iOS 18 DB on daily iPhone 15 Pro Max very stable!!

[C7 POWER]

I never have done a day 1 developer beta, I always wait for Public Beta.

Yesterday I decided to jump into DB and try my luck lol.

VERY stable!! Battery life today has been fantastic and all my apps work.

Tryou shocked at how great this is day 1.

Same here on my 15 Pro!

 

[DarkSorrow82]

Same here. It works really good.

14 Pro fine too. I have some wonky animations here and there, that might be because limit frame rate is on, or it's just regular beta stuff. All of my regular apps still work perfectly. Battery life doesn't seem any worse.

If I'm remembering correctly, sometimes these summer betas get worse throughout the testing period - ex. apps that work fine now might have problems in beta 2 or 3.

How’s battery life?

 

[Jkeith85]

Runs great. Messages with pictures are a little delayed

How’s battery life?

The first several hours my battery was super hot but I expected that as it sorted out all the new stuff, but yesterday was normal as iOS 17 and today so far so good.

A friend showed me iOS 18 running on his iPhone 11 Pro earlier. It did seem very slick and smooth 😎

 

[MuGeN PoWeR]

running on 14 Pro max. working fine

 

[joshwithachance]

For now.*

14 Pro Max reporting here. Works great.

15 Pro Max. Works like a charm. Smooth. Just usual visual animation delays & bugs which is expected and which is totally acceptable for me. I am happy with it. Battery life is good as well.

15PM no issues so far... First 2 days battery life was crap, but that's to be expected with the new OS indexing and me poking around constantly with the new features.... 3rd day and today battery has been much better.

Agree. Haven’t been in the beta game since probably iOS 13 and have never seen a beta 1 so stable. Although I’m not a power user. Also never had my phone get hot or lose battery quickly, but I was patient and let it update in the middle of the night while sleeping.

I have seen multiple strange behaviors and bugs in control center, but other than that, absolutely nothing.

I’ve had incredible results, honestly kinda does feel like a beta. That said I will not be surprised if B2 💩’s the bed more as is often the case. It’s almost as if they need bugs to remind us they are working on it still.

Only issue I saw was yesterday when I opened my wallet app and clicked on my Apple Card to make a payment, The card would not load the transactions or balance. I had to restart the wallet app 3 times before it came back up. Only time it did that.

Omg don't install BETA software on your MAIN DRIVER!!! Your phone will literally explode! /s

I'm patiently waiting for the public beta to install it. I haven't been this excited for an iOS release in years. Good to hear it's stable. Are your banking apps/vpn (if you have one) apps working? I remember having some issues with them on previous iOS betas.

I have had it on my one and only 15 Pro Max since an hour after it was released, zero issues and very stable and great battery life. All my banking apps, and I will say EVERY app on my phone has worked flawless with this first Developer Beta

I was just having a joke about those people who like to tell people not to install betas on their phone lol. Seems like it's stable enough for those who only have one phone (most people) and my experience with betas is that they are largely stable and any bugs are minor (for the average user). The only apps I've had trouble with in the past are banking/VPN related.

As soon as I can install the beta I'll be doing it.

Thanks!!

Still a lot of time for things to break.

 

[T-Will]

Working fine here (15 Pro Max). No noticeable major issues (just minor UI issues with Control Center and occasional Photos app UI weirdness and crashes). All apps I've used work fine.

Installed it less than an hour ago on my 13 Pro - it’s super stable, and also the battery seems to improved to iOS 17.5.1!!!
Maybe I just stay on beta one until September’s official release
Then I can be sure nothing else breaks

 

[krspkbl]

are you all on developer accounts? do i really need to wait for public beta?

 

[Stiille]

The developer account is free, just logged in once with my Apple account - and after that I could access Settings -> General -> Softwareupdate -> Beta Updates -> developer beta iOS 18

Simple as that 😂

It’s free so I enrolled into it last year
