- [iOS 18 DB1] You can now select a preferred Home Hub instead of HomeKit picking one for you
This has been posted all over the place but if you haven’t seen it, this is a huge change.
To get it working, you need all your Apple TVs on iOS 18 DB1. Remove all your HomePods from your home if you have them. Then, you should see the option to turn off “Automatic Selection”. Turn it off and pick the Home Hub you want.
You can then readd your HomePods to your home. This process sounds painful but it’s actually pretty quick, HomePods remove, reset and readd to your Home fairly quickly. This whole process probably only took about 10 mins.

- Any changes to the video player in iOS 18?
I‘m still sad the "scrub anywhere" option is gone. Is that back by any chance? Or a double tap to skip option perhaps? Free zoom inside a video?
- Apple Intelligence - Supported Devices
Apparently coming in a dev beta soon, although properly launching in Fall.

Update your apps to use new features, and test your apps against API changes.
Typically more dev & API focused but helpful if you’re encountering an issue and want to know if it’s known, or want to see if there are any known showstoppers preventing you from upgrading.

iOS 18 makes iPhone even more personal, with deeper customization, new ways to connect, easier-to-find photos, and support for Apple Intelligence.
Always worth a look through for stuff that wasn’t mentioned in the keynote.

- Video player: scrubbing anywhere is gone
I‘m assuming I’m not the only one who’s missing this feature? There should be a "no look" version for fast scrubbing in the player, it’s really annoying they removed this.
- Has anyone tried the new transaction automation? (shortcuts)
If so, what data have you been getting? I just tried it and it seems like the merchant was empty. I was trying to save presets per merchant in a dictionary and was getting a "no key was provided" error: image.
- The small shortcut widget shouldn't need a dedicated folder
It should just have two options where I can pick the shortcuts. I get why the big widget wants a folder, but this is just annoying. It means I have to duplicate shortcuts with a different name if I want them in multiple widgets.

- [iOS 17] Sending photo location/caption always on in iMessage
I’m not really sure why this doesn’t appear to have a settings toggle, but every time an image is sent in iMessage, some location is sent, whether it’s yours or location data from the image itself.
I’m assuming it’s the original location of the photo taken, but I’m not sure. I tested it by sending an image to myself (which was surprisingly difficult in iOS 17), and there was no data attached, but it was an image downloaded from Imgur.

- Subtitle Bug
I am experiencing a bug that causes subtitles to appear tiny and in the bottom left corner. Other people have reported the same problem on Reddit. I have tried messing around with the subtitles setting to no avail, and was wondering if anyone has found a fix for it?
- Is anyone’s else’s screen time completely broken with iOS/iPadOS 17 and macOS 14?
Mines broken from top to bottom. The amounts are wrong, the UI is broken the buttons don’t work the graph is all deformed
- Kinda annoying that I didn’t need a hub for the interactive home widget in beta 2 / 3 but now I do?
I’m not going to buy an Apple TV or a HomePod just for this.
- [iOS 17DB4] Finally, there is an animation for the AirPlay menu!
Still no where near as good as it was pre iOS 14. It’s just a pop-out animation and it’s specifically for areas where the menu pops out from a button such as in the music app’s now playing screen
