Is anyone here interested in iOS 18 db1 talk, or is this community kinda dead? (lemmy.world)

Would love to chat about it, I hate going back to Reddit but I do with Sink It! for the small communities, just like iOSBeta.

Learned a ton of QoL stuff there in this release that wasn’t covered in the Keynote and isn’t on the preview page:

Recents in Phone now have a call button instead of tap to call, which prevents accidental calls.
T9 dialing has been added, just enter the first few letters of a contact’s name via the dialer and their contact appears.
Apple TV controls on Lock Screen tuck away into a dropdown, preventing accidental scrubbing.
Long-press the Flashlight button in control centre, and on Dynamic Island models you can set beam width by dragging right or left, and intensity by dragging up and down.
Calculator has full history, editing of already entered numbers, multi line.
Reminders show in calendar now and can be tapped to complete them.
Calendar UI has been totally reworked, multi-day view is awesome.

The more notable stuff is also on https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-18-preview/ which I encourage everyone to read. It started being less comprehensive in the iOS 17 cycle which is disappointing, but it still covers lots that wasn’t talked about in the keynote.

EDIT - I posted the preview page and release notes, trying to help stir up some discussion.
