I feel the large icons are too large..at least for me but maybe you get used to it. Apple please give us 3 sizes for app icons-small/med/large maybe and an option to remove icon text/description regardless of size. 🙏🏻

I’ve been debating on getting the beta but I’m a bit worried it’ll mess up my phone because of the bugs. Is that something I should be concerned about or do the bugs specifically apply to new features that I would have to implement for them to take affect?
Here's hoping that Apple will add the ability to use a first and secondary colors for the tint feature for icons. Having only the option for a black background and a highlight color is limiting. Otherwise, iOS 18 looks like a phenomenal update!! Obviously, a lot of features are well overdue but hey, better late than never. 😀
Just updated to IOS 18 dev beta today. I really like the home screen customization. I have wanted large icons and resizable widgets since I migrated from Android..
Can the transcription feature handle multiple languages? For example, if I'm recording a Spanish class, will it be able to recognize both English and Spanish in the same recording?
I love the Reminders app interface. Glad to see Passwords get the same treatment. I’d love to see a stand-alone Notifications app with the same interface.
As always, great video from Jeff - the reason I'm still subscribed to this channel. But it's strange that nothing was said about the Calculator. I will now happily delete all third-party calculators and converters, even paid ones, and probably stop using even Soulver.
ordering icons/widgets on homescreen or control center is a mess right now, you move one thing from one place to another and fckn every other icon starts teleporting to random other places.
Is it me or does the homescreen editing seems more stable on iOS 18 beta than on current iOS 17 (UI wise)? I’m quite surprised how smooth everything works for a first beta.
30:00 Thank you, finally I found a video that showed the zoomed-out gallery. I always hope they don't remove that viewing option like they did with the SE2.
I hope in the next update the Contacts & Phone App's UI gets a revamp as well. Also, can the new Passwords App generate a random password just like any PW manager as I can't see anyone does this on their videos
Jeff - How do I get the beta update for my AirPods Pro 2? I have a free developer account, but I do not have Developer Mode showing in my Privacy and Security section. I’m on iOS 18 Dev Beta on my iOS 15 Pro Max. If I pay the annual subscription for the paid Developer Account, will that put the Developer Mode on my iPhone?
@@9to5Mac if you're referring to the global one in settings, that is not new but what it doesn't count for is daylight savings. So if you have a meeting scheduled in London, for example, when the clocks change your reminder Will be off unless you manually update that reminder to account for daylight savings.
Won't be using the app icon tinting feature or dark icons. Their default approach to icons is pretty solid already, where it seems apparent that they prioritize easy navigation based on different colors and shapes. Love the new control center, looks insane! The iPhone eye tracking, in addition to Airpods Pro head "gestures" sound really useful. It makes a lot of sense, considering that they already have built in head tracking for spatial audio. I know Samsung kinda had these features years ago, but most people didn't appreciate it at the time
I’m running the developer beta since its release. It’s actually very stable. I’ve only had one issue…I was changing the icons to ‘tinted’ and it froze and then crashed. It’s only happened one time in the 15 times I changed it Other than that, it’s running very smoothly and battery life is good Just missing my call screen from s24u and pixel 8 pro
My biggest beef remains the lack of cross device porting of the Journal app. I'm a lifelong journaler, & the iPad is a natural for that! The iPhone is too small for me to use to document my world.
Love the hiking trails in National Parks added to maps. Are there any in Canada? About a dozen fantastic trails in Algonquin Provincial Park that we visit frequently, and it would be great to be able to use Maps there.
I feel the large icons are too large..at least for me but maybe you get used to it. Apple please give us 3 sizes for app icons-small/med/large maybe and an option to remove icon text/description regardless of size
I wish they improve Freeform for the iPad. In Miro app when you hand write on a sticky note your hand write is ON the note. You don’t have to group the handwriting with the note as you have to in Freeform.
Is anybody else experiencing their phone crashing every 5 minutes now on iOS 18? And is there a solution or do I just have to live with it until the next beta?😅 (my system data goes up and down A LOT and idk what that means)
I love everything about it this update besides the photos app. It’s just way too cluttered now and harder to reach certain things. They should have focused more on smaller more necessary improvements like being able to remove photos from your library after adding them to an album or being able to needledrop a location on a photo like you can on Mac or even being able to change the thumbnail of a video to any frame within the video
So Apple intelligence is not available yet?! I’m happy that some of the intelligent features are actually coming to previews iPhones other than just the 15 pros, I mean my niece who has an iPhone 11 Pro Max is on the beta and that calculator intelligent drawing math thingy is available for her…
I was sceptical when I read stuff before WWDC about iOS 18 being the biggest update ever. Yeah yeah we've heard it all before. Figured it would be all about the "AI" (ML) stuff but nope, this does genuinely look like the biggest best update it's had in many years. Almost everything demoed here is something I can't wait to use.
Well Jeff, If there was ever a question of whether jailbreaking is actually dead or not, I think Apple answered that question this year. They’ve officially covered just about every tweak I used to jailbreak for lol
Apple Intelligence features like this are coming later and will require iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max* or later, and iPad/Mac with M1 chip or later. * Unless there's enough backlash like with Stage Manager and they loosen the requirements a little.
The worst part is new gallery app, it sucks. They should copy samsung and allow users to order their pics however they want, also 0 improvement in the keyboard, gboard still miles ahead and the option to customize if you nod your head to answer or decline a call is because there are countries in which you nod to say no like in bulgaria
I feel the large icons are too large..at least for me but maybe you get used to it. Apple please give us 3 sizes for app icons-small/med/large maybe and an option to remove icon text/description regardless of size. 🙏🏻
Yep, agreed.
Actually I thought the same, but as you said, you get used to it, and I don’t think I’m coming back to small ones
Maybe it feels different on a larger device ?
I thought so as well myself-however no app descriptions under each icon is nice and a clean look!
And add the ability to hide app labels at any app size.
I would say that the flashlight width slider is not gimmicky at all and is actually a useful new feature!
I was playing with that feature and it’s cool they can do it with software.

