Hi All,
Just wanted to relate what a bad experience I had in updating my phone's IOS
from 18 to 18.1.
This morning I finally did the update to 18.1 and once VO came back on I
could not get my fairly newish iphone 15 Pro to restart. After several
attempts, I called Apple Accessibility for help to try and get the phone
started. NO luck and their final suggestion to get the phone up and running
was to bring the phone into the Apple store nearest me.
I was in a total panic since I am now using a new insulin pump that I am
able to operate through the phone and its tied into my CGM which also gives
me readings through the phone. My biggest fear was that The insulin pump
software was going to reset and require sighted help to get up and running
again. Any way, I set up an appointment and had a family member ready to
drive me over. Before leaving to go to the store, I tried once more to start
up the phone. On this last attempt, a good hour and a half from when I
started the updated and it originally came back with the screen saying
"Hello," it finally, presented the screen that prompts for a apple passcode.
Once I entered the code it all seemed to be working but what a worrying
update with this IOS release It was not a major jump in versions and the
only reason I can think of is that 18.1 is introducing Apple Intelligence
which I'm assuming is an A.I. update. What also added to the frustration of
this was the fact I called Apple Accessibility and the rep could not
determine that the phone was still going through the update or installation
process. It was much easier for them to just issue a bring it into the store
statement than to try and figure out the issue at hand.
Any way, I'm blowing off steam, but some who may not have done this update
yet - be ware.
