Dobry evening
I was only offered an update on 17.7
I have 14 PRO
Do 17.7 and you'll get 18
Thank you 👍
You have to scroll down and not just stare at the top of the display
I have the public beta installed, just turn it off. beta update and offer me the official version? thank you
Poslední beta It's identical, so it won't work.
I feel that the public beta It's the same as the final one that came out now, so there won't be an update because it's the same, you have to wait for the next public update and not release another beta when it comes out.
The version has not changed. So you have the same version as everyone else. That's why it doesn't offer to download it again. There is no reason.
...if you want to switch to "stable versions" iOS, you must manually disable the installation in the settings beta version and then wait for the first next "stable version" update. The last beta, so-called RC beta (release candidate), is at iOS usually the first stable version. Don't worry, your iOS 18 RC beta is really the first stable version iOS 18. But you have to turn off the installation beta version, it won't do it by itself. If you don't turn it off, you'll continue to drive in beta program.
I'm already downloading to 15 pro, I had it up there iOS 18 and then iOS 17.7.
Thanks for letting us know. Let me know even if you're going to shit.
Good luck, at least we know what interests her.
Please also tell us the memory size and color.
Hit, sunk.
The update improved everything. I feel like the phone suddenly works 100 percent better. i love Apple. Android is shit
and is the battery better by 107%? 🤣
…. So the nickname says it all 😆
So it must have worked perfectly fine before.
On the other hand, Lakatos is a nice shitt. You have to disassemble the whole 🚜 for a five-minute matter 😂
The text of your comment
So not much battery, I charged the battery from 40 to 80, turned on Fortnite and the battery in 48 minutes to 52 and iPhone 15 for hot as a rock, that's what I like iOS 17.6.1 Sunday
This is nothing unusual.. Always when a new system comes out, or a major update, it consumes the battery naturally for X days.. Because there are trillions of tasks going on in the background..
Sunday? I have iPhone 15 Pro Max and when I turned on Fortnite 60 fps, I had to turn it off in 10 minutes because the whole mobile was hot, while Fortnite runs on mobile at minismall details.
Under call history there isoneIt has a search option. I would expect that after entering a name or number, it would show me a list of calls with that number and their date. But I would expect too much, it can only find a name from the list and call it, or look at the given contact in the list. What is it for? Very poor and again incomplete.
They are also looking at it. Totally useless :D
I can't install on iPad 2020 (32GB). I have 13,5GB free and it needs 13,1GB and it still gave me the error twice that it could not be downloaded and installed. Little space.
I had to wonder and the 32 GB version was actually on sale 😮😮😮 throw it in the electrical waste bin and buy it minia little 256 GB, that's what I have and I have 80 free
I open the iPad this morning and iPadOS18 is there. It updated itself 😉
I would try to update it via PC or MAC
Does choosing a default browser and default applications work for anyone? iPhone It still won't let me delete Photos or App Store.
That can't be deleted App Store I'm not surprised at all, it's like deleting settings. I don't know about photos, it makes sense to me that it won't work either.
Only buying another phone manufacturer will help here.
“Control Center will now allow max"imal customization", but I still have to go to the main settings to turn GPS on and off 🙈
What is the point of turning it off?? It eats up the battery miniand phone type iPhone can be found even in airplane mode and without a SIM card
No, in AIRPLANE mode iphone you won't find it.. go ahead and try it..
This can be set for many years
Hi, is iPhone mirroring working for you? so also with control on Mac?
No, and it won't work for you in the Czech Republic or anywhere else in the EU.
… it would work if it did Apple was able to meet the requirements of EU legislation. :-) How simple.
Somehow I don't understand what phone mirroring on MACOS has to do with EU and legislation. This is not Ai and data processing. this is controlling my device from my device.
Sorry, I'm not an expert on European law, so if you want an informed answer, you'll have to consult some really good lawyer who specializes in this field. – “CNBC reported that Apple is holding back iPhone Mirroring and enhancementancements to SharePlay for EU consumers due to similar concerns over DMA rules. Apple claims that "the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security.” – https://www.gsmarena.com/reminder_apple_intelligence_will_not_be_available_in_the_eu_or_china-news-64486.php
I'm starting to get more and more annoyed by these updates for our region, because the EU is just holding back development, so apart from cosmetic changes, the remaining 90 percent of things aren't available here, I was expecting it to be great. Iphone mirroring that in kancI won't have to constantly pick up my phone to control applications that only run on iphone on the Mac screen and unfortunately, I don't know why this doesn't work in our region either.
Considering that other manufacturers can do it on other devices and offer it in the EU, the problem is not in the legislation but in the fact that Apple trying to make policy through pressure from their customers.
Or he is completely unable to implement what the competition does. Anyone who defends this behavior is laughable.
AppStore after updating to iOS 18 on 15 it takes a long time to load and when I write everything there, skype spins for a long time before it finds it
When you click on a contact, it doesn't call right away. Thank God. I always wanted to put the phone down and the other party did it faster and I immediately started calling someone. 😂😂😂
So it keeps calling me and I don't understand, after all it must annoy every single user...
So I'm calling from the history list..
it calls me after touching the name, only if I hold my finger longer it will offer options. So to hell….
Please, how are you? iPhone ? I'm 15.
Please, how are you? iPhone? It doesn't work for me on 15tke. I touch it and it calls right away. It only offers options when you hold it down for a long time, when you touch it, it calls immediately.
No, it doesn't work like that. Sorry, I messed it up in the contact list. Oh, and I heard that somewhere. It doesn't work in History, sorry.
Well, I don't know when I read it here... I'll wait tactically and not update
I just updated macbook pro for 15 minutes and safari It doesn't give me badges. Facebookeven Google doesn't load badges...I guess it will eventually work like the previous version...I updated my phone to ios 17.7 and so far everything is ok...
really, I'll leave it on 17.7 for now, let me figure it out and maybe wait until 18.1...
she wrote about macOS, not about iOS. 🤦♂️
Hello, after updating to version 18 I noticed that when I open the app Safari, so I see enlarged application icons in the web interface. Do you know how to restore it to its original form? I tried searching through the settings Safari, access, but I found nothing.
It disappeared after the update. widget banks. And you can't add it back. Does anyone have a similar problem? Unicredit Bank

Hello, I want to ask how to enable the RCS service for SMS when I have iOS18?
Hello, it is active automatically. But for now it's no use, we lack support from the operators.
Thank you
I feel…
