iOS 18, what did you think?

i dunno will i be able to hook the phone to my pc and download all of my pictures and videos without having to deal with crazy file formats that won't download!!!
 
RCS from iPhone to Android stopped working for me about a week ago. I think it's on the carrier side, not Apple.

I'm wondering if some of the Android users I text with have RCS turned on. It is optional and I'm not sure what the default setting would be. For group texts everyone participating must have RCS turned on.

That's possible, but I think in this case my contacts that lost RCS do have it enabled. I switched from Visible (Verizon) to Total Wireless (also Verizon) because they are offering a $25/month unlimited premium data plan. Apparently, Total hasn't enabled RCS yet while Visible has.

No, but if you upload them to your iCloud, Apple will do the necessary conversions for you. The problem isn't with iOS but with the system that Windows uses to recognize what a file contains (by the file name extension). HEIF and HEVC are well-established in the graphics and video communities. ProRes maybe not so much.

At least is isn't as clumsy as the old Macintosh "fork" system where the file contents were modified to tell the Mac what application was used to "open" the file. Adobe does much the same thing with Photoshop even today!

Consider how long Windows users had to wait for Microsoft to add handing of .RAR and .7z files to Windows Explorer.
 
My 15 pro max is still on 17.7 and does not offer 18. Staggered release?
 
Im using on 9th gen 32gb ipad, i have no issue with it unlike entire 16.xx that was full year of my battery depleting 20~50% overnight or no reason at all no app running not even wifi and in "default" first startup/new state. after 6month give apple everything they want info was they said there nothing wrong with ipad hardware or software.

17.x fixed issue and 18.xx back to same my ipad back to surviving 7+ days till need charge 16.xx was getting charged ever 2 days. Would mind it on my iphone but is 6s which 16gb model but 16gb would not accommodate those os.

only thing I noticed really diffrent is setting layout changed and the photos app change which i dont care for
 
You are right.

Maybe tonight. But it’s always notified me before that such was ready. NBD.
 
I am on 18.2 now. Still not impressed with the AI except for the photo editing tool.
Thanks Scott. I figured you were on it. But you consider the betas stable enough for everyday use of normal things in iOS? I just upgraded to my 16 Pro Max, and am on 18.01. I expect AI will take a while to get there. But the photo editing is enticing.
 
Yes its stable. Haven't had any issues at all.

The photo editing is cool, I was playing with it and had a picture and for laughs decided to take the telephone pole out of the picture that was there. And it took it out and it even put filled in the clouds in the sky behind it like the pole was never there. i was surprised how the clouds looked like they were all there the entire time.
