Have you installed this, is it running well?

Not sure I’ll rush into loading this as I’m in the UK and AI won’t be available here until December.

I have installed it 10 minutes ago. So far, so good.

I had 2 issues with iOS 18.0 series and I’m not in a situation to reproduce them. One is with the CarPlay HUD integration cutting the direction at 13 characters (will test next time I’m in my car) and the other is Now Playing crashing (this one is random and takes time).

Also, I will note that Apple Intelligence is obviously not available to me as a Canadian

Good to know, I’ll give it a couple of days before I take the plunge I think, just to let it settle down first!

So, I went through the new features. Here are those I have seen on my iPhone 15 Pro Max on 18.1:

• Call Recording
• Spatial photography/recording
• AirPods Pro hearing features

A very minor update.

I will edit my post when I have tested the easily reproducible bug.

Edit: The defect around the CarPlay Heads-up Display Integration… not fixed.

Thanks for the tip! Installed and running well so far!

With CarPlay is it a wired or wireless connection? My XT4 is wireless, not seeing any issues.

One thing I've noticed with 18.1 since the public beta start, and having upgraded to the new AI Siri for the last few weeks is that carplay on a 2023 Nissan Rogue she's very buggy in reading/creating new text messages. She'll cut off in the middle of asking you to dictate the message, and then cuts off trying to read it back. Though it seems to still work, and the Siri border is lit up as expected. Happens both wired and wireless. It was doing it as of the RC last week, but I have not tested since yesterday's official release when those of us on the RC beta got a small update (usually in the past RC betas haven't typically gotten an update on launch day I think). Could just be a Nissan issue as well, it's a new system for 2023 and it seems like it's been buggy even before 18.0 or 18.1 and AI stuff.

I tested with both and I reset it as well.

This is a regression in iOS. It was first fixed in iOS 14 and they broke it in iOS 18.0.

Wireless CarPlay has always been troublesome, cutting off regularly due to 2.4GHz interference.

What I noticed with iOS 18.1 is that my watchOS 10 no longer reports its status to the iPhone.

For instance, the alarm clock rang on my phone and my watch, instead of only on the watch, while wearing it.

And it worked perfectly last night

You need to update the firmware of the cars navigation/av system
