Hi Katey,
Thanks I was not aware that I have to opt in. I’m not sure I want to since I am a sceptic. Thanks.

Hey, I noticed while I updated my iPad and my iPhone 15 Pro Max the same thing. I picked up both devices and there was nothing on the screen so I held the power button in on both devices and then it powered on. Also, you have to opt into Apple Intelligence under Siri.

My first thought was that you didn’t give it enough time between the update an restart. Did it start up once before you restarted? I’m not a big Apple Accessibility fan, but from a tech end, my first thought with solving that type of problem is plugging the phone into a computer and letting iTunes reinstall the software, something that cannot be done over the phone or with the phone by itself.

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. Eileen -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