Hopefully Apple adds more icon designs. Also, transparent widgets would be great too.
I'm running the iOS 18 beta 4 and after I rebooted the phone the tap to call button disappeared. Is there a fix?
Great vid. My main issue is that I can’t seem to access ‘favourites’ in photos with ease. Not a fan of the new photo app if I’m honest.
So for the scheduling text message you can only do it when you are texting another iPhone right or no
🎉🎉 to calendar and reminders linking. This was driving me crazy. I was trying to simplify my life
It was mentioned you can import passwords from another app , how do you do that ??? Thank you
For hidden apps, is it possible to search in the App Store and see if an app is downloaded that way?
How about lengthening to time to access jiggle mode.? I accidentally activate it all the time
the app store app icon is sticking out like a sore thumb when you choose dark mode. Why is it the only one not changed?
Here's hoping that Apple will add the ability to use a first and secondary colors for the tint feature for icons. Having only the option for a black background and a highlight color is limiting.

I like the changes, only big thing I still miss is horizontal homescreen mode, especially on a Max.
Thanks Jeff, your reviews are always so comprehensive and just so much better than all the others. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊
Jeff's 925 annual ios walk through has become a tradition, also his macos walk through. so well done. all you really need to keep up

You have to enable it under security and privacy after connecting to Xcode.
I am not about to transcribe and I have iPhone 14 Pro Max! Don’t know why 😢! Is it just for American beta?
If I lock & hide a app & someone go on the App Store & find out I have the app installed or will it show as a app not installed??
Can you specify a timezone for scheduled reminders and calendar events? Without this you have to manually edit all your deadlines any time you travel.
There is a time zone override feature. Is that new?

When apps are large in dark mode, the interface looks incredibly beautiful 4:38
This is definitely the most stable beta ever, have not had a single issue, 13ProMax, ditto my iPad 9th Gen.

Can only schedule messages iPhone to iPhone.
iOS 18 beta 1 here in KSA STILL NOT COMING 🙄
The passwords app is very welcome. Thank you, Apple
I'm guessing that Apple STILL WILL NOT ALLOW us to RENAME our photos IN THE Photos app on iOS iPadOS or macOS
Still there's no customization options in keyboard, can't change the size or can't remove the border, years behind google and Microsoft keyboard
If Apple Maps got rid of Yelp I’d be interested. Google maps having everything integrated makes it superior.
Not everything. I for one don’t want to share my info.
I really want apple to add Game Center icon to ipados
I wish they improve Freeform for the iPad. In Miro app when you hand write on a sticky note your hand write is ON the note. You don’t have to group the handwriting with the note as you have to in Freeform.
Making icons out of widgets and vice versa is pretty cool but moving icons anywhere I’m just meh about.
In some countries like Bulgaria shaking your head means yes, so that's probably why they let you switch it
Oh, really? Interesting. TIL.
Is still not possible to import passwords from a csv file in the new iPhone password app?
Correct, as far as I can tell.
So iOS doesn’t stand for iPhone operating system?
I notice that in ‘Notes’, the 3-dot drop down had nothing for AI, such as summarize. No AI in ‘Notes’?
Ai features not until beta 2 at the earliest.
They need to make a feature to change bubble color and add a background image in messages!

Did they remove the video scrubbing bar?
It's now a standard scrubbing bar (no longer shows frames, but that was pointless anyways).
Where is the remove object feature in photos

163 miss calls , you should pick calls 😅
The fact that he had to check if the reminder feature worked both ways lmao

where's the time shown.. feature.. when the is iphone dead
I’m saving that for the full walkthrough. I wouldn’t rank it among the top features.

Excellent as always. Thanks Jeff.
When something becomes outdated on Android devices, Apple takes it and tries to make it look they just invented it on iOS 😂
As an android and apple user I'm happy that I can customize my iphone the way I want. Ios 18 is buggy but we all know beta's come with it.
This almost look like old safe mode.
iOS 18 makes me feel like I am using an android version of apple , something like oneplus and other versions.
