How bad is the iOS 18 photos app? That’s the only thing keeping me from updating my iPhone 15 pro max 😪

I like the ios 18 photos app people will complain about anything lol

it's okay. takes a while getting used to but it inherently is worse than what they had before. like there's just a lot to take in every time you open it up (photos everywhere and apple's own albums that they've made) as opposed to just seeing folders / albums

not sure if there's a way to customize it or not

Ass, video player is horrible

finally got tracking for my phone

Not really bad but unnecessarily over the top

You can rearrange the tiles/cards however you want by scrolling to the bottom. It's literally just all your photos scrolled down to the most recent and below that you can set things up however you want

ngl I'm kinda disappointed with iOS 18
the best thing they did was to allow us to customize the shortcut buttons from the lock screen

yeah it kinda sucks a lot of problems

not a fan of the control center or photo apps

youtube the white bar at the problem doesn’t disappear like it used to

yeah control center sucks ass, at least they acknowledged that we want Wi-Fi control and not f***ing AirDrop

the white bar on youtube disappears for me (13 mini)

they even screwed up reddit widgets with this big icon mode

and so many misalignments like how are they even letting those go through

and then there's this

13 mini and 15 pro now

Planning on keeping it until like 2030

S*** is great apart from the video sliding feature where you can’t preview it like before

I got this case btw, this s*** is amazing

I’ll cop soon too

General consensus is if im on 17.7 or whatever that mini update was it’s better to wait a few more iOS’s or maybe even the whole iOS generation before updating?

today

my base m1 air started lagging and freezing for the first time in its life after sequoia Apple!!!!!!

why the black silicon case not even black wtf

I’ve never understood this mentality. I’ve been using iOS for 17 years and always updated when releases were made publicly available, or prior during the beta period. I’ve never once had a major issue, it’s only maybe one tiny bug or two that gets introduced and disappears a few weeks later. Just update when updates are available

The first iOS update of a new gen generally has the most issues

the difference from 12 pro max to 16 pro max is wild

my background looks so good on this phone

AirPods 4 are the best if you don’t like the rubber nub on the pros or like the way the regular AirPods feel. The noise cancellation is not as good but it’s like 80% of what the pros are in noisy places and 95% in good conditions. I really love these
