Apple Preparing iOS 18.0.1 Update for iPhone Following Several Bugs

Apple appears to be internally testing iOS 18.0.1 for the iPhone, based on evidence of the software update in our website's analytics this week. Our logs have accurately revealed many iOS versions before they were released.

Generic iOS 18
We expect iOS 18.0.1 to be a minor update focused on bug fixes. Issues that could be addressed with the update include touchscreen issues affecting the iPhone 16 series and some older models, an iMessage bug where a shared Apple Watch face can cause the app to repeatedly crash, and iPadOS 18 bricking some iPad Pro units with the M4 chip.

It is unclear when iOS 18.0.1 will be released, but our best guess is the update will be available towards the end of next week at the latest.

iOS 18.0.1 will precede iOS 18.1, which Apple previously announced will be released in October. Already available in beta, iOS 18.1 includes the first Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone, including writing tools, notification summaries, and more. Apple Intelligence is available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and any iPhone 16 model.

Here is hoping this restores the ability to be installed to the M4 iPad Pro... which has lacked the ability to be updated to iPadOS 18.0 for 1.5 weeks now! This is unprecedented in the history of iOS and iPadOS releases and almost nothing is being said about the flagship iPad product and just what the heck is going on....

Good. Just off with Apple Support who ran diagnostics on iPhone 16 PM as mine keeps crashing and freezing after using camera button. No issues found so must be software.
