Because of my work, I don’t mind taking one for the team and installing beta versions of iOS for my iPhone 15 pro max and Android for my Pixel 6 Pro. Yes, the latter should collect dust in a drawer, but Google has extended Android support to include Android 16 and Android 17. Yesterday, I installed Android 16 QPR 1 Beta 1, which is the first beta version of the Pixel functionality function in September.
On the other hand, with the release of Stable IOS 18.5, I temporarily removed from the beta track of the iPhone, and I can’t wait for June 9, which is the opening day for WWDC 2025. IOS 19 beta. Usually, the first beta version for a new iOS construction is the most puffed and has the most impact on battery life. Before deciding to install iOS 19 Beta 1 (to come in 19 days), take it into consideration before shooting the trigger to install it.
Now that the vast majority of iPhone users are out of iOS 18.4 Beta outputs, you could actually wish that you did not do it. It’s because a bug in the stable iOS 18.5 The version sometimes prevents the screen from responding to a touch entry. For example, on my iPhone 15 pro maxOn some sites, typing the “X” in the left or right corner to leave an application does not register with the phone. On YouTube, another iPhone 15 pro max The user writes that he has not noticed any change in the battery life with iOS 18.5. “However, I noticed that the screen (not) sometimes responds to the touch and this happens in any application.”
Others complain that their iPhones overheat with iOS 18.5 Installed. Some say that since the installation of the update, they have not noticed any change in the life of the battery on their iPhones; Others say they are now seeing an improvement in the battery life. And yes, there are quite a few who say that the lifespan of their battery has worsened with the update iOS 18.5. Others report other problems such as the disappearance of icons and laghed performance.
All these bugs, in particular the one that prevents the screen from reacting to the touch, could lead Apple to release a iOS 18.5.1 Update. Hopefully this update would include a fix to exterminate all the aforementioned bugs.
