    Quite glad that I held off installing 18.0 on my 13 Pro.  Just knew it would have issues. Hopefully they will roll out 18.1 with this fix in it asap.

    I have had this problem with my iPhone XS for so long that I thought that it must be a ´feature not a bug. It is particularly bad when trying to swap keyboards when changing languages. You can tap the keyboard icon til the cows come home and nothing happens. Fix it please.

    Yup, have experienced several instances on my 15 (non-pro) since installing iOS 18. Haven’t installed on 13 Pro Max yet for exactly this reason.

    This touch rejection feature sounds like the best idea ever, something I've wanted on touchscreen phones for over a decade, the trouble is implementing it, as it's all guesswork for the phone, maybe some extra sensors which don't yet exist will need to be added along with some neural implants, so the phone knows whether the touch was in fact a touch and that you weren't just handling the phone while the screen was on.

    I have this as well on 16MP. I thought it was the screen
    protector, at it seemed rather thick at 0.8mm. So removed it, and the issue persists.

    Do you use a screen protector?  Wondering if it is only happening to those who do.

    Did you try shutting down phone and cleaning whatever residue was left from the screen protector?

    I've experienced this on my iPhone 11 before putting 18 on it.  Very sporadically, and with no clear cause that I could reproduce.

    I hate to ask the obvious question,
    but don't they test software before they release it?

    is this the crowdstrike school of quality control ?

    3) The camera button (sorry Apple, it's a Button) seems very quirky, touch, half-press, finger slide . . .  I'm currently playing and learning with it. But it seems "longer" to access features than normally just using the touchscreen??  I'm not sure it's a real usable tool.

    Over on 9to5 MAc they have an article about how to turn off the extra functions so it is just a button. https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/23/camera-control-does-a-lot-but-you-can-also-make-it-just-a-simple-button/

    I noticed this on my 15 pro max that was on ios17. Seems like they cut their QA budget.

    Just curious if the recent spate of bugs in updates/releases are a function of the sheer number of devices apple has to test it on? Kind of pales in comparison to Apple's competitors woes but still its not something apple is used to historically.

    Don't be a dramatic - it's probably gonna be fixed with a 18.0.1 update, and it certainly isn't BSODing your phone.

    It happens infrequently enough that testers were probably thinking it was their screen protector causing the issue.

    I've experienced this on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, but I thought it might be related to the super-dumper TORRAS screen protector I'd installed - I've been resorting to doing swipes over the cards in my solitaire game.  :)

    I've finally experienced a totally dust-free bubble-free pristine screen protector installation, and I sure hope this is simply a software bug.
    Rip off that screen protector! You don't need it.
    I buy a Pro Max every year, and put on a screen protector and case before I even turn on the phone.

    This year instead of giving it to a relative, I'm selling my 15 Pro Max to buybacktronics.com - and was able to sell it as flawless despite experiencing a pinhole puncture in the screen protector.

    No matter who the next user of my phone will be, I like to keep it as pristine as possible.

    Anyone notice any weirdness with posts on this site?

    I've been noticing some kind of strange windowlet appearing on the left side of the editing pane after which my post disappears and a blank post window appears.

    Unfortunately, the windowlet disappears before I can read its contents.
