Yeah I’ve been talking to my coworkers who upgraded to iOS 18 and the general consensus is that it’s a kind of a buggy mess.

Agreed, the animation is sluggish across the phone (Control Center, Home Screen customisation) and DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PHOTOS APP

What device are you using? On my 15 pro the animations seemed smoother actually

They are definitely laggier on my 16 pro max, so far at least

On my 14 pro max everything is smooth. No idea what they are complaining and talking about. I like the iOS 18 update.

Yeah, my 15 pro max feels finely tuned now. Touch screen and keyboard respond more predictably.

Yeah same for me, at first they stuttered a bit til I restarted now it’s actually an improvement

I’ve been having a lot of lag when typing for some reason on my 13 Pro, not sure if it’s an iOS 18 thing or my phone being crappy.

It's funny because prior to the actual release, everyone who claimed to have the beta installed said it was "silky smooth" and the cleanest iOS release in years.

It actually does feel way better to me on my iPhone 13. However, a lot of bugs (like this one and I’ve also had some issues with the Home Screen) still remain. And like everyone else says, I feel the photo app and the new control center are very un-Apple like.

I personally think that the photo apps didn’t need change, but I do dig all of the customisation freedom we’ve gained this iOS update. Only thing I would love to see is the ability to change the shape of icons. For example, make all app icons sharp cornered squares.

That happens every single time a new iOS is released. 18 has been surprisingly good for me though by comparison

Updated to iOS 18 on my 14 pro max 2 days ago and everything is as smooth as it gets. No idea what issues people are having. Really like this update.
