just download it but do use feedback app to report any issue and battery drain
