Washington: It has been reported that Apple is currently conducting tests on iOS 18.0.1 for both iPhones and this latest iteration is anticipated to be a minor revision, primarily designed to address a range of issues that have been affecting users since the release of iOS 18.
MacRumours has indicated that the update is expected to tackle several critical problems, including touchscreen malfunctions affecting the recently introduced iPhone 16 series and previous models.
Furthermore, users have encountered a vexing issue within iMessage, where the use of a shared Apple Watch face leads to the application crashing repeatedly.
Another notable concern pertains to iPadOS 18, which has been observed to render certain iPad Pro models equipped with the M4 chip inoperable.
Although an official release date for iOS 18.0.1 remains undisclosed, MacRumours has gathered reports indicating that it could be made available by the conclusion of next week at the earliest.
This update is set to lay the groundwork for the forthcoming iOS 18.1, which Apple has announced will be launched in October.
In its current beta phase, iOS 18.1 is poised to unveil the inaugural features under the new Apple Intelligence branding, featuring enhanced writing tools and notification summaries.
As reported by MacRumours, these innovative features are slated to be made available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and any model within the iPhone 16 series.
