For example, YouTube is so dominated by ads you likely spend more time watching ad breaks for nonsense than you do actual content. So, users have no choice but to pay for YouTube Premium and block those ads to get a proper viewing experience.

Apple users have at least one choice besides paying for YouTube Premium: The macOS and iOS Brave Browser is capable of blocking YouTube video ad breaks that are not embedded within the content.

The issue is not llimited to iOS 18.0 and 18.1.
My iPhone 12 Pro is running iOS 17.7.1, and I also encountered a blank Notes screen this morning.
The names of Saved Noted on both my phone and on iCloud all 'disappeared' after agreeing to the updated iCloud terms and conditions.

First, I confirmed that I was connected to the internet via WiFi. Then I went to Settings, Notes, and because I share most Notes with other Apple devices via iCloud, I re-selected iCloud as the default location for my saved Notes.

In a matter of a few seconds, the filenames of both iCloud notes and notes stored locally on my iPhone began reappearing in the Notes selection list. In a few minutes, both lists were fully restored.

The native iOS 17 Photos app has tilt/shift capability for perspective control, located within the Crop tool, as the attached screenshot illustrates.

I don't recall exactly what iOS version first added these tools to Crop in Photos, but it seems like it was around 2021.

So what happens when the detection algorithm is wrong? Does Apple deny the warranty automatically, or do they actually check the device(s) first?
My 2012 Mac mini occasionally claims it has detected moisture present in my iPhone 12 Pro that has never been damp or wet, when I use a 6-foot-length non-Apple Lightning cable to upload images to the Mac mini from the iPhone.
Using a 3-foot-length genuine Apple Lightning cable, no such warning ever appears.
