iOS 18.1.1 Update Issues on iPhone

Help. HELP. Help. APPLE is non-responsive on problems with 18.1.1 Update. My calendar is not searchable. My voicemails are gone. My battery is heating up during charging. This has to be fixed. This is the worst of the worst updates. So many parts of the phone not working properly. APPLE - what are you doing? Leave the formatting alone. And to add to the problems - after the update - had over 30 calls come in from spammers and unknowns - How do we get APPLE to withdraw 18.1.1 and/or fix these problems?

Even at 81 years of age and about ten happy years of iPad and iPhone use, This latest update has me fuming and bewildered. My needs are simple. I email, i google, i am active on Facebook, on Message, in Italian and English, on a number of other Apps. Now I’m fighting to do simple things. Why are these perfectly spelled words all underlined? Why am i getting i when I want I? Why do apostrophes no longer appear? I’m sorry, Apple, but you are battering some of us with far too much. Most people neither want nor need these levels of “exras” (notice how it hasnt corrected either “extras” or put the apostrophe in hasnt”. What is going on. I’ve loved being with Apple - on phone and iPad, but this latest update is a mess and I’m going to have to re think (!) my allegience .

I can’t add a new event to my calendar in the usual way since the 18.1.1 so called “update”. I have heard of others with this same issue. I’m sorry for the person that wasted their time at the “genius bar”, I did that twice before but never again. I’m sure there isn’t a “genius” in the whole bunch! Why is Apple so cocky as to call these non-repair sites a “Genius Bar”? I am having issues withe the phone and I do not plan to go to the brick and mortar so called Genius Bar. I dropped AppleCare with this phone and purchased a plan through my Internet provider. I’ll see if there is anyone more qualified there than at the “Genius Bar”. Wish me luck! 😊

EXACTLY - this new update has me wanting to switch from having an iPhone and I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max which was purchased 3 months ago. I HATE THE PHOTO ALBUM LAYOUT - CANNOT FIND ANYTHING, I AM STARTING TO HATE MY IPHONE BECAUSE OF THIS!🤬

This is January 2025. The worst update ever, practically bricked my iPhone. Nothing works, including app store, eBay, browser search on Chrome and Safari are not working. I have not checked every app, but most start to load and freeze. I am currently updating to IOS 18.2 and hope this solves everything.

My iPhone XS ProMax stopped working completely right I after the iOS 18.1.1 software update! My phone was working perfectly before that update. I restarted the phone 20 times and I reseted it but still didn’t help!

The same happened to my friend’s IPhone 15 who bought the phone in May 2024. This update is a disaster and Apple support is not replying or responding to us at all !!!

The question is why iPhone 16 working perfectly and older models not. Did they intentionally do that to force people buy the new iPhone 16?????

just be brave, honest, transparent and reply us.
